I have always liked their bread because it reminds me of <em>pan de sal<\/em>. The servers brought us several loaves well before we could even finish one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure about the others but my food was pretty good. The last time I had salmon at Firebirds it was a little overdone. It seemed that way anyhow. I thought I would give them another chance and get salmon again. This time to just add to my salad. The salmon was done absolutely perfectly. It didn&#8217;t dry up so that was great.<\/p>\n<p>Our server recommended their seasonal dessert, a banana cream pie on steroids. We shared two slices of the pie. It was delicious. I hope Brian learns how to make it because I would love to have some again.
