    Oysters Rockefeller opener was very tasty. Had pork chop special. It was cooked perfectly. Special cheesecake for dessert was top-notch. Our server, Tyler, couldn't have been nicer and very accommodating. This place is always busy, so it says alot about how they treat customers. Several staff members thanked us for coming on way out. Always friendly. Great experience. Highly recommended if you've not been. Their menu is one page, so not a big selection. But, they prepare it all perfectly and specials are usually my first choice.

    Fantastic food and cocktails with my kids.I took them for the first time and they loved it like I do. The scallops were great (and so many!!) and the meatloaf was very tasty (a big portion, as well). Love the ambiance and coziness of it. And Nina did a great job taking care of us and offering insight regarding the menu and cocktails. Will be back many more times in 2025!

    Firefly never disappoints! From the moment you enter, you receive a warm and joyful welcome. The staff is by far some of the best around. The food is outstanding, the portions fair, and the prices reasonable. The drinks are creative, and there are good wine options by the glass. It is a lively and upbeat atmosphere with a great vibe.
