It was tasty, but I prefer the BLT.\n\nFirebirds 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. \n\nFor 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. \n\nGraham 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.\n\nEverything I've ever had here is very good, the service is always good and I've always had a good dining experience."^^ . "0"^^ .
