    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.

    We visited Firefly Bistro to support the CASA fundraiser. It was our first time dining there. We were impressed by the friendly staff, the service and the cozy atmosphere. Our dinners were delicious! We will definitely be back!

    One of my favorite Manchester restaurants! Food is fantastic and wait staff is very attentive. Prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area. On the noisy side but so worth it!

    Really enjoyed the evening at Firefly. It was a very busy night and we sat at the first table near the bar. The noise level was fairly high. The service was good, but certainly felt a little bit rushed to order. The restaurant was busy but not full. The overall experience was very good but not what I have typically come to expect for Firefly.

    Next time I will specify that we don’t want to be in the bar area. Food was delicious. Got dessert to go. A hidden gem. Our server, Dani, was AMAZING- Made sitting in the bar area more tolerable

    We were slightly nervous when we were seated in the bar area. Looked as though the bar was full of regulars and a tad loud. But worth the stay, food was amazing. Try the red curry, you will not be dissapointed. The steak tips were cooked to perfection. Everything was reasonably priced. Our server, Danny, was fabulous! I would return without hesitation.

    Extraordinary service, from both server and the kitchen to grant me special preparation requests. Everyone loved their meals, especially the eggplant.
