I've got to be honest, I didn't know what we were getting into walking up to a huge barrel entrance BUT once I got inside it's a whole VIBE! Especially the cute patio area. I've tried : Tater tots are made just right . Crispy on the outside and moist inside . 5/5 Sweet potato fries to my surprise were the best I've ever had bc I usually dislike them everywhere else . What makes these stand out is the aoli sauce that's paired so well with it. 5/5 Fish tacos were well stacked with flavor and lightly battered fries moist fish with a lime wedge 5/5 A Lavender Gin Cocktail. Might be my fave drink here! 5/5 Mirkwood looks murky but tastes good 4/5 Gin mojito was refreshing and well balanced 5/5 There's two bars. One in the front when you walk in and the other in their back patio . Mark definitely knows what he's doing behind the bar. There's a good amount of tables in both areas too . I keep coming back for their friendly service , good bar food and well made drinks.

We had a great dinner at Firefly on Monday night celebrating a birthday. I didn't realize they had…read morelive jazz on Mondays, so that was a nice surprise and added to the atmosphere. We ordered the pork belly with watermelon, short rib, crab cake, broccolini, and apple cobbler, along with a couple of drinks. Everything made for a lovely evening, and our server, Emily, was wonderful. She was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, which is always appreciated. Unfortunately, the valet experience was a different story. When I first pulled up, the valet team was moving slowly, leaving my car sticking out enough that I was concerned it could get hit. They eventually moved it, but didn't fold in my side mirrors, despite doing so for other vehicles. Given that Ventura Boulevard is a busy street, that was frustrating. The bigger issue came when we were leaving. The valet team was extremely slow and actually brought me the wrong car. I'm not sure whose white Tesla they brought around, but I would be incredibly upset if my car were handed over to someone else. When I pointed out that it wasn't my vehicle, the staff weren't apologetic and instead treated me as though I were the problem. It's disappointing when a great dining experience ends on such a frustrating note. Firefly has a lovely atmosphere, the food was enjoyable, and Emily provided excellent service. However, the valet operation needs significant improvement, both in efficiency and in how they handle mistakes with customers. I'd happily return for the restaurant, but I hope management addresses the valet experience.

Our server, Emmanuel, made some fantastic recommendations. We got the waygu tartare, shrimp tostada, Dungeness crab pasta , and oyster mushrooms. The tartare was hands down the best I've had-- fantastic flavor and perfect texture. Honestly u can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We will prob have to come back to try the scallops and lobster pasta. Drinks were strong but also beautifully crafted. For dessert we shared the sorbet which was a nice ending to our meal (not too sweet but also very refreshing). Verse surprised us with a delicious almond cake that reminded me of an almond croissant. Sooo good. We rly appreciated that :) Even tho we did dine here a little later in the evening, we were still able to enjoy some live music which I appreciated. Emmanuel educated us on the history of Verse as well as the lore of the menu and building itself. A true class act! All in all one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while.

It can get a little wild, especially when there are big parties.

Despite the chaos, we keep coming back because the drinks are consistent! And a great spot to hang out when it's chill.

It's smaller than I expected with more outdoor seating than indoor, so be aware during summer time and I'd recommend mosquito repellent! We did not make a reservation (I do recommend if you want indoor seating on busy nights) but we came at 4 pm and got a table that was reserved at 9 pm so we got to sit until we left that table at ~8:30 pm. We loved the indoor tiki decor and thought the whole vibe of the place was so cute and charming and we did appreciate some of the other customers who dressed up in Tiki style clothing as well. We did get dropped off/picked up but there's theoretical street parking out front for your DD (drink responsibly!!). They had a summer drinks special menu and we got the TBD and the Pure Imagination, I preferred the pure imagination. But our absolute favorite drink was the Nutty Chi Chi, a vodka blend on a classic Piña Colada! They don't serve food themselves but there is a taco stand out back after ~6pm that takes cash + card (card fee!) and will drop off food to your table. Such a fun night and looking forward to coming around again!

Cute cocktail bar with a view, The view is incredible at sunset on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed cocktails, beer, and the filet mignon sammie. The food was SO good. Perfect for cocktail hour, but they also serve the full menu from castaway here so you could even order dinner if you wanted. Really beautiful presentation for the cocktails, reminds me of Barton G before it closed. They have a buzz button cocktail which was super tasty! Service was extreme friendly,and accommodating. Everyone was making sure we were satisfied throughout out time there. I will for sure be back, and if you're looking for a cute date night spot this it! I will be back to try more of the tapas!

I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here, and staff is excellent with recommendations and food and drink modifications if need be. I also generally go home with leftovers, which also helps make it well worth it. This is the sort of bar where you can come with a full party, a few friends, or just sit by yourself at the bar, and you'll have a good time no matter what. Patrons are friendly, ambiance is peak, front and back patios provide additional outdoor seating (which is great for me, as I still prefer to mask while indoors), staff are phenomenal, and the place is overall fantastic. This is where I bring people who've never been to my neck of the woods before to show them the highlights. Street parking only - the KFC next door will get Upset if you park in their lot - but street parking is rarely hard to find. Come to Guildhall and treat yourself.

They all came out really quick.
