The food was very delicious and the menu had many options. They are very accommodating for gluten allergies, they offered to fry my appetizers in fresh oil to avoid cross contamination, which was very nice of them. The food was fresh, hot, and clean. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was welcoming and very nice. My family and I will definitely return. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Visited with a large group tonight and had a fantastic time! Our party ordered a variety of food and drinks from the menu and everything was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The menu had a good selection of different options and the vegetarians and meat eaters alike all were able to find something. Prices and serving sizes are on par with similar restaurants in my opinion but you are supporting local when you choose Firefly! :)The decor of the large space is beautiful and makes for a great back drop for special occasions and gatherings of all sizes.

Great variety in the menu, you'll find something for everyone. A nice midpoint of casual-upscale alternative to the chains like Earls/Joey. Our particular server seemed new but was eager to please and attentive. Some good options for happy hour/daily specials.

First with the good. Location is nice, good decor and ambiance, immediately feels like a great place for a date, but the good ends there.We tried out the drinks, and had a dessert. First thoughts: No balance in anything that we’ve ordered. The pannacotta was overly sweet, almost yogurt-like and presented in a glass not fit for sharing (which is the best part about a date). The drinks are spirit forward, and again imbalanced. Sweet components in both “The Queen” and the Old Fashioned were lacking, resulting in either a overly tart and salty experience for the former or overly bitter experience for the latter. Lastly, the music does not fit the atmosphere.The texture of the pannacotta was nice though.All together, the experience was lacklustre despite the initially great atmosphere we were greeted with. For this price point, we expected more. Not mad, just disappointed.

I went there on a Friday evening with a booking. Our waitress was nice and the food was good. I would say drinks are a bit pricier but I guess that's the price you have to pay when you go out these days. Overall this place is a nice spot to visit.

We had our end of season staff dinner here and it was fantastic!Simply some of the best food I've ever had in any restaurant in Edmonton. The chefs there really took it to another level with the deserts. I NEVER take pictures of my food, but I had to snap a couple of these deserts. They were works of art and tasted as good as they looked! Service was excellent, and decor was superior. Overall it felt like a special evening and not just another night out.

First off I loved my server! I can't remember her name... starts with an F! She made our visit so much more enjoyable as we came in on a slow night. The food was great, drinks were unique and we would definitely go back!

I had seen photos of the interior of this restaurant & wanted to try it. We sat in a back booth where the funky, grandma wallpaper is. Love that wall, sadly, you sit with your back to it. The 1/2 wall in front of us could use a little something, maybe greenery or something, but I’m an interior design snob.The front dining room is lovely and there’s a nice private dining area.I ordered the Cajun chicken burger. Loved the arugula on it & pickles. I’ve never had pickles on one. It was also piping hot which is unusual & nice. But I’m not sure it had any Cajun spice in it, but I biggy.My brother had the chicken Alfredo and liked it & it was also piping hot the whole time he ate it. And his friend had the bacon cheeseburger and really liked it.I didn’t take food photos, I always forget, but presentation was nice.We had the molten lave cake for dessert - YUM! And great presentation, very original with a nice touch. And the cheesecake which got good reviews.Our server was lovely & had great banter with our weird selves.I hope people support this lovely local spot. It’s important that we support all our amazing local businesses & local restaurateurs

Had an absolutely wonderful lunch experience here with my husband and 5 year old daughter! When we walked in I was a bit worried they might not seat us haha - the decor and atmosphere are very upscale, and we were dressed VERY casually as we were headed out on a road trip after lunch. The staff did not bat an eye at our appearance; they were incredibly friendly and welcoming.Service throughout was quick and pleasant. The food was so flavourful, we all ate slowly to savour every mouthwatering bite. Prices are a bit on the high end, but 100% worth it.The cherry on top was how wonderful the staff was with our daughter. The host brought her some crayons and a chef’s hat to colour on and take home. Then when the bill came we jokingly said our daughter would have to learn some waitressing to help pay it. She was very eager to do it, so the waitress gave her a couple little jobs clearing items to “help”. It was very sweet. The host came up again and chatted with us as we walked out, just incredibly friendly.We left with full stomachs, satiated palates, and lifted spirits. Thank you Firefly!

Now that they are working out the new restaurant kinks, they shine in every way. The decor and atmosphere is pleasing to the eye; the service is relaxed friendly yet professional, and the food is the best we've had in recent memory. Reasonably priced, tasty, and served hot and fresh. If you are hungry and in the area, Firefly is where it's at.

Overall experience was great! Great service and good food! Went here for dinner and was looking for forward to some fresh drinks and they didn’t disappoint! Initially had a problem with the caesar but it was taken off the bill by the manager and redeemed by the old fashion. The crab cakes came in a coconut Thai curry soup that was amazing! So delicious ? also tried the soup and had a ribeye with broccoli and a heaping amount of mash potatoes which were cooked perfectly! Will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu!

Horrible experience overall. Less than adequate ventilation which made it hard to breathe with all the smoke. Food and drinks took over an hour to arrive despite an almost empty restaurant. When they did arrive, it was evident that they cheaped out on ingredients and had incredibly small portions for the price. The service was EXTREMELY poor and unprofessional, the server made inappropriate comments and lacked the social cues to provide adequate service to our party. Drinks are incredibly watered down and don’t forget the automatic 20% gratuity at the end. Never again. Would not recommend.
