After driving by this place many times, we finally were referred to it by our mechanic who suggested we eat there while he repaired our car. We had no idea what to expect and were surprised by the sophisticated decor and the very tasty food. Unlike some of the other reviewers, we had excellent service and were well looked after,... More

They have a wide selection of scrumptious fusion sushi rolls and some of the dinner items are quite good as well. Most of the things I've ordered here pack a lot of flavour. Some of the rolls are pretty expensive, but the portions ate generous.

The serving portions are huge. You would never be left hungry. The sushi and sushi combos are wonderful. Hard to decide what to order. They have a really nice dessert sampler for a treat. The resaurant is eclectic and a novel place to share a meal.

We waited 1.5 hours for our food...waitress was not apologetic although she bought one of us a drink and an appy. It didn't make up for it. The place was parked and there was one or two large groups there for birthday parties but still. She blamed it on the sushi chefs and said they were backed up. Once the... More

We ended up here early one evening and were able to get a table even though it was busy. Always a good sign. The range of items was impressive and the food looked delicious. We had the crab dip which was very good. The fetticini was perfect a WA the other dishes at our table. Service was friendly and the... More

I used to live across the street and having the Firehouse Grill so close was the easiest way to impress my friends all around the world. It is fantastic. The atmosphere is Brooklyn, the food inventive, and that atmosphere the best of the West Coast. Kudos to Nanaimo for having a place like this, and congratulations to the people of... More

My husband and I went there for lunch earlier this week. We had the chefs special, which, while it was delicious, took almost an hour to get. At least 20 minutes after we had ordered, another table sat down, ate, and paid before we finished our meal. While I don't mind waiting for good food, the waitress didn't come back... More

We tried this restaurant finally, after driving by several times! We went for lunch and immediately was impressed by the welcoming staff. It was bright, and clean, and staff very friendly. The blackened salmon was amazing along with the caesar salad, full of flavour! We were totally impressed and highly recommend. We will return for dinner! Must try!

I should know better than to expect to have a delicious meal at a place that is getting such high marks :( My tastes must be very unusual as I did not enjoy the food, found the place pricey and the staff are there for their own social pleasure. Give this place a second chance to waste my money -... More
