Firehouse Restaurant on Postcard

"The exposed brick walls and hardwood floors of this Woodlawn restaurant’s private dining room make for a homey but still elegant setting, complementing dinners of pizza and fresh pasta. The room seats 40, with meals starting at $30 per person for a buffet-style event. Menu highlights include whole roasted trout with salsa verde, coal-roasted rib-eyes, and Bolognese. Learn more on the restaurant’s website." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"In case pizza had you thinking of slices and casual vibes, let’s set the record straight. We think it’s safe to say that Firehouse is one of — if not the only — fine dining establishment in Woodlawn. Housed in a historically rich building (yes, an old firehouse), it is a restaurant with an air of class and menu rich with southern Italian fare. It’s the perfect place for date night, good conversation, or just a dependably quality meal." - Matthew Anderson

"This beautiful Woodlawn restaurant sets a romantic scene indoors, sporting charming brick walls and wood-fired oven that make for an exceedingly cozy urban wedding. Guests can snack on pizzettes, burrata, roasted vegetables, and handcrafted pastas, with desserts like tiramisu for those skipping the tiered wedding cake. The restaurant is home to a second-floor private room that can accommodate 60 standing, but couples can also buy out the full restaurant for larger celebrations of up to 150 guests, including the patio. Those interested can also just rent out the string-light-lit patio, which seats 40 comfortably; for summer weddings, this is the ideal spot for a ceremony." - Jenni Moore, Eater Staff

Thank you Firehouse team for making our wedding day go perfectly! We booked out the entire restaurant for the day, so we were able to decorate and get ready starting at 11am. With our 42 guests, we held the ceremony in the patio out front, then had dinner upstairs and the dance party downstairs. The food was incredible and we heard so many compliments about it from our guests. Working with the events manager (Alec) was great with his quick responses, flexibility, suggestions, day-of coordination, and DJ-ing!!

My friendive down the street from here so we stopped by for a casual dinner one night. The beets and cauliflower appetizers were very good, but carrots were a bit too salty for my liking. The pasta was also great, and the mushroom pizza looked good but I didn't have a chance to try it! The vibes were a little weird that evening, and the restaurant was very smoky, so not sure what was going on but we still enjoyed our visit.

Best Portland restaurant I've been to in a long time!! The roasted carrots are phenomenal! Well seasoned and perfect texture! The cauliflower with lemon crema is mouth watering! The carbonara was rich and decadent and the flavor profile worked so well. The dinner was light, rather than heavy!

Friendly, fast service. Seating indoor and outdoor with tables and a bar seating area. They have a tasty selection of offerings such as pizza, pastas, salads and entree items. I started with the focaccia which was cut and toasted and served with an herbed butter. The halibut as my entree was a small portion for the price but it was cooked wonderfully, crispy and well seasoned on the outside while flaky and juicy on the inside. For dessert I ordered the lemon ricotta cake with blueberries and whipped cream, plated beautifully, the cake was decadent.

I’m going to say, 3 1/2 stars. The food is stellar. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in Portland, hands down (sausage, red sauce, and mama li’ls), perfect crust. Excellent. The rotisserie chicken is an amazing dish. Beet salad was VERY GOOD. The service is pretty lackluster, and that is why I give 3 1/2, instead of 4. I do recommend this place, plus it’s a cool building.

Our daughter's rehearsal dinner was held upstairs at the Firehouse Restaurant last Friday evening. Everything was perfect! The food was wonderful, service great, and atmosphere was terrific! The upstairs room couldn't be better, and the set-up was logistically spot-on, with a separate room for the buffet and another separate area for the bar. Loved everything about it!

Love this place! Had the roasted carrots and bacon wrapped dates for appetizers and we shared a mushroom pizza (added sausage) for dinner. The pizza had a vinaigrette base that made it tangy and delicious. The wines were very nice. I recommend the Barbera. We finished the dinner off with Tiramisu. An all time favorite desert.

We had our reception here and the Firehouse restaurant crew went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. Our guests kept saying that it was the best wedding food they ever had and the place is so beautiful and has perfect ambient to get the party going. The salmon, ribeye, radicchio and beet salad, and olive cake were some of our best highlights! Highest kudos to Alec who managed the setting, helped us tailor the menu and drinks, and being very accommodating but also shared his expertise to make sure the reception is perfect. The staff and bar crew were so friendly and kind, hustling all night to take care of us. Highly recommended for wedding, reception, rehearsal dinner, or other special events!
