Staff at Firebird's (including our brand new server) was fantastic! I had a copy of the GF menu in my hand within moments of alerting our server to my Celiac status..... and a manager (actually....two managers in two visits) came to personally explain their protocols for allergy food prep. They also explained that one of the managerd would personally be bringing my food to the table as a final vote of confidence/quality check. 16 years gluten free and I can count on one finger the number of times I have felt this heard and cared for in a restaurant..... although the Disney World folks run a very close second. (Really, truly!)
We went here during a busy Saturday night. I eat at Firebirds at home and this one was consistent with my usual good experience. Good gluten free menu (the salmon and mashed potatoes are my favorite!) and the food was excellent. I didn’t get sick, which I never do when at Firebirds so was happy. Give it a try!
I dined here safely for lunch yesterday. I ordered the wood-grilled salmon salad with avocado lime vinaigrette, and it was delicious. It was very helpful that the restaurant's website has a 'health and nutrition' page and offers a PDF version of their Nutritional & Allergy Guides. I downloaded and reviewed this beforehand.
However, I want to mention that they served bread as an appetizer for my table, which caused a lot of crumbs and made me nervous. Additionally, when my salad was brought out, it did not have any special markings indicating it was flagged for a gluten allergy in the back of house, which also concerned me. Despite these concerns, I'm happy to report that I feel fine 24 hours later.
