Cool mountain air. A crackling wood fire. The sizzle of the grill. And the spark of great conversation. Those aren't just the ingredients for a great meal. They're the soul of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant dedicated to the world's oldest method of cooking - and the most satisfying. Inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West, the first Firebirds called itself a "Rocky Mountain Grill." But not so long afterward, the restaurant changed its name to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. Because at its core, what makes Firebirds' scratch cooking so delicious - and inspires everything from the menu to its hospitality and décor - isn't a place. It's the fire itself. Firebirds has come a long way since the early days. Not only is the menu broader, the ambiance more polished and the value greater than ever, today Firebirds Wood Fired Grill serves guests across the country. But some things never change - like Firebirds' commitment to quality and freshness and its passion for introducing guests to the primal pleasure of meats, seafood and vegetables grilled over a blazing wood fire. From Firebirds' locally sourced hardwoods to its unique cooking techniques, everything Firebirds does honors the power of the flame. Because wood fired grilling brings people together. And its bold flavors set Firebirds apart.

    Our family from NY cerebrated Christmas at Choplin’s for the first time after hearing great things about the restaurant from friends in the area. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. The food was delicious, portions were huge and the dessert menu had something for everyone! For a group of 15, it’s not easy to satisfy everybody and Choplins nailed it! The interior has modern touches, yet warm and friendly. We can’t wait to return to this family operated gem. The service was impeccable even with so many Christmas parties going on. We live in New York City where there are amazing restaurants. I would recommend Choplin’s to anyone who has high expectations for steaks and seafood. Thank you for making our family celebration truly memorable! Kudos the owners Faith and chef Wes who came out to check on our group and to Samantha who made sure everyone enjoyed! Merry Christmas!

    We always love dining at Novanta. Service is always perfect and accommodating. We celebrated our son’s birthday tonight. Jessica brought dough for our grandkids to play with while we wait for our meals to arrive. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, put it on your “must go” list. You will be happy!

    The Port City is one of my new faves! I just love the Orange Julius and Lobster dumplings though only four at $5 each is bit much since I would love them as a meal!!!! The Chili Crusted Seared Tuna is amazing!!! Hope to make it a monthly stop.
