- PPatriciaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoCame to Firefly for a family Christmas celebration. Only 3 people so our server was able to keep on top of refills, special requests, etc. Hubby loves fine dining and thoroughly enjoyed his meal! Grandchild tried a new food (for them) and was pleasantly surprised at how great it was. I appreciated the variety of the menu even though I stuck to my favorite, Steak! Of course the desserts were luscious. Firefly will be our 'extra special' destination in the future.More infoFirefly GrillPrice: Moderate• Unspecified• Effingham•4.8
