    Had a 1:30pm reservation. Ordered a glass of wine, salmon on my “55 salad “ and it was $40.00!! The salmon was dry (overcooked). I have been going to POLAIS GRILL for years and have been very satisfied, but this experience was not great. Will need to reconsider coming back again

    We had a lovely experience at Firebirds! We requested a booth on Open Table and, sure enough we got one. We were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary and are so happy we chose Firebirds to do so. Our meals were delicious, our waiter and support service was excellent and cocktails well crafted!

    Our waitress Jackie is always great (we had her in the past.) She is excellent and always has a big smile & fast service. The food was hot and fast. Appetizer (fried pickles) so good. I had a croc of French onion soup (delicious.) My wife and I both got stroganoff which was so meaty and comforting. It’s a family favorite and I love the Bucket Punch.

    Fantastic experience. We celebrated my dad’s birthday and were seated at one of their best table locations. Matthew, our server, was very knowledgeable, personable, attentive and fun. He brought out each steak cut and made some perfect recommendations. Off we didn’t like something, he fixed it immediately. We felt like we were his only responsibility. Wagyu was on point as were the elk, lamb and seafood. Try the holiday menu!!!
