    Fried oysters
    Rasalind F.

    The food, service, and ambiance were great. I was hoping there would be more flexibility with the combos as far as being able to switch out certain options for others. But it was a cool experience.

    1lb Crawfish - 1lb Snow Crabs
    Vi G.

    Definitely have been wanting to come here. Unfortunately the crawfish lacked flavor but the snow crabs were delightful. The fried oysters, were subpar. I could've gone without them. I will say - the lunch menu (shrimp, snow crabs, mussels etc) costs is nearly the same as if you were to go purchase these at the store & made at home. The regular menu costs (shrimp, snow crabs, mussels, etc) the costs is double what you'd purchase at store. I would say - coming for lunch would be well worth it.

    I've had a lot of seafood boils, but this one by far has been the best. From the freshness of the seafood to the sauce. Then even have lunch specials! Mines was $26 for one pound of crab, half of pound of shrimp (head off) I choose the sauce option that consists of all sauces mixed together. 10/10 I took my order to go and enjoyed it as if I dined in to eat it. They also have HH which of course is a plus for me! I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Sausage Alfredo

    This is definitely not Alfredo. We wasted 70 dollars there today. I will not be returning.

    The food here is really fresh and flavorful. The service is super friendly albeit a little slow - I have to assume that is because everything is steamed fresh. We've been a few times and the food is always consistent. You can vary the flavor and spice level to your choosing. We only ever get the mild Cajun (my children love it). The boil bag is brought to your table where you open it and release all the steam. I am terrible at eating crab legs so it would be nice for someone to offer to show us how but that hasn't happened.

We sat at the bar, and the bartender was amazing, full of helpful info about the menu. He told us how the seafood comes in fresh. He recommended oysters to us, and since it was our first time, he threw in a couple of his favorites at no charge. It was also happy hour, and we took advantage of the specials, ordering the cheddar biscuits drizzled with honey and the colossal cocktail shrimp. They really were huge and delicious. We also enjoyed half-price oysters. My husband loved the crushed cocktails We split the mahi-mahi, and we loved how he told us about the fresh fish that had never been frozen and whether it was wild or farm-raised. The mahi was incredible. You could tell it was fresh. We enjoyed the potatoes and the BéreBlanc sauce. This is going to be a place that we will end up becoming regulars at. So happy to have tried it!

As transplants from another state, and BBQ not being our first language, we wanted to try new things! They came to the table and we were all sort of perplexed. Were they supposed to look like...that? Either way, we dug in. They were cold in the middle, also a strange discovery to us. I ordered the burnt ends, which came to the table closer to cold than warm. The blue cheese potato salad was tasty and all it needed was a lil salt and pepper to make it perfect. All was going well, until my husband was about 4-5 bites into his brisket wrap. He asked me to smell it, and I did. It was funky! Smelled a lot like a foot and not a lot like a tortilla. He asked the server to smell it and they agreed it was a bit odd. The manager came over and denied it smelling like anything. My husband had finished his meal, and we weren't looking for a freebie but wanted to let them know it was a lil weird. Instead of acknowledging the potential issue, we were dismissed as "wrong." It just didn't sit right with me. My husband had some definite issues in the hour or two after eating, so we won't be back. I won't say it was food poisoning because genuinely it could have just not agreed with my husband. I'll put my disclaimer on here, I hope people do enjoy and continue to patronize this small business, it's just not to my liking.

The service was really great and the place is really spacious. There was a private room near the bar that would work well for a bookclub discussion if you're looking for engaging conversation and delicious bites. My friend ordered the ranch rings and the chicken chile nachos. I tasted both and they were really delicious. Would definitely purchase during another visit and recommend you try. I was kinda skeptical about the goat cheese on the nachos but they made it work. I ordered the steak tacos (3 tacos) and the southwest au gratin potatoes. The steak tacos were good (would order again) but the potatoes weren't worth raving about. I enjoyed the pickled red onions and the slaw on the tacos. The steak was cooked medium but I like my steak that way so if that's not your jam - definitely clarify that to your server. Didn't get to try any of the cocktails but looking forward to returning to check out some of the selections offered!

We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday and were told there would be about a 10-minute wait, so we opted to grab seats at the bar and have dinner there instead. As the evening went on, we learned there are some trade-offs to dining at the bar. As the restaurant filled up, the bar area became increasingly busy and service naturally slowed. Small but noticeable details -- like water refills -- started getting overlooked. I was also surprised our server never checked in with my wife about her Chicken Pasta, especially since she barely touched it. We started with the Caesar Salad, which was excellent. The portion size was enormous -- easily large enough for two people to share -- with crisp romaine, generous dressing, and plenty of shaved Parmesan. I'm a longtime prime rib fan, so seeing it featured immediately caught my attention. The 13-ounce cut arrived perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The meat was exceptionally tender and flavorful, complemented nicely by a rich au jus and a creamy horseradish ("horsey") sauce that added just the right kick. My wife ordered the Chicken Pasta, which arrived as a very generous portion that could easily serve two. The dish featured grilled chicken over pasta in a spicy Asiago cream sauce. Unfortunately, the heat level was stronger than expected and ended up overpowering the dish for her, leaving most of it uneaten. One highlight of the evening was the Double Black Diamond Martini -- an infusion of fresh pineapple with New Amsterdam Pineapple Vodka. At $7.95 during Happy Hour (normally $13.95), it felt like one of the best values on the menu and was refreshing without being overly sweet. The restaurant was packed throughout our visit and clearly has a loyal following. After six years in this location, Firebirds seems to have built a strong customer base. With a bit more attentiveness to bar diners during peak hours, the experience could easily move from good to great.

