The kitchen is the heart of the Campbell house which is why we created an expedition kitchen so customers can see all of the love and hard work that goes into our dishes. firefly's vision is a sustainable one; the frame of the building is recycled steel, all of the barn wood is reclaimed as is much of our furniture, the pond irrigates our gardens which greatly reduce our carbon footprint along with all the trash that comes with packaging food, we compost, are constantly upgrading our energy efficiency and NEVER use chemical fertilizers or pesticides in our garden.

    King crab and shrimp stew was fantastic and filet was one of the best I’ve ever had. I could cut it with a fork!

    Fantastic service. Fantastic food. Fifty bucks for a pour of Pappy 15 year…. I feel like that’s kinda steep! There was also a random surcharge added to our tab with no explanation.
