Firefly* Tapas Kitchen & Bar

All the food we tried was very good. Service was even better. Arrived early for reservation. They seated us early. Food was delivered swiftly. Wait staff checked on us frequently and refilled soft drinks promptly. Only issue was it was too loud. We were glad to be seated away from the center and would have preferred to eat outdoors.

All the food was amazing. I especially loved the meatballs and bacon wrapped dates. Our server was super helpful and nice. Overall service was fast and we never had to wait on our orders, which is rare these days. Two tapas per person was enough for us.. But some may need more.

I really would have loved to give 5 stars. Food was delicious, we had Tapas then a mixed paella, great red whine sangria too. Waiters were friendly, professional and quick. It's just because of them that I don't rate it 3 stars just for the food. Indeed the two ladies at the entrance of the restaurant who would register you for seating are an absolutely disaster for a business like this. No good evening and welcome, no or forced smiles, no communication when they lead you to your table. Robots. Sad and depressed robots. I observed the shortest of the two doing the same with other customers the whole time of my dinner. When getting out of the restaurant I was slow at the door passing in front of her : of course, like if I was a ghost, no goodbye no nothing. I'm the manager of a company and I hope this message would be read by the manager of the restaurant : those two are the first people with whom your customers will have to deal with, we never have the opportunity to make twice a first good impression so my advice is : urgently FIRE them and let them FLY out elsewhere, far away from your fine restaurant.

Honestly was fantastic. Came to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday and it was amazing! Service, decor, drinks and food all brilliant. Especially the lamb chops. Best thing we’ve eaten in Vegas will come back again!

The driver on the way suggested the bacon wrapped dates and they were incredible! We always try the calamari and here did not disappoint either. Our original party was a no show but Paul was kind enough to hook it up! Will recommend and will be back for those dates! Thank you for making an impromptu date special!

This place was surprising. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in it's quite nice. You need a reservation, or you can self-sit at the bar. Stopped in around 4:30pm for a small bit to hold over until dinner. The flavor was amazing. Despite not being busy, the first plate came out quick (~8 minutes), but the second plate came out 20 minutes after the first plate. Price: Reasonable, 2 small plates was $25 which is a good snack for 2 people. Menu: Good variety, gluten free was marked on the menu. Parking: Easy, it's in the back and free.

Great food. Lots of gluten-free options. Great for mixed party guests of gf and non gf. Great service. Large patio. The Patio area has Cafe lights, fans, heaters and shade screens for all different weather conditions. Tile mosaics inside with fun decor. Lots of parking and it's well lit behind the building.

I've had different tapas before but none like this. We went family style on it and just picked a little of everything. Nothing was a disappointment. The specialty cocktails were well done, the plates were full of flavor and came out of the kitchen like artwork. Highly recommend coming here!

Craving Tapas-size plates following recent Euro travel to Portugal and Spain, so Firefly was tonight's fare. Always a worthy bartender/barback team to provide top of the line service! I caved for my regular spicy Camarones a La Diabla and added a new fav of Camarones al Ajillo. Food mixed w a decent Tempranillo . I def leverage the corp food budget on my almost monthly visits to LV. Happy to have had a service industry recommendation for Firefly! Advice. The best food options are off-strip. This is where the locals and service staff eat.

Love this place ! We go when we visit Vegas every time. Always great staff in both bar and restaurant. nice space and good atmosphere They bring you bread with compound butter to start, for free :) ( any good tapas bar brings something free to start, it's how they do it in Spain ) the butter is red but sweet, and I always greedily ask for more lol. We get Manchego Mac and cheese, excellent sharing portion and more filling (Some things aren't stick to your ribs, so this helps if you want to feel more like you ate a meal) If you get there when they open it is happy hour. On HH menu we still get the stuffed dates but you don't need fries, I prefer the bread/butter or mac and cheese for that trick And the other options on HH menu are meh. Buy something off menu instead fries lol. For a little bit more than the happy hour price you can get something amazing. Mussels were great, the two burger sliders and shrimp diablo is a new fav of hubby.

