Fireflies, we are READY for a good weekend. 👀

First up, we brought back the pork belly steamed buns!! And if you know, you know. These are always one of the first specials to go, so do not wait around on these.

We also added a Black & Blue Salad to the mix with grilled flank steak, Point Reyes blue cheese + all the good stuff.

And then… the one you’re gonna want to leave room for. The Peanut Butter Caramel S’more. I mean, just look at Trapper. 😂 It’s THAT good.

And while we’re at it, we’ve added 19 completely new bottles to the wine menu. Yes, we’re not kidding… 19!! So there’s plenty of new wine to try this weekend.

We even brought in a 10 + 20 year tawny port, and if you’re getting the Peanut Butter Caramel S’more, this is your sign to pair it with a glass for the perfect little after-dinner situation.

Basically… you need to come see us this weekend. 😎

There’s just nothing like Tegeler sweet corn season. 🌽

And apparently we’ve decided there’s no such thing as too much of it… because yes, we even put it in ice cream. 🤤

Tegeler Brown Butter Corn Cake, Sweet Corn Risotto, Pan-Roasted Patagonian Salmon, Berkshire Pork Chop… sweet corn has been having a very good summer around here.

Okay, what’s been your favorite dish this summer?? 👀

We’re officially one month out from our 20th Anniversary Bash, and we’re still thinking about this day. 🥹

Just so, so, so thankful for every Firefly who showed out to celebrate with us, our incredible vendors who helped make the day what it was, and our amazing staff who pulled it all together.

And most of all, thank you to every single person who has walked through our doors, shared a meal with us, celebrated with us, worked alongside us, and supported Firefly over the last 20 years.

20 years wouldn’t have happened without you. Here’s to many, many more. 🤘❤️

Weekend specials are looking GOOD. 👀

We’ve got tender short rib, our Southwest Farm Salad + strawberry shortcake to finish it all off. 🍓

And if you’re ordering the short rib, pro tip: pair it with a glass of Frei Bros. Merlot. 🍷 It’s smooth, full-bodied + has just enough dark fruit to make it a really good pairing.

Come see us this weekend!

Fri + Sat | 11 AM–10 PM
Sun | 10 AM–8 PM

It’s Chef Will’s last day at Firefly!

We’re so grateful for everything he’s brought to our team, especially his creativity, talent, and all the incredible food along the way.

We’re so excited to cheer him on in his next chapter and see where his talents take him. Thank you for everything, Chef Will! 🤘

Such a special evening to be a part of. ❤️🤘

We loved bringing Cedarhurst’s collection to the table through a five-course menu inspired by the art and artifacts featured throughout the night. Thank you, Cedarhurst, for having us!

You know what time it is... weekend specials!! 🤤

The Firefly Scallop Panzanella is back, folks, and you don’t want to miss it. Pan seared scallops paired with heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, grilled focaccia, and all the summer flavors.

We’re also serving up our Firefly Farm Tomato Carpaccio, made with tomatoes picked straight from the farm. Fresh, simple, and everything we love about summer on a plate.

And don’t forget the Farmstand Fizz. With Wheatley vodka, fresh watermelon purée, simple syrup, and soda water, it’s the perfect sip alongside this week’s specials. 🍉🍸

Swipe to the end for the full lineup of this weekend’s specials.
