    Tuna Tartar
    Chris I.

    The Place- Very nice and recommended for an upscale dinner out. FYI- I thought the setting was the best part and the food was pretty good. Parking- Valet is your most likely option. There is street parking but good luck finding it on that section of Ventura Blvd. Service- Friendly and attentive. Came for Dine in LA Week. Tuna Tartare- Was pretty good but I would get something else the next time. Crab Cake- Was pretty good but needed more flavor. Short Rib- Good and I would get it again. Mushroom Pappardelle- Was good but not great. ***Apple Cobbler for Dessert- This was fantastic and a must have.***

    Really enjoyed my experience at Firely. The atmosphere was beautiful and had a cozy upscale vibe, and most of the dishes we tried were flavorful and well presented. Service was friendly and the staff checked in often without being overbearing. Perfect date spot!

    Tuna Tartare with Dessert wine and Dungeness Crab Salad
    Kyara B.

    Went to Firefly for the first time on Valentine's Day. The entryway is an unmarked wooden door. Use the valet kiosk to guide you on which door is the entrance. Upon entry, they have a bar and lounge area. Looked more casual and like anyone could come in without a reservation. We were seated at their last dining room area so we really got to see how massive the restaurant was. Loads of seating in an indoor outdoor tent situation with each section still having the romantic charm their main area holds. For Valentine's Day they had a prix fixed 3 course menu: Chilean Sea Bass - Incredible - perfectly cooked. The sauce on the sea bass was packed with flavor and the capers on top added a nice hint of salt. The sea bass came on a bed of mashed potatoes and broccolini. The sauce on the plate itself was soooo incredible. Loved that you could run all the veggies over the plate so that each bite contained that incredible sauce. Tuna Tartare - Extremely fresh tuna. Served with a cripsy wonton type of chip. Molten Chocolate Cake - Came with vanilla bean ice cream. The cake was moist and warm. The ice cream was just the right sweetness to offer a refreshing pairing with the richness of the cake. They also offered a tasting of this sweet dessert wine along with a dungeness crab salad. Both were very small samples but very delicious. Service was amazing even for Valentines day. Ambience was romantic with their decor and they even played love songs throughout our time there. They also had a Photo Booth where we could take as many pictures as we'd like and print them all for free! Amazing. Valet was $10. This was the most incredible meal I've ever had as a whole. Very impressed with the kitchen's ability to handle such a high volume of customers and still maintain quality. I will definitely be coming back for their regular menu items! HOPING the Chilean Sea Bass is on their regular menu!!!

    Sticky toffee cake (birthday celebration)

    Firefly has an amazing ambiance and great food options. It is very romantic for different occasions, but also just a fun restaurant that everyone should make sure to go to. I have to say though, as of about a month ago, Firefly has been upping their prices, making certain items no longer worth getting for the new price. That being said, I still think if you have the opportunity, you should check it out once.

    Garlic Smashed Potatoes

    TLDR: Great food, especially the bread and potato based dishes. Parking is tough unless you use the $10 valet. Romantic vibe, but the music gets way too loud at times and makes conversation difficult. --------- Parking can be challenging since it is mostly street parking. If you do not want to use valet, which costs $10, you might get lucky and find a spot nearby like I did, but I would not count on it. The restaurant was very accommodating when we needed to modify our reservation after missing an earlier time. Inside, the space feels romantic with dim lighting. The music, however, was inconsistent. It shifted from romantic and classical to rave and pop style tracks. When the louder music came on, it was blasting and made conversation difficult without raising your voice. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff kindly offered a small wine shot, which was a nice touch. I was hoping for a dessert or something sweet to mark the occasion, but that was not provided. Still, the gesture was appreciated. The food is the main reason I would return. The baguette was excellent, and while it seems simple, the butter truly stole the show. The beef stroganoff was also a standout. The meat was soft and tender, and the potato pairing worked perfectly. The garlic smashed potatoes were another highlight, with a creamy sauce that tied everything together nicely. The miso cod, however, fell flat for me. I was expecting more depth and flavor from the miso, but it did not quite deliver. Overall, the starch forward dishes were the stars here. I would happily come back for the food, but only if the music volume were turned down enough to allow for a comfortable conversation.

    What a beautiful venue for a gathering! The decor was lovely and the environment was so intimate even with the restaurant being full of people. The drinks and food were delicious and the service was spectacular. I can't wait to go back.

