- MMeganChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great dinner on Valentines Day! It was the perfect mix of quiet, cozy, moody, relaxed with just a hint of fine dining and exactly what we were looking for. My husband had an old fashioned which he said was really good. I had the 5 option charcuterie spread and he had the hot honey wood fire pizza. Both were *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be back!More infoEatery APrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Des Moines•4.8
- CCaseyIowa •5 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe rather enjoy Firebirds. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. Their food is always good. Service good, for the day. Mondays they have half off selection wines which is nice. The prices are slightly high for my liking but apparently not high enough because we keep going back. It’s become a go to for us.More infoFirebirds Wood Fired Grill - West Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• West Des Moines•4.6
