Nice restaurant with tasty food. Great bar and cocktails that were reasonably priced. Service was outstanding. The blueberry cobbler was to die for. Only negative was how loud it was, very hard to have conversation, but will still would definitely go back.

Initially our night didn’t start off on the right foot as our reservation got lost. That happens with technology, and firefly management and staff were amazing once they discovered the hiccup. The food was great and the night ended on a good note. Recommendations: valet, try the steak frites and the white chocolate crème brûlée.
