    Paella
    Alex P.

    My friends took me here for my birthday and I left absolutely stuffed. We must have ordered one of everything and nothing disappointed. I had been to the older location a long time ago and was pleasantly surprised to walk into a modern, clean and spacious spot. There weren't many servers when we went but the food came out fast so we hardly noticed. We had a great time!

    Started off with the lamb chops...cooked perfectly, and fantastic flavor. Also had the tierra y mar skewers...delicious...loved the sauce on there. Finished with the baked goat cheese. Sooooooo yummy! Service was excellent, and the ambiance is nice, but a little loud. Can't wait to come back again.

    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.

    It's been a while since I've reviewed Firefly and it continues to be one of my favorite places. I especially like bringing friends visiting Vegas here since it's different and the Happy Hour in the Bar is always a good deal. The hostess may be new because she seemed a little awkward when we asked to sit in the bar area. There was a table available but it had dishes still on it. It seemed like she didn't know how to get it cleared off as she looked around. After a few minutes someone came to clear the table. Our server was friendly and answered questions my friends had. They have had tapas only once before. I ordered my faves for the table, and they enjoyed everything. Faves of the faves were Bacon Wrapped Dates, Empanada, Ham & Cheese Croquetas, and Albondigas (Meatballs) . Happy Hour is 4pm - 6pm, Monday through Friday. The bar area is upbeat and a good vibe with lots of natural light, like the whole place. Lots of easy parking.

    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.

    Five of us came here for dinner after a conference. The portions were perfect and we ordered way too much. The server was very kind and attentive. I just wish he had told us we ordered too much. Unfortunately we weren't able to take leftovers as we were going out after. The space is very stylish and loved the big tree. Felt like we were outside. Everything we had was delicious!

    This restaurant is overpriced. Came here for happy hour, ordered sliders and water. $16.00 is too much from this small quantity of food. Not worth a second visit in my opinion. Had no alcohol.

    Tried Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar for the first time and had a great experience overall. All the dishes were excellent, with the paella being the star of the show, definitely worth the wait. I definitely recommend ordering a few different tapas (all of them were flavorful!) while you wait since the paella takes about 40 minutes to prepare. My only complaint was that it took about 30 minutes for our waiter to take our order, but everything else was great. Lastly it was close to the Strip, which makes it a super convenient spot.

    Wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before our show but didn't want fast food or a fancy restaurant. Tapas were a great choice. Super cute restaurant that was beautifully decorated. Perfect tapas portions. Ingredients were fresh and the food was seasoned well. We had the ahi tuna, fish sticks, and Tierra y Mar skewers. Their bread service and spread was delicious. To drink we had the firefly mule. Prices were higher than expected for tapas but we had a good overall experience. Just need to manage expectations on cost before going. We'll be back.

    Firefly Fries
    Ashley L.

    We ordered a bunch of dishes. Firefly fries, seafood paella, baked goat cheese, empanadas, and scallops. Everything was excellent. Service was good, and the ambiance was perfect. We sat near the TVs and got to watch football, which made it even better. Will definitely come back.

    Firefly is always great. Steak skewers and Patas Bravas are my favorite. I've been here recently twice and had a large girls brunch a while back. The have a great room for a larger party. The room is semi private and works great for an executive dinner or fun birthday brunch. Highly recommend a group as there are lots of great things for sharing. I mostly order a few small plates.

    My girls and I met here before we went to see a play. Fire fly has been on my list for years but in the past they had too many issues with being closed down and being in dirty dinning. Upon arriving, location has changed and it beautiful as ever inside. They had plenty of room, to include the bar Ave bar dining, a private room for parties and regular area seating. It's so beautiful inside. We came in Saturday no Happy hour but we ordered damn near everything on the menu! Service was great Ava's food came out hot and I was throughly pleased with everything ordered. Everything from shrimp, empanadas, sliders, and apple salad, steak, mussels... was 10/10!!!!

    Chicken Skewers
    Jeannie C.

    Wait staff were amazing and very friendly. We sat outside on the patio which was so nice and spacious. They served small plates of different things. The chicken skewers were so good, as well as the empanadas, pullover, and meatballs. Reasonably priced and clean throughout.

Today's visit proved exactly why they are so consistent. They prioritize intentional quality over mindless quantity. I love their unique approach of serving dishes in individual mini baskets and plates. It completely elevates the experience, making it feel like a curated tasting menu rather than a standard buffet. The mini bone marrows are an absolute standout, and one of the reasons I am a repeat customer. Because of the perfectly portioned sizes, they never taste overly greasy. I admittedly ate quite a few! I typically do not care for buffet desserts, but I enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberries (stems attached), mini creme brûlée & fruity pebbles rice crispy treats coated w vanilla (reminded me of the old Milk macarons from LA).

They have plenty of tables and an open kitchen where you can see them grilling steaks. They also have fridges full of different cuts of steak you walk by on your way to the restrooms. They have plenty of staff and the staff are really great. Our waiter Josue was excellent. As a group of 5, we tried the sloppy joes, pan con tomate, embutidos (different charcuterie), A5 cheesesteak, neptune's pillow and gazpacho as starters. Everything was tasty but the sloppy joes were incredible. So much flavor and a great mix of textures. We loved them so much, we got a second order. Highly recommend you order these if you go (two come per order). This was my favorite dish of the night. For entrees we ordered the lamb bacon, arroz meloso de cangrejo and a 2lb Washugyu steak with sides of mushrooms (setas al ajillo) and butter potatoes. Important note, all of the steaks are priced per pound, but the smallest size they offer is 2lbs so it is double the price. The lamb bacon was not good and I would not order it again. We should have known it would be fatty given that is called lamb bacon but it was roughly 90% fat which was far too much for our liking. We also did not enjoy the cheese sauce it was smothered in. The arroz meloso had decent flavor (was actually spicy which we enjoyed, but is not noted on the menu so beware if you are sensitive to spice) but had pieces of crab shell in it. When we mentioned it to a server, he said that is normal and the manager came by to repeat what he said and offer to make us another which we declined (kudos for very attentive service). The steak however was phenomenal. Cooked perfectly and extremely tasty. I really liked eating it with the mushrooms which were delicious. The butter potatoes are billed as having butter, butter and more butter and they are not lying. While others loved them, they were way too buttery for me. The steak takes awhile to cook and Josue rightly recommended we order that first then figure out apps, sides etc so that we would not be waiting too long. The meal was spaced out nicely and we really enjoyed it. It is quite expensive, but the quality of food and service live up to it.
