    Everything was phenomenal, our server Chris was great as was the other wait staff. We tried the Kobe bruschetta which was delicious! I got the 8 oz center cut for my entree, which was incredibly tender and tasty. The mash potatoes that came with it were perfect! I had the seasonal cheesecake for dessert which was easily the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! Great atmosphere, Definitely recommend.

    Food was good but service was not. The waiter asked us for our full order the instant we sat down and opened the menu, which was not possible. We quickly put in an appetizer and did not see her again for over 20 minutes. Once we did order it took another 20 minutes to get our wine. The three of four times she did stop by, she blamed someone different for the bad service. It was the kitchens fault, the bars fault, the other customers fault. Her quality check was done after both plates were empty, and she dropped the check without a word when we would have loved another round. I don’t know if firefly is forcing their servers to take on more tables than they can handle, or if ours was just not skilled but it was very frustrating.

    Beautiful place and experience. Top notch service and food. We had the stuffed filet, melts literally in your mouth. The sushi was amazing and the Shecrab soup. You can never go wrong and the ambience was off the chain

    We've been celebrating our anniversary here for years and it's always great. The She Crab soup is the best anywhere. Wade was amazing as Wait Staff, great recommendations and was kind enough to tell me that an item contained an ingredient that I do not like. It's worth saving up for to go to for celebrating an event.

    We generally love Firefly, and have eaten there dozens of times over the years, but this experience did not live up to their usual standards. The dining room was half empty, and there appeared to be enough staff, but everything felt out of order and disorganized. For example, we ordered the she-crab soup as an appetizer but hadn’t yet ordered our entrees. The soup came almost immediately, while our menus were still on the table and we hadn’t yet ordered entrees, and before the bread. The soup was incredible, as always. Our waiter came to check on us after we got the soup, took our entree orders, and promised to bring bread right back. We finished our soup and our bowls were taken. Still no bread. About ten to fifteen minutes went by and eventually our server noticed we still had no bread, so he waved someone else down to finally bring it. Then we sat and waited an extended amount of time for our entrees. We had been seated for over an hour before our entrees ever came. During this time there was no explanation or apology for the long wait. Again, the restaurant was half empty, and a large private party left as we originally were seated, so there wasn’t any obvious reason for the kitchen to be so far behind. In fact, our reservation had originally been for 8:00, but we received a text at 7:30 saying our table was ready and asking if we were on the way. This also seemed to indicate to us that the restaurant was less busy than usual. The food was tasty, as always, but the overall experience this time was not worth the money and did not live up to what we have come to expect from many past experiences at Firefly. It was disappointing.
