| - First time at Firefly and will definitely be back! Made reservations for 3 at 6:00pm. Many people are like "WTF are tapas?" I would define it as: small plates which allows you to order and try many things on the menu. It's usually good for a group of girls sharing dishes. :)
We ordered:
*Roasted baby beet salad
[mixed greens, goat cheese, toasted pecans, sherry vinaigrette ]
-YUM! The vinaigrette went great with the greens and the toasted pecans were almost like candy!
*Chicken salad
[chopped breast, grapes, smoked almonds, creamy cider dressing, endive]
- delicious! Just like a classic chicken salad.
*Firefly* fries
[parmesan, herbs, aioli]
- this was probably the biggest dish we ordered. The 3 of us couldn't finish it. It was delicious and the aioli was so good, I wanted it more of it!
*Camarones a la diabla
[shrimp, spicy chile sauce, grilled bread]
- wasn't too spicy at all, just a tiny bit of heat, which was nice, since it was the only "spicy" thing we ordered. 6 shrimp came on the plate.
*Empanada
[pastry stuffed w/roast pork, red pepper, w/salad, aioli]
- really liked the salad. Only one empanada came on the plate (cut in half), a little dry, but still good.
*(i don't see this on the online menu)
Lobster w/ parm and basil
-it was OK. That was the only dish that the 3 of us didn't like.
For Dessert:
*Banana-Nutella sandwiches
[w/Nutella cream dipping sauce]
-can you go wrong with nutella? no. 'nuff said.
*Chocolate cherry bread pudding
[warm w/port wine reduction, vanilla ice cream]
-good except for the fact that they use cheap vanilla ice cream and that ruined it for me.
I had a glass of the red sangria, which has a very strong brandy taste, but still good.
We all had a great time! We left around 8:30pm and the place was PACKED!!! Which was surprising, because the waitress did not rush us at all, which was really nice. It was kinda loud in the restaurant, so be forewarned, but not horrible.
I would definitely go back here!
