The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is just what it’s name implies – it’s the home of Engine Company 104, built in 1905 and restored to accommodate diners looking for a traditional American meal.  Decked out with leather booths and club chairs, the place maintains its charm due to the fact that the tin ceiling and fire poles are still intact.  As a great location for a romantic meal, the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant offers a variety of food, from traditional options like French onion soup with Gruyere cheese, a juicy burger in fine American tradition, or slow-cooke pot roast (a great down-home, southern favorite), to more exciting dishes such as rainbow trout or mahi mahi.  One favorite is the roasted Firehouse chicken with potatoes au gratin.  For dessert, try the pecan pie, crepes, or chocolate chip-banana bread pudding.

With a family friendly environment, go anytime, but the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is a favorite dining spot before or after a Sox game.

The wine cellar at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is lined with wine cabinets and furnished with a handcrafted wood table, can accommodate group dining for up to sixteen, and other areas can be reserved for groups up to 250.  Be prepared with a fat wallet; the menu is a bit pricey, but the cuisine is worth it.
