    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

    My new favorite place to go out. This is a full restaurant now, used to be more snacks and cheese boards. Good variety on the menu, our party had popcorn with our drinks, squash soup (so good we all shared), salads, shrimp & risotto, salmon, cheese tortellini, and a beef dish. All were good (not foodie level, but solid). They also have pizzas and sandwiches for a more casual meal. Comfy chairs, tables spaced apart so you can hear each other talk. Server was friendly, thorough, available. Great list of beers and cocktails, along with wine flights. I do wish they’d change up the wine flights, for about 2 years they’ve been the same 4 options, the fun part about a flight is trying new things. Decor was really well done, even in the restrooms. Overall, would come back here for date nights, pre-show nights, To meet another couple, to bring my kids. Versatile, comfortable, and a menu for everybody. ❤️

    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!

    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!!!