    Went to Firefly in Studio City for their NYE prix fixe menu and had a great time overall. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but that's expected for New Year's Eve-and the food was actually really good and nicely presented. The atmosphere was fun and festive, and we especially loved the DJ and the photo booth, which added to the whole NYE experience and made it feel like a celebration.

    Steak Frites

    Friend's recommendation on celebrating something special. There's no actual parking lot and valet ($10) is the only way to go. First time here and can't find the door as there's no sign of entrance when arriving. Place do take walk-ins but making a reservation is recommended. Got the reservation through Open table at 8pm for outdoor seating, but it was freezing at the time. Arrive 30 min early and speak with hostess if it was ok to be seated inside since we don't want to freeze. Hostess confirm reservation and automatically say "happy anniversary." Our surprised, we were seated right away and inside. That's plus When walking in, the bar area has a lounge as well, where bookshelves can be found and cute little stools to chill and relax while waiting for your table or so. Walk further past the bar and the dining area is massive. We were seated in the back by an actual fireplace and that's a good thing. Seated right away and our waiter surprise us with complimentary red wine for this occasion. Red wine was just right and not too bitter. Menu is simple as it has one side of drinks and the other side is the actual menu. Chef's pix stix is a three course meal (appetizer, entree and dessert) from selected choices. Kind of like Hell's Kitchen of San Diego. Both of us chose the chef pix of the following: tuna tartare, pork belly, steak frites (medium rare and rare) and side dish of Mac N Cheese and Brussel Sprouts. Desert: chose sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée. In addition, waiter recommend the Pink something for the sweetest nonalcoholic drink. - Pink something drink: just the right amount of sweetness and not fill up with ice. - Steak frites & fries: gf say the rare is very tender and you don't saw it in order to cut it. Demi-glaze sauce is excellent - Mac N Cheese: it's good and has not over power by truffles - Brussels Sprouts: gf first time having and say it's very good. Dig further to have it coated with sauce to make it more appealing - Sticky toffee pudding: it's upside down brownie with side of ice cream of pecans but it's not too sweet and that's good thing - crème brûlée: gf say it's awesome and the tart doesn't overpower the dish Now here's the interesting part: order the steak frites medium rare. At first I thought my gf has mine since it's the redness is better. But looking back, hardly red so I thought it might be raw or more less rare than my gf. So, point this to waiter, waiter apologize and will cook a new one. 10 minutes later, new steak but was ask to cut in the middle to make sure. Nope, it's the same temperature. So ask to just refry this one and not get a new steak. Third time, actually got it right and with another order of complimentary fries as an apology. In the end, the medium rare steak was comp. Overall, highly recommend this place. The waiter was professional and apologize for the mistake and was good move to ask to cut the steak to make sure the steak was cook properly.

    The atmosphere is dark romantic elegant perfect for a date night or celebrating any sort of anniversary or celebrating anything for that matter. The Sommelier was so attentive and so amazing. We got to try many different types of wines. They had it decorated for the masquerade Valentine's Day experience with the three course tastings and appetizers all in between started off with these are really delicious meatballs, tuna, tartare, and an apricot prosciutto and cheese, bite-size morsel. We also got a bite of crab appetizers The place itself was very busy. They ended up getting a DJ around 10 o'clock. The desserts were amazing. The food in general was really good no complaints. It was an all-around fantastic night.

    I've been to Firefly three times now, and it continues to impress. If I'm not mistaken, this place has been around since the early 2000s, and there's a reason it's still here. First thing you notice: there's no sign outside. Just ivy-covered walls. You could walk past it and never know. But step inside and it's a completely different story. Every time I've been here, the place has been packed. The space is cozy yet open, with a beautiful bar and a lounge area that feels like a library. It's actually a great spot to wait for your table, though you can eat there too. Warm, inviting, and comfortable without feeling stuffy. I celebrated my 50th birthday here, and they made it special. The birthday cake came with a candle that was honestly very Instagram-worthy. Memorable in the best way. On a previous visit, I brought a friend from Arizona and had their Wagyu cheeseburger (sadly no longer on the menu). Still one of the best burgers I've ever had, especially with the fries. Two nights ago, we had our office Christmas dinner here. I was honestly surprised how easy it was to reserve a table for 11, given how popular this place is. The staff who answered the phone and the hostess were incredibly friendly and accommodating. No attitude, no stress. The food really delivered. And that says a lot, because my coworkers are not easy to please. From appetizers to dessert, everyone enjoyed their meal. We ordered mussels, meatballs, and crab cakes to start. All excellent. For mains, I had the filet mignon and sirloin steak, both very good. Desserts like the crème brûlée and lava chocolate cake were a perfect ending. This is the kind of place you bring: - a date - a close friend - someone visiting from out of town - or even a group dinner like we did You can dress up if you want, but you don't have to. I've walked in wearing shorts after a long hike and felt just as welcome. Warm atmosphere, consistently good food, friendly staff, and a place that feels timeless. 10/10. Highly recommend.

