    I love Firefly and go there often. Today was Easter brunch and the joint was hopping - but the service was good and the food outstanding. In addition, they are super careful about my fatal nut allergy! And when I made the reservation I asked for a quiet out of the way table because my 92yo Mom was with us and they accommodated the request even though they were completely full. Go. You won’t be disappointed!

    We had a lovely table with a nice view and our waitress was very attentive but not pushy one bit. We stayed for over three hours yet we were never felt pressured to leave. One of my favorite places.

    Service is always wonderful here. A neighborhood gem. I love their fish & chips. The fish is always fresh and flakey and not heavily coated. Thumbs up!

    We always enjoy Firefly for lunch and dinner and today did not disappoint. The wait staff is very polite and efficient but not bothersome and the menu choices, including the drinks menu, are wide ranging without being overwhelming. My salad was wonderful. Our friends are visiting from Virginia and have joined us before at Firefly for dinner. They commented: imagine lunch under $100.00! So, the value, compared to other parts of the country, is certainly notable and we all loved our food.

    We were there for an event from an hour away and this was such a delightful dinner. The staff made it super special for our son who celebrated a birthday a few weeks ago. Thank you so much!
