Firebird Grill was a decent experience overall, though not necessarily somewhere I'd personally…read morereturn to given the number of dining options in Nashville. I visited with my parents during their last trip to town since the restaurant happened to be nearby. Upon walking in, the decor felt a little confusing. The menu clearly presents the restaurant as a grill, but the interior still seemed heavily influenced by what may have previously been an Asian restaurant space. The renovation didn't feel entirely cohesive, which made the atmosphere a bit disjointed. That said, the staff was very friendly, and we were seated quickly. Throughout the meal, however, there seemed to be an underlying sense of stress among the staff that was noticeable despite their efforts to remain professional and attentive. It created a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere at times. For dinner, we ordered the filet with broccoli and French fries, while another guest ordered a salad. Unfortunately, the salad had to be sent back because it arrived with blue cheese despite a requested omission due to an allergy. Thankfully, the issue was corrected. The filet itself was cooked to the requested temperature, and overall the food was fine, but nothing particularly stood out as memorable. Everything was acceptable, though not especially remarkable. Overall, Firebird Grill may work well for larger groups or families looking for a convenient, casual meal, but with so many standout restaurants in Nashville, it's probably not a place I'd personally revisit.

The waitress was so kind and went over the menu and how they do there meats after knowing this was our first time at there. They have a butcher on site, their seafood is brought in daily and house made pasta. She said they even have a pastry chef. But we didn't make it to dessert this time. We ordered the cornbread appetizer that comes with hot honey and whipped butter. It's served in a little dish like a cake. It was tender with whole corn on the inside. We didn't realize they also bring complementary gluten-free cheese, puffs turnovers, and mini biscuits . Those were out of this world!! The cheese puffs pull apart and have white cheddar inside! The biscuits were perfect!! Our main course was the club carbonara pasta( house made pasta with chicken and bacon) and the steak frites (with chimichurri sauce). I got the Sauvignon Blanc it was fruity and fresh! The place was upscale and seemed to be a lot of larger parties. We will definitely be back.

We had the mussels, which used to be excellent, but this time they were terrible - dry, chewy, with very little broth that was orange and tasted strongly of curry. I had a pizza that was ok. Lamb sausage, but it was really mediocre. I would not order again. My friend had the gnocchi with ragú and she also found it mediocre and not well prepared. In addition, we waited nearly an hour for our food to come out after ordering. A nearby table seated after us ordered, ate, paid & left before we got our food. Wait staff was not very cordial. We won't be back, unfortunately. It makes me sad because it used to be such a great restaurant. Also, not a fan of how the outdoor seating area changed.

After we ordered, she brought out a basket of biscuits, three for the two of us, which was a bit curious, but no complaints here. The second basket came soon after the first. They were light, slightly sweet, and really good. For my entrée, I went with the Louisiana Bayou Shrimp with Crawfish with a side of corn. Wow, great flavor with just the right amount of kick, and they didn't skimp on the shrimp or crawfish. Portion size was spot on. My wife kept it a bit more traditional with the Southern Fried Chicken Salad, which was fresh and very well done. Safe to say, we won't wait another 30 years to come back. I've already got my eye on the blueberry cobbler next time. If you live in Franklin, don't make the same mistake we did, give this place a try sooner rather than later. Cheers!
