Firefly

my girlfriend surprised me by bringing me here for dinner.I must say it was a nice restaurant. it doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you walk in, it's a whole different scene. the food was really great and alcoholic beverages. it's a little pricey, but it's worth every penny. my girlfriend got the filet mignon, and I got the salmon. we also ordered the charcuterie and Russell sprouts and fries. hey, we were hungry, lol overall, we had a great experience

Grade B+ (88): The main reason for the 4 stars was that I made a reservation, requested to be by the fireplace or close to it, I made the reservation in advance, also early in the evening and arrived on time, yet they still didn't even put us in the same hall as the fireplace, we were in the patio, even though there were some open spots. The food was good, the Steak Frites were not traditional, they used filet mignon that was very good, so I just put the fries next to the steak in that Delicious sauce and enjoyed it. We also had the wild caught Salmon, which I also tasted and it was very good. Arugula salad was also good considering it had apples and pomegranate, but you can always not eat those. You have to be careful not to miss the place because there is no sign!! Just a cocktail glass neon, I Guess they don't care about people driving by to be curious about the place and Google it. Parking was on the street, it valet. Street parking is hard to find so valet it was

After patronizing this beautiful wine bar for years, when I was younger, I went there for dinner with my good friend for the first time in a long time. It is just as cute as I remembered it and as crowded as ever. The servers were very kind, and the food came out at a good rate. My friend and I were a bit dissatisfied with the plates we ordered: the crispy olive appetizer, little gem salad, french fries, and white fish dish. With the prices each dish toted, we expected something a little better. Maybe the best thing we ate was this chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. And, thankfully, the spicy margaritas were great. All in all, I would recommend this place for drinks, snacks, and a good time, but not so much for a good meal.

We Ordered All the Vegan Options at Firefly (with Photos) Our mission was to savor every vegan dish offered, while I also couldn't resist sampling one non-vegan plate to understand the depth of flavors. Firefly, a non-vegan restaurant in Studio City, surprised us with a diverse range of vegan offerings, mostly found in side dishes and appetizers. Eager to experience the executive chef's take on vegan cuisine, we booked a reservation and indulged in all the options, ordering more than we could eat. Dish 1: Farmers Market Salad A perfect balance of acidity, nutty richness, and a touch of sweetness from the green grapes surprised us in the most delightful way. Each bite offered a harmonious fusion of flavors, making it an instant favorite and a must-order to kickstart your appetite. Dish 2: Heirloom Tomato & Burrata (minus the burrata lol) Customizing the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata to align with our vegan preferences by omitting the cheese, we indulged in a vibrant plate of fresh, semi-dried, and fermented tomatoes, adorned with sweet black olive jam, fresh basil, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The absence of burrata didn't dampen our excitement as the tomatoes offered bursts of flavor, harmoniously balanced by the sweet olive jam and the refreshing touch of basil. Dish 3: Baby Carrots These Baby Carrots, served with hummus and kaffir lime kosho, proved to be a ‘holy cow, YUM’ experience! The hummus was creamy and perfectly balanced and the kaffir lime kosho was the bell of the ball - it elevated the entire experience with its mind-blowing sour and salty taste. Whether you're a hummus lover or a vegan enthusiast, this dish is a must-try that will leave you craving for more. Dish 4: Hand-Cut Frites Despite this small indulgence, it was undoubtedly a side dish that should not be missed. Each thick-cut fry boasted a golden brown hue and a satisfying crunch that paired perfectly with the parsley and garlic seasoning. Throughout the meal, we found ourselves reaching for more, savoring every crispy bite. Dish 5: Garlic Smashed Potatoes The Garlic Smashed Potatoes were a unique and impressive vegan side dish. The perfectly cooked potatoes offered a savory experience that pleased our palates. The true star of the dish, however, was the luscious saffron aioli that the potatoes sat atop. We were very pleased as creamy sides are a rarity at non-vegan restaurants. Dish 6: Brussels Sprouts The Brussels Sprouts were a surprising and captivating fusion of flavors. Enhanced with sweet and sour chili sauce, roasted grapes, and vegan bacon, this vegan dish showcased the brilliant combination of vegetables and fruit. The pleasant bitterness of the Brussels sprouts paired surprisingly well with the roasted red grapes, creating a symphony of flavors that delighted our taste buds. Dish 7: Fried Eggplant The Fried Eggplant, drizzled with date syrup and served with green chili cilantro sauce, left us in awe. The green chili cilantro sauce, with its earthy, bright, and beautifully spicy kick, quickly earned its place among our top three favorite dishes of the night. Dish 8: Atlantic Salmon (non-vegan dish, for me) Firefly's Atlantic Salmon, served with eggplant puree, king oyster mushrooms, crispy sesame leaves, ginger relish, and dashi sauce, stood out as a culinary masterpiece that even delighted the vegan palate. The salmon was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor, while the vegan elements of the dish proved equally sensational. Overview: At Firefly, the exceptional service from our server, Haily, added to the dining experience. Her sweet and engaging demeanor, combined with her attentive care throughout the night, made the evening even more memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant, especially on the patio with the roof retracted, embraced the lovely LA summer night, setting the stage for a remarkable dining adventure. The chef's ingenuity shone through each plate, and we extend our appreciation to the entire team for a truly unforgettable experience.

Amazing service and great food! When asked if we were celebrating anything, we responded to the hostess that we just got married. The server greeted us with “congratulations” and we received complimentary drinks. Such a nice way to start off our dinner. Everything we had was so delicious. The customer service and food, amazing. We got the steak frites and chicken entree, would definitely recommend. The cocktails were great as well, I would recommend the Pineapple express.
