An airy, attractive venue with Spanish Mediterranean decor, this restaurant stands out from the rest of the Row. It serves dozens of small plates (aka tapas, for all you foodie trend-followers) as well as a few rather unusual entrees. Must-try items include the spicy lamb sausage and the sauteed shrimp with salsa verde. Though tapas are a Spanish concept, most on this menu are suited to local tastes. You'll find bruschetta, ceviche and duck egg rolls -- dishes that are international, but not exactly foreign -- as well as familiar nibbles like the parmesan cheese fries and calamari. The appropriate way to enjoy your meal is with a large group of friends, preferably ones who don't mind sharing their food, and ideally ones who can quaff as much sangria as you can. That sweet, red wine concoction is an integral part of any tapas feast. Live music in the main bar area is Firefly's own innovation, and it definitely adds to the ambience. Food is served into the wee hours, making this an ideal place for a leisurely, European-style midnight supper.

    I too have been to Spain and eated in "cafeterias" which is what they call their local bars. Sawdust is on the floor along with olive pits, chicken bones and cigarette butts! I saw a guy catch his pant cuff on fire and douse it with beer - too fun, it's loud and rauchous and Firefly is the closest to a real Spanish cafeteria I have found on mainland USA!

    We are locals an truly love Firefly, when we have a company event or just to hang with friends this is our favorite destination. Try their Sangria's white and red are both excellente`

    I thought the food was very good. The place was packed, however we still got great service and at a great price. I am a local and will go back. Some tourists go to these places, and already have their minds made up that it won't be good, such as the Spaniard who commented.

    I love Firefly. I'm a local and appreciate a unique place that's reasonably priced. The food is always amazing. A true Vegas original. I never get tired of the sangria and the menu. Try the skewers with the shrimp, steak and chorizo. Awesome.

  • Firefly is GREAT!

    Don't listen to that Spanish guy who wrote the bad review. I've been to Spain a dozen times and I can tell you that their "tapas", although they may be "authentic" are usually just garbage. Potato chips or a bowl of olives or some stale bread.

    Firefly has the best food in town for my money. Plus I can't stand Spanish guys. They are a bunch of nationalistic, arrogant jerks. Spain this and Spain that. Forget them. Check out Firefly for BETTER than the "real" thing.
