Firehouse No.1 Gastropub: Your Premier Destination for American Dining in San Jose

We were able to dine in now that 25 percent is allowed. We were the only one in the restaurant. Everyone was in the patio. We had to fill out a form for the city of San Jose. The service was good. The food was only above average for us. We had the calamari for appetizer. The batter was good but the calamari was a little chewy. We're calamari aficionados so our standard is a little high. I had the pork chop. It was juicy enough, but a little on the bland side. It was also a little small. The wife had the steak. Again it was juicy but a little bland. So it was an above average dining experience.

Had the house special skirt steak with rosemary pesto mash potatoes and grilled vegetables. Super delicious 100% going back. Rahg our server was great and got us everything we needed including blackberry sours and other drinks.

Great food and drinks with excellent service! We got here early and they filled up fast. Highly recommend the calamari. It was perfectly prepared!

Good food, good atmosphere, great service Havent tried the cocktail menu but the wine selections is good and the food options are good Stake was cooke med rare! As requested and flavorful

The service at the bar was great, as was my old fashioned. My food was alright, nothing to rave about. But the inside of this place is very chill and cozy. I’d come back just because of the ambience.

The area where this restaurant is located can be very busy, especially during Fri and weekends, so plan accordingly. There is a parking garage nearby which is very convenient. The night we went for dinner was quiet so we were able to get a table right away. Our server was very courteous and helpful since it was our first time there. They have a good selection of beer and cocktails. The four we ordered were great. Appetizers were very generous in portion: calamari and the French fries. Both came out fresh and crispy with loads of flavor. Our main entrees were surf and turf (6oz sirloin and grilled halibut) and NY strip steak. Again, both came out perfectly and we're delicious. Overall a great place for drinks and meal with friends or date.

Good service. But my shrimp carbonara came out too salty. The mixed drinks were delish. The total came out a bit pricey for the quality of the food.

I was here working for a week and was eating fast food and my body was highly upset about the whole food situation. On our last day in town I found this place with great reviews. Bartender was great and answered all our questions, I finally went with the pork chop. It was easily hands down, the best pork chop I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Add a old fashioned and I was in a great place to be. Absolutely . Will definitely return to give the 5 Starz this place deserves. Do yourself a favor and just go!
