We were served by Destiny, who treated us with the warmest energy and like we were best friends. Cannot recommend this location enough. Will 1000% be going back ASAP!“

“Down Home is one of those little hidden gems you stumble across by chance. My family and I were lured in by the phenomenal smells drifting through the shopping center. The dining room was cozy, and we were greeted with a warm “welcome home”. As is our tradition in new restaurants, we each ordered a different dish to share. Absolutely NOTHING was less than phenomenal. The fried chicken was juicy inside, crisp and savory outside. The waffles were light and fluffy and buttery. The blackened shrimp and grits were very nearly a spiritual experience. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. And the cornbread was moist and crumbly and sweet, easily the best cornbread I’ve eaten in years. The staff were attentive and friendly but not invasive. My only regret in this entire experience is that I didn’t find them sooner. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Karen was an awesome server and the food was delicious. A+!“

“I’d recommend the chocolate pie over the key lime because A. It was too sour and B. I bit down on something metallic. Fortunately the guy was very understanding and gave me a chocolate pie on the house so I’d say definitely still try it out. Just FYI though, it’s only open 12-5 and that’s just Wednesday through Saturday. The rest of the week it’s entirely closed.“

“I have dined at this restaurant numerous times since April 2024. They have greeted me at the door and have made me feel like I was a real VIP customer. The food has always been delicious , my favorite is the Tuscan Chicken. The bar menu up stairs- Martini's are absolutely fabulous. I look for this to be my hangout meeting spots for business. I appreciate the warm welcoming feeling I get when I visit.“

“My Star Trek Meet up group are regulars. We come every few months, we were there in Sept, Oct and plan to be there again in Nov. I tried the patty melt for the first time. The burger was slightly overcooked, but still edible so I didn't mention it. Other than that everything was very good. My friends and I had a great time. Andre was a wonderful and very attentive waiter.

Dietary restrictions: My friend can't have cheese so he asked that his burger didn't have cheese on it. He was very happy with it“

“Best Experience I’ve had ❤️ I will be attending again service was amazing“

“Great potential for the falafel platter, with some missteps that keep it from being five stars.First, the good:- sauces were excellent (toum, shut)- dips were great (hummus, labneh, and a chickpea stew)- bread (shrak) was great- fries were great (served with cilantro)- onion/parsley garnish was very good but needed to be more of it- falafel was good- salata was pretty goodHere’s what can be improved:- the Persian style grilled tomato and grilled onion make no sense as a side for a falafel platter… it should either be served with tabbouleh or chopped raw tomatoes and onion, either of which add freshness and cut through the heavy sauces- speaking of tabbouleh, it was supposed to come with some but didn’t- the fries, falafel and chickpea stew were a little too salty- personal preference: I don’t like pickled beets in general very much, I didn’t like these pickled beets in particular very much, and I strongly feel that pickled cucumbers are superior on a falafelThe good parts about the platter were great. But, the actual falafel wrap was a little off, because it lacked fresh veggies. The sauce, the bread will keep me coming back, but I hope the owners take note of this feedback

Vegetarian options: Falafel platter seems to be vegetarian friendly“

“We had an amazing and beautiful experience at the Firefly restaurant Friday.

We came in earlier around 6:30 it was our anniversary and the service from our host and waiter was exceptional. They seated us at a nice table and immediately served us with cold water and good service was fast and top quality. The waiter was really nice to us and the food especially was delicious.

We ordered the filet mignon with Brussels sprouts and truffle fries and the firefly burger with truffle fries. By far one of the best meals of my life, the steak was tender and cooked perfectly to our desires. The firefly burger patty was tasteful and extremely well balanced.
We particularly loved the truffle Parmesan fries, they were fresh and crunchy, Parmesan flavor at the forefront with a light truffle taste left in your mouth. Delicious and one of the highlights of the meal.
We ordered dessert which was crème brûlée, side note I’m from France, but the crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had crunchy not burnt and the cream light, the restaurant even offered it as a gift for our anniversary.

Overall our experience was perfect and we had nothing bad to remark, thank you to the staff for making our night perfect.

Vegetarian options: Some dishes clearly seen as vegetarian“

“Dropped by for dinner, and it was just a short walk from the Ritz. The food was ok, and the service was spotty. The place was pretty busy with hotel guests. The decor was nice and the lounge was posh. Good to see people out enjoying themselves.“

“2 Slobbery thumbs up! Millie enjoys!“
