We normally come here once a year to celebrate a birthday but was super disappointed with the experience we had this year and I’m not usually one to write bad reviews. I was looking forward to celebrating my birthday here with my friends. My husband made our reservation for 15-16 people 3 weeks in advance. They sent us an email saying that for large parties, they normally require meal selections ahead of time, but excused it for us and told us to just be patient with the staff (which we always are, we truly didn’t mind, we know the food is worth waiting for!). We had 4 extras try to join our reservation, but the staff said they couldn’t make that work so we did not let them come, no problem! By the time we got seated, the table only had 14 chairs. We kindly & patiently asked them for two more (as our reservation was for 15-16 people) and the manager or whoever she was, came over to our table and approached us in a terrible, extremely negative manner, telling us that our party size was unacceptable (even though we booked in advance and it was accepted). We tried to show her our email exchange with a staff member confirming the party of 15-16 people, in addition to the excusal of preselected meals but she didn’t care (we were still going to pay together on one main bill which was discussed in the email). About 3 minutes or so after this insane reaction, and before even ordering anything, she told us we were going to “annihilate the kitchen” and continued to be so angry with us. This was the worst interaction I’ve ever had from a restaurant employee and she ruined our celebratory birthday dinner that we were all looking forward to. After me and my friends were left speechless with how we were just treated, we left. It was unfortunate because I know this place can be hard to get into, so some servers definitely missed out on a few tables but we did not feel like staying where it was made clear we weren’t welcomed, and instead, were more of an inconvenience to them. If they had told us prior to this, that they couldn’t accommodate our party of 15-16 people, we would’ve understood, we know it’s a lot. But this woman waited until we were sat, to come over and be incredibly rude to us, without even greeting us or working something out (which we would’ve been open to!). Attaching a screenshot below for proof of our conversation. Extremely disappointed with how this was handled and bummed we had this experience that stayed with us for the end of the night.

We went here for a birthday celebration and the service was great. The food was delicious. This is a picture of the birthday dessert. It was a freshly cooked chocolate chip cookie sundae. The meal was grilled salmon on butternut squash and with brussels. It was delicious.

I drove 2.5 hours for a meal here on a whim, and it was most definitely worth it! I enjoyed a delicious brunch at a cozy table in the back. The server (Eliza) was incredibly kind and friendly. I'll be back to enjoy more tasty meals in the future.

No shortage of outstanding restaurants in Manchester but this place is packed almost every night, reservations are highly recommended. Service was charming and warm, and the food that we got was bold and flavorful. They warned me that the black pepper gnocchi was extremely "peppery", and they were right. Fortunately I love black pepper! We got to sit outside on a slightly chilly Friday night, which was fortunate because indoors was jamming and really loud.

So many creative cocktails! All were yummy (Milky Way & Caramel Apple specifically) Everything tasted great and had good presentations! As a vegetarian they had multiple options which I loved, and my mom really enjoyed her steak dinner (filet). **Also the butternut squash bisque was to die for!** More on the pricey side, especially if you’re getting drinks and entrees but it was worth the price. Good vibes overall!

We are traveling through to visit with our family and they made reservations to have dinner at this location. All I can say is WOW!! Amazing from promptness for our reservation time, to the professional server to the chef’s specials. We didn’t order any appetizers and went straight for the main course. Out of six of us , five had ordered this special. It was their Parmesan encrusted Haddock stuffed with lobster, side of asparagus and seasoned white rice! OMG!! Delicious ! We followed that with desserts. I followed it with there fall cocktail special. A caramel apple martini. Win Win! 😋

Each meal was perfectly prepared and served. If we lived in this area it would become our go to for drinks and dinner. They also have a unique selection of upscale cocktails and mocktails.

This was one of my best dining experiences. Despite not having a reservation on a busy Friday night, the host graciously offered us a table with a time limit of an hour and a half before the next reservation. Our server was exceptional and suggested getting creative with our orders. I swapped the shellfish in the Bourbon Street Fettuccine with chicken. The dish turned out to be phenomenal, and I’m so glad I took the server's advice. The restaurant’s willingness to accommodate special requests made the meal truly unforgettable.

Went here again just the other day to celebrate my Mother's Birthday. We had a nice time and the waiter was very helpful and patient when we needed help deciding. The menu has many great options that sound delicious and for the most part we enjoyed the food but it wasn't as great as we hoped for different reasons like being too salty or dry. It was a shame because they all sounded delicious on paper but we were a bit disappointed in the end.

Update: this is usually one of my fav restaurants in Manchester, had lunch on Saturday and was super disappointed. It was super quiet, only a few other tables in the whole place. I ordered a bacon dirty martini, just okay. Wouldn’t order it again. I also ordered the burger and the whole thing was super WET, including the bun and fries. Like the whole plate had been steamed or something. Greasy and wet, not good. Also some type of small hard pebble in the burger. 🥴 My date got the big breakfast—very underwhelming, looked like a typical diner breakfast. It was cold and the potatoes were also soggy. Super disappointed. Always good here! Most recently had the short rib risotto and it was great. Service was fine, nothing spectacular on a busy night.