Located off the strip this is always a perfect dinner before a night out! This is a tapas style restaurant that offers small dishes that are meant to be shared with the table This is their new and renovated location! It can get busy here in weekends so a reservation is recommend (: Cocktails are always delicious here my favorite is the strawberry mojito they even offer $33 sangria pitchers. As far as the menu I have tired multiple things my personal recommendations are : The chicken empanadas, lamb chops, stuffed dates, and seafood paella. Love this place! Their is a variety to choose from (:

As soon as you walk in, you see bright and trendy, then some moody decor, and a separate quirky bright pink room. Theres a room for whatever style that suits you but I thought it was executed tastefully. The servers were friendly, quick, and attentive. The coffee was different, in a delicious way. The food was good but that bacon wrapped date was innovative and yummy. My husband ordered a second dish for himself. We're not locals but I would definitely revisit if I am back to Vegas, the menu looks exciting and the reviews reflects it.

I can't say enough good things about Firefly! The place was amazing. It was bright and airy with such cute decor. From the moment we walked in for lunch to e service was amazing. The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service. The drinks were so good and the food was delicious. I would come back everyday if I could.

Kind of a last minute fine. Awesome service and they got our food out pretty fast. The food was good and the coffee was awesome as well. The place has beautiful decor and had a great vibe.

We have the best time here celebrating my birthday. The service was 5 star.The food was delicious the The restaurant is very trendy and beautiful. So It was much fun to go with 1 person or a big group we were a party of 2. The place is romantic.Great background for photos highly.Recommend you stop by here.The staff will make it special

Came here for a birthday during happy hour. It is designed nice and the restrooms are clean. The servers were nice and attentive. The food was expensive! I don't remember it being this expensive at all. I thought happy hour was going to be a bit more affordable. The food was not bad, I did get full. The dates were good and also the filled peppers were so good. The ribs were soft . The bread was really hard to eat. I would come back but not anytime soon.

What a fantastic place! It over exceeded my expectations. Tapas style place is the way to go. Especially as a foodie, you definitely get to try more food and even more if you bring some friends along. I had a few dishes here and although all of them were good, the ones that stood out for me were these two: 1. Apple & Manchengo cheese salad 2. Some seasonal meat sandwiches (forgot the name sowwy) Now for the other dishes: Camarones a la diabla: too sweet for my liking Baked goat cheese: exactly what it sounds like, comes with a marinara sauce and some bread. Seems a little lazy to me. Sauce needs to be replaced with a different sauce that can elevate the dish and make the goat cheese the star as originally intended. Mushroom and meat skewers: they were good but not memorable. The white sauce is a little bit unnecessary. But they were very well seasoned and the meat was tender. Stuffed Dates: Meh, I've had better ones stuffed with goat cheese. The bacon on these seemed a little more overcooked. Apparently they offer brunch on the weekends and they have a Happy Hour Menu so I'll definitely be back! This is a perfect spot to grab a small bite and a drink. Customer service was exceptional and there's also plenty of parking.

Finally got to give this place a second chance. Same rating. Well, at least they are consistent... Quality/Quantity - We just made Happy hour. :) Complimentary Bread - This was okay. Not as good as our first visit. HH Fried Calamari - Good, fried fresh. HH Tortilla A La Espanola - Ordered this last second, and regretted it. Can not recommend. Kind of like a slice of potato pie. HH Stuffed Peppers - Highlight of the HH menu, the best of the dishes. Mixed Paellas - Serves 2-4 people, and yes, that is accurate. Took a while, 40 minutes as it was made to order, so order right away if you can. Generous portions, we were only able to eat half. As you can see from the picture, we picked all the toppings off and left the rice. Felt guilty for wasting so much food. And we got a few glasses of Atomic Duck IPA. After our meal, we both agreed that we should have done the restaurant week menu, hopefully next year. Atmosphere - Cool decor, see pictures. Good size, inside/outside seating. Indoor, bar, table, booth, private seating. Outdoor lounge seating. Semi open kitchen. Free wifi - Did not work today. Plenty of parking, this is LV, most people take rideshare. Happy hour is also available, we just made it. Service - Just like the last visit, no attention to detail. Had to flag the team down for service. And I believe one of them was in management. And today was NOT even busy, at least our last trip was crazy busy prime dinner time. Price - $83 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2003 and your success at this location since 2013. Lastly, congrats on your two locations.

