About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Gluten-free-friendly

We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.

Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

The desert which was pricy was the tiniest piece of key lime pie I have ever seen!!! Two of us were going to split it and it was a tablespoon?

Terrific variety of vegetarian options. Very pleasantly surprised that we could hear each other while conversing. One main entree was outstanding - the risotto croquette with zucchini and bean stew. Wow!

Great food. Gluten free for most everything with a staff that knows what they are doing when it comes to celiac.

I hadn’t been to the restaurant in a while - well it remains in my estimation one of the best restaurants in Noe Valley. The food was delicious, and service friendly and attentive. It was a surprise to learn that my gluten free guest had access to almost all the dishes on the menu!

This is consistently the BEST birthday celebration choices for our small group of friends. It is truly one of the most delicious and allergy-accomodating restuarants in the city. I can not recommend this restaurant enough for the gluten-free and vegan community. And the waitstaff is INCREDIBLY KIND, knowledgeable and CUTE! For meat eaters the fried chicken is so dang juicy and that spicy sauce on the side is brilliant. And holy butterscotch banana cake....be still my heart. Thank you for your wonderfulness, Firefly. Yippppeeee it's my birthday next so see ya again in a few months!!

I am very lucky to live within walking distance of this excellent restaurant! The food, the service, the ambience, and again, the food are outstanding. My sincere compliments to the chef. Everything is delicious. I recommend starting with the cheesy rolls and daikon radish cakes. (I don’t even like radishes but that dish is absolutely delicious). Plus, my gluten-free friend can eat almost every delightful item on the menu! That alone is pretty magical. A meal at Firefly is always a great pleasure.

This place is great if one or more in your party is vegetarian. Several tasty options that are well designed, not just an afterthought to cover bases.

The food is always was fantastic. They’re creative vegetarian dishes are always phenomenal. Classics like that fried chicken, mac & cheese, their vegetarian enchiladas, and the crusted trout were all top-notch. Always leave room for dessert. The Keylime pie was incredible and the chocolate brownie sundae fit for grown-ups. One star offer for ambience Because we were in the parklet and it was cold. The new heaters aren’t as efficient and of course the wind was whipping so that didn’t help.
