Going to Fukuburger located in the same complex a few times, I've seen this place but actually never been inside. Firefly has been on my mind for a couple of months and I decided to book a reservation here at their southwest location for our monthly date night. They also have another location on Paradise Road. Through Yelp, I made a reservation for 6/20/26 at 7:30pm. I guess a reservation wasn't really necessary because it wasn't busy when we showed up and there were plenty of open tables available. It did start getting a little packed towards the end of our visit, though. Tucked away in the back of the restaurant is a small, cozy bar and more regular seating. We started off with some cocktails. I got myself a La Paloma and my LTP got the Fly Tai (possible pun on Mai Tai?). The La Paloma was very fruity, had a salty orange rim, and a dried orange slice on top. The Fly Tai was also fruity and had a dried rosé on top of its' frothy texture. We were also given complimentary bread along with a scoop of butter. Next, we ordered the tapas. We weren't 100% sure how big they were going to be, so we decided on one to share, one for me, and one for him. We ordered the following; Serrano Sliders, Manchego Mac and Cheese, and Tortillas a la Española. The Serrano Sliders came with crispy onions on the side that you can put on by yourself. I'm not a big meat person anymore but these sliders were totally delicious! The Manchego Mac and Cheese was excellent and probably one of the best mac and cheese dishes I've had in a long time. The Tortillas a la Española had a very colorful orange sauce drizzled on them and they were basically like cubed mashed potatoes. The portions on each tapa were very decent and weren't too big for us, so we ended up sharing all three of them due to their size. I loved everything about this place, especially the mac and cheese. The ambiance that had perfect date night feel to it and the service was excellent from beginning to end. I would love to come back again! read more

Firefly. I've eaten at another location off Paradise and was expecting a similar vibe. This was entirely different. Very casual, open, cafe vibes. I didn't hate it but it felt far more casual than I was expecting. While I came here hoping to impress, to me, it felt almost too casual. The food is great. Ample selection of all the traditional favorites and some creative dishes. We had Tortilla Española, Gambas al Ajillo, and Pimientos Rellenos (sort of pictured) and also Scallops "Escargot", and crispy Calamares. While everything was tasty the portions were small, especially for the price I thought. A pitcher of Sangria and five tapas ran us $135 before tip for a party of two. I'm not sure the going rate of tapas in Vegas but this felt like a lot to me. Service was attentive and friendly. Would I go back? Yes, I would. Will I be looking for a better option? I will be doing that too. I think I preferred the location on Paradise. More of the Spanish vibe I was looking for (it's been ages since I've been down that way so...to be honest...I'm not even sure it's still there.) read more

So happy to see this gem is still around. We lived in the area for years and years. Moved away and many years later came back for a visit. I am extremely saddened to see how drastically they have changed their decor. What made firefly such a hot spot and so sexy were the flamenco dancer paintings and the darker interior. Now it felt like something from California. It's still cute but I was shocked. We ordered all of our favorites and every single thing was perfection. Service was good. Pricing has gone up which takes away from the fun tapas experience. We noticed they have a really great happy hour. read more

Absolutely wonderful. The food is amazing, the sangria is delicious and the prices are fair. We've had the scallops, ceviche, ribs and lamb chops and it's all amazing. Highly recommend this place. There beautiful outdoor seating, bar seating and dining room. read more

***Hair in my food** I ordered the Monte Cristo with a side of bacon. After waiting about 20 minutes, I noticed that several customers who arrived after me had already received their meals. Looking toward the kitchen, I saw only my side of bacon sitting there. When my food finally arrived, I was told there had been a "printing issue." Unfortunately, after only a few bites, I pulled a long strand of hair out of my mouth. I asked the bartender to remove the meal from my bill, and her response was simply, "You can leave now." The entire experience was disappointing. There was no apology, no concern about the hair in my food, and no attempt to make the situation right. The lack of customer service and accountability was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I hope those reading this reconsider eating here. read more

We went before happy hour. It's nice but the ambiance is vastly different than when it was located in west Sahara. It features a high ceiling, lots of windows so it is rather bright, and with modern decor at this location. The tapa food portions are okay, but pricey IMO for what you get. The tapas we tried were very good, but the prices were not during happy hour yet. The service was good. The restroom features a fun donkey mural. There is an outdoor private patio that looks inviting. I don't know if I'll return due to the prices. Maybe occasionally. TBD. read more

Tapas for dinner is a fun way to try everything. Our group got to try a mix of hot and cold tapas and lots of seafood. I personally loved the pulpo and the skewers. I'm also a big cheesecake person and I only wish the minis were one large cheesecake. The energy inside was fun and electrifying. Would definitely come back! read more

