She was friendly, attentive, gave good recommendations, and worked seamlessly with the rest of the staff to make sure everything went smoothly. The restaurant has a great vibe with a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a nicely decorated back room that was perfect for our group. It's clean, spacious, and was surprisingly busy for a Monday early night. We also found out they have great specials, including $1 wings. The spicy margarita was a hit amongst the group. The drinks were good, and my favorites were the Brussels sprouts and calamari. The rest of the group loved the wings, and the salad, and burger was also really good. We ordered a variety of small plates and desserts to share, and everything was enjoyable. We will definitely be back and would recommend it. Metered street parking is available outside.

We had delicious dinner entrees with two glasses of wine and tip it came to just about $90 for 3 people. Everything was D-LISH. The salad greens were super fresh, the dressings were PERFECT (the raspberry vinaigrette was ON THE MONEY as was the creamy italian (not too much vinegar bite, not too little). The starter bread was hot and yummy (had to be careful, i wanted to fill up on that!). The service was great. The owner is a real nice man, had no problem accommodating our seating request and reservation. He was pretty busy, would have liked to talk to him a little more and found out more about the place and it's history. Oh, by the way, everything was VERY clean. Besides being incredibly good looking, i'm also pretty tall. I can see dust on top of pictures and places where most others can't. The pictures on the wall, the glass fixtures, all of it, everything was spotless. Someone obviously takes the time to clean everything... that tells me that this owner has very high standards. The decor was warm and a sublime, comfortable and a little up-scale but family friendly with a low noise level. Folks, THIS IS HOW TO DO IT! I can't wait to go back. I'll skip a few pizzas during the month to have an awesome meal like that. This is what going out to dinner is all about as far as I am concerned, and anyone who says it is pricey doesn't know how to differentiate between cost and value.

We came…read morein for their happy hour specials as there was a huge banner up front (green tea shots) and omg yesssss. We were seated immediately, first few people there and I can tell it is popular because we weren't the only ones who came in as soon as they opened. The bartender was very accomplished and friendly, the drink specials were great. A+ for letting us use our computers at the bar! WiFi is available! No outlets though which wasn't an issue for us! We both got the green tea shots which was soooo good btw! We were also able to share the 4 sake flight which was also good. It allowed us to see what we liked and what we didn't. I personally enjoyed the coconut and the matcha, closely following in with the original. My friend enjoyed the original, then the matcha, coconut and last would be the sakura as it tasted too artificial. Since we came in as soon as they opened, it was pretty chill and calm. It was very peaceful, as the night progressed, music did turn up (as they do have karaoke every Sunday and Wednesday Night). If I'm in the area, I'll def pull up again c:

Firefly is easily one of my favorite spots right now -- the vibe, the drinks, and especially the…read moreservice make it stand out every single time. The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

Went in but one of us had a baby and they denied us service! They refused to seat us at the bar which is part of the happy hour. I mean, what baby is drinking at the bar?!!! Incredibly silly and unprofessional. Fine they don't want to seat the group at the bar because of a baby, at least offer the happy hour at the table that we were forced to sit at. No they didn't. We left. This isn't how you treat customers. People go out to eat to relax and have a good time. There are plenty of restaurants nearby with warm ambiance and great food options. This place was not it. I bet the food is probably horrible, hence the happy hour to get people in the door. Bad staff. Bad place. Go somewhere that cares for their customers.

My sister had the rigatoni, my mom had the salmon, and I had the short rib of beef, which melted in my mouth like butter -- that's how tender the meat was. For dessert, I had the cannoli's while my mom and sister enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, which is always a plus. My family and I will definitely be coming back again -- even if it's just to stop in for a lychee martini and the grilled octopus, one of my favorite meals.

Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp.

I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).
