    Excellent experience at Firehouse! We celebrated our son's birthday on the lovely patio. Staff were so friendly and attentive. The decor is very cute; much nicer than I had imagined for a casual American eatery. We'd reserved a table on a Thursday early evening and the restaurant was fairly quiet, but it was a cloudy evening so I'd expect bigger crowds on sunny days. Food and drinks were delicious. We'd definitely eat here again next time we're in PB.

    The only good thing about our visit was our waiter, who genuinely did his best to make up for the bar staff and even took over some of their work. The food was okay. There was far too much staff standing around, seemingly more interested in looking good than actually working. We won’t be coming back.

    Really good Food we took our staff appreciation here for Life’s A Beach volleyball club. We had everything on the menu and it was fabulous. Great vibes. Good DJ Ramsey was our hostess and she did great seating our entire party. It was just an amazing overall experience. We’ll do it again

    Arrived l time for our reservation and we were seated in the lounge for dinner. Asked for another table because we could not eat using a coffee table. The hostess told us the other tables were reserved for reservations and larger parties. So as I watch her seat other people in actual tables I told her we were not gotta sit here and would leave if not given another table. She proceeded to give a table on the patio in the corner where the sun was shining on us the whole time. We had our meal sweating the whole time because of the sun and couldn’t get our waitress to bring us our check after asking 3 times. Finally on the fourth time they brought our check and we left .Will never return to this place or recommend to anyone.

    The TVs were extremely loud and our server was very hard to get the attention of. The food was good though, especially the duck fat fries when you dip them in rooster sauce.

    Outstanding dinner. They have happy hour that is 50% all the food from 3 to 6 PM Monday through Friday. We had amazing brussels sprouts, tuna, clam chowder, kale, salad, and sliders… All outstanding and a great value and a great rooftop view
