Firefly* on Paradise, Tapas Kitchen and Bar

03/17/2008 Posted by lublu

We went to Firefly with a party of 6 and had a blast. It's fun to order a lot of tapas and share. They have a large selection to choose from and almost everything is really good. Order with a pitcher of tasty sangria. It is always very crowded and a little tight inside but lots of fun.

My husband and I always do happy hour here at least once when we are in Vegas. We stuff ourselves with food and drink and then crawl next door to Dragonfly for some sushi. Gluttony at its finest!

Pros: Mojitos, sangria, and tapas...also amazing service!

Cons: Can be crowded on weekend nights

Firefly is a cool place, but much more for the trendy crowd than for the foodies, like me. It was really loud and crowded. The menu did not have anything very adventurous, in fact quite the opposite. The "french fries" tapas were ok. So was the manchego mac and cheese. The grouper was very dry and plain. The salad was acceptable, but the empanadas seemed small for tapas. The albondigas were boring meatballs with no real flavor. The best thing was the paella, and I've had much better. If you are looking for great tapas, this just isn't the place.

Pros: Trendy, if you like that...

Cons: pretty weak food

The line to get into the restaurant was long so I knew the food would be really good. It did not disappoint. The portions were small so for 2 of us, we got about 6 dishes. The stuffed peppers and the shrimp diavlo were to die for. The waiters were very prompt and making sure we were always taken care of. The food was tasty and the sangria was really good, not too powerful. Good to go with a group as well, very lively inside. And after dinner, you can always go to the bar next door to dance it all off.

Pros: Yummy food

Firefly is a wonderful locale for after hours and a good meal. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the food is spectacular. As a local, I would highly recommend it. Viva Firefly.

Pros: Service, food and ambiance

Cons: May get too loud

Checked out Firefly on a Wednesday night at around 9pm. The place was buzzing but the wait wasn't long. (10 minutes). My date and I were really impressed with the place. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Together, we ate about 6 plates of tapas and split an order of paella and flan for about 58 dollars. The two glasses of sangria brought our total bill to 70 dollars excluding tip. It was a pretty fair value and the food was pretty tasty and best described as "fusion/modern" rather than authentic. Definitely check out the tuna tartare. The joint can get loud and the atmosphere is a bit geared to the 20s "seen and be seen" crowd, but there are plenty of more distinguished folks here to check out the drinks and food. The parking lot is small, so take a cab to the restaurant. Don't worry, there are always a few cabs stationed in the area to pick up patrons after their meal.

Pros: Fast Service, Tasty dishes, Good Value (for what it is)

Cons: Parking, Atmosphere Not for Everyone

First of all, I"m not a three meal a day person. Tapas are the best way of dining for me. I can try several things without having a large entree preventing me from trying other items. Mojitos are available by the pitcher - just recommend a little more rum. Highly recommend the stuffed dates, seared ahi (practically an entree by itself), duck roll, would recommend the ahi tartare be sliced as opposed to the cubes but still good. Tried other items - too numerous to list as we had dinner the first night and went back for lunch the next day. Great service, not there during any rush hour but did fill quickly right after we arrived both times. Will always make it a stop when in Vegas. Three people almost drunk and full for $60.

Pros: great food

Cons: outdoor dining on a strip mall parking lot

My husband and I went there last for a much needed date. It did take some time to get a table because it was packed. Make a reservation. The menu is as whimsical as it should be. My husband had never heard of Tapas but I knew he would surely find things to spark his interest. He did! We had fun. Some items are better than others, but I recommend the Baked Brie, Duck Egg Rolls, Eggplant Cannelloni, Bacon Wrapped Dates, and the Bread Pudding for dessert. I am not sure why but the espresso was really great! We are not drinkers like the rest of crowd at Firefly. They sure were sucking down the sangria...looked good!!! Go here! It is really a fun time. Once you do get seated, your tapas come quickly.

Pros: Food,service, fun

Cons: not really a place to "hang-out"

I am a big Tapas fan and Firefly is definitely one of the best Tapas places that I've been to and I've been to a lot in New York City. We went on a Monday night by foot after the show "Le Reve" at Wynn hotel and it's totally worth the 20 minutes walk. We had a picther of Mojito, which is awesome; Tuna Tartare is my favor out of the dinner menu; Steak and Mushroom Skewer is just perfectly marinated and nicely cooked; Chorizo Clams is very well balanced and I almost wanted to drink up all the juice with my straw. We also had Caramel Flan and Chocolate & Cherry Bread Pudding for dessert and they were simply tasty. And the best part, with everything, tip and tax, it came down to less than $90 for the two of us. I would definitely go back next time I go to Vegas.

Pros: Good Food, Good Price; Good Drink

Cons: Table is too small to hold all the plates.