In a pocket location, tucked away and secured. It uses margaritas as a buffer, nay, a shield in a cosmic sponge sort of way to avoid downtown Manchester saturation of the crazed and deranged that we are all too familiar with. Being thee pathfinder in downtown's culinary growth, they trail blazed a community that has grown to a beautiful neighborhood that the devil himself would salivate over. I sometimes wonder if we would have been left with over priced pizza and wings if not for them. Although an extremely precise allegory for our times in this country, all of us just being over priced pizza and wings, but I constantly lose sleep with that simple thought. "Am I an over priced chicken wing or am I an over priced slice of pizza". The city's drug problem started with MSG ridden fries but firefly brushed it's beautiful bangs to the side and said "yah know what Sununu we got this". With it's cape of stylistic decor and getting it's super powers from the culinary technique of its chef, that I still recognize and admire 14 years later from moving to this city, they have a team of super hero staff. Saving this city one whimsical mouth at a time, firefly wasnt the restaurant this city deserved but what this city needed. To all the staff: thank you for being the pioneers and role models you angelic vigilantes.

We often dine at Firefly and we enjoy the ambience of the place. The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. On the weekends it is best to reserve a table to avoid waiting. I have tried several dishes and they were all excellent. One of my favorites is Grilled Chicken Farfalle. They offer a wide variety of wine and cocktails. All of the servers have great personalities but our favorite is Danielle. I have recommended this place to all of my friends. Great for date night.

The entrance to the place is quirky (read the sign on the front door and look to the parking lot to your right to enter). We had a reservation and were seated right away. Moderate to loud bar area (a bit difficult to hear other guests at first). Go-go bread dipping sauce was very good! I had the boneless beef short rib entree, which was very good. Others at the table had Steak Frites and some Curry Shrimp dishes, which were enjoyable. Cheesecake and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie slices were also very good.

If the Braised short rib is ever taken off the menu , life will certainly be different ! That dish is so tender , the mix of risotto seals the balance , the added gravy takes it over the top . This place is always busy , without a reservation on the weekends and you probably won't get in , but go during the week or after busy time , food is the same . Been going there for well over 4 yrs and never once have I ever had a bad meal , including guests of the party . Firefly is a must in the Manch area for sure !

Visited the place with a special friend recently for the first time, and would highly recommend it. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. The brick interior adds warmth and character to the ambiance, which is ideal for a casual evening out or perhaps something a little more special. They have a good craft cocktail selection, and the Purple Haze I had hit the spot just right; a bit sweet but with a kick. The Crispy Brussel Sprout appetizer was delicious, and the Lobster and Grilled Corn Risotto along with the Pan seared Scallops were every bit as delectable and appetizing. A shout out to our server Katy, who made our evening very special, and was just a pleasure to have around. The Orange Pistachio Martini capped off a wonderful evening, and made for a very satisfying experience overall. This is a place where a re-visit is a given.

I went on a Saturday with a friend and found we were able to seated without a reservation at bout the last table available at 5:00 pm. We ordered the calamari as a starter which was nice and tender inside with a light batter coating. It was a very good start to our meal. We ordered the Boneless Beef Short Rib with root vegetables and the Bourbon Street Fettuccine as entrees. My short ribs were tender and flavorful with a nice gravy over the root vegetables. The risotto was decent but not very flavorful. It could have used more seasoning. A bit more of the root vegetables would have been nice as well. My friend said the Bourbon Street Fettuccine was good but only had one small piece of crawfish in the whole dish. The Andouille sausage was quite spicy even for somone used to spice. The overall sausage flavor of the dish slightly overpowered the rest of the seafood in the dish. Some people do prefer it that way though. For dessert we ordered the Pear and Apple Crisp with vanilla ice cream and a Creme Brulle. Both were excellent and a nice ending to our meal. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, especially on the rainy day we were there. The service was very good as well. We did not have to wait for anything and she did check up on us more than once during our meal which was great. Overall we would certainly go back to Firefly Bar & Bistro and would try different entrees but keep the same appetizer and desserts.

Spent $20 on a breakfast dish (2 eggs, 2 bacon, home fries and a pancake) just to only eat the pancake because the rest of the dish looked like it was prepared by Sodexo. Potatoes were burnt black and the eggs looked and tasted like they came out of a bag. On top of the horrible food, $10 for a mimosa which came a quarter-full in a dirty glass with lipstick on it. I hate to leave a poor review, but it’s frustrating to spend twice the amount of a diner for worse quality products.

Stopped in on a whim looking for a solid cocktail. The dirty chai martini was fantastic. Bartenders are fun and the homemade chips are bomb. Feels cozy with exposed brick and the layout of tables. Definitely coming back here for dinner.

Went here for brunch. The staff and the ambiance was great. The food wasn't necessarily bad. Its very upscale and isn't the normal new England breakfast.

With the help of some local friends two Christmas dinners from Hollathans were delivered to our aunt and uncle. I would love to share their response: “Best meal I have had in years” “The roast potatoes were gorgeous” “That gravy was the best we ever had” Thank you for your assistance in making the season brighter for them from thousands of miles away.
