Firefly - Wilmette

Read more about Firefly Kitchen a few years ago and wanted to try. That was our first visit. We were lucky to sit outside in their small private terrace. Food and service were excellent. We just went through the restaurant interior so I can't comment on it.

The service started great and then slowed down dramatically. It took 20 minutes from the time the waiter left the check to pick up my credit card. Luckily we were not in a hurry.

I feel bad sticking a nail in this restaurant's coffin but...Went here on a Saturday night at prime time and it was basically empty. It never filled up. It's a very attractive space but it felt sad. Waiter was fine but seemed to have a little attitude. Seemed to to want to rush us along even though no one was there. Food was ok. Not bad. But the prices are more in line with a NYC restaurant so the food wasn't good enough to justify that. I've wanted to try this place for a long time based on the look of of it and the menu. I'm disappointed it was not what I hoped. Don't expect it to stick around and I won't be back.

The server said many items on the menu had changed and it was only 7 pm. The outdoor garden is nice . The chicken was just ok Nd was priced too high

Excellent food and attentive service. One of our favorite neighborhood places!
