    Large Paella - Chicken & Mushroom
    Yukiko M.

    Went here for tapas with two girlfriends, and it was our first time at this restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot-on, and all the dishes were the perfect size for sharing. If you're planning to order the paella, definitely order it as soon as you sit down--it takes about 40 minutes to prepare. Totally worth the wait, though! Such a fun spot for a girls' night out. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back!

    Although I didn't enjoy the food all that much, my friends highly enjoyed it and the service was great. Food came out extremely quick especially with how busy they were Saturday night. Lots of parking available and ambiance is very nice. My husband loved the bacon wrapped dates and surprisingly I really enjoyed the goat cheese even though it not much a of a cheese girl. Overall good experience.

    We had a group dinner here, and it truly was an amazing experience. We had reservations, so we were seated immediately. We ordered a bunch of different tapas, and we loved all of them. Highly recommend if you were looking for an off strip option.

    Tried this location out for a large corporate dinner. We got to sample quite a few items from their portfolio of fine foods and I'll shed light to some of these items. APPLE MANCHEGO SALAD- Green apple, Manchego cheese, smoked almonds- this was addicting. it was almost an apple/bleu cheese flavor. Awesome. STUFFED DATES- Bacon-wrapped, smoked almond, red wine reduction, blue cheese. All i can say is WOW, these were lights out and i wanted more. HAM & CHEESE CROQUETAS- Serrano ham, manchego cheese, aioli....one of the tastiest dishes i've had. Absolutely crave more of this flavor. STEAK Y PAPAS- Sliced filet mignon (cooked to your liking) with piquillo puree, red wine reduction. The steak was spot on in flavor and temperature and the "papas" appeared to be some sort of sweet potatoes. It was tasty. Chicken & Mushroom PAELLA- This as essentially rice, chicken, mushrooms. Packed with flavor. We tried a few others too, but these dishes stood out. Shout out to the bread with almond butter as well. The service was very prompt and accommodating and there was a vibrant, warm, and festive ambiance.... defined by a lively energy & stylish decor!

    May 26 - Tuna Tartare
    Laura A.

    Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar is a Spanish Tapas Restaurant and Bar with two locations in Vegas. The Hughes Center Drive location is very close to the Las Vegas Strip. There are multiple rich looking large dining areas, a large bar area and a large patio. The Tuna Tartare was our favorite dish last time so we ordered it again. I don't know if they changed their recipe for it but what we were served tasted completely different. If you blow up both my tuna tartare photos you can see that last years plate contained a sauce unlike this years plate. Both menus (last years and this years) say that the tuna is suppose to be marinated. The chunks of tuna that I ate just tasted like raw tuna and the delicious tuna I had before. It still was an ok plate but not amazing like last time. We both enjoyed the Apple Manchego Salad. That was refreshing and delicious. So was the Tomato Basil Soup with Mini Grilled Cheese. I took the smaller 1/2 sandwich and didn't know that my half had most of the cheese. My husband was slightly disappointed with his half. I thought the stuffed peppers were tasty. The Steak and Mushroom Skewers had great flavors to them but the steak was chewier than it should be. I'm still a fan but the food wasn't perfect like last time. Service was mostly good but they don't bring you new plates.

    Tuna Tartare and Patatas Bravas
    Mary Francis G.

    Lovely date night spot right off the strip. The vibes here are outstanding. The place is so well decorated. Prices are VERY reasonable and definitely a plus of this place! Service is also very attentive and awesome, made our anniversary date night very lovely :). My overall thoughts on the food - 3.5/4 out of 5 It's good food. Is it the best tapas place ever? I wouldn't say so. But here is what we ordered and what I thought of it: Tuna tartare: 2.5/5 - nothing terribly special- it was good! Just nothing to write home about Patatas bravas: 3/5 - again, good! But I fear my bar for patatas bravas is really high. So it's hard to impress me with these. I wish there was more sauce and the potatoes were crispier Machego mac and cheese: 5/5 - yea this was delicious. Definitely not an authentic Spanish tapa but man it was fire. The crispy cheese at the top was so *chefs kiss* Pork empanada: 5/5 - this is the dish me and my partner bit into and both of us rang a resounding "mmmmm!". This is really good- you have to get it. Steak y papas: 5/5 - steak was cooked well, the mashed potato is yummy. Solid choice White sangria: 4/5 - not as much fruit flavor as I'd like in a sangria but it was good Flourless chocolate cake: 4/5 - it's not very rich or sweet which is definitely a good thing after a large meal. But if that's what you're looking for, that's not in this.

