Firebirds' limited-time seasonal menu is a culinary adventure

The award-winning restaurant and steakhouse Firebirds introduces its new Chef's features seasonal menu. This new menu is a must-try with a new seasonal starter, five entrees, one seasonal dessert, and a cotton candy-based seasonal cocktail. As one of the fortunate few invited to sample this culinary extravaganza at the Murfreesboro, TN, location, I can attest that this experience is not to be missed! But hurry, it's a limited-time affair only until February 29th

The Starter

The best way to start lunch or dinner is always with a salad. Firebirds' Signature Wedge Salad features crisp iceberg lettuce forming the perfect base. Topped with applewood smoked bacon tomatoes, and crunchy onion rings providing a satisfying texture. But the real star of the show? Candied bacon, adding a delightful sweetness to every bite. Drizzled with creamy bleu cheese dressing, this salad is a harmonious blend of savory and sweet, making it an irresistible choice for salad lovers.

Lunch Entrees: Elevate Your Midday Dining Experience!

Another yummy salad on the menu, but it's not the starter; it's one of the main entrees! During my sampling experience, I enjoyed diving into the Crab Cake Salad. While the jumbo lump crab cakes were delicious, what stood out for me was the salad dressed with black bean corn salsa. The unexpected combination exceeded my expectations. Crisp tortilla strips add a satisfying crunch, perfectly complemented by the smoky kick of chipotle ranch dressing. Priced at $23.95 and available exclusively for lunch, this exquisite salad elevates your dining experience to new heights.

Shaved Roast Beef Grilled Cheese is a twist on a comforting classic elevated to new heights. Get ready to indulge in layers of thinly shaved roast beef sandwiched between perfectly grilled slices of golden-brown bread and melted cheese. But it doesn't stop there. Enjoy each bite with a side of creamy tomato soup, the perfect dish for cool weather. So whether you're seeking comfort on a chilly day or simply craving a simple yet satisfying meal, this creation will surely warm your soul and leave you longing for more.

Another meal I got to sample was the Honey Garlic Glazed Grilled Salmon. With each bite, you could taste the freshness of the salmon as if it was just plucked from the water moments ago. Perfectly grilled with a yummy honey garlic glaze that made my tastebuds dance with its sweet and savory notes. Accompanied by seasonal grains, pilaf and topped with charred corn salsa for a refreshing burst of brightness. Unlike the Shaved Roast Beef Grilled Cheese and Crab Cake Salad, this meal is available all day.

Dinner Entrees: Savor the Seasonal Spectacle!

Firebirds' Grilled Scallops are delicately seared to perfection. Each plump scallop emits a succulent tenderness that melts in your mouth with every bite. Paired with a seasonal grain salad bursting with vibrant flavors and textures and drizzled with a luxurious Champagne butter sauce, this dish is a symphony of taste sensations that will leave you craving more. Priced at $28.95 and available exclusively for dinner, Firebirds' Grilled Scallops is an unforgettable dining experience celebrating the sea's finest flavors.

Dive into the ultimate surf and turf experience with Firebirds' Filet & Tempura Lobster Tail. Sink your teeth into mouthwatering filet mignon grilled to perfection alongside a succulent tempura lobster tail that boasts a crispy exterior and delicate, flavorful meat within. Accompanied by the irresistible tang of yum-yum sauce, this dish is a harmonious fusion of land and sea.

Dessert

My favorite part of the meal! Out of all I sampled, the Caramel Pecan Bread Pudding is my favorite! An irresistible delight, each spoonful of warm, decadent bread pudding melts in your mouth, complemented by a luscious drizzle of caramel sauce, cinnamon crisps, and a scoop of velvety vanilla bean ice cream. Despite feeling pleasantly full, I couldn't let all the deliciousness go to waste.

The Cocktail

Must have a nice cocktail to go with your meal? Celebrate love all year round. Valentine's Day may be over, but that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the "Melt My Heart" Cocktail. Crafted with Grey Goose Vodka, Tuaca, and lemon juice poured over strawberry cotton candy. Beware, for this cocktail packs a punch, with strength embodied in every sip. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a light-hearted romantic, one is sure to suffice.
