I Love This Place. Took my girlfriend to Firebird Restaurant for lunch. The food, wine and service were excellent. The restaurant is made to look like a palace which was pretty co...

Superb Atmosphere! 12/3/2004

We celebrated our parents' 50th anniversary at FireBird and the food, service and ambiance lived up to the occasion. more

Disappointed 10/11/2004

We went to Firebird on a company function (pre-theater)and we were excited to try it. Upon arrival we were impressed by the decor and character of the beatiful building. Drinks were great, but service was slow and food very disappointing. Had we been able to choose from the regular menu, it may have been better, but overall the food was pretty bad and service mediocre. I think Firebird has fell victim to its own success and is need of some revamping. Pros: architecture, restaurant row Cons: , service more

Great place for special occasion 7/14/2004

I have only been to Firebird once and would definitely go back but only for a special occasion. The place is absolutely gorgeous with all of the Russian antiques and the service was great. The food was very good (not spectacular) but slightly overpriced for what you are given. I guess it is a RR place so the prices are to be expected but all in all, it was a very enjoyable experience. It was a bit too quiet for my taste but that is just me. You MUST try a flute of the honey vodka. Words just cannot describe..... Pros: Ambience, Food, Honey vodka Cons: , Ultra-quiet more

Mostly Good 2/28/2004

We had the tasting with the wine pairing and the first five courses were very good, especially the blini (pancakes with creme fraiche and caviar). The wine selections were very well matched to the dishes but I thought that the last two courses, lamb with a salty sauce and dessert, were quite mediocre. This place is a solid special occasion choice. Pros: Main Dishes, Caviar, Wine Cons: , Pricey more

$$$$$$ decent food with ridiculous price 2/6/2004

The food was decent. The ambience was interesting. The service was mediocre. The price was ridiculous. Entrees are normally in the mid 30's, appetizers are normally in the mid teens. I felt the entrees were in the $20 quality and the appetizers were in the $7 quality. This Restaurant Row place is for tourist. I will not go back there because it is so overvalued. Pros: Ambience Cons: , slow service more

One of my favorites 7/5/2003

You can't beat the $39 three course prix-fixe (available from 5:30 to close). The space is gorgeous and quiet. And it's pretty versatile. I'd as easily take my parents as I would a date. Pros: Gorgeous, Attentive Service, Great Value more

stay away!!!! 2/9/2003

i have never encountered worse service. the servers (and especially the manager) were hostile and unaccomodating. and they screwed up the orders not only at our table, but i noticed that people were upset all over the restaurant.... no matter how nice the food and enjoyable the caviar, this restaurant was HORRIBLE. plus it was my birthday dinner, and it was just wasted here. Pros: good caviar Cons: service, service, service more

FireBird is the hidden of the restaurant district. There are no words to describe the feeling you get as you walk into the restaurant. Pros: excellent ambience, great food, good location Cons: none, none, none more

I have never seen blini this small! 2/3/2003

I was really disappointed with the food. Having lived in Russia for 14 years, I have never seen blini as small and cold as they were served at this restaurant. I even asked the waiter if blini were coming later when he pointed to my plate. I have to say, that service was really nice, although all of the waiters looked like they were in mourning. Everything was very odd, and definitely very far from russian. more
