   The food was ok. I ordered the swordfish which was unfortunately overcooked. My wife ordered the fried chicken parmesan which was undercooked (most of the batter was still raw). We also ordered the jumbo shrimp which was good but not very substantial.

   Firefly has started charging a $7 service fee per each visit. when we asked what this was related to, as we thought it was due to credit card charges, we were told it was due to cost of increase in food and wages. we were very surprised by this as what they charge for food is already astronomic. $18 for a bowl of french onion soup....this is rediculous. ordered the Montana Mignon...very try and unseasoned. my husband had the lobster risotto, again no seasoning and very runny. will not be making any trips back there anytime soon. Head to other local towns where there are better choices of restaurants a little less expensive and better food.

   Firefly GrillResponded todayThank you for your review. We hate to hear you didn't enjoy your visit. We add a 5% service charge to all of our checks as indicated on our menu to preserve your firefly experience while ensuring a living wage for all of our employees. 100% of this addition goes directly to our team who care deeply for all of you and your time with us at firefly. Again, we apologize for the misunderstanding, but we understand your decision.

    Firefly has the best food around. We were out for a special occasion but went with staple items on the menu. Staff did a bang up job. Ticket price is steep for the area, BUT value is there. Had charcuterie for an app, entrees were sea bass, scallop risotto, and bangers & mash. Dessert was crème brûlée. We will come back and recommend others to get a reservation on Open Table to enjoy this place.

    No Vegan agenda here but…..menu says “many offerings can accommodate Vegan and other special diets. Our server will guide you to a special choice” Nope server said Nothing Off Menu Tried to order Hummus sandwich which is on lunch menu but it was dinner time Ordered hummus appetizer instead which was 85% of Hummus Sandwich Many turned out to be zero and really you couldn’t have just made the sandwich or was that too special Or maybe the living wage can’t accommodate preparing a sandwich on a lunch menu at 6:30

    Firefly GrillResponded 6 days agoHi Christian... Thank you so much for your honest review. We hate to hear you didn't have the best experience with us when searching for a vegan entree. We do offer custom items to those with special requests, so we hate to hear the line of communication was broken. We will be working with your serving and our entire Front of House team to ensure this isn't a problem in the future. Again, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and thank you for your visit.

    Food and service were exceptional. The only negative note was that we were seated on and in adequately heated porch, despite having made a reservation. Loved the shrimp risotto.

    Firefly GrillResponded on March 13, 2023Thanks for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed your shrimp risotto. Our sunset porch is one of our most sought after seating areas, however, it's not for everyone. In the future, please note you prefer our main dining room, and we would be happy to accommodate!

    The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star review across the board was that I was a bit disappointed with the Chicken Parmesan sandwich (the truffle fries were great!) The red sauce was a bit scant so you really didn't get the flavor in the sandwich, and the piece of chicken was very thick. While done perfectly, the piece was so thick it was very hard to handle. The other two people I was dining with had the shrimp patty sandwich and they couldn't say enough good things about it. And finally, the bread pudding was to die for. So overall, the experience was very positive. I frequent Firefly regularly, my cousin joins we as often as she can (she had to drive over 100 miles to get there), and it was the first visit for the third member of our party. We're talking about making this a regular outing.

    Firefly GrillResponded on March 13, 2023Thanks for the wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit. We appreciate your feedback on our chicken parmesan sandwich and will send your comments to our back of house team to see how we can make improvements. We know not every dish will be for everyone, but always want to make sure we are serving the best of the best. We can't wait to see you again soon... Cheers!

    Excellent as always--I had the swordfish special--the fish was cooked perfectly and although I'm not a big fan of lentils, the lentil salad it was served on was so good it could be served by itself--the feta and olives added a brininess that was so good. Less successful was the soft shell crab taco. While the crab was cooked well and was crispy and delicious, the kitchen substituted some kind of micro green for the lettuce, and the stems were stringy and tough which detracted from the dish. The salsa and creme fresh was either missing or negligible. The service was impeccable. I always enjoy a meal at The Firefly when I'm in the area and highly recommend it to others.

    Firefly GrillResponded on February 27, 2023Thank you so much for the great review, Rochelle! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit with us.

    Went for a romantic dinner. Was seated at a long bench type table which was separated into tables for two but we were so close that there was hardly enough room to get into your seat. Service was slow but seemed to be due to short staffing. Food was good, but overpriced.

    For two days they have a menu for Valentine’s Day, it’s this tasting menu where for 4 courses you could pay 70 or with wine it’s 90, you’d think oh it’s Valentine’s Day that price is for couples etc, it’s not it’s FOR EACH PERSON. Not to mention the food??? The appetizer we chose was the ramen, although delicious as can be, it would’ve been nice to have a little more than a LITERAL bite of noodles that’s it, a singular bite. The salad was subpar, I dont get rich people food, you made me eat salad with a stupid knife cause the leaves were entirely too large, it was difficult to eat. For entrees my husband got the duck, skin was rubber taste was bland no flavor and the winter vegetables around it was just as bad. I had the tenderloin which was dry, bland, chewy and tough I had to wash it down with a chocolate martini. Overall I won’t be going back during their Valentine’s Day menus or special menus in general. I’m going to stick with their original menu where I know my Montana mignon will be delicious and not 170$ for BS

    The front of house guy was over the top fantastic.. Not an empty seat in the entire place… he made sure we had water, grabbed us some drinks and kept the mood light for the extra time it took with it being a busy Saturday night. We couldn’t be more thankful for his extra care in making sure our experience was perfect with our little diner in tow. Thank you so much! We miss the crab cakes, however the filets were yummy as always!
