Firebirds provided excellent service, food selection, atmosphere, and waitress suggestions and recommendations were welcomed as we are from out of town Arizona visiting family.

Christmas Eve is always a tough time when planning a dinner out. I used Open Table and made the reservation early. I'm not sure if that gave us the best table in the house, but it happened! Our waitress (Jo) was over the top happy to be there. There was no rush or push. We ordered as we were ready, and had drinks as we were ready. While I noticed some people with their coats over their shoulders, the temperature was perfect for us in sports coat and party jacket/dress. We had both looked at the menu ahead of time, but when we heard and saw the specials, we quickly changed our minds. We were "warned" ahead of time that the Caesar salad is not conventional, that it has hard boiled eggs and bacon, and onions. We adjusted our orders to remove bacon and onions. It definitely wasn't a Caesar salad....wouldn't order that again...but, we both ate most of it. The shrimp/lobster pasta was perfect and more than enough to take a dish home. My husband thought the pork was excellent. It was a dinner we had planned and counted on to make our holiday special. It didn't disappoint!

Absolutely love the food and the people. Best Italian food in PA!

Our waitress Heather was awesome! Thank you for a great, quiet and entertaining experience! Happy Holidays!
