absolument pas, tragique. I came here with some friends of mine for a bite, wanted to try something new. Needless to say, whether or not the food is any good this woman, who turns out is the owner, ruined our entire experience. I'm not sure exactly what was going on, but she was horrible! I don't know how she got started talking to one of the guys in my group but she was such a B*TCH! and potentially heavily medicated? Or definitely super drunk! She was slurring her words together, complaining about business, we were all just looking at each other horrified and we had barely settled in to look at a menu!!! She was just a disgusting mess, we were so turned off by her behavior we left without even placing a drink order. Business is 80% communication and people skills, 20% actual talent or product. If the 80% is so ill you never make it to experience the 20%... well enough said.…
Freindly, Great Drinks, Great Food, Fun Atmosphere.
I've been going here for 2 years, and other than an 8 month stretch with a marginal chef (all fixed now), it's a weekly event.
Generous martini's, attentive staff that remembers your name, your drink, good food... The fish and chips are a must if they're on special.
It's a great haunt on Monday night when most other places are closed, and the kitchen is open late most nights. Attracts a great crowd. Weekend nights can get crowded or noisy.
Overall, it's a friendly, comfortable place, and while not cheap, it's a good value. Your martini may cost $11, but it come in a glass big enough to make any drag queen's hands look small! Food portions are moderate, but extremely well flavored.
Go twice and you'll be treated like family..
Great for romantic dinners, or eating at the bar.…
Impress your date ..... Firefly is one of my routine "take a date to dinner" spots - You cant go wrong with the service, the delightful food presentation / portion control and the price. And yes, a MARTINI is a MUST! PS - as you progress into the later hours, weekend visitors get a little louder as the night goes on (oh, it could be the wonderful Martini's)…
great atmosphere. yum yum. Truley one of my favorites in town for food. Ive been here alot and have never been disappointed, pricey but well worth it, service is great and accomidating as well.
The tango Maureen...... WOW! This place is wonderful! We were at Minibar and were looking to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back to our hotel and our server recommended this little place almost right next door, FireFly. Well lemme tell ya kiddies, this place is the cat's a$$ - perfect drinks, wonderful food (a great mix of dressed up comfort food as well as more complex entrees) and the waitstaff/batenders/owner - WONDERFUL PEOPLE! Sarah has herself an awesome group here people, from Maureen (my love), to Ray, to Mr. Jeff. Put it this way, we were in Chicago for the weekend and had dinner there both nights - enough said. A whole buncha thumbs through the roof.…
