    The food was absolutely fabulous, each course just as good as the last. The drinks were so tasty and had a great kick. The options on the menu were varied and house made. I was worried first about sitting at a table so close to another couple, but the tables were perfectly spaced and we didn't feel too close to our neighbors. The server we had was pleasant and efficient, she did not hover too long, but did check in with us at just the right intervals. We will be back!

    Oysters Rockefeller opener was very tasty. Had pork chop special. It was cooked perfectly. Special cheesecake for dessert was top-notch. Our server, Tyler, couldn't have been nicer and very accommodating. This place is always busy, so it says alot about how they treat customers. Several staff members thanked us for coming on way out. Always friendly. Great experience. Highly recommended if you've not been. Their menu is one page, so not a big selection. But, they prepare it all perfectly and specials are usually my first choice.

    Firefly never disappoints! From the moment you enter, you receive a warm and joyful welcome. The staff is by far some of the best around. The food is outstanding, the portions fair, and the prices reasonable. The drinks are creative, and there are good wine options by the glass. It is a lively and upbeat atmosphere with a great vibe.
