Editorial Review for Firebirds Rocky Mountain Grill – by Alice Bumgarner
In Short
A little piece of the Rocky Mountains plunked down in the Streets at Southpoint mall: exposed beams, stone walls, a central fireplace, earthy tones everywhere. The crowd it attracts may be mall-going, but this is not a food-court restaurant. Oversized martini glasses dot the tables; classic rock wafts overhead; and an enormous bar up front does brisk business as folks wait for tables to turn. On the menu, expect steakhouse fare with a Western twist, plus top-notch wine list.

Good menu for any age, nice atmosphere for dinner/drinks or just dessert; wait and management/bar staff are professionally trained and take pride in their work; food is consistently excellent and if a busy or off night, they will 'make it right' for a great dining experience; been a regular for over 3 years and it's a place I can count on for a good evening/outing; call ahead seating is recommended at peak times; try their seasonal menus for real surprises/delicious; would politely recommend it's not a place to have smaller children for 'lengths of time' due to expected atmosphere while dining in this restaurant, great for family, but not 'family style budgeted eating' if you're looking to make it cheap (just being honest!)
Pros: food, service, atmosphere
Cons: call head for peak times

For the price of the food you would expect really good food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. The food is top notch (try the pepper corn crusted steak with a bottle of their house red). The service was quite good; the waitress knew what she was doing and was pleasant. The atmosphere was the problem. If I'm going to pay $35 for a plate, I expect it to be more of a fine dining experience, but unfortunately this restaurant is essentially in a mall and so they have customers walking in wearing T Shirts and trailing behind them are their kids. It's unfortunate that their quality of food and their service don't match their customers. If they imposed a dress code that would fix the problem but I don't see that happening at a mall restaurant.
Pros: food and service
Cons: under-dressed customers
