Firefly in Studio City

I’ve been coming to Firefly for years and have never been disappointed!Everybody is super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The host, the servers, the bartenders, and the kitchen staff.I highly recommend this place!It’s such a cute restaurant! Sometimes we just come for drinks in the little library lounge/bar area and other times we have dinner and drinks in one of the cabanas. It’s a beautiful experience no matter the weather!

My girlfriend surprised me by bringing me here for dinner.I must say it was a nice restaurant. it doesnt look like much from the outside, but once you walk in, its a whole different scene. the food was really great and alcoholic beverages. its a little pricey, but its worth every penny.my girlfriend got the filet mignon, and I got the salmon. we also ordered the charcuterie and Russell sprouts and fries. hey, we were hungry, loloverall, we had a great experience

The atmosphere is really nice, perfectly romantic. The food, cocktails and wine selection was good. Service was a little off, food started to arrive before our drinks, but Ill give that a pass. All in all it was a nice experience.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Valet parking is $10.Brussel sprouts had grapes, which made it semi sweetened. It was different with the grapes but so good. I liked the way these Brussels were cooked. It easily fell apart as I bit into it.French baguette bread was the appetizer, and I loved the butter that came with it. It was served on a black platter with the butter scooped onto the platter.Shrimp fettuccine with a lobster bisque was my favorite. ❤️ You could taste the lobster bisque with every bite. The shrimp was perfect. No struggles pulling off the tail. The noodles werent dry and sticky, very well done overall.Steak frites were very tender as we asked for well done. It had a lot of flavor and was very fulfilling. I didnt personally favor it because I thought it was a bit salty for my palette. Usually, salt isnt an issue. Perhaps it was also the sauce, but the fries were good. The ketchup tasted like it was made in-house.Overall, it is a great atmosphere with a beautiful ambiance. The library room in the front was a fave area as well as the back wall greenery. The service was amazing as well up until the end when we were waiting for the bday suprise dessert. They cant split the bill but do take up to 6 cards. Id recommend this spot for sure for any and all occasions.

After patronizing this beautiful wine bar for years, when I was younger, I went there for dinner with my good friend for the first time in a long time. It is just as cute as I remembered it and as crowded as ever. The servers were very kind, and the food came out at a good rate. My friend and I were a bit dissatisfied with the plates we ordered: the crispy olive appetizer, little gem salad, french fries, and white fish dish. With the prices each dish toted, we expected something a little better. Maybe the best thing we ate was this chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. And, thankfully, the spicy margaritas were great. All in all, I would recommend this place for drinks, snacks, and a good time, but not so much for a good meal.

Amazing service and great food! When asked if we were celebrating anything, we responded to the hostess that we just got married. The server greeted us with “congratulations” and we received complimentary drinks. Such a nice way to start off our dinner. Everything we had was so delicious. The customer service and food, amazing. We got the steak frites and chicken entree, would definitely recommend. The cocktails were great as well, I would recommend the Pineapple express.

