Firefly Restaurant

Our meal was at once traditional and inspired. These plates are thoughtfully put together and the flavors compliment one another to the last bite. Every appetizer was imaginative and outrageously delicious. We could have made a meal of appetizers alone. No nonsense main courses were delicately prepared, perfectly unfussy and served in the coziest/most romantic of environments (thanks to the genial host/owner whose attention to guests and cuisine betray a well seasoned perfectionist). No wonder this star has shone so brightly for so long. more

Delicious food and good service! Homey, warm atmosphere - a hidden gem in the Noe Valley area! Pros: Good parking, Innovative dishes more

I'm quite surprised to see ANY negative reviews of this place. I loved Firefly...from the decor to the food to the service. The seafood potstickers are addictive. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were just like Mom's. The dessert was a chocaholic's dream come true. The restaurant got a little warm, but it was buzzing with happy diners. I wish we had a place like this in MY neighborhood, I would eat there constantly. Fun, comfy, delicious, a great place to take a date. Pros: great waitresses, outstanding food, neighborhood feel Cons: a little too warm more

My wife and I had dinner here on a recent trip to San Francisco. We laughed and had fun from the minute we arrived. Our waitress was a hoot. She had us call her Rock Star and kept us laughing the whole night. The wine list was excellent, the tuna was very fresh and perfectly prepared. I am puzzled by some of the negative reviews here. Granted, the edgy style might not be up everyone's alley, but it was perfect for me. Thanks Rock Star. Pros: Service, Food, Prices more

Firefly could have been so much better. The first taste of disappointment came with the bread that was brought to the table, accompanied by a mysterious, gritty lentil spread. I had the ahi tuna salad as a starter. The tuna was delicious but was overwhelmed by the bitter greens that accompanied. Main course rib eye was properly cooked and the sauce and grilled asparagus were very good, but the steak itself was heavy on fat and gristle and the twice-baked potato was dry enough to have been baked 6 times. Desserts were very good, by contrast, and I tasted both the molten chocolate torte and the vanilla crème brulée. Service was attentive and friendly. Price would be reasonable if the food was better. Pros: dessert, service Cons: food quality more

we went for the first time to celebrate a special occasion, not only did we not recieve special treatment we didn't even recieve GOOD treatment. our server was snotty and busy chowing down a salad and a glass of wine with the bartender. when asked how our meal was we answered honestly, to no avail. no one made any attempt to compensate for a fatty steak, a dry potato and poor service. i feel sorry for the owners. Cons: snotty service, overpriced food, tasteless food more
