We enjoyed Firefly. I loved the Strawberry Smash Gin drink, so good. We loved the Kobe Beef Carpaccio. It was delish. But, after we received our appetizer, we asked for bread and was told we could not get bread until we ordered an entree. We were flabbergasted! What? We really wanted the bread with the appetizer, but we had to order first. I've worked in fine dining for 20 years and never would tell a customer they couldn't have bread! I'm not sure of their rules, but this is not a good rule. We felt rushed, which should not happen. The honey soy glazed Salmon was wonderful, and my husband enjoyed the Bolognese. Overall, it was a nice experience except for the bread and ordering issues.

I was in Panama City for a birthday dinner. The birthday girl decided to go Firefly. It is a very nice restaurant. It had a lot of seated areas. The staff was great. Our waiter Jeffrey was excellent he gave recommendations on the items on the menu. He made sure our drinks stayed full. All of our food came out in a timely manner.I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken in a homemade crouton bowl and chicken Alfredo that was delicious. I will be going back to try something different.

Loved this place! We lived it so much we went two times during the week we were there! Definitely recommend
What ever you served me wasn’t shrimp and grits and nothing like the picture online. It was really a nasty deep fried concoction.

My husband unknowingly made reservations on our anniversary on a night they had 2 events going on. We were sat at a hightop table in the sushi bar area. It was not romantic at all. A waiter poured us waters and said our server will be right with us. Then the same waiter came back and said he was our server. He recommended the she crab soup and grouper. The soup was way too salty and my grouper was NOT a filet that I was expecting for the cost at this restaurant. I got 4 tiny grouper nuggets that were overcooked and dried out like jerky. I would have given the atmosphere another try if it wasn't for how bad the food was. Very disappointed as this restaurant was highly recommended. And found it very tacky they place in the menu they charge you a fee for using credit card.

Absolutely love this place. Everything is top notch from the food to the service. Our waiter Kamar was amazing and took great care of us. I highly recommend this restaurant. The prices are very fair when you think about the quality of the food. One of the best restaurants in Panama City Beach ⛱️
Had the most delicious dinner here!!! My best friend decided to have her birthday dinner here and everything was top notch. Our server Jeffrey was the best!!!! We loved his recommendations and his service!! He kept our drinks coming and made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. I had the best Lemon Drop Martini ever!!!! It tasted just like a piece of lemon starburst candy! The Scallops were jaw dropping delicious. I was hesitant on trying lemon risotto but I'm glad I did. I cleaned my plate, lol. Best dining experience I have had in a long time!!

My husband & I love everything about this place!It is in a great location & the atmosphere was ideal.The service was fantastic, our server was very patient with us & answered all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable of the menu & the art of culinary.The FOOD was SO GOOD. You can’t leave without trying the sushi. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.The restaurant is very elegant. I would consider this more of fine dining. We have seen children in before, but we save this outing for our kid free nights.

Such a beautiful place to get dinner with our family. We booked through Open Table and highly recommend doing that. The host stand isn’t right by the door and more off to the side but we got helped right away. The food was very good. My husband had sushi and a cucumber salad and I did the crab cakes. Our little boy had the chicken tenders and fries. It did take a little while for our food but they brought us out bread and some spreads for us while we waited. Definitely will be back. For kids they gave them a coloring sheet. Staff were so friendly. Always made sure we were okay and refilled our waters all the time.
Delicious as always.
