    We were seated outside during Valentine’s Day, and there were plenty of floor and hanging from ceiling heaters to help make it comfortable. They had black screens on the outside of the porch to help make it feel like you weren’t sitting near a parking lot. The food was delicious and there was no question. I will be going back for sure. My only stent, was that it did take a lot time for our server to get back around to us, but in their defense, it was Valentine’s Day and amazingly busy.

    Roosters is consistently great. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is cozy, and the menu has something for everyone. With quality wine & unique cocktails, the bar area has a cool view of the kitchen & a laid back vibe. They offer outstanding sides; the potatoes au gratin are a must, but you should pick several options to share with the table! The salads are always fresh & dressed to perfection. I personally think they serve the best scallops in Charlotte, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Lively atmosphere a little hard to hear the server explain the menu, however, the service did not delay. Bartender went above and beyond walked around the bar to hand us our drinks as to not reach over the people were sitting in front of us. Everything we ate was amazing. Definitely will be returning!

    We had one of the most wonderful dinner experiences last night celebrating our granddaughters birth. The staff could not have been more attentive. The Regional Director Michael came by and talked to us to check on us and upon learning we just had a grand baby shared his happiness for us. We ordered take out meals for our daughter and son in law and every staff member signed a beautiful congratulations card to them and included it in their order. So sweet and thoughtful. Our three course prime rib dinner was delicious. Every course provided a larger portion than expected and with perfect cooked prime rib and sides. This company cares how you are treated and want you to feel good about dining at their restaurants. They exceeded all our expectations and it was Valentine’s Day as well. At least four team members checked on us and other diners throughout our dinner. Well done South Park Firebirds Team! We will be back every time we visit our new grand baby. Thank you Michael and Firebirds Staff. Sincerely, John and Annette H.
