Firefly At The Dana Mission Bay

I probably would not go back. walking on the water afterwards was nice, though. The waiter was not very attentive. Some of the food was great, some not so good. Everything was very expensive

The restaurant was great. Opentable.com however, gave me only two choices of reservation times early in the morning. Thinking these were the only available times we went to eat. Come to find out there was practically no one there and we could have gone later. Not sure why the website didn't have more choices. Wouldn't use Opentable again.

We decided to sit indoors to avoid both the sun and a large, noisy group. However, it turned out to be quite loud inside as well, with the blenders creating a jarring and irritating noise. The small plates and appetizers, though, were delightful and surprisingly affordable when compared to the entrees, which were quite pricey. We ordered the sea bass to share for $26, and while it was delicious, it felt expensive relative to the other smaller dishes. The view from our table was of a bustling pool scene. Overall, I was impressed with the food and decor, but the location and the distracting bar noise left much to be desired.

What a gem! The location is fantastic, and the happy hour menu is amazing—everything is simply delicious. The regular menu is also great and reasonably priced. Enrico and Sydney are wonderful servers who made our two visits even more enjoyable. Plus, it's dog-friendly!

We spent the weekend in Dana and ended our time with dinner and brunch at Firefly. Saturday evening's dinner on the terrace was wonderful; the atmosphere was pleasant, the food was delicious, and the live music added an extra touch! Sunday brunch was not as impressive, but they did offer an omelette bar and a variety of other food options.