This place was awesome. Easy for my husband and I to order a few tapas to share and a bit larger ones for ourselves. The drinks were amazing. Really fast service and the food was great. Love the look of the space and the cosy furniture. Worth a short drive for this place!

We had a lot of fun here. The food was great except the miso cod. I don't know if it was an off night but I wouldn't recommend it. I sent it back and I ordered 2 other amazing items. I loved the crab cakes, artichoke toasts, gazpacho and the red sangria.

What a hidden gem! The group I was with didn't make a reservation for mother day. We had a show to see near the area. After the show we went here. The food is delicious. Little tiny tapas for a reasonable price. We aren't bigger eaters but we like to try a variety of things. The food came out sporadically which was nice. I order a steak on top of a purée sauce, meatballs, chicken empanadas, shrimp on swekers, my mother in law got tomatoes soup with grill cheese, some got chicken swekers, these dates with bacon wrap. For dessert it was a cherry bread pudding, delicious. Our server was awesome and the place was super clean. The buser were on top making sure we had water, cleared our plate's.

We went for a brunch outside Vegas strip and found this place. We weren't disappointed. The place was chic, clean , airy and decor modern. Love the color palette in each dining rooms. The service was great. Seated right away and our servers were attentive. Kudos to them. The dishes we ordered were delicious . The tapas were good. The scallops with olive oil Parmesan cheese and pesto sauce was mouthwatering. Pulpo grilled was cooked well. Not rubbery . Bread with house butter was crispy and freshly baked. Burrito firefly special was so tasty. Golden Beet salad was refreshing. Overall great menu with quality ingredients and presentation.

Food was great, I would say around 5-6 dishes will fill up 2 people. They give you free bread with delicious butter as well. Service was ok, I understand they are busy but I felt like they were trying to rush us out the whole time

The food here was incredible! Even my 8 year are here and now requires truffle on his fries! We absolutely loved our service and the attention we received when talking to the staff. They were quick and friendly! The restaurant has a very comfortable feel and you feel right at home. You can spend a lot of time eating here!

We walked into this tapas joint with an open mind and no expectations, and what I found was a slice of Spain right here at home. The food was an authentic love letter to Spanish tradition--each bite bursting with the rich, soulful flavors of the Mediterranean. The ambiance? A vibrant kaleidoscope of color and energy, like a fiesta in full swing. It felt like stepping into a lively corner of Barcelona or Seville. And the service? Impeccable, with just the right mix of attentiveness and charm that made the whole experience feel effortlessly special. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a journey to Spain without the airfare.

Love Firefly! We were celebrating a new job I received, and this was the perfect spot for my husband and I! If you are someone who likes variety in food, or you're looking for a place to enjoy some drinks and maybe a small bite to eat with a nice happy hour without going anywhere too hectic, check out Firefly. Seems like the place takes in a lot of couples, business meetings, or after-work drinks and I can see why: the place is gorgeous inside, the service is quick, and the price is right for tapas. We were quickly seated, quickly served, and when we asked for things the team taking care of us was quick to respond. There is a lot of space at this restaurant and it looks like they have multiple spaces to host events. The night we came in they were setting up an outside event which I feel like would be a lot of fun. In terms of food, my favorites were the Ham and Cheese Croquetas, the Serrano Sliders, Stuffed Dates, and Ceviche of Shrimp. Happy Hour is 4-6pm Monday-Friday. Seriously, it's the best place in this particular area for happy hour in my opinion.

So delicious and a good happy hour. $75 for two drinks and six plates. They also take allergies seriously which is very nice. The croquettes are a MUST. I also recommend sitting at the bar for fast service, we were in an out in under an hour.

Food is fantastic with a large variety of Tapas choices. There is something for everyone. Service was courteous and attentive. It's our second time eating here and we will be back.