We Ordered All the Vegan Options at Firefly (with Photos)Our mission was to savor every vegan dish offered, while I also couldnt resist sampling one non-vegan plate to understand the depth of flavors.Firefly, a non-vegan restaurant in Studio City, surprised us with a diverse range of vegan offerings, mostly found in side dishes and appetizers. Eager to experience the executive chefs take on vegan cuisine, we booked a reservation and indulged in all the options, ordering more than we could eat.Dish 1: Farmers Market SaladA perfect balance of acidity, nutty richness, and a touch of sweetness from the green grapes surprised us in the most delightful way. Each bite offered a harmonious fusion of flavors, making it an instant favorite and a must-order to kickstart your appetite.Dish 2: Heirloom Tomato & Burrata (minus the burrata lol)Customizing the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata to align with our vegan preferences by omitting the cheese, we indulged in a vibrant plate of fresh, semi-dried, and fermented tomatoes, adorned with sweet black olive jam, fresh basil, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The absence of burrata didnt dampen our excitement as the tomatoes offered bursts of flavor, harmoniously balanced by the sweet olive jam and the refreshing touch of basil.Dish 3: Baby CarrotsThese Baby Carrots, served with hummus and kaffir lime kosho, proved to be a ‘holy cow, YUM’ experience! The hummus was creamy and perfectly balanced and the kaffir lime kosho was the bell of the ball - it elevated the entire experience with its mind-blowing sour and salty taste. Whether youre a hummus lover or a vegan enthusiast, this dish is a must-try that will leave you craving for more.Dish 4: Hand-Cut FritesDespite this small indulgence, it was undoubtedly a side dish that should not be missed. Each thick-cut fry boasted a golden brown hue and a satisfying crunch that paired perfectly with the parsley and garlic seasoning. Throughout the meal, we found ourselves reaching for more, savoring every crispy bite.Dish 5: Garlic Smashed PotatoesThe Garlic Smashed Potatoes were a unique and impressive vegan side dish. The perfectly cooked potatoes offered a savory experience that pleased our palates. The true star of the dish, however, was the luscious saffron aioli that the potatoes sat atop. We were very pleased as creamy sides are a rarity at non-vegan restaurants.Dish 6: Brussels SproutsThe Brussels Sprouts were a surprising and captivating fusion of flavors. Enhanced with sweet and sour chili sauce, roasted grapes, and vegan bacon, this vegan dish showcased the brilliant combination of vegetables and fruit. The pleasant bitterness of the Brussels sprouts paired surprisingly well with the roasted red grapes, creating a symphony of flavors that delighted our taste buds.Dish 7: Fried EggplantThe Fried Eggplant, drizzled with date syrup and served with green chili cilantro sauce, left us in awe. The green chili cilantro sauce, with its earthy, bright, and beautifully spicy kick, quickly earned its place among our top three favorite dishes of the night.Dish 8: Atlantic Salmon (non-vegan dish, for me)Fireflys Atlantic Salmon, served with eggplant puree, king oyster mushrooms, crispy sesame leaves, ginger relish, and dashi sauce, stood out as a culinary masterpiece that even delighted the vegan palate. The salmon was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor, while the vegan elements of the dish proved equally sensational.Overview:At Firefly, the exceptional service from our server, Haily, added to the dining experience. Her sweet and engaging demeanor, combined with her attentive care throughout the night, made the evening even more memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant, especially on the patio with the roof retracted, embraced the lovely LA summer night, setting the stage for a remarkable dining adventure.The chefs ingenuity shone through each plate, and we extend our appreciation to the entire team for a truly unforgettable experience.

Such a great atmosphere, perfect for a date night. Had the salmon (a piece was undercooked) and bass both were amazing. Will be seated until your full party arrives and get a free glass of champagne for dates.———Update——My last visit was a shame. I ordered the salmon and the plate had a long hair. I asked to speak to the manager and he looked surprised. Said all my cooked are short balled Mexicans. At the end they re made the food and as always was good. Just don’t understand how people can be so ignorant. Not returning. Truly offended.

Capturing nights like these to look back on makes it all worth it ❤️ @liv_beautifulee and I reunited with @87carlamae and Brannon for double date night @fireflystudiocity for appetizers and drinks. We enjoyed the Dirty Gin Martini, That’ll Do Fig and the Pineapple Express for drinks. We ordered the Charcuterie and Artisanal Cheese Plates with the Spanish Octopus 🐙 The drinks were fantastic and I would highly recommend the Octopus if you’re in to that sort of thing 😂🔥

When we crave fried green olives we know where we are going for dinner. They are addictive! We were told some disappointing news that the menu was to change soon. I hope the olives stay otherwise we will need to find another place.The cocktails were refreshing.We had the olives (of course) Hamachi, farmers salad, burrata, steak frites & the mushroom pappardelle. The meal was tasty!The sticky toffee cake was wayyyy to sweet this time around. Nit good 👎🏻.Hosts were really nice. Our 1st server had not pleasant & kind of rude with plenty of attitude from the jump. 2nd server at end of the night had not an ounce of personality. Very sad considering last 2 times the servers were playful & good.I have a suggestion. Put signage regarding the bathroom location. All night long you see people looking for it, asking the servers or accidentally going into the employee areas. Its annoying for the people at the tables near the bathroom to see this.
