Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar

Such a fun place! Sooooo many good little plates. This is the absolute perfect place for the indecisive. You can just order a bunch of small plates and enjoy it all. The wagu steak skewers are epic and honestly, there's nothing here I don't love. The service is awesome and you can get reservations online. The place is dim and intimate. Great spot to bring friends or come for date night. Highly recommend!

I had called the day before to make the reservation and when we arrived, we were seated at our table right away! Since we figured this was tapas-style (small plates), we ordered numerous dishes to accommodate our party. We actually ordered way too much food and I was our waiter had told us that it would be more than enough or to reduce the number of tapas we ordered. Service was organized and efficient. They brought out plate after plate in a timely fashion and announced what the dish was so everyone knew what they were about to eat. As far as tapas goes, I would consider it Americanized tapas, not authentic Spanish tapas. The standouts to me were the Patatas Bravas, Pan-roasted Brussel Sprouts, Padron Peppers, Shrimp Ceviche, and the Seafood Paella. Everything else was either just okay or not worth a try, in my opinion. The Dessert Platter was a nice, sweet note to end on. I liked the churros the most. If you're looking for a place to have a large group dinner, Firefly is a solid option for most dietary restrictions!

I've been to their old location a couple of times. My recent visit was at their new location. It is so much bigger. I made a same day reservation for a Monday night for 7:30pm. Unfortunately the service was poor and inattentive. The bus boy treated us better than the actual waitstaff. They gave us complimentary bread and garlic butter. The bread was left out too long as it had gotten stale. Between the 3 of us in our group we ordered 8 tapas and 3 drinks which was more than enough to share. The red wine sangria was really good and they also offer it in white and sparkling. We ordered the following:Steak y papas 4/5Artichoke toasts 4/5Golden beet salad 4/5Stuffed dates 4/5Steamed mussels 4/5Pan seared scallops 4/5Chorizo clams 4/5Patatas Bravas 2/5For the steak they asked how we wanted the steak cooked. We asked for medium rare and it was on the more rare side. I'm disappointed in the bravas. It was more roasted than fried crispy. Maybe that's how this restaurant does it. We did ask for another round of complimentary bread and it was much better this time, perfect for dipping into the mussel and clam sauces. Overall the food is delicious as I remembered, but the service could improve.

Yum yum firefly. I love the tapas of Firefly. This is my third time in their new location. The service was a bit slow tonight but other than that everything was good. The highlights were the ribs, the Mac and cheese and the pork empanadas. Very good coffee and sangria too.

I love this place. The food is always solid and the location is beautiful. I will say that some of the tapas tasted a bit different than I have had in the past. For instance, the shrimp with garlic was much spicier and the pan seared sea scallops were also quite spicy. I don't mind spice, but some at our table did. The food was all very good and fresh though. The service was quick and they checked on us regularly. If you are looking for a small plate / tapas style restaurant? This is the place! Ask for the bread and marinaded olives for the table, as they are free!

The perfect spot for tapas--highly recommend Firefly! Ambiance & Service: Spacious, modern interior with friendly service. Food arrived lightning fast! Food & Drink:- Sparkling Sangria: Great deal, more than enough for 2. - We tried 5 tapas (Patatas Bravas, Brussel Sprouts, Tomato Soup, Baked Goat Cheese, Manchego Mac & Cheese)--all phenomenal and packed with flavor. - Must-try: Baked Goat Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, and Churros for dessert. Next time, I'd stick to 4 tapas for 2 people. TL;DR: Delicious tapas, great service, and a modern vibe. Don't miss the Baked Goat Cheese!

Came to celebrate my bachelorette weekend and had a great brunch here! My group and I loved every dish. Service was great considering there were 7 of us. Very patient and helpful staff. Interior is cute and aesthetically pleasing! Would def recommend coming here. Had a great time!

We really enjoyed our food here! Unfortunately, we were rushing to a show and didn't have the time to leisurely linger and enjoy as it much as we would have liked. The wait staff was great about helping us by getting the dishes out quickly so we could leave on time. Favorites were the bacon-wrapped dates w/almond, the peppers, and the scallops. The staff was great and it had a lovely ambience. We'll definitely go back next time we'll in town.

I ordered the mixed paella based on all the reviews I saw- I personally didn't love it. It was very acidic for me. Everything else was great. We also ordered the lamb chops and the tuna tartare which was very good! Their bread and butter is to die for, I loved their butter! Service was excellent and I would definitely return just for that!

I'm mainly writing this because I love Firefly, but I also have a proposition. There's a restaurant out here in Sun City Anthem that's not doing well and is now getting a revamp called "Yorktown Grill". I would love to see it become Firefly Anthem location. People out here just want good appetizers, a stiff drink, and to visit with friends. If Firefly took it over it would be packed! Just a really good suggestion I hope you'd consider!
