    We had a great birthday celebration at The Front Yard and enjoyed the food and the drinks. Our server was always available and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the Flank Steak, Brussels Sprouts and Garlic Broccoli Flat Bread. The parking is easy and they validate so there is no charge. All went very well!

    We were unfamiliar with Firefly but, based on a good rating from YELP! we decided to try it. There were 5 of us for dinner and the food was outstanding. We opted for the 3 course fixed price menu and each dish was excellent. The waiters were friendly and attentive. The portions were generous enough so that we left satisfied but not stuffed. We'll definitely be back.

    Outstanding meal. Great attentive service. Excellent food from the French Onion Soup and Hamachi Crudo appetizers to classic entrees Trout Almondine, Mussels Mariniere in a sublime white wine sauce with shallots and Creme Fraiche, and Filet au Poivre with a delicious cognac black pepper sauce. Belgian Endive Salad also very solid while the Bartender was on his game. All around great French Bistro vibe. And Chocolate Souffle to cap it off. A winner!

    Everything was exceptional—the food and service were top-notch. However, I ordered the flat iron steak and, unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan and won't be ordering it again. It had a strange flavor, almost like it was marinated in wine or something that didn’t sit well with me. I still ate it for two reasons: I was with my team and didn’t want to make a fuss. But I couldn’t quite place that flavor—no amount of salt could mask it. That said, everything else was fantastic. The calamari was perfectly fried and seasoned. The cheese bread—delicious! And my wedge salad? Wow, you guys loaded it up, and I truly appreciated that! Just the steak I couldn’t finish. Thank you, and happy holidays!
