Editorial Review for Firefly – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
The price point at this funky little lounge is refreshingly low for the neighborhood, and the intimate space allows just enough elbow room. Black lacquer tables, tomato-red walls and cozy booths give the place a sexy, nocturnal vibe, and a club-ready Boys Town crowd packs in for late, late dining.

The Food
Firefly's bistro menu deftly mingles French-inspired nibbles with old-fashioned comfort food. Just about every app is a crowd-pleaser: creamy Parmesan deviled eggs, succulent escargot en croute, and a charcuterie plate with imported cheeses paired with pepper salami, caper berries and pearl onions. For entrees, salmon is simple, falling-apart tender and paired with crunchy vegetables. For vegetarians, there's a colorful veggie and goat cheese sandwich. Steak sandwich is a delicious study of textures, with tender steak, creamy blue cheese fondue and fried onions on chewy ciabatta bread.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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)

Pros: The Filet

Cons: Noisy later into an eveing

4 Star Rating: Recommended
