"While Firebirds operates locations across the country, the wood-fired grill with a lofty, mountain-lodge vibe first opened its doors in Charlotte nearly two decades ago. Steak and seafood are staples here. Lettuce lovers: Try the seared tuna superfoods salad, a nest of spinach loaded with organic ancient grains, seared sushi-grade tuna, cucumbers, avocado, edamame, grilled corn, and radish, splashed with avocado green goddess dressing." - Katie Toussaint
