Firehouse

This place has crept into being one of our favorites. My husband managed to book Firehouse for my birthday and 20 some guests here. Thank you Firehouse for being awesome and taking good care of us and making me delicious dirty martinis and putting up with me! You all were awesome the food always amazing and we hope you enjoyed the party as much as we did. Thank you! Everyone enjoyed and raved about the cauliflower, carrots, steak and the torte! Honestly all was perfect.

My friendive down the street from here so we stopped by for a casual dinner one night. The beets and cauliflower appetizers were very good, but carrots were a bit too salty for my liking. The pasta was also great, and the mushroom pizza looked good but I didn't have a chance to try it! The vibes were a little weird that evening, and the restaurant was very smoky, so not sure what was going on but we still enjoyed our visit.

The arancini verde is unique and delicious and the other menu offerings were quite good as well. Dessert was a miss, sadly, with a dry and dense lemon (pound?) cake that you should surely avoid. Good service and decent atmosphere, though I was expecting a bit more atmosphere from a converted firehouse. Out of the way location too.

Firehouse Restaurant is a wood-fired wonderland, where the aroma of smoky goodness meets American culinary excellence. From perfectly charred steaks to wood-fired pizzas, every dish is a flavor-packed delight. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff complete the experience. For an irresistible journey of wood-fired perfection, Firehouse is the place to be.

If you are looking for a restaurant for your private event, look no further! Please have your private event here!! The food and drink were amazing!! The atmosphere was cozy and made our wedding rehearsal dinner so special. Alec made all the arrangements soooo easy, as well. Thank you Chef and team!!

Looking for food away from downtown, on our way to our place we were staying for RCCC. I found this place randomly and we decided to try in. On a Sunday night, we didn't have reservations but the bar counter had space (or we could have done outside, covered). The bartender was very friendly and welcoming, I both liked and disliked the limited menu. My husband got the steak, I decided I could do pizza, as I could take it back and eat cold leftovers. 3 choices; margarita, mushroom, sausage. I would have gotten mushroom, but I figured if I was going to splurge... It came with scissors to cut your own slice! I loved that (never seen it done). Crust was thin and tasty. Onions were big pieces but soft, sausage was savory and not spicy. Husband liked his steak, they cooked it to perfection. We didn't order alcohol drinks, which I felt bad about, but we were so tired and still needed to drive. Parking is street parking, and wjikw there are no stairs, I feel it would be difficult for ADA accessibility.

We arrived earlier than our reservation and table was still occupied, they were kind enough to let us sit in dining area upstairs. Which was much nicer, quieter and we were able to have a conversation without too much noise. I found downstairs to be on a noisier side as we barely heard what host was telling us. Food was amazing. We had special appetiser charred Brussels sprouts with cranberries and blue cheese- such a fantastic taste, I barely able to find well made sprouts and these were the best so far. We then had simple butter pasta for kids and one pasta to share. Kids pasta was delicious, as well as ours. Rich taste, good portions. They make in house cocktails- I’d recommend trying ginger based one (if you are friends with ginger and tolerate some spiciness). We had trouble finding parking though, took us a few rounds around the blocks to find a spot. Great place, I’d be happy to return to try their pizza next time we are visiting Portland.

We had our reception here and the Firehouse restaurant crew went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. Our guests kept saying that it was the best wedding food they ever had and the place is so beautiful and has perfect ambient to get the party going. The salmon, ribeye, radicchio and beet salad, and olive cake were some of our best highlights! Highest kudos to Alec who managed the setting, helped us tailor the menu and drinks, and being very accommodating but also shared his expertise to make sure the reception is perfect. The staff and bar crew were so friendly and kind, hustling all night to take care of us. Highly recommended for wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner, or other special events!
