Named after the restored turn-of-the century firehouse the restaurant calls home, this space serves upscale food, features an extensive American wine list and offers both a casual and more formal dining room. Appetizers include a trio of lump crab cakes, fried calamari and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees include blue cheese-crusted rib-eye and a mango and chili barbecued pork chop. Lunch is on the lighter side, with salads, burgers and sandwiches. Smaller versions of dinner favorites are also available.
