Vine-draped patios, fireplace lounge & moody lighting define this Valley favorite
"The patio at Firefly, anchored by a fireplace in the center, feels like something straight out of France or Italy. Ivy claims the walls in the semi-covered space, which offers tables throughout the center or semi-private alcoves, closed off by rich red curtains. The menu is approachable, in a good way, with classics done well, like steak frites, branzino, and mushroom pappardelle." - Rebecca Roland
"For a Studio City date, Firefly is one of the best options. The expansive patio offers soft lighting and an often roaring fireplace to set the mood. Dinner is available a la carte, or as a prix fixe, plus there is a solid wine and dessert menu. Find options on the menu like hamachi crudo, steak frites, and mushroom pappardelle, which could be used for a Lady and the Tramp moment." - Rebecca Roland
"Firefly is by no means hidden, but stepping onto its sprawling back patio feels like you’ve found a secret European resort in the middle of Studio City. There are intimate cabanas along the sides, a two-story wall of ivy rising in the back, and a giant see-through fireplace in the center of everything. It’s one of the most romantic spaces in The Valley, if not the city, with a broad small plates menu that is a safe bet for any kind of romantic night out. We like the bigeye tuna tartare, mussels in a curry broth, and fried olives." - brant cox
"The epitome of warm and cozy, Firefly’s vibes are on point with dim candlelit lighting, vine-covered walls, cabana-like dining tables, and a roaring fireplace centered in the space. The Studio City restaurant is ideal for romantic dates and charcuterie boards, crudos, and bone-in pork chops, and an impressive after-dinner menu with desserts, Amari, and ports." - Eater Staff
"Firefly is by no means a secret, but stepping into its massive back patio feels like you found a hidden European resort in the middle of Studio City. There are intimate cabanas along the sides, a two-story wall of ivy rising in the back, and a giant see-through fireplace smack in the center of everything. It’s one of the most romantic spaces in The Valley, and its wide-ranging American menu is a solid bet for any kind of date night. We like the bigeye tuna tartare, mussels in a curry broth, and fried Manzanilla olives." - brant cox