    Would not recommend

    Beautiful restaurant with plenty of parking. No wait when we came for brunch around 11:30 am on a Saturday but the food and drinks were disappointing. I got the chicken and waffles and the 2 chicken pieces were dry. The fruit mix was the best thing on the plate! The waffles reminded me of frozen ego waffles that I used to eat. The guava basil mocktail was pretty good. A bit on the sweet side but I'm sure the bourbon guava basil would have been delicious. My friends got a spicy Bloody Mary and they said it wasn't spicy at all, just very salty with no alcohol taste, just tomato. We had to ask for extra spice to add it in. Sangrias were decent. I think they were understaffed because no one offered any soda refills.

    Pitcher of red sangria
    Mindy P.

    We were so excited to try this place during our trip to Vegas! We had spent some time in Spain last year and an opportunity to get some of the tapas we had could not be missed. We visited the location on Hughes, which was closer to the strip, but you still need a ride. The restaurant is large, like a Macaroni Grill, with lots of tables, plenty of two-tops. We tried not to compare it to the tiny tapas hole-in-the-wall places in Madrid and Barcelona. We had a reservation, but didn't need one on this Thursday at 6:30. We stood at the host stand for more than 5 minutes as there was no one there. When the hostess arrived, she sat us right next to another couple, you know where there are a bunch of two-tops against a wall with a long bench seat? It was odd, given that there were SO many other available tables. We ordered a pitcher of the red sangria, which was good. I don't know how many glasses there were, but more than two each. Maybe between two and three? Here's what we ordered (unfortunately, we had a bit of a late lunch so we weren't very hungry): Manchego and apple salad--I liked the ideas of the flavors together more than the result. It was fine, but my bites had too much cheese. May have just been the one we got. Bacon wrapped dates--these were really good! The bacon wasn't too fatty. A crisp almond inside. Yum! Camarones al ajillo--this was spectacular! Similar to garlic shrimp we had on a food tour in Madrid. Perfectly cooked shrimp with fried sliced bits of garlic in a garlic sauce. Dip the bread in it! You won't regret getting this dish! It's almost a reason to come here. Service was very fast! So fast that we were in and out in less than an hour. My conclusion--if this restaurant was down the street from my house, I'd frequent it with friends. I'm sure there's more to try that's really good and our appetite was part of the problem. But not worth the cab fare from the strip.

    Very spacious, have different themes at different locations. Services are fast and welcoming. Foods are surprisingly good. We didn't have any dish that was not liked. Highly recommended. Certainly it is a bit in a pricier side, where each tapas dish is average of $16-20/plate.

    We came to Firefly with a big group and basically treated the menu like a checklist. Ceviche shrimp, patatas bravas, pan‑seared scallops, manchego mac and cheese, tierra y mar skewers...and more. You name it, we tried it. Not a single miss. Everything came out flavorful, well‑seasoned, and perfect for sharing. (the only miss was that there wasn't more, but that's only because it was so tasty). I don't remember exactly what I ordered to drink, but it disappeared in seconds, and I could've easily taken down a whole pitcher without thinking twice. The whole table felt that way - dangerous. And yes, it's not on the Strip. Yes, it's absolutely worth going anyway. Yes, the prices are great. Sure, there's plenty of good food and drink on the Strip, but this place is 100% worth the short drive. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

    Amazing love this place!! 10/10 , in the cut and great prices, service was absolutely the best!!!

    This was our first visit to the "new"location, and we brought along another couple visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn't quite live up to expectations. Overall: 3/5 - Underwhelming Ambience: 1/5 The biggest shift is the atmosphere. The new space feels bright and more like a traditional Italian restaurant, lacking the dimly lit, intimate, and slightly mysterious vibe that once made this place feel special. It's a noticeable departure from what we loved before. Food: 4/5 The tapas-style dishes were solid--flavorful and well-prepared. That said, timing is something to be mindful of. Since plates come out as they're ready, ordering everything at once can leave some dishes sitting too long and losing their appeal. Service: 1/5 Service was the biggest letdown of the night. We repeatedly had to flag down our server just to place orders, and basic touches--like refilling water--were completely overlooked. It made the evening feel more frustrating than relaxing. Value: 3/5 For a party of four, we ordered eight tapas and seven cocktails, totaling over $300. While the food quality was decent, the service and overall experience didn't quite justify the price point.

