The Scene – The stately, dimly lit front bar boasts red walls, dignified paintings, comfy couches and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Cement floors and a high A-frame ceiling don't detract from the cozy romance offered by a central patio fireplace. One wall flickers with inset candles; iron sconces line the other. Servers are prompt, informed and exceptionally attentive. – – The Food – Items on the small, varied menu are skillfully prepared. Addictive appetizers include the miniature salty Cicchetti green olives, deep-fried and served with a unctuous garlic aioli, and…

Unfortunate
by behradkarbassi
An old favorite based on the ambiance, great food and service. Not having dined there for some time, Saturday's experience was a disappointment. The food was still great... but... being rudely told that "they'd do their best to get us a table" because we arrived 13 minutes past our reservation time was ridiculous. A mere "your table is not ready yet" would've sufficed and made us actually feel welcome instead of feeling as if we had just missed a flight to Europe because of our minutes of tardiness!
So we move on... the server is nice but seemed to be tending to every single table in the place because although she did ask us if we needed anything throughout the night, she rushed by our table at lightening speed when doing so and never gave us a chance to answer.
With restaurants like Jiraffe, Madeo, and Catch spoiling us with amazing food and impeccable service, Firefly is definitely no longer a favorite... not even in the top 20 of places where I love spending money.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Poor service

RUDE MANAGEMENT/ DOORMEN
by CandyApple09
THE GUY AT THE DOOR IS EXTREMELY RUDE..THINKS HES HOT SH**. HE ONLY LETS PEOPLE IN WHO GIVE HIM A CASH INCENTIVE. EVEN THOUGH ME AND MY FRIENDS HAD DINNER RESERVATIONS WE HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD GO IN. ONCE WE GOT IN WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 10-15 MINS TO BE SEATED, THE ONLY GOOD SERVICE WE GOT WERE FROM THE BUS BOYS..EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKED!!!!!!!
- Cons: OH FORGOT TO MENTION ONLY ONE FIRE PLACE...WHY CALL IT FIREFLY?? ONLY FOUR TABLES SEAT AROUND IT..SMALL TABLES!
The Details on Firefly
Know Before You Go:
Modest ones beware: The bathroom is unisex.
Look Good:
If you get lost, look for the ivy-covered building on the south side of the street with the valet out front. There is no sign.
Where to Sit:
Because the dining room is outside, smoking is allowed. Request a table closer to the front if this is a problem--the heavier concentration of it takes place at the back bar, but the high ceilings allow smoke to dissipate quickly.
