    We were greeted by a group of engaging and energetic group of managers and hostesses for the restaurant and shown to our table. Sarah was our server for the evening and she was knowledgable and engaging! She was super helpful with food selections and navigating the menu. Food was fantastic! The steaks and side were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing meal to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is beautiful and feels like a very nice but comfortable environment. Amazing transformation of the building! And a great addition to the Midlothian area! Stella was extremely personable and helpful with her suggestions. The steaks were excellent, as were the Buratta appetizer and all sides. Excellent meal - but a pricey one (as any classy steakhouse would be) Also enjoyed the special Cab Franc bottled for the restaurant - excellent pairing! We look forward to returning to celebrate another special occasion!

    Great food and service even on a busy Christmas-eve, we had 8:30pm reservations, was seated immediately even though the restaurant was full. My husband order a burger without cheese, it appeared they had added the cheese and realized the mistake, they removed it but left remnants of the cheese on the burger. We brought this to our waiter attention. They corrected it by preparing a fresh burger and the manager came over to our table to acknowledge the mistake, apologized and took the burger off our bill. That’s the reason we continually patronize this Firebirds! They have exceptional customer service! Thanks 😊

    A wonderful Christmas Eve Dinner with selections for each course gave the sense of an individually catered meal. All of our selections were excellent. Service was prompt but not hurried and the server was knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings.
