We ordered the Apple Butter chicken sandwich with coleslaw and the Black Garlic Burger with fries. The Apple Butter chicken sandwich was very juicy. The bun to chicken ratio was good. The coleslaw was not too creamy and just had the right amount of vinegar. Black Garlic Chicken was the better of the two. It was full of umami flavor with a juicy patty. The fries were thick and crispy. The seasoning on them put it over the top. Not that I live super far from this restaurant, but for the fries to stay crispy speaks volumes. Can't wait to come dine in at Atlas Tavern.

Celebrating 25 Years at One of Our Favorite Steakhouses!…read more Last night was a very special night for my wife and me -- we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, and we decided to spend it at one of our favorite steakhouses, Firebirds. We arrived a little early to beat the dinner crowd, and just as I suspected, the restaurant wasn't very busy. We were seated immediately, and to our surprise, our waitress was Nigh (I hope I'm spelling that correctly!). She has waited on us before, and we were so happy to see her again. She is honestly one of the sweetest servers you could ask for -- friendly, super polite, attentive, and just an all-around great waitress. Since we arrived early, we were able to take advantage of their early dinner special, which offers eight different entrées to choose from. I went with the Asiago Creamy Spicy Pasta, which came with chicken, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and penne pasta. I also started with a BLT salad, which was delicious. And, of course, Firebirds brings fresh bread to the table, which is always a nice bonus. My wife chose the meatloaf with mushroom gravy, served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. We both agreed -- the meals were absolutely delicious! And because we were celebrating, we couldn't leave without ordering one of our absolute favorites: Big Daddy Chocolate Cake! How do I describe this cake? Imagine the most decadent, rich, chocolatey dessert you've ever had... now multiply that by 10. That's probably getting close to describing how good this cake is! It is seriously that delicious. Once again, Firebirds delivered exactly what we've come to expect: great food, great service, and a wonderful experience. Most importantly, they helped make our 25th wedding anniversary a little more special, and we truly appreciate that. Thanks, Firebirds, for another fantastic meal and another great memory. We'll definitely be back!

Made a reservation for dinner about a week in advance and yes, told them it was our anniversary. We got there a few minutes early. They got us seated right on time.

Drinks are ordered and they came quickly. We got a chance to finally look around and found it to be a very relaxing atmosphere. We could not resist the prime rib egg rolls. Very crunchy exterior with slices of prime rib inside. The dipping sauce had a great flavor but I copied not decide on the ingredients. Just know you want to ask for more. I don't get seafood at home. My wife's idea of seafood has Gortons on the label. So when I saw the seafood trio I had to get it. Really really good. Shrimp,scallop, salmon that all had great flavor and were prepared very well. My wife loves gnocchi so the short rib version was her choice. I got the leftovers the next day and they were still good. Since we were celebrating I got the celebration cheesecake. Dense but tasty. Lots of crunchy extras to dip into if you want. She got the obligatory crème brûlée. There were no leftovers for me. Dang. Monika was a dream to work with. Fun, personable, professional and just a good person to deal with. Make sure to notice her jewelry. There is a good story behind it. This experience might convince us to go to upscale restaurants more! Thanks Monika!
