Firefly

04/13/2008 Posted by MUSCLEPRICK

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

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.

Pros: Grilled Cheese, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and the CREPES!!!!!

Cons: a little small, but would rather it be just like it is than change a thing.

Overall, the place has atmosphere & most of the waitstaff was friendly, but our meal was great we were seated & served by the owner (great hands on treatment). With so many great places in Lakeview This is the palce to go

Overall, the place has atmosphere & most of the waitstaff was friendly, but our meal tasted bad and when we sent it back & ordered something else, we were treated rudely by the owner. With so many great places in Lakeview and surrounding areas, why would you go here? Thumbs down!

Pros: Convenient to bar scene on Halsted Street

Cons: Below-average food

My boyfriend and I stopped by for dinner because of the cute decor and outdoor seating, and when we saw the deviled eggs appetizer on the menu, there were almost tears in our eyes--I'm a Virginia girl and they are my favorite picnic food. The Firefly deviled eggs did not disappoint. Our entrees were pretty good (not fantastic, but good) and the martinis are great and nicely priced. But the deviled eggs are the real attraction and will keep us coming back.

Pros: I'll say it again-deviled eggs; ambience; friendly crowd

Cons: not the best burger in town

I was looking for a nice romantic place to take my boyfriend. The lighting and booths worked out perfectly. The menu was small, which disappointed me at first. But the food we ordered was incredible. I was not let down at all. The waiter was also helpful when we were deciding on what bottle of wine to order, even though the place was crazy busy. Overall it was a good experience.

Pros: Good customer service, great food, great wine

Cons: Small place, kind of loud, kind of expensive (but worth it)

A personal favorite, although on the pricey side - it's the only place I've ever really felt like a $9 martini was well priced. Great date spot, booths have curtains you can draw. Located right at the epicenter of Boystown, but wouldn't be out of place in any other city neighborhood.

Pros: Great drinks, grilled cheese sandwiches are to die for

Cons: Expensive, sometimes hard to get a table/no reservations accepted

FireFly has become our kitchen away from home! There's nothing better than a GREAT martini (or, vodka on the rocks with a twist), and FABULOUS food to go with it! ...not only do we enjoy the weekly specials that are unveiled every Wednesday, but we also LOVE FireFly's tried and true food - the duck spring rolls, the spinach salad, a hamburger, the chicken and brie sandwhich - the menu is endless. If there's room, look at the dessert list - it's delicious. The friendly staff makes going to FireFly a weekly event... Sarah has created a treasure on Halsted!

Pros: friendly staff, reasonably priced, MARTINIS!

Firefly is the best place on Halstead. The food is better than expected. Try the steak sandwich or the filet. The martinis could cost $15.00, but they only charge $9.00. The ambience is warm and inviting. The staff is great. The staff is full of experienced and talented people who love their job. It isn't really the place for children, but with a couple martinis it becomes an adult paradise.

Pros: Great Food, Unmatched Martinis, Ambience