Giving a gracious 3 stars because the food was delicious but the service and kitchen organization desperately need improvement. We waited 1.25 hours for one dish to come out and this was after me asking the server to bring even just one dish out. She told us the kitchen was backed up but gave no updates or something to help us with that wait. Further, albeit the server was being considerate of my allergy, she canceled a dish our party ordered because I was allergic to it without asking if we actually wanted to cancel it. The rest of our party could've eaten it so that was a mistake on her part albeit well-intentioned. Lastly, on top already mounting awkwardness and possible resentment, our grilled cheese was not melted so we asked for it to be re-done. One friend is vegetarian and this was her main dish than she didn't get to enjoy. When I asked if it could be pressed more, the server showed slight annoyance/confusion. The pacing of the meal was wildly slow. Our server told us twice that the kitchen was backed up but even so, 1.25 hours of waiting for one dish (even a cheese dish) is just bad time management. There was no offering to give free bread or anything to assuage the long wait which I feel is a missed opportunity in hospitality. Further, on our way out, no one said goodbye or thank you for coming which felt cold. The service was bad--period. That's not our fault; it's yours. It's a shame to write this but I'm doing so in hopes that the organization will improve. Not sure yet if I'd come back because of this experience. read more

First time at Firefly Tapas and definitely not the last. Came in thinking that the portions were really going to be small, however, they were shareable for a part of 3. They are kid friendly so be sure to bring your kids with you to try them out. Food was great and I would highly recommend the fries (which you can never go wrong with), chicken empanadas, and the petite filet mignon. They do have seafood options for those who don't eat meat. Service was okay. Only giving it a 4-star because our server took too long to take our order. There was one thing too that I noticed in my receipt after I left... I ordered a mocktail, but meant to order the cocktail version and I asked if it was too late to change my drink. It was literally just the alcoholic version of the cocktail that I initially ordered. Well, when we left I looked at the receipt and noticed that my server still charged me for the drink and did not remove it at all even though she said it was okay. My fault for not double checking the receipt before paying. Otherwise, I'll be back. read more

Good place for small bites for two or more people. The bread they start us off with was a bit stale but the tomato paste they have with it made it pretty tasty. Their fries were so good to munch on. I also really enjoyed the lamb and the octopus. However, the paella was the most disappointing dish ever. Please don't get it. It lacks in flavor. It taste like you're eating bland rice with a hint of tomato(???) and overdone seafood. Also the lychee mule basically tasted like overpriced ginger ale, couldn't even taste the lychee. Service is a bit slow but it's not too bad. read more

Tapas time! I absolutely love coming here. The interior is both beautiful and inviting, and on any decent Vegas day, we always kick things off with sangria on the patio. We usually visit during HH offered Mon-Fri from 4-6 PM featuring discounted drinks and food. Tapas is hands-down one of the most enjoyable ways to dine with smaller portions meaning more variety. Even the complimentary bread with almond and honey butter sets the tone perfectly. Our must-order faves include: Stuffed dates - sweet, chewy, and salty. Albondigas - incredibly moist and filled with fresh herbs. Calamari - light and tender with just the right amount of chew. Baked goat cheese - tangy, warm, and swimming in rich garlic tomato, and pesto. Sangria - fruity and sweet leaving you nice and relaxed. Writing this is making me realize it's been far too long since our last visit. With this gorgeous weather, it's definitely time to go back! read more

I had a pleasant experience here with my 2 girlfriends on a Friday night. We arrived around 8 and didn't have to wait long for a table. We were quickly brought waters & bread. We ordered a bottle of Cab and a bunch of shareables (filet, vegan crab cakes, vegan fries, mac n cheese, and their spicy shrimp). Everything was perfectly cooked especially the petite filet. We had such a great time enjoying the tapas during our conversations. The vibe in here is always relaxing and staff is attentive and friendly. Next time I will try to save room for desert! 10/10 read more

Went to lunch with a close friend, and this was my second time eating at Firefly, but my first time at this location. Right off the bat, I loved how cute and well-decorated the space is. They also have an outdoor patio, which we were hoping to enjoy but unfortunately, it was raining pretty hard that day, so we stayed inside. Our server was really sweet and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. We ended up sharing a few dishes, and everything we had was great! I absolutely loved the Manchego mac & cheese and it was so rich and flavorful. My friend went with her usual avocado toast, which she always raves about, and yep still a favorite! This location is smaller than the other one I've been to, but it has a cozy charm to it. We both agreed this spot is definitely going to be one of our new lunch meet-ups. Hopefully next time the weather cooperates and we can enjoy the fresh air out on the patio. read more

The food was so amazing and the service, once you're seated, was stellar. There was a bit of a wait, even with a reservation? But so worth it. The atmosphere is very comfy and classy but the prices are amazingly cheap for such good food. I recommend putting your pállela order in when you arrive because it takes about 40 minutes to make it but they are very accommodating. read more

After many years here in Las Vegas, Firefly is still a great place to dine for all occasions (had family visiting).

