Firefly

Firefly Restaurant Review

Firefly is a popular dining spot among young couples and singles in Washington, D.C. The bar and dining areas are anchored by a large tree trunk decorated with lanterns and a charming rope swing. After the departure of former chef Daniel Bortnick, current chef Matthew Hagan brings the menu back to the South from the earlier New York-style fare. Southern and Tex-Mex selections whet the appetite....

At this Dupont Circle "hideaway", chef Daniel Bortnick's New American "funked-up comfort food" is displayed in an "engaging" setting that's both "romantic" and "kid-friendly" as it's built around an "enormous indoor tree" (a recent renovation added a tree swing, cottagelike details and more bar seats, possibly outdating the Decor rating); the staff is "great", and if the bill is big, at least...

The backlighted, amber bar and birch-log wall create a warm and natural look at this showcase for contemporary American bistro food. Start with baby beets and goat cheese or blue cheese-stuffed dates from the clever "urban picnic" menu of small plates. More-standard comfort food includes grilled pork tenderloin with rutabaga puree, and roast chicken with collard greens and Italian sausage. The...

This is a small but popular restaurant, which can make you feel a bit squeezed in. The floor-to-ceiling "firefly tree" hung with lanterns heightens this feeling. But the food is quite good. We enjoyed the roasted chicken with oyster mushrooms, bacon, and frites (house fries), and the grilled New York steak with the same fries, watercress, and Smithfield ham. If those fries don't come with your...

All of the food here is very average and not worth wasting your Saturday/Sunday brunch time on. There's nothing really unique/special about the dishes compared to all the options in DC. The staff ...

Firefly, the quintessential urban neighborhood restaurant, is a down-to-earth spot, where the casual vibe is heightened by the mouth watering cuisine of Executive Chef and General Manager Daniel Bortnick. Located in the bustling Dupont Circle neighborhood, our menus feature American comfort food reborn as contemporary takes on classics. Discerning regulars at Firefly would insist you try some...

Polished wooden floors, stone walls, a glass bar and the decorated 'firefly tree' in the center of the dining area are the elements that create a warm ambience at the Firefly Restaurant. The cuisine is American and chef John Wabeck strives to give you the best deals. Roasted chicken with sweet corn gratin, shiitake mushroom sauce and spinach and steak frites with shallot butter and red wine...
