Brad Levy is the Chef-Owner and has been since the restaurant's opening in 1993. He comes from Saint Louis where talking about food takes back seat to eating it. Gourmet palates and common folk alike have enjoyed his quirky Midwestern sensibilities for the past decade. Brad reflects "13 years ago, we opened our doors with not much money and a lot of passion for what we do. During the following years, we've been able to refine every aspect of our business and realize our dream of giving this city an elegant, unpretentious casual neighborhood restaurant; with attention to detail at every level, a cuisine all its own, and a caring, competent and knowledgeable staff." Firefly has always been committed to using ingredients that reflect our connection to our community: organic, locally grown produce when possible, and meats that are hormone and antibiotic free.

Firefly Restaurant 52 reviews (415) 821-7652 4288 24th St San Francisco, CA 94114 www.fireflyrestaurant.com Write a Review Edit Business \| Upload Photo \| E-mail to Friend	Editorial Description by Citysearch The Scene A metal firefly flickers above the door of this quintessential neighborhood gem. Inside the cottage-like nook, a cream-colored canopy tents the ceiling of both dining rooms, which are separated by white walls sporting stucco designs. Casually dressed servers bustle to the sounds of jazz, offering snappy service and helpful menu suggestions. The Food Ethnically diverse offerings change regularly, ensuring fresh specialties that sparkle. The only staple is the shrimp and scallop pot stickers, whose soft center is balanced by crunchy edges. Similar textures comprise the white corn pancakes that are served with sweet, slightly spicy shrimp remoulade. Polaroid-ready entrees taste as good as they look. All meats come from drug-free Neiman Ranch and classic, roasted preparations are sure bets, like Alaskan halibut surrounded by glowing English pea puree or sliced chicken breast paired with chunky new potatoes and fava bean mash. Rated 9.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Firefly Restaurant is definitely something to buzz about... 4 By L L. \| Insider Guru \| Rank: 1,238 Firefly Restaurant I have eaten at the Firefly restaurant many times and enjoyed the intimate surroundings, delicious unique foods and ambiance. The seafood dumplings are scrumptious and their specials are always something fun to try. Posted 12/26/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

Partially because the food is so fantastic and partially because the staff is so wonderful they make you feel at home. They serve terrific upscale variations of things you might cook at home. It the fried chicken is on the menu dont tell your cardiaologist, but go for it! Sometimes hard to get reservations, but a little secret is that you can almost always get a seat for one or two people and eat at the bar. The bonus will be a fun conversation with whoever is bartending that night. PROS: Great place if you live in Noe, worth the trip if your not CONS: sometimes a little noisy Posted 07/04/05 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

Located on the edge of Noe Valley, it's a the perfect quiet spot to bring a date or an intimate guest. They have a fantastic wine selection, and have great customer service! I had the fried chicken (I know, doesn't sound very upscale) and was very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant also has great ambiance, and there is a cool ice cream parlor just up the street for desert! Posted 06/23/05 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

Their fried chicken is to die for along with everything else. A nice blend of culinary cuisine and comfort. A must try. Pros: Food and service. Cons: Zip, zero, zilch. Posted 02/15/09 Brussel Sprouts By yxes2008 Like many people I never liked brussel sprouts, they were always so boring, and bitter to me. However, Firefly changed that in me. We ordered roasted brussel sprouts tossed in truffle oil, seasoned lightly! You must order them, they are amazing! The entire menu is delicious, and it is constantly changing. I would call and make a reservation, we had to take a 5:30, which is when they open because nothing else was available! This place is a must! Posted 02/07/08 I still think about it! By stellak It's been about 2-3 years since I've been at Fireflys. It's not because I didn't like the food; it's because I hope to try every restaurant in the City before I die. Here's the thing - I still think about the pork dish I had there. Scary, but it was THAT good. It was perfectly sweet, by-far the best pork I've ever had...EVER. My boyfriend got the steak and that was darn good too. We kept eating off of each other's plates. I highly recommend Firefly...and trust me on the pork. It really is that good. Pros: Delicious, memorable dishes! Posted 12/07/06 The absolute best presentation and taste of the creme brulee. By binky5806 I live in the Washington DC area presently but ate at the Firefly in 1996 when my daughter graduated from high school. I have never forgotten about that dessert Posted 10/21/06 Pleases even picky eaters... By alina555 We took the East Coast in-laws to this restaurant, and despite their picky palates (they did not care for Chez Panisse, for instance) they LOVED this place! Fried chicken was excellent - pork chop was the best the hubby ever had - beef brisket plate was completely licked clean. We'll definitely return! Posted 10/05/06
