Spanish tapas, cocktails, live music, and patio seating

























"I’ve noticed Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Baron Paradise Road has packed up and moved to 335 Hughes Center Drive in the former McCormick & Schmick’s location in the Howard Hughes Center, and it’s back serving its full pre-Covid menu with daily lunch and brunch. The tapas-style lineup features dishes like spicy beef salad, shrimp tempura, fish sticks, and chocolate cherry bread pudding, and the restaurant is introducing new items such as a golden beet carpaccio salad, braised bravas chicken, and parchment-baked cod." - Janna Karel

"This tapas bar is set to reopen on Monday, May 17 at 11 a.m. after a temporary November closure by owners John and Tabitha Simmon due to statewide occupancy restrictions. The reopening follows earlier returns of the owners' other locations, and the venue plans to operate daily with weekend brunch service on Saturdays and Sundays." - Susan Stapleton

"Temporarily closed “until sometime next year,” with owners saying they need to “hunker down and preserve our resources in order to weather this storm and live to fight another day”; the decision was driven by the state’s reduced 25 percent capacity limits and the broader surge in coronavirus cases." - Susan Stapleton

"Now open for takeout and delivery daily from noon to 8 p.m., Firefly Tapas Kitchen + Bar in the southwest is offering a la carte tapas including stuffed dates and patatas bravas, paella, and family meals via its new online menu; the restaurant also sells sangria and mojitos to go, bottles of wine, and desserts such as churros and flan. The restaurant reopened on May 1." - Susan Stapleton

"For after work drinks, Firefly is one of my favorites. Those bacon-wrapped dates are classic." - Susan Stapleton
