This was a perfect date night spot. We were seated immediately with our reservation, walking right into a bar area, perfect if you need to wait. The open outdoor concept was spacious, calm, and inviting. We started with creamy, delicious meatballs in a perfect tomato sauce. My date had the braised short rib, which I highly recommend the mashed potato had a crisp that made it unforgettable. My jidori chicken was cooked perfectly. They surprised us with complimentary sparkling wine, adding to the meal. Service was prompt and professional. The only minor hiccup was the bathroom it was dark and awkwardly placed, so a bit uncomfortable. read more

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. read more

The great news is I didn't have to worry about parking -- valet is available for just $10, which is an excellent deal. As soon as I walked in, a security guard greeted me right away and kindly asked if I knew where I was going, if I was waiting for someone, or if I needed any assistance. It was a nice welcoming touch. While walking toward my friend, I noticed a beautiful and cozy lounge area with plush couches and a massive library setup. It looked absolutely stunning -- I didn't snap a photo, but I definitely will next time. I can already picture myself there with a glass of wine and a good book, no electronics, just pure relaxation. The wine selection is excellent. The menu is small but everything is full of flavor -- the tastes truly burst in your mouth. My waiter was professional, attentive, and very kind. He offered me several samples until I found the perfect one. The ambiance is wonderful. You're seated inside, but it somehow feels like you're outside. The music is relaxing and soothing, creating the perfect vibe. I highly recommend this spot for a romantic date night or if you just want to escape and enjoy some peaceful time to yourself. I'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing! Beautiful birthday serenade too. Love the ambience and food selection. I'll be back

Firefly is the perfect spot for anyone looking for great food and romantic ambience. I dined during DineLA and the menu selections were outstanding for the $55 price tag. My table shared all the food and we were thoroughly impressed by everything except for the desserts (left a little to be desired). The short rib was incredible and I'll be returning specifically for this dish. Server was polite and attentive. You can tell the staff takes their job seriously. Overall, this place has incredible attention to detail and I can't wait to return! read more

Fantastic food and great ambience! It's a little hard to find at first because of how nondescript the outside is. Plenty of metered street parking. I didn't notice if there was free parking but it wasn't that crowded when we went. The short rib, crab cakes and toffee cake were the best DineLA options. The complimentary sparkling wine at the beginning was a nice touch. I would ask for some salt and pepper on the side because the short rib needed just a smidge more salt. The live guitar music added a quaint and romantic touch. read more

Gave us recommendations, i ordered the daily special which was the pork chop with mashed potatoes and was delicious! Cooked to perfection, drinks were delicious too and very creative, prices were decent for LA. Valet parking was available Highly recommend Firefly and will definitely be back when I am in the area!

What a lovely restaurant! My boyfriend and I went for our two year anniversary. The ambiance is so special inside, with the warm lighting and live music it was the perfect date-night setting. We were seated early for our reservation and got water. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. I ordered a cocktail, the sun-kissed passion I think. It was delicious! We got the fresh bread, also delicious. For entrees we got the steak frites and Atlantic salmon, with a side of garlic smashed potatoes. I loved every bit of everything I ate, it was such a great experience. Then, for dessert we ordered the white chocolate crème brûlée, and that was spectacular. The little dollops of passion fruit were amazing! I will definitely be back to try more dishes in the future. read more

First off, hands down, Nick is the epitome of a perfect server. From beginning to end, he stayed professional and very accommodating, not only this but he was equally attentive to ALL of his tables. Not just us. So the work mentality this guy has is exceptional. Please recognize this man. He deserves some sort of recognition. read more

We went to celebrate my friends birthday!! The staff welcomed us with a friendly hello and asked whose bday it was and congratulated him. We had reservations and were sat immediately at an amazing spot right by the fire place. Our waitress came up and took our drink orders super quick and offered a free drink for the bday boy! (which was tasty!) We placed our orders and food came out timely. I got salmon and a couple sides. They were tasty and perfect temperature. Refills were constant. (I literally drink 8 iced teas per meal so I always apologize to the servers in advance) such a gorgeous restaurant! literally a vibe!!! We had a great time and a great meal. Thank you for giving us a memorable evening read more

