Firefly is unique for Key West in so many ways. Everything is made from scratch; the food plating is absolutely flawless and the décor has a southern comfort feel. With a few little accented knick- knacks above the wooden bar, it has that little extra fun ambience. If you choose to sit at their vintage looking wooden bar, you still have that scene of overlooking the street of Petronia, along with seeing a bunch of locals waving. The restaurant is everchanging with their incredible selection of beers on draft. They keep up with the “stylish brews” by suggestions from their craft beer purveyors. The owner is hands-on, and I was extremely impressed with how she works with the servers with every aspect of the place during my visit there.

Shrimps were excellent. Battered deep fried broccoli was okay but needed a dipping sauce. This restaurant caters to people who love meat and fried foods, which we do not. It’s not representative of the cuisine that’s made the Keys famous as a dining destination, which is great seafood, wonderful vegetables, soups, and salads.

First of all the fact that they call it supper and not dinner, says a lot. It’s southern style dining (upstairs, the tables can be pushed together to seat an extended family) complete with fried chicken, AMAZING biscuits (I’ve never had better) with homemade jam, homemade pickles-all these details that count. There’s definitely a skillful chef at work- you can tell in things like heirloom tomatoes in the salad, REALLY good homemade pickled veggies (including onions + always all different vegetables), with rare exception, no one’s mama or grandma cooks like this for “Sunday supper” so it’s better than that southern family dinner you might envy or dream about. The Benne crackers are crumbly + rich. + so good with homemade pimiento cheese, it’s worth it just for those. Just shows what taking a building from scratch and taking tradition a little above and beyond can do.
