We serve food that more often than not accesses the part of our deepest soul where genuine expression flows forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We’re a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your dorky host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.
Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. We’re not big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that’s still accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you think

What a great dining experience. Friends had heard about this restaurant but not yet visited — and gosh, are we happy they let us join them! The menu is mostly gluten free — and where it is not, alternatives were available. The flavors were well paired — the artichoke and green olive salad is a great way to start a meal. The wine list offers a great variety at most price points. From a truly gluten free perspective, the max and cheese was good — would have like a little more flavor, but that’s probably personal preference. The friend chicken was next level — perfect mix of crispy and moist — and not too greasy. The brownie sundae featured salted caramel drizzle and crispy corn flakes — it was great way to end the meal. All in all, this was a delicious meal and we highly recommend the visit.

Came here last Friday with outdoor seating reservation. Servers were friendly. We are both vegan, ordered 3 apertizers and 2 entrees. Love the tostones and daikon cakes. Will skip the entrees next time. Gumbo was definitely better than the Enchiladas. Our server, Samie was checking on us and when she noticed we were not into the entree especially the Enchiladas, she comped that entree. What a surprise, appreciate her gesture (we gave a 30% tip pre-discount subtotal)! We will return for sure, but just for the Vegan apertizers.

Don’t ask for counter because there’s one two seater where you’re literally facing a wall.

Solid food. We discovered this place when looking for gluten free friendly restaurant options in the city. This place popped up time and time again. The entire menu minus one thing was gluten free. The food did not disappoint. There was a great selection of menu items (food and drinks, both alcoholic and non). Great atmosphere. Would recommend a reservation. We will absolutely visit again.

I wanted to like this place. I really did. The starter beet salad was very good. As was the bread and yummy dip. Service is incredible… Very friendly and attentive. But the main courses were underwhelming. The potato dish was wildly under seasoned. I don’t think there was any salt on kugel or in the sauce. The mushrooms were also under seasoned. The enchiladas were better but again, not seasoned well. The toffee date cake was tasty but a bit dry. I know it’s possible to make vegan food better than this. Maybe an off night. And maybe the meat dishes are better.

My gluten free and dairy free friend said it was some of the best food he’s had in a very long time.

Ventured into a new neighborhood that I haven’t been too lately…Noe Valley! Made a reservation for a date out with the wife. We were fortunate to get a reservation about the time that they opened. The service was great. The food was well portioned and reasonable. The menu items were unique and delicious. The only draw back is that they don’t have typical soft drinks like Coke, etc. I guess the menu was unique enough that I should’ve expected that. All good. Will be back in the future!

We really enjoy firefly. My wife is strict vegan, and they have many dishes which either are or can be made vegan. I am not vegan. We always get the seed loaf, really enjoy the rustic flavors. I enjoy the Pao de Queijo, and the onion jam that comes with it is my favorite. The Mexican street corn is mild and delightful.

Everything was amazing! The cheese bread is a must! Known for the fried chicken. Homey and cozy spot!