    When the strip has overwhelmed your senses but your looking for an elegant, fresh vibe that makes great food -- Firefly Tapas meets the need. The ambiance offers a diversity of eating sites within its restaurant that can be for candlelit dining, or patio outdoor lounging, or book a private party room for that special occasion. The servers are attentive and eager to create an enjoyable experience for guests. Their red sangria is a sumptuous balance of red wine, infused fruit flavors and very fine apple cubes. Some tapas are more generous in portion and flavor, eg the baby back ribs, bacon dates were gorgeous; but the tortilla española felt a little dry and small in portions; the stuffed chiles were not as flattering. But, high marks for the overall experience and care from the hostess who went above and beyond to sit our party asap.

Pretty good selection of vittles. Egg and carb heavy IMHO. We really wanted some fruit, but that never came around until we were almost ready to leave. Almost all the hot items were served almost lukewarm. Probably due to the fact we were at one end of the dining room and the servers came in from the other end and made their rounds. Selection was pretty good , but I was craving either bacon or sausage and I never saw any making its way to our table. It did seem that by the time the servers got to our table, their trays were pretty close to empty. So maybe mixing it up a bit and starting at different corners with each rotation? But the food was good, definitely brunchie . Standouts to me were the egg benedict's (two kinds) . And the yoghurt and fruit and the berry dish. Other diners at the table thought the mini burgers and the grits were good. (The grits were too creamy for me, but that is just a personal preference) Other diners liked the flatbreads and the ubi pancakes. They do have a bottomless beverage option as well, and our server happily had the bartender prepare a couple to go drinks before we left. Final opinion, still a good deal and alternative to the buffet, especially with respect to lines and wait times... We'll be back of course, still need to get my applewood bacon.

Everything was…read moreabsolutely delicious, and it's a great way to discover and experience different dishes from the menu. The service ( Paula and her team amazing) was also top-class. The entire team was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. Great food, great service, and an amazing overall experience. Definitely a place I would come back to!

    We came to Bazaar Meat in Las Vegas to celebrate my mom's birthday and decided to do one of the…read moretasting menus. Overall, it was definitely a nice experience and the restaurant itself feels perfect for a special occasion, but there were a few things that made the dinner a little disappointing for me. The biggest issue was the wait time between courses. Some of the gaps felt way too long, especially for a tasting menu where you're expecting the courses to flow pretty consistently throughout the evening. My advice would honestly be: don't come starving. We came hungry and there were definitely moments where we were just sitting there waiting and wondering when the next dish was going to come out. Another thing that bothered me was that the food didn't come out in the same order that it was listed on the tasting menu. I've done tasting menus at other restaurants, and I'm used to the courses being served in the order they're presented so you can follow along and know what you're eating and what's coming next. Here, dishes seemed to come out in a different order, which made the experience feel a little less organized. For the type of restaurant and price point, I expected the pacing and presentation of the tasting menu to feel more intentional. The food itself was good and there were definitely dishes we enjoyed, and I'm glad we got to experience Bazaar Meat for my mom's birthday. The atmosphere and overall concept are great for a celebration. I just wish the service and pacing matched the level of the restaurant a little more. Overall, it was a nice experience, but if I came back, I'm not sure I would do the tasting menu again. I'd probably order à la carte so we could choose exactly what we wanted and hopefully have a little more control over the pacing of the meal.

    After an early morning flight into Vegas, my sisters and I went to Chica for brunch. We got a…read morereservation, which didn't really seem necessary as it was pretty empty when we got there. The vibes are really fun, very vibrant and there are various rooms that could offer more intimate spaces if you wanted. We were greeted pretty promptly, but the service was admittedly slow. He was attentive when around, and there was someone always coming around and filling our water, but it did take a bit to get our order in and receive our food. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

    CHICA has a fun, lively atmosphere and is a great spot to grab drinks and share a bunch of…read moredifferent plates. We went during Happy Hour. Every food item on the Happy Hour menu is $12, which makes it a great way to try a variety of dishes without spending a fortune in Vegas. We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.
