I reserved firefly to celebrate my anniversary. I’m so glad I did because the whole experience was wonderful. I’m giving four stars for the service, because where it was lacking was upon entering the restaurant the hostess was not warm or welcoming at all. She did not smile or even make eye contact at all. We were seated immediately and walked through the very sophisticated looking lounge/bar. The setting outside is beautiful, dimly lit and beautifully decorated. We were seated next to the busy kitchen and restroom which was ok, but clearly not the best option. We ordered the charcuterie board which was delightful. It had the perfect mix of salamis, prosciutto and French cheeses. For the entree I had the branzino with asparagus and baby new potatoes. The fish was done to perfection and tasted amazing. My hubby had the filet mignon which was also done to perfection and just the way he likes it, medium well. The dessert was delicious, a sticky toffee pudding with pecans, walnuts and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Pineapple Express cocktail was also delicious. Overall a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend to celebrate any special occasion.

The pasta carbonara was probably the best I've had anywhere. The drinks were perfection. And the chocolate cake stole the show. It was by far the best I've ever had.

One of my favorite spots! I always have the best experience here. The food, atmosphere, and service never disappoint. Mercedes and her team always make sure everything is amazing. It’s always one of my top recommendations and I’ll never get tired of coming back!

We were seated in the bar area which was great because we were able to watch the Kings game while we were there. I ordered a Cadillac Margarita which was perfect! My hubby ordered the skirt steak fajitas, which he enjoyed very much. I ordered a two-item combo plate with a crispy beef taco and a chile relleno. Both were delicious! We hope to return soon and enjoy another evening of delicious food and drinks while watching another game.
