    Loved the food. The service was the best ever service I’ve ever gotten. We ordered the shrimp starter and two of the lobster with caviar and those were delicious. The salmon and salad with grilled chicken were great. And dessert selection was top notch. The best ever. Highly recommend.

    We love the Village Pub. We are loyal guests coming for 15 years. And though we moved away, we make sure we have dinner here whenever we get back to the bay. Dinner and service last night was top notch again. The duck was phenomenal and so was the truffle stuffed chicken. Followed by the always delicious chocolate soufflé and the beignets. Can’t wait to come back

    Everything was good except the noise level at lunchtime in the main part of the restaurant. We could not hear each other speak. We had to move to the annex in back, which was fine.

    Firehouse Bistro was a great experience in every way. The house salad was very fresh, with a light and complementary dressing. The grilled salmon and sea bass were perfectly prepared with just the right seasonings, some delicious side vegetables, and savory rice. Our servers were cheerful and appropriately attentive. We look forward to another visit!