    My boyfriend and I recently went to celebrate our 3-year anniversary and this was our first time actually trying the dinner menu at Firefly. I had made a request to be seated at the private two-person tables they have, but did not get that request fulfilled, which was disappointing but, we got seated next to the fire with two tiny complimentary drinks, which was nice of them but, also wasn't the most pleasant place for us to be seated. My back felt way too warm from the fire behind me but, nevertheless we had a good time. They had a $75 per person 3-course meal that came with an app, entree and dessert, and since we both liked the options there, we decided to get that deal. For my app, I chose the tuna tartare which was really fresh and delicious, and my boyfriend got the burrata which was average. I'd recommend the tuna. Next for our entrees we both got the steak frites. The steaks were a beautiful medium rare and juicy. Also seasoned well, and the fries were free as well. We both ended our meal with the sticky toffee pudding, which was really delicious.

    Absolutely love the ambiance at this restaurant. It's a great place for a date night or if you're in the mood to just grab a drink. The jidori chicken was delicious as was the tuna tartare. The steak frites filet mignon was also a great dish.

    This is an extremely gorgeous, intimate restaurant. It's dimly lit, but so lively which makes it great for an outing with friends or your partner. We decided on the Galentines menu which has a great assortment of options. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly! It was so juicy and definitely well-seasoned. The apple cobbler was super delicious too! The perfect combination of sweet and a little sour. The only thing that could maybe improve is the volume of music, not sure what happened but the dj kept switching between the music being very loud and then very low. Would highly recommended having a reservation since it's very busy.

They brought out a Swiss Miss packet, and made passive aggressive comments about how they were going above and beyond for her and they should charge her double (she's not a picky person so for her to complain you know it's bad) - we only found three games in the place but they were small plastic things like flick the ball into the hoop with all pieces out of the boxes and laying randomly under a tv tray behind a bar table - the food wasn't very good - the waiter didn't remember he needed my payment for the two hours I was there - the menu was basically non existent because their fryer was down and so they couldn't offer most items - it was dark and hard to see anything - the owner and her relative took over our hangout for around 30-40 min, asking us to bring in our "actor friends" and help them get more business.

    The Garland is a really nice hotel. It is kept up very well. It looks brand new despite being here…read moreat least a couple decades. They offer a courtesy shuttle to Universal Studios daily. I enjoyed the courtesy of the front desk staff. There is a very nice store right near the front desk. The lady was actually very helpful with an issue we had with the double decker bus we booked. She saved us and some guests from Australia some annoyance. The room was modern and we had a sort of garden/patio view. We were able to check in a few hours early but that is based on availability of course. I highly recommend staying here if you want to be in the West Hollywood area. It is a very charming hotel that was owned by Beverly Garland and now owned by her son.

    Stayed here for three nights in March 2026…read more The hotel has a great vibe and they do a great job of keeping it clean and beautiful. Check in is fast. They throw a speech at you and send you on your way. I have broken down my thoughts about each area of the experience. Pool area: kids loved the movies by the pool with the pool noodle. They do a great job here with two spas (adult and children) lots of seating and towels. Trolley: really cute and a great way to visit universal studios. Caution it leaves both locations before the advertised times. Communication is terrible here by the staff. We saw one group call an uber because they were afraid of getting to the park late. Gym: covers all the basics, water station, good amount of weights and machines. The Lobby Bar: not worth your money. We ordered a salad, tacos with a side salad, some drinks, nachos and cookies. The cookies are cold and taste like chips ahoy (8 for $10). The salads are really small and are dry. The nachos were okay, just didn't taste like anything. It was a convenient dinner option but wouldn't do return. Parking: it's LA area they charge you to breathe the air, overpriced like everything else. The spots are small and as a result our car got hit with visible marks. Rooms: nice, nothing special or different overall but the air kept the room cool, the towels were plentiful, the beds were comfortable. That being said I would stay here again. The location and price worked for our family in addition to the fun family environment where our kids felt welcomed.