I have been a fan of Firefly for over 15 years from the original location. I was excited when this second location opened up near my mom's. It's smaller and feels more casual than the flagship location but also not as busy. The staff is friendly and the service is great. The menu is nearly the same, though I wish this location would serve gazpacho too. We love the apple manchego salad, stuffed dates, scallops escargot, tomato basil soup (with grilled Brie sandwich), and just about everything we've had here! The flan is also yummy. A welcome addition to the neighborhood, and a family favorite! read more

I had been to Firefly when it was closer to the strip so I believe this can count as my second visit, but first time at this location. I was with my family and baby looking for an assortment of feed to appease everyone's appetites and saw this location. I am so happy we made it for Happy Hour. Most plates were $7 vs the $11 or $14. I'm also happy the ambiance was nice but not overly stimulating or loud so my baby was able to sleep peacefully during our whole meal, only waking once the check arrived! 2 of us ordered a drink and mocktail, we pretty much ordered everything on the happy hour menu, ordering the dates and stuffed peppers twice and our bill came out to $100. I'm happy with that. The favorites were: bacon wrapped dates, calamari, chicken skewers, stuffed peppers and the meatballs. Service was fine, they were really good at the beginning but as the restaurant got busier, closer to 6pm, we had to grab their attention more. There's only two single restrooms so a line quickly forms. I think I will come back, and when I do, I'll for sure I will aim to come during Happy Hour. read more

I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. The restaurant was had a nice vibe and atmosphere. The service was amazing. Our sangria was delightful. We decided to place an order on many different tapas. The ones I do remember getting were the fries, crabcakes, and calamari. To be honest with you, the taste and flavor of the food left me feeling like something was missing. I wasn't that impressed. Our bill came and we spent over $150 for four of us. I think that the food and the portions do not merit the price point. read more

Good food but slow service. Inside was full so the only option was to sit outside. Food arrived in a timely manner but our server rarely came back we had to flag her down several times just to get our water poured. The table next to use walked inside to get the same server so they had issues too. Croquets were delicious and the tuna tartare. Overall if I come back I would not sit outside as those tables seem to get neglected. read more

Great place for tapas! The restaurant was so clean and the workers were very friendly. We ordered a bunch and shared, so good!

We came to this location because they had an event going on for Sunday. The music and energy was lively. We ordered our food and drinks and everything arrived at a timely manner except for my son's chicken and waffles. It was 40 minutes later and two follow ups with the wait staff before it was brought to our table. My son watched us eat while he waited for his food. I was told by the waitress it was because they were busy and chicken and waffles takes longer to make. I asked to speak with the manager and she was argumentative. She kept trying to push the idea that the chicken and waffles took 40 minutes to make. The dish as you can clearly see is 1 round waffle cut into 4 pieces and two chicken nuggets split into two pieces, stacked up with a garnish of strawberries and powdered sugar served to us cold. Not hot or even warm. Cold. The situation would have been handled better if they owned up to possibly haven given my son's order to another table by accident or the kitchen forgot about his order. I would have not been so upset and would have been more understanding. I know nothing is perfect and it's not my first time dining here. But to continue to argue with me and push the idea that this mediocre dish took 40 minutes to prepare is absurd. Their paella takes 45 min to prepare and they put a disclaimer on the menu. I told the manager if you know your chicken and waffles takes this long to make why is it not written on the menu like your paella? Why didn't your wait staff check to see if i was willing to wait for 40 minutes for my son to eat his meal? She eventually offered to take the dish off my check. But at that point I was already annoyed and frustrated. That manager needs to do better at handling customer service and shouldn't approach customers with an attitude. Her vibe didn't match at all the restaurants or any of my past experiences with Firefly. I've been dining at firefly for over 15 years in all their locations and if there was ever an issue it was always handled with how can we make it right. Not arguing with the customer. We still enjoyed ourselves and the rest of our dishes we ordered were brought to our table at a timely manner. read more

I came here for the first time with a large group. Everything ranging from little kids to our grandma. There was something on the menu for everyone. Macaroni, sliders, fries for the kids, and a big bar menu for the adults. All the food was really good and we just happen to come during happy hour. There were lots of dishes and drinks on the happy hour menu, which was great. The artichoke toast, steak y papas, tuna tartare, and churros stuck out the most out of all of our dishes. But everything was great. The service was also very friendly from everyone there. I would definitely go back. read more

We had a rather large party. We pre-printed our entire order and they had a lot of issues. I had it fully typed out (3 orders of stuffed dates, for instance) and they brought one. We had to explain it over and over. Had to keep count of everything and explain we only received one or two of something, rather than the requested 3. The food was good, but I think the other location is definitely better. This location is quite small in comparison as well. read more

This is my 3rd time here - there is a reason I keep coming back! If you like tapas (and how could you not) definitely give this place a shot if you're in the area. Every time I've been here we have gotten the stuffed peppers and stuffed dates. Both are 10/10. This time we also tried the lamp chop and ribs and both were super tender and delicious. Don't miss out on the apple manchego salad - that was definitely a sleeper! I also got a seasonal carrot cocktail that was unique and delicious too As before, the service was good! They did a really good job of keeping my water full. I love this place. Will most likely be back when my parents visit because of the extensive Gluten free options and because it's delicious! read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Las Vegas. Every dish you order is bursting with flavor and perfectly curated. They provide freshly baked bread, which is so yummy dipped in all the sauces that are on the tapas. I could order 10 plates of the stuff dates, by far the best thing on the menu. Sat on the patio on a Wednesday night and it was perfect weather and overall great ambiance. Service is also great! Highly recommend. read more
