About this business

Trendsetters flock to this hidden Valley gem for its innovative lounge and dining experience.

Menu highlights include the Fried Olives, Fried Figs, Calamari, fish and meat mains. Note that smo... read more

Bad food, fun bar – Wow, this place has gone from a great bar and restaurant to just a great place to have a drink. The food was very good when it first opened a couple years ago and now just passes as mediocre...I know they told me at one point they were working over the menu to focus on quality instead of quantity (funny as they only had a one-page menu) and it just didn't happen for them...

Not worth the stop! – I heard that Firefly was a great spot in the Valley and have given it a few tries...every time I am disappointed! The lounge and bar are extremely small and there's never a spot to sit, the food is bland and the food service is horrendous! You have to beg for a water-refill, bread, etc. Firefly is totally over-rated!

Nouveau American fare served in hip environs for an equally cool crowd. – The Scene The stately, dimly lit front bar boasts red walls, dignified paintings, comfy couches and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Cement floors and a high A-frame ceiling don't detract from the cozy romance offered by a central patio fireplace. One wall flickers with inset candles; iron sconces line the other. Servers are prompt, informed and exceptionally attentive. The Food Items on the small, varied menu are skillfully prepared. Addictive appetizers... read more

We Walked Out – Our party of 12 made a reservation for 8:30p.m. When we arrived, they had a reservation for 8 and a table for 8. We were told we could have another table when it opened up to accomodate the extra 4 people. One finally became availible, but we were told it was reserved and we could not take it. When the next table opened at 9:30p.m., we pulled it over to the large round table and sat down. The hostess informed us we would not be served until we separated the tables. We told her if we couldn't sit together and ... read more

over the hill... – It's not often that I make a trek over the hill to the valley but as my girlfriend keeps telling me- "it's not the valley it's Studio City!" and after my night out at Firefly I think she might be on to something. I had know idea that this place existed and was blown away from the moment I approached and saw the fleet of gray clad valets standing at attention- "Am I in Cuba?" Once inside I felt that I had been transported to another place and time. The classic feel of the bar & lounge with rich colors and p... read more

Cool Place I found – I went to firefly with some people I work with in the studio for dinner....The first thing i noticed was the cool dressed valet's in their chuck taylors and dickies....seemed well thought out..Even though they were a little slow getting our car back to us..they were pretty good and looked professional....we sat in the bar area and had some drinks and then we sat in this cabana type seating that I had never seen before..that was unique and very comfortable.....the staff was very informal, but knew the win... read more

I am a regular and just love what you are doing... i swear it was not even two days later that i had calls wanting your phone number so they could go again... you guys should pat yourself...from the bar to the service and not lastly the food... all i can say is keep up the great work.....chapman

foodie oasis in the valley – firefly continues to amaze me with a consistantly good product. The food is the best it has ever been, the mussels are amazing, my wife and I love the intimate & romatice atmosphere. We both love the warm and welcoming feel we get every time we come, we can not recommend more highly

Worst dining experience EVER – Rudest people in the service industry. Made reservation for group of 13, could not sit more than 8. Weren't allowed to join tables, or else were told to leave. Still were made to pay for drinks! Waitress took the "not my job" cop-out and manager has never heard the "customer is always right" mantra. Lady, it's not a cute saying, it's the heart of the service industry! Took our business elsewhere, they have no clue what they're doing.
