I first visited The Chiltern Firehouse with a work colleague from Australia. She’d read so much about the restaurant and couldn’t wait to visit - we both had a super evening. OK, we over-ordered, but we loved it. I knew I would return, so, what a lovely surprise when my CEO bought me a voucher – my husband and I couldn’t wait to go – my husband having been a London Fireman for 30+ years! We jumped off at Bond Street Station, meandered through the streets, and found ourselves outside the Chiltern Firehouse. I’d truly forgotten what an iconic building the restaurant is housed in - absolutely beautiful. The outside seating area wasn’t too busy at 5.45pm, but by the time we left, it was packed. Such a pretty area – alight by heaters, blankets supplied – loved it. Not too many people eating outside, mainly drinking, but everyone looking very happy indeed! The doormen who greeted us were charming, as were the front of house staff. Before we knew it, we were seated in the main restaurant, but with my husband just having had a knee op, the seating was a little too tight, so we asked if we could be moved. We were ushered up to the older area of the restaurant – not as fancy as the main restaurant, but we were more than happy. This area still has the original wall tiling of the old fire station, and is basically opposite the open kitchen. We watched the chefs have their debrief and then the action began – it was great to watch – made a nice change. The music wasn’t too loud, the restaurant feels fun and vibrant, knew we were going to have a nice time. It was a pleasure to meet the Sommelier; Beatrice Bessi. We’ve all met many a Sommelier, but I’d never met a lady Sommelier. Have a read up on her – quite the career! Really enjoyed her advice and chatting to her. She wasn’t pushy in any way – a real pleasure. The restaurant started to get very busy and walk-ins sat up, at the open kitchens, on bar stools. Quite obviously regulars too! For starters I chose the Steak Tartare – everything was already mixed in and prepared, and it was delicious – quite spicy! My husband opted for the Octopus. It was cooked to perfection, and absolutely superb. Mains were rib eye, and halibut (from the ‘daily specials’). My husband’s rib eye came as it said – with a peppercorn sauce – nothing too fancy! My piece of Halibut was massive and probably one of the best pieces of Halibut I have ever tasted. It sat on a bed of roasted celeriac and accompanied by baby spinach, I really didn’t need to order any chips! It was so scrumptious! When reading these reviews and people talking about the restaurant, this isn’t a pompous-looking restaurant – no white linen, perfectly ironing, tablecloths and no perfectly formed carrots or micro veg! Where we sat, we had basic wooden chairs – no fancy velour chairs, but I knew what we were in for – as I say, I’d been before. They do have wooden booths, which are great fun, but I would imagine you would have to request these far in advance. For pudding, we shared a Baked Alaska. We’d eaten so much, we didn’t really need it but, of course, we polished off every spoonful, and it was divine! So, overall, if you are looking for a restaurant with décor to match The Ritz, this isn’t the restaurant for you. If you are looking for chefy-arranged food with blobs of sauces and dots of different coloured purees, this isn’t the restaurant for you. The Chiltern Firehouse is a restaurant that has a great buzz, super staff, low music, a fabulous atmosphere and, for us, the food was just perfect. OK, this isn't a cheap restaurant, but you only need to look at the menu on-line to get an idea. It's somewhere special, which you will never forget. Just make sure to have a little look around, before you miss such wonderful features. Again, such an iconic building! Thank you so much to all the staff. I can’t quite believe some of the bad reviews. I just wish more people would place a review when they’ve had a super time! Can’t wait to re-visit. Maybe next time, in the summer, so we can sit outside before, or after dins, and not have to have a heater – I’m too much of a wimp for the cold! Thanks, again.
