About this business

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

The most pretentious horrible place. Stay away! Deceptive reservation system and attitude not worth your time or money – The most pretentious horrible place. stay away! my wife and i reserved a table days ahead and were confirmed a reservation. the afternoon of our dinner they called to "confirm" and we called immediately back only to get a "we do not accept VM confirmations". when were finally able to get through to the restaurant we were told "sorry, you've been wait listed" and they copped a major a@# $%e attitude and the... read more

Enchanted! Great food and a great place to take a date. – This place never disappoints me. I've been here countless times and it is always great. It has one of the nicest atmospheres of any restaurant around: cozy fireplace, candlelit walls, and chill music. The menu has some awesome appetizers--I highly recommend the fried olives (totally addictive)! This place is lively and fun on any day of the week, so be sure to make a reservation. They have a very knowledgeable wait staff (our last waitress knew all about French wines-... read more

Exquisite food, if you can ignore the service! – Let me start by saying that I'm a huge foodie - I love good food, and am not taken in by hyped up hot spots. So upon reading the intial reviews for Firefly I was certain it wouldn't live up to the hype, but decided to give it a try just in case.. As expected, the reservations were hard to come by and the service was snooty / below average. BUT the food is the real deal, one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had! I've been to Firefly three times now, and each time the ... read more

Left me needing water – I went to Firefly for my birthday with a couple of friends. The place looked very nice and I was very pleased, that is until the food came out! I ordered The Mussels and they were good except for the part that there was wayyyyy too much salt on them. To top it off I was opening one of them and slice my thumb straight across. They didn't even offer a free meal or to take the mussels off the bill . Well, then the entree showed up and looked great but again there was soooo much salt in all the food that ... read more

Warm your heart-Warm your soul – The only thing missing is the real fireflies, but the candles flickering in the cubbies on the walls is a close second. I keep telling them they need flaming martinis to go along with the fire theme :) When the FEMALE chef is in the kitchen, the food is second to none- have to check it out Rachel Ray! The ambiance is superb. For two, sit by the fireplace, for a group, a round table in the corner near the garden, but not too close to the bar cause it gets noisy there. Unpretentious exterior- h... read more

Great for drinks & atmosphere - Snootiness uncharacteristic for Studio City – Let me start off by saying that I've never posted a comment about anything, EVER. I will also say that Firefly has been my FAVORITE bar since forever. That's why I am so disappointed by my experience last night. It was my BIRTHDAY yesterday and I decided to have it at my favorite bar- Firefly. What really brings this beautiful, cozy place down is their staff. We were there PROMPTLY at 8pm for dinner, and by 9:30 (when I had told friends to come for... read more

Glad I found this place! – A great experience all around...you should definitely try this place. One of the best dining experiences I've had in a really long time. Definitely have the scallops, hanger steak and can't miss desserts.

Worst experience I have EVER had – Firefly was the worst experience I have EVER had - in my entire life. Here is why - the door guy is angry, the "hipster" cocktail waiter is slow and irritable, the bald headed manager is arrogant, slimy, unhelpful and unfriendly. We had dinner reservations for 8 (young hot LA types) and they rushed us through dinner made us feel uncomfortable & unwanted. The SEVICE was ghastly and even worse than the service was the management, who needs to kindly remind himself that he is a bar manager and... read more
