Cool mountain air. A crackling wood fire. The sizzle of the grill. And the spark of great conversation. Those aren't just the ingredients for a great meal. They're the soul of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant dedicated to the world's oldest method of cooking - and the most satisfying. Inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West, the first Firebirds called itself a "Rocky Mountain Grill." But not so long afterward, the restaurant changed its name to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. Because at its core, what makes Firebirds' scratch cooking so delicious - and inspires everything from the menu to its hospitality and décor - isn't a place. It's the fire itself. Firebirds has come a long way since the early days. Not only is the menu broader, the ambiance more polished and the value greater than ever, today Firebirds Wood Fired Grill serves guests across the country. But some things never change - like Firebirds' commitment to quality and freshness and its passion for introducing guests to the primal pleasure of meats, seafood and vegetables grilled over a blazing wood fire. From Firebirds' locally sourced hardwoods to its unique cooking techniques, everything Firebirds does honors the power of the flame. Because wood fired grilling brings people together. And its bold flavors set Firebirds apart.

Fin & Fino never disappoints. It starts at the reception stand. We were, as usual, warmly greeted and having noted there was a birthday, the hostess wished me a Happy Birthday. Our server, Alex, greeted us with a welcoming smile and another Happy Birthday. She thanked us for our continued patronage as she explained the off menu offerings. We could not have been happier with our food selections, oysters to start, followed by lobster bisque for me. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Halibut, and since it was my birthday, I enjoyed the surf and turf, filet and lobster tail. Alex was great throughout and ever so positive. As we left, the hostess once again wished me a Happy Birthday. It was a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday.

This is my third time eating here and I've enjoyed it every time. The food is great. Service was good, not necessarily great, but really good. The waitstaff seems to help each other out with clearing empty plates, which is nice. Will definitely be back.

The Port City is one of my new faves! I just love the Orange Julius and Lobster dumplings though only four at $5 each is bit much since I would love them as a meal!!!! The Chili Crusted Seared Tuna is amazing!!! Hope to make it a monthly stop.
