    While the food and ambience are great here, today I was disappointed in the service. OpenTable users beware - they will not accept your dining rewards here although they claim to do so. They told me the dining rewards card declined, but upon calling the card company, their system showed that the server never attempted to use it. The lie left a very bad taste in my mouth.

    Lovely place and the ambiance and servers are wonderful. We went for brunch and our server was a delight and super helpful! The drinks were great, but my food was unfortunately not. I had the shrimp and grits which was covered in sauce and so wet that the grits lost texture and the flavor was drowned out. That said, my friend had the egg white scramble which was fine. We will be back, but I’ll be trying a different dish.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Firefly on a recent Friday evening. I don’t live near Firefly but I have dined there from time to time since they first opened 25 years ago and the food, service and ambiance have always been excellent. We enjoyed so much the crab cake and the salmon entree was expertly prepared as well as delicious. A bottle of delicious French Chabils complimented everything perfectly and the courtyard ambiance was very plesant.
