What Steven likes about The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant:
We had an amazing experience! Our waiter Alex was phenomenal! He explained the cocktails perfectly and even provided his honest opinion! He also pointed us to some of the best items on the menu.The cocktails were very good. I had something with mezcal and watermelon. The old fashioned was a little on the sweet side.The food: ricotta balls are PHENOMENAL!! Must try! The meatballs were very good, and the chopped salad... View all feedback. What Gelderlander doesn't like about The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant:
A cavernous 2 story restaurant , loud upbeat and bustling. We had a business diner and were given a separate room on the top floor. This is great, comfy sofa’s and a ‘fireplace’ make it very enjoyable. Service was forthcoming and quick. Food and presentation was unremarkable. View all feedback.

I've been having a job. waitress was strange. she looked overwhelmed and not super friendly. the food was good. it's pretty loud, but the atmosphere is great.

The restaurant offers a unique dining experience in a cavernous 2-story space with a loud, upbeat atmosphere. Some customers appreciated the separate rooms for special occasions and cozy seating, while others were disappointed in finding sand in their salad and felt that the food and service were below average. However, there were positive reviews noting exceptional service from waitstaff like Alex and Keith, who provided excellent recommendations. The food received mixed reviews, with standout dishes like the ricotta balls and lamb appetizer. Overall, the restaurant is known for its great steak options, solid wine list, fair prices, and excellent service.

This place is decent but super expensive. Seafood is overpriced, and the meatloaf is too salty. Get a couple of beers on tap. Also, don't order the specials.
