    It’s in Old Town and you have to walk on wooden sidewalks and old brick cobblestone streets so women should be careful about wearing heels. They do have valet parking if you want to avoid that issue.

    We were somewhat skeptical about how nice/good this place would be, due to the location in Old Town Sacramento, which is just so overly-touristy. But we were highly pleased and surprised. Food, drinks, service, ambience are all great. We had: Creamy Corn Soup -- Smoked tomato coulis, huitlacoche, crispy hominy & micro cilantro garnish, very good & the crispy hominy was a fun added texture. Seared Day Boat Scallops -- Fava bean puree, king trumpet mushrooms, Easter radish, spiced Applewood smoked bacon, herbed beurre Monte'. -- This was absolutely fantastic, nothing bad or negative to say about this dish. Every bite, every ingredient was perfect. Prime dry-aged New York Strip Stead -- Applewood smoked bacon & onion jam, Marchand de vin, 10 oz. -- Very good. Grand Marnier Souffle' -- Dark Chocolate sauce, vanilla bean, & white chocolate anglaise (allow 20 minutes for cooking). Again, perfection! So delicious! Cocktails: Lavender Haze -- Empress Gin, lavender bitters, lemon juice, lavender syrup, egg white. Pretty and delicious! Aviation -- Empress Indigo Gin, Maraschino liqueur, Creme de Violette, lemon juice. Very good! Dinners also came with a bread basket, as well as an Amuse Bouche. (The amuse bouche we had was delicious! Basically a "take" on a cold potato-salad -- half a tiny red potato with lots of yummy things on top. So tasty!

    Sacramento's The Firehouse was fabulous. We had requested al fresco dining and are super glad we did. It was beautiful, the ambiance was amazing, and all the tables were placed just far enough apart so that you could hear voices but not conversations and the wait staff had no problem going between tables. The food was excellent and the presentations were inviting.

    Awesome experience. My date had the scalllops and I had the pork chops. Cooked to perfection. Cocktails were delicious. For dessert we had espresso martinis. Staff were friendly, professional and provided excellent customer service. If you are in Old Town Sacramento highly recommend.

    We had dinner her last Monday night> The evening was warm and we sat outside in the lovely garden patio. The food was very good, the desserts were unusual and outstanding! Very good service, food and ambiance. The noise level outside was quiet, which was great!

    For the premium price of $85.00/person, we expected more upscale choices and at least one cocktail/glass of wine included.
