- MMargaretPhoenix / Arizona •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything our group of 12 had was amazing. At least 5 people ordered the ribs and they were scrumptious. Firebirds even came by with warm wet towels to help clean sticky fingers from the sauce. I had the salmon which was prepared to perfection. Sides yummy too… we ordered onion rings and shrimp/lobster dip and tortilla chips which were a hit too. This is not a cheap eats restaurant, but we all left completely satisfied and well cared for!More infoFirebirds Wood Fired Grill - SurprisePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Surprise•4.5
- KKimVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoUsually, I give straight five stars, this time is the first time we’ve been a little disappointed. We got the chef’s recommendation The Sonoma chicken sandwich, which was quite delicious! It came with a small salad on the same plate which the dressing was pretty bland tasting.  Also had dessert “ milk, chocolate cremuex” , very tasty!More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Surprise, AZPrice: Moderate• American• Surprise•4.7

- NnancyNew York City •121 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis is one of our go-to venues when we winter in AZ. Every dish we’ve experienced has been delicious. Great lobster bisque, excellent Oysters Rockefeller and the lasagna is truly best in class. When you visit - be sure to ask for Jason. He’s - by far - a true professional who makes the dining experience even more exceptional. Highly recommend!!More infoVogue BistroPrice: Moderate• French• Surprise•4.6
- OOlaSan Diego •6 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe were greeted and welcomed at the door. We were asked a couple of questions about our full party and although everyone was not present, we were taken to seating that was absolutely perfect for our group. And then came Angelique. She gave us pertinent information and checked in with our party regularly. Among us, we had personal deep dish and extra cheese thin crust. It took the 30 minutes we were originally told by Angelique. It was delicious and hot and a wonderful experience for all!  More infoLou Malnati’s - SurprisePrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Surprise•4.5
