   Our server, Cody, was right on top of things...efficient, very courteous and attentive. Our dinner was delicious. Kudos to Firebirds for always honoring those who served.

   Always appreciate the special Veterans events at Firebirds. Last night was no exception. My son and granddaughter accompanied me on Memorial Day. Ahi tuna appetizer, aged ribeye and filet we shared was great. But best part of the experience was our server. I wish I could remember his name. He was outstanding. Went the extra mile making the evening perfect.

   We have eaten here many times with no problems. This time however we were seated at a dirty table, and it was only 11:30 am. First I noticed when she removed the extra bread plates that it was white under them and there were other streaks of white. I asked her to wipe the table and they were just heat marks, but while she was doing that I noticed flakes at my end of the table. I thought they were just stains too but when I flicked one it was a crumb and there were a lot of them. They did move us to a different table when I asked. If it wasn't Memorial Day and my husband wasn't getting a free meal I would have left. The food was wonderful.

   Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was good overall. The service was slow, and our waiter constantly was forgetting things. We believed he was new, so we tried not to fault him too much. Overall an ok experience.

   Seafood is not a strength of Firebirds. Other foods - ribs, chicken, steak are delicious.

    I had the Ranch Rings which I fell well very over priced and over breaded. More breading than onion. I also had a Colorado Salad. The salad was good except the chicken was very dry and hard to chew. For the price I would expect more. Our server was excellent. He was polite, engaging, understanding and patient. All employees were very good I did enjoy the meal. These are just things I feel could be improved.

    I dined at Firebird's with two former coworkers, and we were all impressed. The drinks and food were good, and reasonably priced. The menu has enough options to suit anyone. The service was amazing! Not only were we well treated at the restaurant, but after I got home and realized I'd left my prescription sunglasses, one of the managers promptly mailed the glasses to me! That kind of above and beyond service from the management speaks volumes about the customer focused culture of that restaurant. Five stars!

    Me and my husband came here for our anniversary really couldn’t get any reservations anywhere else in the bread that was served us was decent. If you cut in the middle on the outer edges, I could hammer a nail on the wall with it. I had the 16 ounce aged ribeye, medium honestly it doesn’t taste as if it was seasoned or aged. It honestly tasted as if they pulled it out the fridge threw some seasoning on it throw it on the grill. The value for what you pay and the quality of food is just not there personally if I’m gonna spend close to $100 I would’ve went somewhere else we came here before and it was pretty good today was just not that great.

    We always love the food and drinks but enjoy the talented and friendly waitstaff even more. Mom is 93 and we love to take her out when we come to visit and this was a wonderful Mother's Day experience. And mom's longtime waiter from over the years made a special effort to come by to greet her. Our waiter Aron was a delightful young man who shared his past present and future plans with us and we enjoyed getting to know him a bit in addition to the wonderful service he provided. We look forward to many future visits!

    We had a 4:45 reservation. We did not get our food until 6pm. There were people that came in the restaurant a half hour after us and they were getting their food. When we finally got our order it was all screwed up and my husband never got the coke he ordered. The waiter kept apologizing and then the manager came over and he apologized and comped our meals for our inconvenience. It did not make for a nice Mother’s Day. The only thing that was good was the food was delicious.

    Everything was fine for the most part. Only thing was, my friend had to send her steak back twice to have it cooked to her specification. The manager was gracious and took it off our bill; other than that everything was fine, food was great.

    We've always enjoyed dining at Firebirds. Mother's Day was no exception. We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated. Food was great! Quinlann did a great job of taking care of our needs, making sure we never waited longer than we had to for anything. She was also personable, not stiff or uncaring. We will go back! Come join us!

    Overall good experience despite it being a busy, college graduation weekend. Our server was pleasant, patient with us, and professional. Drinks came out a bit slow, but the food service was timely. Wish server would have brought out two (small) loaves of bread and extra butter for our party of 6 adults without us having to ask, but all else went well. Group ordered steaks, salmon, hamburger and ribs. Portions more than ample and all enjoyed. Prices for both food and drink were a bit high. You can find similar quality and service elsewhere for less dollars, but their location within a busy mall complex likely drives up their costs.

    As this was Mothers Day, it didn’t seem the organization was ready to open. Tables were sticky and I would suggest a better cleaning solution. We’ve never experienced that before! Outside of that, Krissy who waited on us was great and the meal was fine!

    Had a reservation for 1215, was seated ay 1219. Not one person came to our table until we asked at 1251. Apparently a mix up at the host stand. The restaurant KNOWS this is college graduation and mothers day weekend, we were comped one desert for the table. No mgt came. My daughters meat on her salad was very undercooked to order. My husband got a 3” sliver of salmon when tables around us got twice as much! I can’t justify returning, too many options in the area…

    Had a reservation for a birthday dinner and was told we had to wait almost 10 minutes to be seated while there were empty tables available. We were given 2 menus for a table of 4 while our server went to find additional menus. Service was extremely slow. We had to ask for drink refills. Was told the coffee had just been brewed, but it was definitely old. Steaks were cooked perfectly, but the Bruschetta chicken pasta was overpowered by vinegar. Having to walk around and through the bar to get to the restrooms is a little inconvenient. Waitstaff needs to be more diligent and careful when carrying trays. Knives should not be sticking out where they can impale someone as you walk by. Overall not impressed for the amount we spent.

    Unfortunately, we did not know it was going to be prom night, when we made reservations to meet old friends for dinner. It made for a very loud, noisy experience. Despite the rush of diners, Louis & the kitchen handled it with aplomb. Very efficient. Great meals.

    Can it get any better than Firebirds? We never have anything other than a wonderful experience when we choose this restaurant. This particular meal was no different and perhaps even better than our usual experiences! We had a fantastic server, Larry, who treated me and my sister like old friends. He was attentive, respectful, warm, and so kind. We never went without what we needed, drinks were refilled quickly, and Larry made great conversation with us throughout our visit. We appreciated his recommendations and professionalism, but also his friendly disposition. What a treasure he is to the team! We also want to give praise to the bartender, whose name we unfortunately did not catch. She was wonderful, too, and made my sister an exceptional "Lemonade Drop." Thank you all for a great dinner!

    We had not been to Firebirds in some time. Caroline was our server and she was delightful. Everything was wonderful. My friend has the prime rib, my mother the rib eye and I had the wood-grilled salmon. The have a nice selection of spirits and beverages, including some Mocktails for us designated drivers. All of the dishes were tasty and cooked to perfection. We would definitely go there again.

    Service was quick. Entree was out before I finished my salad. Server was the best. When she saw I had a birthday coupon, she offered me a free desert which they made to go. The desert was large enough that I had it for 2 nights, so would have been enough for a couple to split.

    Salad was very grainy like it hadn’t been washed. Super loud as there was a large rowdy group nearby. This was my first visit to Firebirds and I don’t think I would visit again. $22.50 for a salmon Caesar salad that I could only Eat the salmon
