| - Firefly is a more than competent tapas place with a lot going for it. The decor is comfortable but perhaps a bit dark - nothing special. And the service is friendly and very prompt, maybe even too prompt; if you want your dinner paced, you will have to do it yourself (see hint below).
But in every other respect, Firefly excels.
Every item on the menu that we tried was very good to excellent. No misses at all, and some were really outstanding, most notably the baked goat cheese and (believe it or not) the Chicago beef bocadillos. The San Gria was above average too.
The menu is large and has a wide variety of selections. You will want to order 20 or so, but two per person is enough for an average appetite.
The prices are quite reasonable, with a typical plate being well under $10.
Go hungry.
HINTS:
1. Reservations are really necessary.
2. From the time you order to the time you get your food will vary from a few minutes to about ten. Each plate will be brought separately, so you really need to share.
3. To pace your meal, order one or two dishes, sit around eating and talking, and when you are ready, order a couple more. They are fine with you doing this.
