    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.

    We really enjoyed the music, environment, and service at Verse. What blew us away was the quality of every dish we had. My wife is not a desert person and I had to fight her over the chocolate cake and carmel desert. delish!

    Our waitress was awesome despite there being challenges with our dining experience. I always choose a ribeye cut of steak and asked for it to be cooked medium. My steak wasn’t very marbled, nor juicy. It was overcooked as well. Tough to cut. The sides were nice tho. The WiFi went down, which we then had to fill out paperwork to be charged. It felt a little unnerving seeing that cc theft is so high.
