It has been participating in Restaurant Week since 2013 for two main reasons: to reward its loyal customers, giving them a chance to try something new on the menu or get a bundle for a lower prince, and to welcome new people who may have never heard about the restaurant before to try its cuisine.“I hope that Restaurant Week as seen in years past continues to encourage folks to try out Firebirds and we can’t wait to meet them,” said Eleni Kouvatsos, senior director of communications at Firebirds Wood-Fired Grill.Firebirds Wood-Fired Grill is a lunch, brunch and dinner restaurant that cooks its food over an open flame, giving it a smoky flavor unlike that garnered from cooking in a traditional way over the grill. They also butcher all their meat in-house. Furthermore, the restaurant also has a bar, aptly titled the “Fire Bar.”Unlike some restaurants participating in Restaurant Week there are two options available.“We like to go above and beyond,” Kouvatsos said.The first option is a two-course lunch for $20. The first course is a choice between a cup of chicken tortilla soup or the soup of the day or a mixed greens, Caesar or BLT salad. The main course options are a Mexicali grilled chicken salad, a whiskey barbecue burger or Baja shrimp pasta.There is also a three-course dinner option for $44. This offering comes with the same first-course option as above, alongside new main courses and desserts. The main course options are a slow-roasted prime rib, a parmesan-crusted pork chop, wood-grilled salmon with colossal shrimp and wood-grilled New York strip steak. Finally, dessert features either a chocolate brownie sundae, creme brulee cheesecake bites or carrot cake topped with salted caramel sauce, served warm.“People tend to think of us as a steakhouse, which we do offer a lot of steaks, and they’re fantastic, but our top-selling item on the menu year-round is actually that wood-grilled salmon,” Kouvatsos said. “It’s just because of the way that it cooks and the flavors that flame imparts — you just can’t beat it.”Firebirds Wood-Fired Grill16067 N.
