    Our little family always enjoys a night out at Firefly Grill. Bread service & crab purses are always a great way to kick off a meal. The crab purses are very crab forward which is perfect! Light and delicious way to kick off dinner. Our toddler loves sprinkling Parmesan on his Cheese Ditalini. It’s creamy, buttery and adding a little Parmesan gives it the bit of salt he loves. The choice of ditalini pasta is great! The stubby tiny tube shape pasta is great for babies exploring finger foods, easy for them to pick up with their little hands…for toddlers, super easy to scoop using a spoon or fork… the flavor is simple, clean and loved by all ages. I had the 4oz filet prepared medium and it was amazing… paired with a fresh veg mix- al dente, seasoned to perfection with a creamy buttery whipped potato that was simply perfect. The rest of my little family ordered the shrimp cakes which were a fantastic, very generous portion, plate of yummy. The lightest crispest fry on the shrimp cakes allows for that yummy crunch you look for when you bite into it without taking away from the delicate delicious shrimp flavor.. served with truffle fries… yum! Nothing but praise for the perfect meal once again. Our waiter was amazing! His attention to detail was fantastic, service was on point allowing for our little guy to enjoy the experience. We had planned to have dessert but with all the amazing appetizers and dinner we were pleasantly stuffed. We ended our dinner by going outside on the deck, watching the sun begin to set, while feeding fish food to the turtles, koi and catfish eagerly swimming by for a snack. It’s this wonderful combination of amazing service, atmosphere, delicious food and adorable fish and turtles…. that will keep Firefly at the top of our list for dining out!

    My second time back, because the first time was surprisingly very good. They delivered a great experience again, so I’ll be back.
