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.

    We loved our waitstaff, Wilson. Although it was packed for Valentine’s Day, the set menu was a smart choice and streamlined service. The suggested wine list was excellent. The dinner and dessert items also were excellent. We will return to Choplin’s and consider it a place to take out of town family. I plan work events so this will also be a small venue for me to consider for the future.

    Our visit to Red Rocks was pleasant. We were seated promptly and our waiter greeted us shortly after sitting down. We sat up in the front of restaurant near the street which we had not sat in that area before. The food was excellent and the right temperature. Prices were quite high as seems to be the norm these days, which doesn’t sit well with me. Highly restricts our eating out.

    We went for Valentines day. Our server was great and very attentive. We made a last minute reservation and were seated immediately. The manager also stopped by our table and offered unique menu items. My husband got the $70 option where they surprise you with 5 different smaller plates based on your food preferences. It was fun to not know what was coming out next. They have other reasonable price options. Overall, great experience.

    From start to finish, a wonderful Valentine day experience. Cyrus took excellent care of us and no hesitation in responding to our request to split the 3 course prime rib meal. You can tell management is adept at developing friendly, professional, and well-trained staff at Firebirds. Crab cake appetizer was very good. We consistently get the best attention and meals there which is why we return again and again.
