    I was there on Friday night for a birthday dinner of 14 people, unknowingly the same restaurant I made reservations for a Saturday brunch. The food and service were excellent Friday night. Came back Saturday for a birthday brunch of five people. Sonia, our server, was amazing, and Kyle, the manager, was very accommodating! Great restaurant, atmosphere, service, and food! 👍🏽

    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.

    A magical Christmas experience! Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Every single thing we ate tasted fresh and homemade, which is unheard of these days. And everyone was so kind to us. As first time parents with our four month old in tow, it meant the world!
