Firefly Restaurant

There is an old saying by a very wise man: Location, location, location! And this place has location! But also this place offers a service like no other, or as the french say "Le bien location" the good location! Food is wonderful! We started with roast peppers and the fresh catch of the day! I wasn't sure what it was, but it was wonderful! Next I tried the dessert...yes I am one who loves many desserts and I liked this one too! Try this place! more

Firefly was my introduction to truly great California cooking: subtly perfect flavors, incredibly fresh local ingredients, and effortless fusion of cuisines from all over the world. We've had everything from sushi to old-fashioned meatloaf here, and the kitchen never falters. The tasty lentil spread that comes with the bread (in lieu of butter) is a delectable touch, and the shrimp & scallop potstickers alone are worth the trip. Overall the experience is food as an art form - but without the fancy trappings of a more formal restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and homey, like having dinner at a friend's house. My only nitpick would be the host/hostess, who can be a little snooty if you don't look like a Noe Valley type - I made my first visit as a frumpy college student, and we waited 20 minutes despite having a reservation. more

Firefly is one of those restaurants...once you've been there, you can't forget it, and you can't wait to go back. Firefly's menu changes weekly, but always features delicious American comfort food dishes like fried chicken, lamb shank, and fish. Great lighting and attentive service make this an awesome spot for a date, friends, or family. more
