Rachel KSeptember 26, 2015The 3 course prix fixe meal is a pretty decent option for $55. I picked the ricotta gnocchi with macadamia nuts and foam for my entree and a dessert called Summertime with 2 sorbets and melon.

Johnnie SkywalkingNovember 23, 2015Fried olive can't be missed. Salmon either. Even crowded, wait to be seated at dinner table than bar table. Fancy interior to entertain your dinner inside.

NarineAugust 17, 2013The best coconut mojito and fried olives on this planet, coupled with great ambiance - a bit pricey but worth it.Upvote1Downvote
Dona WilliamsJuly 21, 2013The mussels absolutely live up to the hype and the beef tenderloin is life changing! Can't beat the outdoor patio on a summer night, a very, very special place.UpvoteDownvote

Neel GuptaNovember 16, 2018Hidden gem of studio city, old school pornstar hangout (apparently?). Great drinks, food is good too.UpvoteDownvote
Larisa GrollemondFebruary 11, 2017Check out the bar for a fun place to have a cocktail, lots of seating but grab a res for restaurant seating.UpvoteDownvote
What's not to like, no sign outside but usually pretty crowded nonetheless. Friendly bartenders and great desserts.UpvoteDownvote
Jason CFebruary 15, 2019Gorgeous restaurant that feels 25 times larger inside than it looks from the outside.Upvote1Downvote
Crystal RoseSeptember 10, 2011Make reservations. Firefly is always packed but the food is worth the wait. (I miss the bread pudding!!!!). The unisex bathroom makes for awkward introductions and great conversation...Upvote1Downvote
Yvonne WangJanuary 17, 2014Make sure you order a Moscow Mule from Jack; they are my drink of choice and his are the best I've ever had!UpvoteDownvote

Jessika 🌹October 21, 2012Beautiful place. Feels like you're lounging in a secret garden/ vampires lair. I'll be back. The unisex bathroom does trip me the hell out though!Upvote1Downvote
David JensenMarch 4, 2011Best Mussels I have ever had! Hands down, I will come back over and over just for these mussels. Oh, and everything else is awesome too!UpvoteDownvote
Monique LamMay 24, 2019Make sure you read the fine print on the menu. They charge you for everything and trick you into doing to the pre-fix menu.UpvoteDownvote

Josh RobinsOctober 28, 2021Food is pretty standard. Nothing stands out as amazing, which disappointingly does not match the price or ambiance.UpvoteDownvote
