"I went to Firefly for the second time during Restaurant Week. I was very impressed with the food yet again. Our meals were amazing! The menu was fixed so it was more affordable than the normal menu which is a bit pricy. Request to sit in the main room with the fireplace, didn't like the smaller room. One thing that I was not happy about was the fact that the owner did not honor the pricing of the menu that was (and still is) displayed on the Restaurant Week website. The Ring Ding was supposed to be an additional charge of $8 but we paid $15 even after it was brought to the owner's attention. It left a sour taste in my mouth which was a shame after such a good meal. The Ring Ding was amazing by the way, despite it's ridiculous cost."

"The food at Firefly is a work of art and just delicious. The chefs are excellent. The service is very good and the waitstaff friendly, not snobby. I would recommend Firefly to anyone wanting a great dining experience. Just make sure to make reservations as it is hard to get a walk-in spot as it has become more known,"
