Firefly

The moment we have entered the restaurant we fell in love with the interiors. It is absolutely beautiful 😍 modern, GREEN🌿and fresh😍

But the most important thing was FOOD obviously 😉 and that didn't disappoint either. There were few items missing from the menu which I think the restaurant could work a little harder to get (it's my second visit on the first visit there was so many items missing we changed the venue).

However what we got was really good. The satay chicken burger with papaya slaw was a perfect combination of sweet and salty. It melts in your mouth my favourite dish 🤤 for Kamil it was the pinacolada french toast that he couldn't get enough of. It was filled with fresh coconut and grilled pineapple not mention it was absolutely beautiful 😍you eat with your eyes that's a FACT 🤷

The starters we had were tempura prawns with sriracha mayo and some freshly whipped hummus. So much flavour and quality ingredients on tinny plate 🙌well done🙌

The least favourite was the beef brisket waffles. It was dry really dry and lacking flavour. We were missing maybe some good old fashioned maple syrup? Or any sweet&sour sauce that would make this dish complete 🤔

Regardless the one dish that we were not huge fan of the experience was great. Their service is outstanding massive thank you to Natalie who always made sure we have everything we need😍 there is still a lot more that we want to try so we certainly will be returning 🎉

We went at 1pm and the restaurant was not that busy. The food had halal
options. The beef was soft and well cooked which I was pleased with.  Yorkshire pudding was delicious but the veg was on the bland side. Overall would defo recommend and I would suggest you try it out . If you don’t like noise go in the morning before 3pm. Staff were very polite and accommodating.

I recently visited Firefly on a Thursday evening, taking advantage of their 50% off deal. We shared a variety of dishes, including the halloumi and sushi, both of which I would recommend. The staff were helpful and able to answer our questions, although there were occasional delays due to the venue being busy. With the discount applied, the experience was worthwhile; however, the regular pricing seems a tad steep for the offerings. The music added to the nice vibe, making the atmosphere enjoyable overall.

We stayed in a hotel Friday night and the original plan was to come here for lunch on Saturday after we checked out. However on the Friday we were walking past and decided to nip in for a cocktail. First impressions were confusion... why was it absolutely dead at about 6:15pm on a Friday evening. I don't know the area so maybe this is the norm... but other places nearby were much busier. Next impression was the decor... beautiful and such attention to detail, for example the table decoration. The venue smells lovely, I'm not sure how they do it! Interesting drinks menu, I had a watermelon fizz which was lush. So why only three stars?! The staff / service. Despite being pretty much the only people in there staff were totally indifferent to our presence. The doorman was engrossed in his phone and looked confused that we'd walked past him without him noticing. The hosts or whoever were stood near the door barely acknowledged us. The icing on the top was the barman who served us. He had like a top half pony. I tried to start a conversation about the cocktail menu and he just looked at me like I was a piece of rubbish. He was surly / grunty and needs to learn how to crack a smile. Zero warmth or customer service. Beer choice was also poor, my other half is into craft beers etc so ended up getting a soft drink. Needless to say we scrapped our plans to go there for lunch the next day.

I went during lunch, was quite quiet but it had a deal on. The atmosphere and decoration was nice, I would recommend the sushi and sides but not the mains. The truffle spaghetti was extremely expensive for what it is, although the portion is quite generous there wasn’t much flavour and it definitely did not taste like truffle.

The ramen broth didnt have much flavour and the beef yakitori texture was not tender and had a grainy texture.

I ordered the rainbow roll and sashimi, which was worthy and tasted quite fresh. The sides of chicken wings and bravas was quite different from your standard potatoes.

Overall I would only go when they have an offer, otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it and I would not order the mains I mentioned.
