I chose Firebirds for a surprise birthday dinner for my partner and I. Neither of us had been there, but I thought it would be perfect because of the rave reviews. First, I had called and reserved a table. I also let them know that its a birthday and she told me they provided a birthday dessert. Come to find out, that birthday dessert was put on our bill and I wasn't about to dispute the charge in front of the birthday person either, so I just paid it. The food was ok, my pasta was good but definitely not worth $18. My partner ordered the prime rib. After waiting 45 minutes, our beers long empty we finally asked and the waitress walked right over to the food area and returned with our food within a minute, so I assume the food sat there for some time. His $25 prime rib was cold and loaded potato looked like it had sat out all night. I was less than impressed with a pricey meal looking the way it did. The waitress is really what did us in. She kept coughing while talking to us. Then she would disappear until we could track someone else down. If this wouldn't have been an $82 dollar meal, we wouldn't have minded so much. But when you pay that kind of money for TWO people, you expect good service and good food. Maybe it was an off night for them. Either way, I don't think we will go back and risk another $82 on mediocre food and service.
