firebird's is fine. good even. food is good, service is good, atmosphere is good. we visited because we've never been and it is less than 10 minutes from our house. there is absolutely nothing wrong with this place. but for me, there is not much difference between this place and an outback. which is not a knock - i like outback just fine! but at outback we can get out of there with a similar dinner for a much lower price. i am more than happy to splurge on a nice dinner, but for the price of our ticket we could have easily gone to one of the better, local restaurants and had something really spectacular instead of the good, but typical, food we had at firebirds.