We tried to go to another place in this area and they had a much longer wait so we popped by here to see what could happen. The aesthetic is beautiful from the entrance, seating areas and bathrooms. We would come back likely just to enjoy the ambiance. We ordered 5 tapas in total - tuna tartare, fish sticks, fries, crab cakes & chicken tinga empanadas. Some items didn't have the most flavor but would highly recommend the fish sticks and chicken tinga empanadas

The new firefly is kind of a shit show. It used to have really cool food, a great atmosphere and a really good happy hour. Now it's expensive, the atmosphere is awful in the old McCormick and Schmidt building. It's ridiculously loud in the dining room. Really sucks that this place is now worse than when the Henderson location was making fools sick allegedly

I was looking for a restaurant with light dishes or so as I had to take a friend to the airport for a late night flight. Tapas sound perfect!! I made a reservation online. We got there 15 minutes prior to the reservation and while waiting at the bar we decided to stay at the bar. I should start by saying that the restaurant is gorgeous. They used to be at paradise rd, I didn't know they moved. Well they did and upgraded the place. Ok back to the bar. Initially we were ignored? Not greeted not asked for our order. Bartender and maybe assistant walk back and forward until we have to say .. "excuse me". The bar experience did not start good with bar staff, but at the end we had fun and tapas were delicious. Was the bartender experience? Were the staff rushed on something else? Was the assistant on training because we asked her for something and it like she will finish what she was doing before even asking again what we need. I think definitely she was learning. Ok tapas will fill you up lol don't go crazy because small plates. We order Sangria (did not like the way they added fresh fruits), tuna tártara, bacon wrapped dates, pulpo asado, bbq ribs, fries. Everything was delicious, bartender recommended the filet mignon instead of the ribs ... he was right, ribs were just ok, nothing different. The pulpo asado was great, grilled not chewy. Date's delicious. I'll definitely go back. I love the place, great outdoor, and bar is always fun for party of two I'll say. We ended up talking to few people at the bar. They were in town for same convention my friend attended as well. I like chatting with tourists. They were all very nice and we all enjoyed the conversation. I am giving the 4 stars because greeting can be done as you multitask. Bartenders or any bar staff should be able to say hi and acknowledge anyone sitting there. We are all facing them!!

Freaking amazing!!!!!!! You have to get the steak n mushroom kabob! Wow!!! The butter is legit to die for lol

This Tapas place is off the strip but the vibe is comparable...minus the traffic. We were able to get seated right away outside, even though it was cold they had heaters and fire pits lit. If you want to have a drink and some small bites, this is the place for you. The Manchego Mac n cheese is delicious, Stuffed Dates and the Filet were all top tier choices. The sparkling sangria was sweet, but strong. Be mindful when you have the Sangria, they sneak up on you! The only complaint I have was that our server checked on us twice. We were there for about 2 hours and when we wanted to order more tapas, we couldn't find him. No water refills and our drinks took forever to get to us. However, it was a busy night, everything else was great! I'll be back!

This is my first time visiting this location. I was pleasantly surprised! I loved the modern kick the restaurant has adopted to its decor, without compromising the quality of the food. I did order some of my usual favorites: stuffed dates, mixed paella, white sangria, and ceviche. All tasted as amazing as they have for years! I ventured out a little by trying the tomato bread with cheese - yummy! I recommend you eat them quick, because they can get soggy. I also tried the passionfruit cheesecakes that were to DIE for. They weren't too sweet, and they were bite sized. We also ordered some churros for the table. Want to indulge a little? Order the churros AND the passionfruit cheesecake bites! The service was failing a little at the Southwest location, but I think the remodeling really helped the franchise in leveling up its service. This will be my go-to location from now on.

Food is amazing! Scallops, goat cheese is not disappoint. Service is terrific. Highly recommended

Came here for dinner with friends on a Wednesday night. It was packed and I am not sure if it was Restaurant week or they were just busy. We had reservations for 7:30pm we were seated promptly upon arrival. Took a while before a server came - when he came we were already ready to order drinks, tapas and paella - it was that long. We ordered from the regular menu (not the Restaurant week menu). Tapas were served at a reasonable time. Steak & mushroom skewer = steak was not that tender - we all agreed it was a bit tough. Empanadas were amazing ! Pulpo Asado (grilled octopus) was good but a little too spicy for me. Mixed paella = delicious, slightly on the wet side, didn't skimp on toppings. We tried the Chocolate Tres Leches for dessert - we liked it. It wasn't too sweet. Service was ok - no issue and not outstanding either. Good lighting, modern decor and nice layout. When packed, it can get really loud and it is difficult to have conversation without raising your voice and almost shouting. Fortunately, midway through our meal, people started leaving and it became better. Price is reasonable. Lots of parking. I would give this place 3.5 stars, but not possible, so rounding off to 4. Will definitely return here.

