great for birthdays. a little late writing this review but we ate dinner for a friends birthday a couple of months ago - i had never been to firebirds. i admit i avoid the galleria and surrounding areas, im more of a southside/downtown girl. the restaurant was full and had a really good vibe to it. we were seated at a round table in the middle of the restaurant. we had cocktails to start - drink service was a little slow, then we moved to switch to wine - i brought in a bottle of silver oak as a birthday happy and was told i could not bring it in. after persistently asking our server to please check with the manager to make sure they didnt/did have a corkage fee/policy she finally did, and yes they do allow it! however she refused to decant it and wouldnt pour it until i had finished my bourbon. if i remember correctly i poured the wine for the table. this is my only complaint and is 100% a training issue. the rest of the dinner was fantastic - we all had something different - salmon, filet, strip, surf and turf, and i had the prime rib. everything was cooked perfectly including the delicious sides. we had birthday cake for dessert and shared with the staff - some even came to the table to say thank you, they gave our birthday guest a signed birthday card which was a nice touch - very impressive. overall it was anexcellentdinner.
