We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.

Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

    I haven't been to Firefly in a year or so - and the food and service continues to be outstanding. I was extremely disappointed to see they've followed the pack of adding a 6% SF Health (which is not mandated by the city, but is a way for restaurants to hide what is effectively an increase in their price - and theirs is higher than I've seen elsewhere). Why should restaurants add such a fee while other stores subject to the same regulations do not? As a result of that junk fee which I see as a form of false advertising - I'm unlikely to return.

    i have been eating here for 20 years and it is one of my favorite go to places to eat. everyone who i have taken here loves the place. the food is extraordinary and has a very good wine list. the pricing is super reasonable considering the quality. Firefly also has the best vegetarian options i have ever found - i am not one but i often order these options as they are so good. the fact that they have been going for so long is because they are that good. do yourself a favor and eat here. you will never get tired of this place. ciao

    Firefly is always a joy. We ate in the parklet under heat lamps and enjoyed every morsel.

    We had a wonderful experience at Firefly. From the moment we walked in the ambience and service was lovely. Food was absolutely delicious with a wide variety of choices and amazing vegetarian and fish choices. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem that has stood the test of time. Enjoy.