New great location. Beautiful interior. As always, GREAT FOOD! I ordered the Manchego Mac N' Cheese and the Tierra y Mar skewers, and of course white sangria. All were wonderful! I like this new location but kind of miss the old one as the vibe in there was unique, fun and sexy. Glad the food is still awesome though!

Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar, they got these Bacon Wrapped Dates that'll have you saying, 'Alright, where have you been all my life?' It's like a sweet and savory dance party in your mouth, with each bite perfectly balanced! Pair them with their sangria, and you've got a winning combo. Firefly's small plates pack big flavors--you won't be disappointed.

Sometimes you luck out a find a restaurant that actually deserves 5 Stars. Firefly is one of them!! Arriving here we were greeted right away by the hostess. I explained I had made a reservation for inside but wanted to know if they could accommodate outside instead. She said yes but it would be a few minutes if we didn't mind waiting. No problem! Once we were seated we were almost immediately greeted by our waiter who was very friendly. He brought waters and got our drink order. We placed an order of Tapas and paella which he explained is cooked to order and takes 40 minutes. Again, no problem. We were not in a rush and it gave us time to enjoy our Tapas first. The food here is fantastic! Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh and came out hot! Nothing was a disappointment. Their complementary bread and butter is delicious! The Gazpacho was one of my favorites! The paella is wonderful! The atmosphere both inside and outside was relaxed and you dined at your pace. There was no rush or hurry to do anything. The waiters did not hurry you at all. This is definitely a new favorite in Vegas!! Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Sangria 5/5

Food: My wife and I had our first date at their original location. They have relocated 3 times now. The current location feels very commercial and does not have the same hole in the wall feel as the original. I get it, get bigger, expand. Service was still great and most of the core menu items are still true to the original menu. The food is not the same,not bad just different. Service: is still top notch, never had a bad experience here and we have been here 10+ times. We even turned our kids on to it. Ambiance: definitely preferred the original location.

Food is good atmosphere is awesome. Love the vibe there. Nice place to take a special person.

Food amazing! Service timely & friendly! Ambiance love it! Highly recommended..... lots of parking & no fee and vety safe....

I stopped by for lunch, and I was surprised at how big this restaurant was. My party and I were sat quickly. Since this was a business lunch, I didn't want to order alcohol but on my next visit, I'll be sure to. We ordered a handful of tapas and shared them. I loved the beef skewers, empanadas, and bacon dates. Those were my favorites. Service was good, and I will definitely be back.

I came here with friends and we all ordered our favs. Everything was incredible. My top choices were the stuffed dates, they are cozy and give you a Thanksgiving kind of feel but much more elevated. The escargot scallops are always a win, garlic butter with bread is a plus! I absolutely LOVED the Shrimp Ceviche, would come back just to enjoy this again. The espresso martini had a punch and a sweet aroma from the orange peel, very rich in flavor. Although everything was amazing, our server seemed slightly bothered in the beginning while we waited on one more but it lingered into the rest of the experience. We still took care of him and wanted to show kindness. We did have to move at one point because the large birthday group next to us were really loud, after we moved it was a really wonderful time, such a great place to have a girl's night.

Perfect vibe and energy- just right to mix music and decor to feel casually upscale allowing for some relaxed tapas grazing. The service was quick, consistent and steady without feeling obtrusive.... Never had to want for a thing as everything was attended to before I ever needed to ask! The food was simply perfect! Gazpacho was bright and fresh, the Pulpo was fresh smokey, tender and had hints of heat, while the Golden Beat Salad was dressed perfectly for the delicate carpaccio of beet. FireFly was Fabulous surprise! Highly recommend.

This place is a joke. The restaurant is half full and "coincidentally" the wait time is the end of their happy hour. Ordering a drink at the bar is not an option. Not the first time this has happened

Nice place with good food. The place really looks very nice, clean and organized. I visited for the first time and really liked it. The food tastes good, but compared to the portions and flavors, some of the dishes could've had better pricing. Our server was good, and he really worked so hard. He also took care of other tables at the same time. The reception at the front could've been better. I did not notice her name, but I was ignored by her a couple of times... Overall, it was a good experience. Maybe I should also try the other location which is closer to my place .

