    We were unfamiliar with Firefly but, based on a good rating from YELP! we decided to try it. There were 5 of us for dinner and the food was outstanding. We opted for the 3 course fixed price menu and each dish was excellent. The waiters were friendly and attentive. The portions were generous enough so that we left satisfied but not stuffed. We'll definitely be back.

    Our waiter was phenomenal. The food was unbelievable.Everybody got something different . We all cleaned our plates. I haven't cleaned a plate at a restaurant in 15 years. The roasted chicken and potatoes with the broccoli was perfect.The sauce was incredible, the salmon with the corn.The hamburger and Caesar salad.We tried all of the desserts.It was just perfect. And don't get me started on their pretzel bites with queso. 🌟🌟🌟🤩 The atmosphere was just adorable. They have several wax figures posted throughout the restaurant and it was just a lot of fun and that it was outside the heat lamps.It was just perfect. I wish this restaurant much much success. We are locals and we will be back.

    Went with a group which half were fans of the show and half have never heard of it or the restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the cocktails and the food. We tried different cocktails and had appetizers, salads and main courses. We had a great time and enjoyed it all. The atmosphere was definitely unique and the staff was very friendly and excellent service. Peter and Guillermo were there the night we visited and both were so gracious with everyone we saw that wanted a photo with them. It is quite pricey tho so be ready for that. We walked around the restaurant to check out the other rooms and it was fun to see it all, and feel the different vibes from the pink room to the garden room in the back. Well done Lisa V
