   The food here was very good. The sweet and spicy shrimp was definitely to die for. And the ice berg salad is a very unique salad and also very good. I recommend this restaurant.

   We were so excited to drive from Destin to eat here and unfortunately they messed up my friends steak, they forgot our appetizers, the salmon was not good, we wanted to sit under the tree with the lights but they say us near guitars 🎸 when we really wanted to sit under the tree hints the reason we came all the way there. Our deserts were mixed up when taken from us to be boxed, my friends 2nd steak he didn’t get to eat bc it was also mixed up and we were given the wrong bags. This was our reunion, our anniversary, and we tipped the guy $50 on our $145 bill. Very disappointed overall. Would love to try again if the business handles this complaint with a gift certificate to make up for the awful experience but other than that would not recommend or go back.

   We have been going to FIREFLY for about 5 years now. We can always count on a consistent quality of food and service. This time was no exception. As a matter of fact, our server "Russ" was superb. He explained the dishes about which we had questions. The steak was done to perfection (butterflied and medium well). Our water glasses were always kept full without our requesting more. My husband had lamb chops and couscous. The appetizer, crab cakes, were the best we had ever eaten. A lot of thought had to go into that recipe. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

   The service was amazing, everything was fast and very fresh. The bread with the butters and sauce was the best I’ve ever had. The shrimp appetizer was mouth watering and I enjoyed every bit celebrating with my boyfriend. I would definitely recommend this place, not to mention the price wasn’t outrageous for the delicious food we got!

   Long wait despite having a reservation. Also was called to be seated once, then told it was a mistake and had to wait longer. They were very busy, so that wasn’t a complete mood ruiner. Our waitress was not very kind and unfortunately put a bit of a damper on the evening. Also mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary but was rushed out after dinner and I’m not sure why they have you specify a special occasion because nothing was done for it? It was a bit over hyped for just okay service and decent food. Not worth the wait. I wouldn’t come back again.

   Perfect venue for a birthday celebration. The food was outstanding, including the elk short ribs, the rack of lamb, and shrimp and grits. Each presentation was pleasing. Dessert was an excellent crème brûlée presented aflame! The wine selection, as well as the choice of bourbons (Pappy’s and Blanton’s) were better than we expected. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    This was a family celebration dinner. The waitress was attentive and did a good job. This restaurant doesn’t have an identity, it tries to be something it’s not. It has a Vegas feel to it, dark with service staff huddling in the hallways. Get them in and a out. Overpriced food selections lacking in presentation warranting such. They charge you additional 3.5% if using an credit card. The red snapper special was dry and disappointing. Both chicken and steak offerings were enjoyed, but expensive. Drinks are acceptable, but pricey. Folks seeking a memorable evening, serving food to match have very limited options in PCB. To their credit, they offered to correct my disappointment.

    Me and my wife originally came here for our third wedding anniversary. Everything was great. I'm from the industry, and know how table touches, maybe a dessert, little things go a long way. Enter our 5th anniversary, at the same restaurant. Our server, Molly, started out polite enough, but after her first act she was non-existent. I acknowledge we came over Memorial day weekend, and they were busy. She never checked on my filet mignon, which I ordered medium but came out rare. But it was a good steak. Then come check time, she informed us that "management" chooses who makes the cut for a dessert or champagne toast, and that they don't do that on the fly. We made our reso months ago, and was in the notes of special occasion. Then Molly tried to push their sister restaurant on us for a competition they had. Said to drop her name. For these reasons, it is not a special occasion place we wish to frequent again.

    Side dining rooms are not great, we asked for the main dining room and were told no as they were booked When we were seated at 5:15 there were at least 10 open tables in the main dining room instead they sat us right next to a large party of 8 with a crying baby Food was average and all us ordered different things red fish special , ribeye , and grouper , seems like Fire Fly is compromising and losing their vision of remaining a top classy recommendation for a great dinner Would not recommend after my experience last night

    Escargot was to die for! Same for the crab cakes. Stuffed filet was amazing as was the Elk. From start to finish was perfect. Love the atmosphere and decor. I’ve never had a dining experience that outstanding in PCB. You’ve got to try this place out.

    received a gift certificate for Mother's Day and made a reservation. Lovely restaurant, very attentive service, and delicious food! We started with the kobi beef bruschetta, delicious! Then a seafood chowder, wonderful. Husband had stuffed filet mignon which he thoroughly enjoyed; I had scallops which were also very good. Order a lobster tail to share, delicious! We took dessert to go, chocolate torte and key lime pie. Both good but like the key lime pie better. Very enjoyable evenng

    First visit to the Firefly while vacationing in PCB. There is plenty of parking as the restaurant is in a shopping center. The ambience of the restaurant is nice but the main dining room is a big room with a very big tree in the center. The tree is unusual and lovely, however some ambience is lost because of the big room as it's a little noisy. (Nothing to block or sooth sounds in such a large room). The service was great. Giselle and everyone did a fantastic job or taking care of us. The bread was fresh and soft and served with 3 spreads...savory, sweet and tomato like marinara. My husband found them to be good but I opted for butter. We ordered the Brussel Sprouts appetizer which my husband loved. the dressing they served with it was the perfect compliment. I had a wedge salad which was plentiful with bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese. Excellent blue cheese dressing. My husband enjoyed his Ceasar salad which was served in a large parmegiana bowl. Nice touch! My husband ordered the Filet with whipped potatoes and haricot vert and really liked it. I really wanted a steak but the only choices were 2 Filet dishes and a 2 lb Rib Eye. I don't care for filet mignon but ordered it because that was the only viable steak option. My husband really enjoyed his meal. Mine was fine. I did order a lobster tail too which was a cold water tail and very sweet! In fact, if I ever return, I'd probably go with the 2 lobster tails entree. Overall the entrees were varied with Elk and Bison on the menu. But I was hoping for a few more fish and steak entree choices. My husband was very happy with his meal. My dinner came home in a "to go" box (I got full on the salad) which hubby just finished for his for lunch today. He said it was just as good as the other night.

    First time at Firefly. Food was EXCELLENT - had escargot, sushi, and a wedge salad. Be sure and ask for the bread - the different spreads are really good. … The atmosphere in the main dining room is very nice. … The service is where the issues were. However, hopefully that was just her, and not all.

    The drinks and service was good, but the food I experienced so much more , it wasn’t terrible but I got the twin lobster tails and it just did not taste very fresh at all. May have just been that night but I wasn’t super impressed with my food.
