Great. Cole slaw with a hint of horseradish to keep it interesting. Mashed potatoes with enough small lumps to let you know potatoes were mashed. Loved the gravy. Chicken meat not dry and not injected with water. Skin and just enough crust were fried to perfection. Can imagine them using pipettes and nanogram scales to get the proportions just right. Friendly wait staff. Save room for bread pudding.
This restaurant in Noe Valley never disappoints. They use locally sourced food and organic when possible. I've been going there for years and have never had a bad meal. Keep up the great work!

Delicious food, kinds and helpful staff, lots of gluten-free and vegan choices. What more could you want? (OK, parking would be nice, but you can't have everything, can you?).
never had a meal that failed to please, been coming here since the late 90's with family and friends. super little neighbourhood restaurant, that delivers extraordinary food.
My favorite restaurant. It's seriously best in SF hands down! Their menu is constantly evolving & changing so your taste buds will never get bored and anything you order is going to be delicious. Staff is top notch, from the busser, to waiters, to chefs are all very personable and knowledgeable.
What a great dining experience. Friends had heard about this restaurant but not yet visited — and gosh, are we happy they let us join them! The menu is mostly gluten free — and where it is not, alternatives were available. The flavors were well paired — the artichoke and green olive salad is a great way to start a meal. The wine list offers a great variety at most price points. From a truly gluten free perspective, the max and cheese was good — would have like a little more flavor, but that’s probably personal preference. The friend chicken was next level — perfect mix of crispy and moist — and not too greasy. The brownie sundae featured salted caramel drizzle and crispy corn flakes — it was great way to end the meal. All in all, this was a delicious meal and we highly recommend the visit.
Amazing spot, really nice ambiance with delicious food. Refined taste and surprising flavors with a lot of vegetarian options. I went there on a trip and definitely would come back in the future.
Came here last Friday with outdoor seating reservation. Servers were friendly. We are both vegan, ordered 3 apertizers and 2 entrees. Love the tostones and daikon cakes. Will skip the entrees next time. Gumbo was definitely better than the Enchiladas. Our server, Samie was checking on us and when she noticed we were not into the entree especially the Enchiladas, she comped that entree. What a surprise, appreciate her gesture (we gave a 30% tip pre-discount subtotal)! We will return for sure, but just for the Vegan apertizers.
Ventured into a new neighborhood that I haven't been too lately...Noe Valley! Made a reservation for a date out with the wife. We were fortunate to get a reservation about the time that they opened. The service was great. The food was well portioned and reasonable. The menu items were unique and delicious. The only draw back is that they don't have typical soft drinks like Coke, etc. I guess the menu was unique enough that I should've expected that. All good. Will be back in the future!

We really enjoy firefly. My wife is strict vegan, and they have many dishes which either are or can be made vegan. I am not vegan. We always get the seed loaf, really enjoy the rustic flavors. I enjoy the Pao de Queijo, and the onion jam that comes with it is my favorite. The Mexican street corn is mild and delightful.
My wife enjoys the daikon radish cakes and usually gets them as her main, supplemented with something else since they're a starter and a little small for a main. The choppy salad is excellent even in vegan form. The spring salad is also excellent as a vegan option. I've had both the fried chicken and the braised pork; both are excellent. The only quibble is that the "damn fine buttermilk biscuit" hasn't actually been that great on two occasions - it tends to be overcooked and not so tender. I will try the cornbread next time. The Mac and cheese is fine but not spectacular.
For dessert, the chocolate peanut butter bar is excellent, but get the vanilla ice cream rather than the coffee cocoa nib vegan ice cream if you can. The dulce de leche pot de creme is excellent but very rich. And the key lime pie is also excellent, not too tart or too sweet - just right, but smaller than I would like.
