5.0 of 5 stars. Best wait staff in Portland, hands down. Everyone who's waited on me has remembered me, it'd almost be creepy if they weren't so damn friendly and sincere! Super unpretentious and approachable....

Fantastic pizza and experience

My husband and I tried Firehouse a few weeks ago, on a Sunday night (so not very busy at the time). We loved it. Great ambiance with all the brick. Seems like it'll be great in the warm weather when they roll...

Fantastic Food and a great use of an old fire house.

I have to say i have had all the main entrees and you really can't go wrong. and the space has a great urban brick feel. The one down side is the menu is small and doesn't often change.
