| - Does Firefly need another shining review about how fabulous it is?? No, but I'm going to write one anyways :)
I've been a fan of this place for years, and love their new Summerlin location because it's so close to my house. It's always very busy and attracts a young, hip crowd. Luckily we had a large group when we went last weekend, so we didn't have to wait for a table since they'd let us make a reservation in advance.
They have 3 sangrias on the menu (the white is my favorite!) and at $24 for a pitcher, it's a good deal since you'll easily get 6 glasses out of the pitcher (versus paying by the glass).
The impressive menu is loaded with hot and cold tapas, most of which are perfect for sharing. The complimentary baguette toasts with almond butter are really good and addictive. Menu favorites include the firefly fries (loaded with parmesan cheese), the bacon-wrapped dates (a delicious combo of salty and sweet), the baked tetilla (a cheesy baked fondue to dip bread in), the manchego mac n' cheese, albondigas (meatballs in tomato sauce) and the fried calamari. I wasn't as fond of the tomato bread (it's served cold and I think it'd be way better warm) or veggie empanada (kind of bland).
Service here is usually pretty good and our servers were very attentive and constantly refilling our glasses with our sangria pitches and whatnot. The food also came out very quickly despite the fact that we had a large group, which was great.
Anyways, if you haven't been to Firefly yet, you have to check it out -- you will be very glad you did! :)
