We heard there was a new chef here which concerned us. The menu has changed and sadly the meatloaf or meatballs with mashed potatoes are no longer on the menu. That said the burger and fries are still good as was the ceasar salad. The Digby martini was also very good although slightly sweeter than prior times. The pickled beets cocktail was delicious.

Food and service were great! We do appreciated how the menu works for people who are omnivores, vegans, lactose-intolerant, gluten-free…and everything was DELICIOUS. We loved that everyone could find something to eat, and we could even share appetizers with restrictions. The wine list is also fantastic, loved the Chenin Blanc we ordered. Service was attentive and warm, decor is timeless. Firefly is a classic SF spot for a reason!

Excellent service from beginning to end. Our waiter was superb. Food was heavenly as always. Always a special treat to celebrate occassions here. Disappointed though they don’t do the complimentary birthday desserts anymore. We ordered desserts but HOPR used to also do a fun little free birthday dessert for the birthday guests.
