Firefly is a tapas style restaurant. If you have never had tapas, you're missing out! It's a Spanish style meal meaning "small plates." The idea behind this style of cuisine is everyone orders a few small dishes and shares with the table. This is a great way to try something new without having to fully commit to it. The fear of ordering something awful at a restaurant and being stuck with it for dinner always keeps ordering on the safe. With tapas, throw your inhibitions and hesitations behind because this is the perfect chance to try something a little bit new. I love tapas style any time and anywhere but Firefly is at the top of my list. If only they weren't only in Vegas....
They have multiple locations in the Vegas area, but they have a location just a block or two off the Strip on Paradise Blvd. There are many great things about this place including the extensive menu, the great prices (compared to most tapas restaurants especially in Vegas), and the quality of the food.
The menu has a million choices and I have had several of them and have not been disappointed. Some of my favorites are the Camarones a la Diabla (Spicy Shrimp) which I discovered thanks to a friend. The Albondigas are also great but I'm not sure what the meat is, typically this dish is made with lamb but I can't be sure. I also enjoy the Petit Filet. It's a steal at only $10 and includes fingerling potatoes. Its a small cut but you'll be enjoying so many other delicious things it won't matter. The Firefly fries are a must for the table along a pitcher of mojitos! The Ceviche is also an excellent lighter choice. It is a quite good rivaling ceviches in California which for a short geography lesson is located closer to the ocean than Vegas.
I highly recommend hitting this place up on your next trip to Vegas but make a reservation as it is always packed!