"Premier" isn't marketing flair - it's accurate. This is, hands down, the best raw bar in Kansas City. We arrived for our 5:15 p.m. reservation in the main dining room and were warmly greeted by Allison, our server. She struck the perfect balance - friendly, engaging, and attentive throughout the meal. A great start to the evening. For two diners, we wanted to explore as much of the menu as possible. Before ordering food, we were told the signature Frozen Gin & Tonic was a must. It lived up to the reputation - bright, refreshing, and expertly balanced. The only thing that would have made it better was a slightly warmer dining room. We're big mussel fans, so we opened with the Bangs Island Mussels - and they set the bar high. A generous portion of plump mussels bathed in a white wine and roasted tomato broth that was deeply flavorful without being heavy. The toasted bread was perfect for soaking up every last bite. Simply outstanding. Next came the NOLA-Style Shrimp Gumbo. Served in a small bowl, but packed with richness and depth. Adding a touch of hot sauce brought just the right amount of heat and complexity. A standout dish. My wife - having happily overindulged in mussels and bread - opted for a lighter course: a single Maryland Crab Cake, available fried or broiled. It was almost all crab, clean and flavorful, with a satisfying crust. She couldn't finish it...so I did. When you go to a raw bar, oysters are non-negotiable. I ordered a half dozen featuring both East and West Coast varieties. Each one was pristine, briny, and fresh, and the horseradish had just the right bite. For my entrée, I chose the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp - four large prawns, each wrapped in crisp, smoky bacon. Simple, well-executed, and a strong finish to the savory courses. Dessert did not disappoint. My wife loved the Lemon Pistachio Chess Torte, while I devoured the Bourbon Apple Tart. She noted that the toasted meringue reminded her of marshmallows - a detail that made us smile. The dining room is intimate and can get noisy as it fills up. Next time, we'll likely try the patio for a different vibe. Pacing throughout the meal was spot-on, dishes came out promptly from the kitchen, and Allison's service tied everything together into a truly memorable evening. We'll definitely be back - and soon.

He asked if a half and half table was okay where half of the "booth" is a booth seat and half is two seats n the aisle at the table. We said we preferred a regular booth but if that was all they had it would be fine. We were kind of surprised when we entered the dining area as there were only people sitting at two other half and half tables (same row as us), but there were multiple (at least 18 that I could count from our seat) regular booths, some right across from our half and half booth with no one in them. Anyway, not the best experience but we were okay as I must sit in a booth due to medical concerns so took the booth portion of the half and half. Thankfully the booth situation was the only downside to our entire visit. Our group consisted of my wife, me, and a guest we had visiting from Colombia. After being seated our server Desiree introduced herself and asked if we would like something to drink, if we wanted to start with a starter appetizer) and if we had any questions about the menu. We ordered three waters and all three of us had the Monday Daily Special of Endless Shrimp which includes four options: garlic shrimp scampi, shrimp linguine alfredo, coconut shrimp, Walt's favorite shrimp. Each comes with one side which is not unlimited. For the first order you can get three of the four shrimp options. For successive orders you can order one at a time. If you re-order the garlic shrimp scampi and are on a limited time, be aware that dish takes the longest to prepare and begin to the table, about 7-8 minutes - worth the wait but a possibly important point for some in a hurry. All other options came out within about 3-4 minutes of re-order. My wife and I each started with the garlic shrimp scampi, shrimp linguine alfredo, walt's favorite shrimp, with broccoli for the side. All of the shrimp dishes were delicious. The scampi was sitting in a nice oblong bowl of garlic butter and was not greasy, and the dish was hot as was the scampi. The linguine was cooked perfectly and the alfredo was better than at some Italian style restaurants. Walt's shrimp came with a nice tasting cocktail sauce. The platter came with a lemon wedge. The broccoli was steamed perfectly providing a tender but not mushy bunch of florets, about nine florets on my platter. My wife's evaluation of her platter was the same, all perfect and delicious. Our guest had the same three types of shrimp to start, and selected fries for his side. He also enjoyed all of the shrimp and said his fries were nicely crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Desiree came by every few minutes to see if we wanted to order any more shrimp and to check on waters. She was very good at keeping up with the tables in our row, maintaining a personal and business approach while being friendly and not rushed. There was no feeling on our part that there was any hesitation regarding any re-orders of shrimp. It felt like they were (at least Desiree) happy when you ordered more. We had additional orders of the various shrimp selections and also had the coconut shrimp as one of the re-orders. The coconut shrimp had a nice light spice to it which nicely complemented the sweetness of the coconut. It came with a side of sauce that did not taste like mayonnaise-anything but was a nice, slightly sweet, almost tropical white based sauce. Nice flavor and did not taste heavy. When it was time to pay, Desiree brought the ticket to the table, it as clear and easy to read. It has suggested tips on that include tax on the meal items as well as the tax, so be aware if using the suggestions. No reason to tip a tax. We tip based on service so servers actually do. better with us doing that anyway, if we used the erroneous suggested tips places like this use that include tax, it seems unauthentic on the part of the business. Payment was easy, they take cash, gift cards, or credit cards and there is no extra charge for credit cards. We enjoyed our meal and thanked Desiree for being an excellent server. Our experience will likely cause us to visit again next the future. My wife and I agreed the food was much better than the last time we were there.