Firefly is one of those places that feels like a warm hug with dim lighting. The drinks are always top-notch and the ambience is perfectly cozy, like the restaurant equivalent of your favorite sweater that somehow also serves cocktails. Service was great and genuinely friendly, even when our card decided to audition for a true-crime documentary and got flagged for fraud. Our waiter said it happens a lot with Chase, so apparently we're part of a very exclusive, mildly inconvenient club. We never skip the tuna tartare and crab cakes, our emotional support appetizers that have never let us down. This time for Dine LA we kept our tradition alive, then went for the steak frites and short rib, finishing strong with sticky toffee pudding and molten cake, which we loved enough to consider writing thank-you notes to the pastry chef. The only hiccup was the steak frites. The steak itself was innocent, but the sauce tasted burnt and kind of confused, like it had been through a rough breakup. I'm guessing it was just a small kitchen oops moment, but it probably shouldn't have made the journey to our table. Even with that, we had a really nice time and will absolutely be back again, just maybe giving the steak and fries a little space to work on themselves first. read more

I love this restaurant. I've only ever had appetizers and drinks there, but it's such a sexy little hidden gem. It really feels tucked away from the madness of Ventura Boulevard. The staff is great and the service is awesome. It's perfect for a first date, a date night, or a girls' night out because the inside is so whimsical. I honestly can't say enough about how stunning the interior of this bar is. It's been a minute since I've been, but every time I drive by it looks busy even though you'd never guess that from the outside. Parking is also pretty convenient with lots of metered street parking, and they offer valet too, which is super helpful. read more

Enjoyed our Easter brunch date here--reservation required, valet parking, super packed (would like to return when it's less busy). I especially liked the ambience in the library room by the bar, a little more intimate and quiet compared to the patio today. Everyone was seated in the patio area for the Easter brunch which is a cool space with alcoves off to the side and multiple 2-4 person tables in the middle. It's covered but lets in a lot of natural light, and has a fireplace in the middle. All the staff were professional and helpful. Our server Nick was super attentive even though it was so busy, always making sure we had plenty of water and letting us know are drinks or food were coming out shortly. We started with beverages. I ordered the Spanish Romance cocktail and my husband ordered the Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned. Both were delicious. From the special Easter brunch menu, we had the arugula and machego salad and the broccoli frittata to start, and a side of Brussels sprouts to share. For the main dish, he ordered the Steak and eggs and I ordered the Atlantic salmon. And for dessert, he ordered the molten chocolate cake and I had the panna cotta with mangos and berry drizzle. Everything was so delicious. Having never eaten frittata or panna cotta before, let me tell you, I'm a fan! I enjoyed the people watching and the festive atmosphere, and the entire meal. read more

Its always a pleasure to come back to Firefly and have a nice evening with family. This time we were finally able to sit in the library lounge!! it only took about 4-5 visits.

I tried the Atlantic salmon and the New York strip. The salmon was cooked almost perfectly, and the white bean purée with the sauce it came with made it super flavorful. The New York strip didn't really stand out for me and the presentation wasn't the best, so I probably wouldn't recommend that one if you're looking for something impressive. We were greeted with warm smiles and welcome drinks, which was a nice start. The inside has dim lighting, nice decor, and plenty of tables. Parking is mostly street parking. Overall, it's a solid upscale casual spot that made the night feel a bit more special. read more

This hidden gem has all of the romantic date night energy youre looking for! A little door nestled in an ivy covered building, you cant even imagine all of the magic that waits for you inside! I personally suggest opting for the valet because street parking is a bit of a nightmare in this neighborhood, and its only $10, so not too bad. We had reservations for 8:30 in a cabana and took a seat at the bar for a drink while we waited. Good thing the company and spirits were pleasant, because we ended up waiting over an hour and a half! This was the main reason I docked them a star... its nice that they allow people to relax and enjoy their time, but to have a reservation and not be told in advance that we would have to wait so long past that time was a little much for us. Thank god we weren't starving, but the hostess said the party had been there for almost 3 hours. Maybe having a decent time limit on the cabanas would be helpful. The food was great, although I would say it was priced a bit high for my liking. I got the tuna tartare and for $30+ was expecting a bit more, but delicious all the same. The cocktails were mixed perfectly and the toffee cake was to die for. The vibe was everything and we really enjoyed our time! Can't wait to go back soon read more

