    I didn’t like that we were put into a room in a corner that was very off putting. I asked to have flowers put on the table beforehand and that never happened. Granted the food tasted delicious I was upset at the food being room temperature. We had a manager come in and ask about our encounter but I didn’t want to point out my issues in front of my date or a room full of people for that matter. I’ve lived in Panama City my whole life born and raised this is my 3rd time being here . I’ve never had a membership account until now. Also have never had a issue such as this since I’ve been here in the past 8 years since they have been opened and closed due to unforseeen circumstances. I was extremely disappointed and given the money you pay for food and experience it’s sad to say I won’t be coming here again. I’d rather go out of town.

    Service was great except kitchen got backed up so we had a long wait between appetizer and main course. Escargot was just a little on the bland side so that’s why 4 stars. Wife had a white fish special which was excellent and husband had stuffed filet cooked perfect. Crème brûlée to finish the night. Ambiance was beautiful in the main dining area under the lit tree. Overall a wonderful night and great staff.

    Always had been a 'must do' on our trips to PCB. Even when it was Canopie's across the bay. Was not wonderful a couple years ago. So happy we went back to try it again! It was back to being a lovely dining experience & food was awesome!

    Firefly is an amazing restaurant. The steak is the best I've had from any restaurant. Servers are very attentive and service is quite fast. One thing I found great is that even though it upscale, the dress code is casual.

    Everything was excellent. We came to firefly to celebrate my birthday. We had the Kobe beef bruschetta as an app, amazing. I had the pepper crusted filet and my honey had the regular filet both were cooked to perfection! Reshawn was our server, he had excellent knowledge of the menu and we never needed for anything. He was always two steps ahead. Couldn’t ask for a better night!

    Absolutely amazing!!! The food was a 10/10! We tried the stuffed filet and ribeye and they were so delicious! The filet was the most tender filet I have ever had. I actually just reheated my leftovers and it’s still as tender and delicious as it was last night. We also had the caesar salad and sushi that were delicious as well. Along with the three different spreads that are served with bread. I read previous reviews about the service being poor or slow, but we had a wonderful experience. I could see where someone might complain about the service being slow, but I appreciated how our appetizers, bread, and meal were spaced out so we had time to enjoy each. Also, every time I saw an employee they were doing their job. I never saw a single employee standing around twiddling their thumbs. Very impressed!

    Starting with bread and butter from the beginning… outstanding. There was 6 in are party. All but myself had steaks and all were cooked perfectly. The appetizers consisted of crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and calamari were outstanding. The Caesers salad over the top. The waiter and his assist were on top, smiling, available, all you could ask for with service. I would definitely return and with a reservation. Their sushi bar looked incredible as we were walking out.

    I’ve wanted to eat here for years, finally had the sense to make reservations. The whole experience was positive. The atmosphere is magical with the tree and firefly lights. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was better than we imagined. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to give it a chance :)

    We always enjoy and look forward to our dinners at Firefly and last night was no exception. From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable! Cecilia our server was delightful and very engaging. We had our favorite she crab soup and the hypertonic salad. Our entrees were equally as good , my husband had the 8 oz filet and I had Kobe beef bruschetta. An expresso martini was dessert for my husband, I enjoyed the watermelon sorbet. Wonderful evening and we were so happy to see Lance as well who we used to request as our server. Don’t miss a chance to eat at Firefly!

    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.

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.
