    The entire experience was amazing. We dined early and practically had the entire place to ourselves. The staff was so attentive and really made our anniversary dinner all the more special with the 'over the top' touch's they provided.

    We had a lovely experience at Firebirds! We requested a booth on Open Table and, sure enough we got one. We were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary and are so happy we chose Firebirds to do so. Our meals were delicious, our waiter and support service was excellent and cocktails well crafted!

    Fantastic experience. We celebrated my dad’s birthday and were seated at one of their best table locations. Matthew, our server, was very knowledgeable, personable, attentive and fun. He brought out each steak cut and made some perfect recommendations. Off we didn’t like something, he fixed it immediately. We felt like we were his only responsibility. Wagyu was on point as were the elk, lamb and seafood. Try the holiday menu!!!

    I put in a special request to have a drink ready for my girlfriend at the table. Birthday celebration so wanted to make it a little more special. Didn’t even get the drink at all. Don’t ask for special requests if they aren’t going to do them.