Firefly has such a beautiful atmosphere. they have both the indoor seating and the outdoor area (covered with heaters!) are super cozy and aesthetic. The service was amazing and so helpful the entire night. Parking is either street or valet right in front, which made things easy. The food was honestly really good. I can't even pick a favorite because everything we ordered was so good. The daily special, a lobster pasta(don't remember the actual name), was super flavorful. I also loved the mushroom pappardelle, so rich and perfectly cooked. The brussels sprouts had this slight sweetness that made them really stand out. They even gave us complimentary drinks, which was such a nice touch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the ribeye was amazing with the three different dipping sauces which was really good with to try. We celebrated a birthday here, and just FYI, they do have a cake-cutting fee of $5.50 per slice. Overall, such a great experience. I'd definitely come back! read more

The only thing going for this restaurant now is the ambience. For the prices, the food was terrible. We got a cheese plate as a starter with rotten grapes and cheese that had been sitting out for a while. The pasta entree was so loaded with sauce that it was impossible to taste the protein. I have had better fast food than this. The server was over the top ingratiating which was also annoying. read more

Food was ok, the steak was a little hard could be better and juicier. Our side dishes were much better and good. Disappointed on the filet mignon. Our seating area was not great and got a little wet. The service was good in our dinning table with our server but not with the waitress in the lounge area. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks. My drinks were not the greatest, however my husband's were good. Ambience was ok too. It's a cute little place. Not sure if I would go back. read more

Hands down, most classiest restaurant as far as ambiance, service and food. Shoutout to our amazing server, Kyle, who constantly checked in to see if anything else was needed and the manager, Eric for his professionalism and generosity.

Every dollar spent was well worth it. Thank you, Firefly team! We'll be back soon. read more

First time here in about 5 years after a disaster of a brunch experience and we had a great time. Celebrating my sister's birthday, everything went well, save for one table with an obnoxious child climbing on the back of the booth, but they left 5 minutes into our dine, so that helped! Server, Alex, was exceptional, and we loved all of our food. Pasta special, a lamb shank, and a burger, all perfect. Tuna Tartare app is just amazing! First time we we've been in the auxiliary space (guessing it's new?) And while not as charming as the original space, it's bright and comfortable. read more

Last-minute reservations brought me back to this restaurant--I'd only been here once before, about seven years ago, around the same time of year. The interior is stunning and really transports you somewhere else. When you walk in, there's a bar up front, followed by a beautiful wall that looks like a library with shelves full of books, and a cozy lounge area. The dining area is outdoors but covered, and I noticed they've expanded to a new section with gorgeous blue walls, cream-colored furniture, and soft lighting--it feels very soothing and relaxing. My friends chose to dine in the more lively, original dining area, so we didn't sit in the blue section, but it was still a great experience. We got there early, and although it got pretty packed later, the manager kindly offered to move us to the lounge and even bought us a round of drinks. Very thoughtful--we didn't need the free drinks, but we appreciated them. As for the food, everything was delicious. We tried different dishes: the short rib stroganoff was a standout, served with mashed potatoes instead of egg noodles, and it was probably our favorite dish of the night--highly recommend it. The Brussels sprouts had a surprising little kick that was amazing. We also ordered tuna tartare, and two steak dishes--the steak frites was cooked perfectly, and the other steak was medium-rare. Drinks service was a bit slow for second rounds, but overall the food made up for it. Overall, a beautiful ambiance and excellent food. Definitely worth revisiting! read more

