    My wife and I stopped by for a quick dinner on our way to watch our granddaughter play soccer at Grand Park. What a great decision! I ordered the Cilantro-Grilled Chicken—the smoked tomato jack cheese sauce was awesome. My choice of side, was your Port Mushrooms. You delivered a "Wow" moment, I seldom get when dining out. Thank you.

    Service very slow. Server rarely came by to see how we were doing. Waited 20 minutes for our first glass of wine. Had to move to another outdoor table when the sun beat down on our table and the manager said the shades were broken and did not offer to move us. Near the end of our meal, there was a strong sewer smell near our table.

    We were able to be seated a little early for our reservation and enjoyed drinks before dinner. We loved our cocktails, wine and deviled eggs. We went to celebrate our Grandson’s graduation from Kindergarten and he loved the fish and broccoli. Our server was attentive. The ambiance was just OK, I would recommend for a group gathering or casual date night.

    I love their grilled salmon and can't seem to get myself to try much else on the menu. It's consistently yummy. I've probably eaten there 20+ times and I've always had good meals, as have the people who Service is good, and I definitely recommend making reservations. It's one of those restaurants with a high ceiling so it gets loud. Bring your hearing aids. :-)

    We were seated and waited 15 minutes before we stopped someone to see if we had a server...when one came and took our drink order it took another 15 minutes or so to get drinks..server was not very attentive..getting our food was very long. Very disappointed with everything and it was our first time having dinner there!! Hopefully it was just a bad night for the servers and the kitchen staff...

    Average food and circuses. Waiter did his best accommodating our large party of 14 women with lots of special requests. There should have been additional help but he was flying solo…lots of errors by the cooking staff. We had fun time, something missing at this place…ah yes, better management.

    Was there with a friend having dinner and we ordered tuna as an appetizer and then had the red snapper for dinner. After waiting about 20 minutes for the appetizer, which is kind of weird since it was tuna not even five minutes later, dinner was on the table, so good thing tuna can be eaten cold because if I really want to enjoy the tuna!! I couldn’t since my dinner sitting there getting cold

    Bobby was possibly the best waiter we have ever had! Perfect timing, great recommendations, and impeccable service. Firebirds Chicken Pasta, fish tacos, filet mignon, garlic butter sirloin and the spicy au gratin potatoes. And you have to try the lemonade! The meal wouldn’t be perfect without the BLT salad or the famous chicken tortilla soup! A perfect dining experience!

    Made reservations cause they were available at 9pm. We were quickly asked to order due to kitchen being backed up. Ordered the lobster queso and sent it back ASAP. It was cold and watery like it had sat all day SMH! The ribs were ok, my southwest potatoes were burnt and barely edible. My boyfriend had cold chicken in his pasta. Our server was great and it’s not her fault our food was bad. I wouldn’t recommend or return to this restaurant.

    Let me preface this review by saying I understand that mother's Day weekend is a very busy weekend which is why I made reservations. My reservation was for Saturday May 14th at 7:30 p.m. we arrived at approximately 7:21 and was told that the dining room was backed up and that it may be a 15-minute wait or we could eat at the bar. I declined to sit at the bar and said we would wait which seemed to annoy the host and she said it would then be a 30-minute wait. I said that was fine and she told me that they would text me when our table was ready and even read off my phone number. The inside waiting was very packed and nowhere to sit so we went back out to our car and sat to wait for a text message. That text message never came and around 8:10 pm I went back inside to see about our reservation at which time I was told we were marked as a no-show.. I explained that we have been waiting and was told we would get a text message which we never got. They claim they called our names but there was nowhere to sit in the waiting area so I'm unsure what they expected us to do but nonetheless we were waiting for a text message that never came. We were finally seated and did not order appetizers. My husband ordered the 7 oz filet mignon and requested it to be butterflied and medium WELL. I ordered the ribeye and also requested medium well. At the time we placed our orders I also ordered a cocktail. The bread that was brought to our table was lukewarm at best. 15 minutes after ordering my drink finally appears and we were told that the kitchen was backed up. We finally get our meal over 30 minutes after our order and it was close to 10:00 p.m. my husband's steak was not butterflied and was really pink in the inside and mine was really dry and overcooked. The drink was not good and I don't believe there was any alcohol in it at all. I've tried repeatedly calling them today to express my concerns and no one is answering their phones. What a way to spend my mother's day 😒

    It was Mother’s Day and they were slammed running about 50mins behind reservations…I get it. Over 45min to get appetizers which were cold and another 10mins for flatware to be brought to the table. Main dishes came out some time thereafter…same story. NY Strip was tough as nails. I blame this on mgt. takeout orders where overwhelming the kitchen staff. With a packed house and a flood of takeout there was no way they could be successful.

    The food was satisfactory. One of the steaks were well done when asked to be medium. The Colorado chicken salad seemed like it was made other day old salad. Everything was just ok. Waitress was nice but not concerned with our experience.

    The web site and Open table search it came up as a place for “ Brunch”. They even had a sign outside, but it was not offered, only if you “ requested” that menu. We overheard the hosting staff talking that you do “ NOT” give out that menu, only if “ asked for it! I don’t understand why? The baked French toast was good, but I felt like I was putting them out, after over hearing that, like they REALLY did NOT want anyone ordering from that menu. As a company they need to decide to or not. Take down your advertising if you do not want to . That IS the reason we drove over to that area on Mother’s Day. My husband had the hot chicken sandwich and said it was excellent .

    We went for Mothers Day brunch and understood Firebirds has a regular brunch. It seemed as if brunch was new to them. We arrived for 10:15 reservation and received the lunch/dinner menus, recd brunch menus when asked and it seemed neighboring tables also only received brunch menus on request. Coffee was out, then cold when received. Melas were also cold when received. “Brioche” sandwiches were on white bread. Not the most horrible thjngs in the world, but seemed like unprepared for brunch service.
