    Poor service waitress did not return to our table after we were seated for 23 minutes and no where to be found. We decided to leave and told the front hostess and they did not seem very concerned when my husband mentioned it on his way out.

    Just keeps getting better & better - really, really would like to have the good old tomato bisque and hot dogs back on the menu (or a way to give regulars a heads up when they’re on special)!

    It was our first tie at Firefly. The food was good but I was surprised that they had no raw veggies available at all. We ordered the gorgonzola fondue and I thought it would work well with some carrots or celery. All of the food was good. (soba noodles, short ribs, fish and risotto) The service however was incredibly slow. It took 75 minutes (yes - you read that correctly 1 h and 15 min) after we arrived for us to get the appetizers. We arrived at 6:30 (with reservation) and left there around 9 PM, The drinks came after 45 mins. The water was only filled once and that was on request. This was on a Tuesday night - the weekends might be even slower. You should go there if you are not super hungry and want to chat. It is a good place for that.

    The short rib with mashed potatoes was delicious and full of flavor. The lobster squash ravioli with bacon maple sauce was mind-blowing, and the service was outstanding!
