The atmosphere at the Firefly Grill was so enveloping. You walk in and right away you feel like you were transported out of Sourthern Illinois and into a city where luxury is a high priority. I had forgot where I was as we sat on the scenic covered porch overlooking a private pond and fountain enjoying some of the finest... More

We live an hour from this restaurant and had heard good things. They are all true. Only fresh ingredients are used and are locally obtained whenever possible. The seafood is flown in twice a week and never frozen. The server can tell you the name of the farm where the meat is obtained. They skim the cream from the fresh... More

This was our first visit to the Firefly but it will not be our last. The food was OUTSTANDING and comparable to some of the finer big-city restaurants. The steaks were melt-in-your-mouth delicious cooked to perfection. ( A little pricy-yes-but they are Allen Brothers Steaks). The pork shank and scallops were also very good as were most of the entrees.... More

First class restaurant in an unlikely location. Not sure how they manage to stay in business being located in what seems like in the middle of nowhere among a sea of chain restaurants. Excellent, crusty, generously sized, complimentary loaf of bread started the meal--the best we had at any restaurant from Michigan to Palm Springs and back. Our entrees were... More

I have eaten at the Firefly five times over the last four years, usually only on special occasions since it is expensive. I really love the decor but have been disappointed by the food on several occasions. I agree with another reviewer who commented that for the price the food should be better on a consistent basis. I've never had... More

I stopped at this restaurant with friends while traveling. The restaurant was almost entirely empty, and now I know why. The hostess who sat us had an extreme attitude. We waited at our table for 20 minutes but no server ever came to take our order. There were plenty or servers walking around or talking at the bar. Eventually we... More

This is a juxtaposition of eclectic decor in the middle of rural farm country. Not over rated but over priced for the community. Travelers like us visit as we are intrigued by the exterior and impressed by the interior. Staff was excellent. Love when all servers help one another. Now for the food. Had an average tasting pizza. Sorry. I... More

Service and food wonderful. Ambiance good. Would visit again, but prices mean it is not a place for a weekly meal. Special place for special occasions.

We were there for dinner one evening. This is the only restaurant of its type in central Illinois so I think that's why they get so much hype However, it's very pricey, actually it's too pricey for what you get. Meat was tough and salads were limp. Waitstaff, however, was very nice and also very helpful. But we left, after... More
