| - I'm not a fan of chain restaurants, but I LOVE Firebirds. I changed it up a little bit and started with a house salad instead of the BLT salad. It was tasty, but I prefer the BLT.
Firebirds is the one place where I always, ALWAYS order a drink. And it's usually the same drink: the black diamond martini. It's a pineapple martini and is made by soaking wedges of fresh pineapple in vodka for like 7 days. This is my favorite drink of all time.
For my entree I went with my all time favorite: the wood grilled salmon, Parmesan mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The salmon is so delicious. It was a huge, thick piece of salmon with absolutely fantastic flavor.
Graham had one of their specials, a Santa Fe style pasta. It had shrimp, chorizo and scallops in a chardonnay cream sauce. This was exceptional. Chain restaurants usually have tiny, sad little scallops. These were huge, and perfectly cooked. I'm a sucker for the dish I ordered, but this was as good as mine.
Everything I've ever had here is very good, the service is always good and I've always had a good dining experience.
