    It was our first tie at Firefly. The food was good but I was surprised that they had no raw veggies available at all. We ordered the gorgonzola fondue and I thought it would work well with some carrots or celery. All of the food was good. (soba noodles, short ribs, fish and risotto) The service however was incredibly slow. It took 75 minutes (yes - you read that correctly 1 h and 15 min) after we arrived for us to get the appetizers. We arrived at 6:30 (with reservation) and left there around 9 PM, The drinks came after 45 mins. The water was only filled once and that was on request. This was on a Tuesday night - the weekends might be even slower. You should go there if you are not super hungry and want to chat. It is a good place for that.

    The short rib with mashed potatoes was delicious and full of flavor. The lobster squash ravioli with bacon maple sauce was mind-blowing, and the service was outstanding!

    We are frequently here and like the place. Last night we took a friend and his wife. The place was slammed. We get it. The waitress was great. However, it was deafeningly loud. Especially from a loud table of woman next to us. Then, unfortunately, the food was very sub optimal at for the moment pace. Sandwiches, steak tips, noodle bowls and apps. Just all below the usual standard. None of us finished anything. The pumpkin cheesecake desert was good though.

    My friends and I have enjoyed several lunches at the Firefly over the past several years. It is a very pleasant bistro with some e innovative approaches to bistro standards. The staff has been unfailingly pleasant and appropriately attentive. Always a pleasure.
