About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Gluten-free-friendly
We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.

Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

    We had a wonderful first visit to Firefly. The vegan options were amazing - from starters to dessert. The flavors were a hit with each dish and the ingredients were so fresh. And the services was outstanding. We're looking forward to returning!

    I’m so glad my old favorite restaurant is still with us in Noe Valley when so many have disappeared. Firefly is exceptional and its longevity speaks to that. Local, fresh, inventive cuisine served with excellent service. A local gem.

    The food fell short. It was a bit bland and, nothing special. It was a shame as we were really looking forward to dining here.

    Great neighborhood place. Service is friendly and very solid. Most of the food is gluten free but you would never miss it -- so it's great for people who need to avoid gluten. A very fun night out!

    One of the great neighborhood-y restaurants of SF. Actually feels a bit like being in New England. Always excellent food and service, and a very creative menu. A family favorite.
