			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.firehousepdx.com/Firehouse_Restaurant_photos_files/FH_LOGO_2.png"><img class="alignleft" title="Firehouse Restaurant NE Portland" src="http://www.firehousepdx.com/Firehouse_Restaurant_photos_files/FH_LOGO_2.png" alt="" width="114" height="161" /></a> Dylan and I had been to this restaurant before, as it&#8217;s within walking distance to our house, but Sunday night we had returned home from a weekend at the beach and neither of us wanted to cook. We wandered down to <a href="http://www.firehousepdx.com" target="_blank">Firehouse</a> and indulged ourselves.</p>
<p>They have a new cocktail menu as of a few weeks ago, so Dylan ordered an Old Fashioned due to his Mad Men obsession and I tried&#8230;dang it, I&#8217;m not going to remember what it was called. Anyway, both drinks were a little different then we expected but not bad. I really wasn&#8217;t a fan of my drink but that had a lot more to do with my ability to order things that I&#8217;m going to like than the restaurant making  a bad drink.</p>
<p>We started dinner off with the Bruscetta which was fantastic! I haven&#8217;t been able to get enough of tomatoes this summer, and this appetizer was covered with them! And cheese. And olive oil. It was a great summer snack, and it&#8217;s probably good I didn&#8217;t know about this earlier.</p>
<p>I ordered gnocchi for dinner which was simple, included a big glob of ricotta cheese in the middle and was topped with more tomatoes. Dylan had the hanger steak, which I had had before and we both agree is one of the tastiest things that is consistently on the menu. Dylan order a glass of wine to go along the steak which was quite tasty.</p>
<p>Throughout our meal we had great service and a chance to talk with both owners as we left. This is a a cozy neighborhood restaurant that leans towards the upscale side, while still being very reasonable (the steak was $16). They do specialize in their pizza&#8217;s which I have yet to try. They&#8217;re all cooked in a big wood oven, and looked really tasty. So did the desserts. This is a tucked away little restaurant that is definitely worth finding!</p>