The food, service, and atmosphere here is exquisite! The entire establishment is gorgeous and encompasses the perfect date night ambiance. I of course have to mention how top tier the service was here. The hostess Gabby was amazing from the second we walked in. We didn't have reservations but she was kind enough to accommodate us and was even able to seat us right next to the beautiful warm fireplace just as I requested! I was quite impressed. I loved that she was very kind, social, and quick to seat us! Our waitress, Brady also made our night! Her energy and spirit was so lovely and infectious! She was knowledgeable about the menu and took very good care of us from start to finish. We had a delicious braised lamb shank cooked to perfection. Both Gabby and Brady deserve raises immediately!!! We will absolutely be back! read more

What a great place for a first date, a night out with the girls or boys or just a romantic dinner with your wife, husband or girlfriend. This cheerful, well staffed restaurant has been serving happiness for years. The food is great, I had the short ribs ,with Bruschetta to start and Creme brulee as desert and was delighted. The vibe is great and I noticed every age group represented, from 20 something hipsters canoodling in the bar to Octogenarians celebrating birthdays (maybe with a carbon 14 test to verify age) everyone is welcome and everyone was having a great time. This is the place to spoil yourself so, go ahead, make the reservation and treat yourself to an evening of great food, excellent service (we had Drew as our server and he was exceptional) and $10 valet (I recommend the valet as parking on Ventura Blvd is limited) read more

Had a great time at Firefly celebrating a birthday. Very classy restaurant with an elegant ambiance. The restaurant is a bit loud but it was full. We were seated quickly at our reservation time and shown to a high top table. We were brought complimentary small glasses of a Rosé. The server was very fast and attentive, asked if there were any food allergies (which I appreciate since I do). I had an old fashioned which tasted great and not too sweet. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, the steak frites were tender and cooked to order. Overall, great date night or celebration dinner location. read more

We came on a weeknight with a reservation for my friends birthday. Parking is impossible, so we all did valet which was $15. The place itself has a really cool ambience, it has a lounge area and a more formal seating area too. We got our own little corner and shared the muhammara cauliflower appetizer, which was delicious. My friend got the salmon and I got the chicken. The food was delicious, although of course portions were tiny. While I liked the food and ambience, I'm not sure I was wowed enough to go again. read more

It's all about the "happy, happy, joy, joy" happy hour for this girl and now I can add this place to my official "SFV HH" list. Opens at 5:00pm and by 6:00pm there are very few seats available.

Our anniversary dinner... Well this was supposed to be a super sweet anniversary dinner. And it was. But the restaurant sure didn't help...nor did the food. Chris surprised me with reservations that he had made. I was excited and it was a surprise. He had been wanting to take me here...so we went for our one year! It was cute. There is however a new area he tells me that happened during the pandemic...a parking lot turned dining area. They have done a nice job for sure...it just doesn't have the same shine as the main dining room. The food again...eh. Nothing impressive. I really can't even remember what we ate. It was pricey. They had a prefixed menu for the DINE LA and I believe a Valentine's Day menu...nothing wowed. This feels like a cute spot that did well for a few years...and now people just don't care as much. That was my takeaway. Not sure we will be back. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a date night at Firefly! From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look like anything special. There's no parking lot either so you'll have to find street parking. I didn't know what I was walking into but the vibes in here were so cute. When you first walk into the restaurant you're transported into an intimate bar setting. There's a bookshelf walk and the decor is such a vibe. Walking to the outside area it felt like I was dining on vacation in Europe. The side tables were draped with curtains and we were lucky to get seated there. Our waitress was so kind and had drink recommendations for us that tasted amazing, my boyfriend ordered the Pineapple Express and I had the Tokyo Drift. Super refreshing! We ordered the Little Gem Salad, basically tasted like Caesar salad and they didn't skimp on the dressing! For our main I ordered the Tandori Chicken, the chicken was juicy and the sautéed vegetables had great spiced flavors. My boyfriend really enjoyed the steak frites, the steak was tender and they cooked it perfectly (well done without being dry). The peppercorn sauce added great flavor to the steak. He would rate the fries 9/10, he appreciated the thick cut and said they were crispy but fluffy on the inside. The brussel sprouts were roasted well, it was soft but still has a bite to it. The sweet and sour sauce was really tasty! read more
