Formerly Engine Company 104 of the Chicago Fire Department, the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is applauded not only for honoring and preserving the original 1905 Romanesque Revival architectural design but for its unwavering commitment to the building’s purpose since its inception: service. A beloved cornerstone structure in the South Loop neighborhood for nearly 112 years, the bones of this “home” are a living narrative of a family of firefighters serving and protecting its community to a stately restaurant that honors and embraces this century-old mission. From Chicago firefighters and Chicago socialites who built homes in this neighborhood at the turn of the century to a Chicago family restaurateur, all who serve others in this establishment embrace the spirit of family and are dedicated to serving the community. The culture of the past continues to serve the present in this iconic landmark. As attentive as the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is to preserving the historical relevance of the structure, so too is it committed to the authenticity of a traditional steakhouse. Organic to its roots, the structure and menu are designed to reflect uniqueness, thoughtfulness, quality, and relevance. The quintessential steakhouse menu is exceptionally complimented by timeless house favorites and distinctive, contemporary seasonal dishes that pique the palate with unmatched savor and interest. Succulent steaks precisely finished with a tasteful hint of seasoning can also be garnished with a selection of sauces embellishing the natural flavors of the dish. Longstanding culinary excellence is exemplified by refined flavors, artfully trimmed plates with the freshest ingredients, and impeccable, gracious service. The past endures the present when time-honored, quality dishes revere ritual and innovation.
