Dining at the upcoming Shops at Arcola development is about to take flight, thanks to a popular restaurant chain with a focus on wood-fired fare. Firebirds has signed on to open in the retail center, though a long wait may be ahead for future customers, reports local media outlet The Burn.
The restaurant will be occupying lot 810 on the Dulles Boulevard side of the planned 102,843 square foot Shops at Arcola. According to the SJC Ventures website, Firebirds will be moving into a 5,704 square foot storefront.
There is not yet an opening timeline projected for the eatery. Construction has not begun on the retail development, and it is not yet clear when work on the project will commence. However, a number of notable tenants have signed on to join Firebirds at the Shops at Arcola, including Shake Shack and Tifa Chocolate & Gelato.
Founded in 2000, Firebirds has become a fan-favorite for many diners thanks to its approach to traditional American cuisine. The website states: “There’s nothing quite as welcoming as a fire–and nothing gets mouths watering like wood fire grilling. That’s why we use an open flame to cook…pretty much everything. Whether you’re craving hand-cut steak, fresh seafood, locally-sourced vegetables, or simply a break from the ordinary, this is your place.”