Yesterday was out fourth time at the Firefly. It was the worst experience we have ever had in a restaurant. a) Water had an attitude. b) Place was extremely loud with people and music. c) Tables are small, waters could not fit plates on the table, so they would hand us the plate and leave. This is our last time. Good Bye and Good Luck.

First time trying out the new location in Howard hugh center. Inside was so pretty. Also had lots of tables and seats. We had stuffed dates, baked goat cheese, octopus, meatball, shrimp ceviche and vanilla ice cream. Food was delicious as always. Only one ask is I wish they bring back the nutella banana sandwich!!! Took my friend from NY and she loved it as well. Always highly recommend! B

Great Tapas restaurants just a few minutes away from the strip. The interior is gorgeous. Shows us to sit outside and enjoy their patio and the beautiful weather outside. The service is superb and the food is delicious.

At Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar you can expect beautiful decor inside, fun ambience, and great service! I ordered the ceviche of shrimp, pulpo asado, and baked cod. My favorite was the pulpo asado but all 3 dishes tasted amazing. The ceviche had a nice citrus bite and tang with fresh, plump shrimp on crispy chips. Pulpo asado was smoky and whatever sauce they had on the side paired really well. The baked cod was good but the accompaniment underneath was a bit spicy for us. I went with a large group and the overall sentiment was that every dish and drink we ordered was delicious. If you have time to wait the 45 minutes for the seafood paella, I would say it's worth it!

This new location does not meet the standards of the old space. Ambiance is horrible, food was inedible. I will NOT give it another chance after years of being happy with this restaurant

Was looking for a place to grab a bite and hang out with an out-of-town girlfriend and chose this location (versus the Buffalo location) this time. Beautiful restaurant, great service and excellent food. Aside from the standard items we've had before, also ordered the grilled octopus and it was one of the best octopus dishes ever. Perfectly grilled/charred and seasoned and oh so tender. The other surprise was the shrimp tempura. H-u-g-e shrimp - the biggest tempura shrimp ice ever had! Accompanied by some tasty veggie tempura pieces as well. Had a couple of their "Fly-tai" (their version of a mai tai) because they were that good. Girlfriend also enjoyed her strawberry mojitos. Didn't realize we were there for almost 3 hours but the servers never rushed us nor hinted us to get the puck out. No pics as we started eating as soon as the dishes hit the table (we were hungry).

10/10. Food always hits. Everything is super flavorful and presented in an aesthetically pleasing way. Roomy restaurant and the servers are always pleasant. I think we've been 4 times and we'll keep going back. Great spot and super close to the strip - quick uber or Lyft ride if you are visiting and don't have a vehicle.

Came to visit the new Firefly location on a Monday night around 8pm and the ambience was chill. Looked like we just missed the rush. The food and service was good. My favorite was the Camarones al Ajillo.

Pretty tasty food with a large variety. We got there on a Saturday around 7 and didn't need to wait for a table of 2. The place is huge and has a very light and airy kind of vibe. As others have mentioned it does get a little loud though. We got the sangria and the porto g&t for drinks. The sangria is delicious! Not too sweet. I also liked that they cut the fruit into tiny pieces so you can drink it with your straw. The g&t is pretty sweet, which they did warn us, and my partner said it got to be a little too much by the end. For food we got the shrimp ceviche, brussel sprouts, tortilla la espanola and the pulpo asado. Our favorite was the ceviche and the tortilla. The brussel sprouts were WAY too salty. It overwhelmed all the other flavors. We've had more tender pulpo. It was a little too chewy so less enjoyable. But they did have a good char.

In the heart of Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar, a culinary delight awaited me - the Lamb Chops. Picture this: a symphony of flavors unfolding with each tender bite, the succulent meat whispering tales of Mediterranean herbs and spices. As I savored each bite, the perfectly charred exterior gave way to juicy, flavorful lamb, complemented by a medley of fresh sides. It's a dish that takes you on a flavorful journey--simply unforgettable and a must-try at Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar!
