We have come to make this Firebirds our go-to dining for special occasions. Very friendly and accommodating staff. A wide menu and cocktail selection suit our families many preferred dietary needs. Ther food is well prepared and delicious. They can handle intimate to large gatherings. Value and quality of food is superb and will be returning!

We spent our valentine's dinner at the bar. The choices in the set menu were balanced, we ended up getting the same dishes - both the salmon tartare and the filet mignon were outstanding. In particular the way the meat was cooked (sous-vide) delivered such a unique experience. I am a meat lover and this was just out of this world, tender, perfect medium rare, warm all over, flavorful... wow! Respect to the team for a great experience.

We had a fabulous Valentine’s Day dinner at Hard Shell. Everything was perfect!

Took my long-time friend for Valentine's Day. We have never tried 1870. I made a reservation a month in advance because it was Valentine's Day. We were seated on the second floor, the Jewett Room. They only have four tables in the room so compared to the bar area, it was quiet. We had a table for 4, so for the 2 of us we had plenty of room. My date started with a cocktail, "The Mother of all President's", which was fabulous. The service was terrific, special shout out to our waiter Jacob. The meal was perfectly prepared. We both had the 6 oz filet mignon and it was so flavorful and tender. We shared the sauteed spinach and au gratin potatoes. For dessert, we split the dark chocolate tart, which went well with our bottle of Caymas Cabernet. I highly recommend for a special occasion. We heard they have a great happy hour, so we will definitely return and check it out.

Midlothian Ruth's Chris never fails to uphold a high standard. The GM Christina is super amazing and is very personable with her customers that dine in this five star restaurant. Having conversed with her and know that she worked from the bottom up gives an immense amount of respect for such a diligent and focused work ethic. Zach, albeit leaving soon, is amazing and we know that when he leaves will be just as delighted with the next server on our next visit. This place is very clean, smells great, the chefs have majestic cooking hands, and the food comes out hot and worth every penny spent. Of course this doesn't come cheap, but even on a budget if one were to save or even dine during happy hour, you can come and have an enjoyable experience and even leave with leftovers.  The food portions are appropriate to the value.  If you're looking to celebrate on an exquisite level whether it is an anniversary, birthday, proposal, business meeting, or just a night out for greatness - this is the place to be and enjoy, because you only live once.
