Deviled eggs sound dull, but they have perfected the presentation and the taste, with a streak of yummy red sauce & at a serving of 6, you have some to take home in their cool take out box. I didn't know they serve the full menu at brunch along with special brunch offerings, but tried the steak & egg bowl with the tenderloin rare as I asked. A horseradish sauce really complements the flavors of the eggs, blistered tomatoes, potatoes and peppers with the steak. They served it with whole button mushrooms that were amazing! A home run. My husband is not a foodie, so when he ordered the smothered tenderloin burrito with a whiff of rosemary in the sauce probably, it became mine! The server Brie was awesome, and the Manager came over to intro herself & check on us. We've been to two Firebirds, and I love them both. This is what a professional restaurant feels like, never disappointing.

This was only our 2nd time here and our 1st actually dining, as our 1st visit was cut short due to an evacuation. The place was packed, delaying seating for those with reservations by about 20 mins. Once seated, our server was quick to greet us and get our drink orders, followed by starters, and some samples of various wines. Our entrees were quite delicious, and the portions were not excessive, nor did they leave us hungry. The noise level was vibrant but not to a level that we couldn't hear our own conversation while speaking in a normal tone. The prices were about where we expected for the quality of food. I definitely the PBJ Old Fashion which comes with a sweet red wine back to complete the flavor concept. Amazing! Overall, our server was very attentive, personable, and knowledgeable of the menu. Ambiance was warm, vibrant, and inviting. We did join the wine club to give it a try and look forward to returning to indulge in other menu items that caught our eye. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

While this pizza does not look like the malnatis pizza we remember when we lived in Chicago - it tasted just as delicious! I am now a fan of “not such thick” crust! Our waitress was adorable and service was fast and good!!

If you want a quiet, classy dining experience that is a little unique with exceptional food and service, try it. The wait staff are professionals. Several of them have been there literally from the beginning. We are regulars my favorite meatloaf next to mom's.

Celebrating an anniversary, we enjoyed a delicious meal, service was impeccable and vibe was spot on. We started with the lobster bisque and the French onion soup. Both were plentiful and very tasty. French onion soup was cheesy and full of onions and perfectly seasoned broth. The bisque was rich, creamy and full of flavor. The lobster was presented in a large bowl and the soup poured over. Our entrees were the filet mignonette and lobster tail and the prime ribeye. We chose the asparagus and Brussel sprouts as our sides. Both meats were cooked to perfection and flavorful, like butter. Just the right size. The lobster was also cooked to perfection, my personal favorite. The vegetables were well cooked. I preferred the asparagus over the Brussel sprouts. It really isn’t Brussel sprout season, so I will try again when they are inseason. We shared cream brûlée and coffee to finish this memorable meal. We taken to a very comfortable booth decorated with personal menus to take home. As we waited for cocktails our picture was taken and framed for us to take home. Morton’s even comp our desert. Our server Cindy was amazing. We never ask for a thing. She knew, appreciative of her experience. Cindy made us feel welcomed and valued. Amazing service. The Morton’s full service experience! The restaurant is beautiful and has a beautiful view. The lighting was well designed. Most Morton’s are dark and intimate, which we love. Hostess was friendly and accommodating. We arrive 30 minutes early. We greatly appreciated the accommodation. Throughout our experience management checked in to be sure we were enjoying our meal. Not intruding at all. This is what fine dining is all about. Looking forward to our next visit.
