    From the moment that we walked in, it was truly an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Sometimes, as adults, we just need a night out and Firefly is the perfect place!

    Rice rolls and main courses were excellent. O8r server, Andrew, provided excellent service. Two negatives--Firefly is now charging a 3.5% surcharge when using a credit card. This is the equivalent of $7 on a $200 check. Also, the expresso machine was down and we could not end the evening with a cappuccino.

    Firefly is an excellent dinner choice. This was our second time dining here this month. From appetizers to the main entree and dessert, it’s all delicious. The bourbon is grossly overpriced, but everything else is industry standard as far as costs but does exceed In presentation and taste. We had great servers BOTH visits. Byron makes great recommendations and Demar was very attentive! Look forward to our next visit. Dinner for 2 with an appetizer, meal, one cocktail each and gratuity ran 200.00.

    Our She Crab Soup was delicious but my Cesear Salad was not good. It had too much dressing and was in some type of edible cup that reminded me of Mexican food. My husband’s lettuce wedge was not a wedge and had too much dressing. His grouper was extremely bland. The bread was delicious. We had excellent service.

    My wife and I dined at Firefly for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. We made our reservation weeks in advance with great anticipation. Our experience exceeded our every expectation. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming, our server Andrew was absolutely stellar. Our meals were absolutely delectable. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our dining experience and we'll definitely return for another dining experience and special request Andrew as our server.

    We’ve dined at Firefly multiple times over the past 10 years of visiting PCB 2-3 x per year and the food has always been fantastic. The past several times he service has been lacking based on previous experiences. We waited several minutes to be greeted, which isn’t a huge issue, but would have liked to be acknowledged. We did order immediately as we had plenty of time to browse the menu. Starters were delivered with no spoon for soup. Server showed up @ 5 min later with bread and a spoon so it was not as fresh. Entrees were very good but don’t know if we will return as it doesn’t have the same “dining experience “ we used to enjoy as a splurge.

    I have on my profile that I have a nut allergy. When I ordered the grouper, I asked if the pesto sauce was made with nuts due to my nut allergy. Waiter kindly confirmed there were not. I ordered the flourless chocolate torte to go and it was brought with a chocolate and nut crumble on the side. I asked for one without and if there were any nuts in the torte. I was brought a new one and told it was nut free. My 4 girlfriends and I went home. I took one bite at home to realize the entire crust was crushed nuts!!! Had to take medication immediately to prevent anaphylactic reaction/swelling. Your Chef was NEGLIGENT at best. Do better!!!

The service at the bar and at the table were exceptional as was the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Firefly and look forward to dining there again on my next visit to PCB.
