Bustling Spanish eatery serving tapas & cocktails in a loungelike setting with patio seating.
Firefly* Tapas Kitchen & Bar in Boulder City
Description
Privilege
We stayed at the Fairfield Inn right next door, and walked over to Firefly for Happy Hour. We shared 5 of the tapas dishes and a couple of sangrias. Everything was excellent!!!
MoreHonestly was fantastic. Came to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday and it was amazing! Service, decor, drinks and food all brilliant. Especially the lamb chops. Best thing we’ve eaten in Vegas will come back again!
MoreAll the food we tried was very good. Service was even better. Arrived early for reservation. They seated us early. Food was delivered swiftly. Wait staff checked on us frequently and refilled soft drinks promptly. Only issue was it was too loud. We were glad to be seated away from the center and would have preferred to eat outdoors.
MoreThe food here was excellent, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. I went here with a group of 20 people and a member of the group had to go around adding up everyones checks at the end because the staff refused to do split checks. I had an extra $10 added to my bill to cover a $200 fee that wasnt disclosed beforehand and after everyone paid we were somehow still $300 short so either EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN OUR PARTY forgot at least one item that they ordered or we were charged for items we didnt order. Great food, but I cant in good conscience recommend this place after the experience we had here.
MoreLove the Tapas to share with friends and family. Innovative, layered, flavors. I would definitely recommend to come here 100% sober to thoroughly enjoy the complexity of the food.
MoreAuthentic tapas served quickly and with love. The restaurant is noisy and they should do something about that but the food is all flavorful and executed with precision.I would return in a heartbeat.
MoreThe hostess young girl from Friday night are probably the best hostess we ever met. She greet us with smile, offer us water while we waiting, went over the menu with us, in between she wipe down the table help turn over. She is wonderful young lady. They have good happy hour menu, drinks are good, food are good. Definitely go back again
MoreHighly recommend!!! Lots of gluten free options, accepted reservations, prompt service, good drinks, food was delicious!!! Get the buzzed bunny cocktail, so good. Combination paella takes 45 minutes but totally worth it!!!
MoreThe driver on the way suggested the bacon wrapped dates and they were incredible!We always try the calamari and here did not disappoint either.Our original party was a no show but Paul was kind enough to hook it up!Will recommend and will be back for those dates!Thank you for making an impromptu date special!
MoreAbsolutely fantastic. We got the baked goat cheese, empanadas, and lamb chops. It smelled and looked so good, we forgot to take pics of the food.
MoreAll the food was amazing. I especially loved the meatballs and bacon wrapped dates. Our server was super helpful and nice. Overall service was fast and we never had to wait on our orders, which is rare these days. Two tapas per person was enough for us.. But some may need more.
MoreDelicious small plates. Everything on thirty menu is great, especially the red sangria and stuffed dates
MoreFantastic cocktails! Very busy and loud. Food is good and varied. There was only 1 bartender on to take care of the 20 people at the bar, plus making drinks for the wait staff. Emmanuel did a great job despite this. A good place, and not overpriced for Vegas.
MoreWow! Great food, crazy quick service. Wonderful blend of flavors
Around the corner from the strip. Enjoy sharable portions for you and your friends before a fun night in Vegas.
MoreMy favorite dinner spot for years. Perfect intimate atmosphere for a special date or great friends. I always order bacon wrapped dates to start. Followed by lamb chops, spicy shrimp, and scallops. I suggest to order protein tapas because youll easy get filled and distracted with yummy veggies options. Also, make room for the most delicious mojitos and mules as a refresher. Enjoy!!
MoreHonestly such a good restaurant with delicious tapas. We had the chorizo skewers, chicken skewers, goats cheese, patatas bravas, Mac and cheese, meatballs and the sliders. All delicious. Will be coming back next time we are in Vegas.
MoreFive stars, and you can tell the food is going to be amazing when you walk in and see the crowd. They are working their butts off to make sure everyone is taken care of, but on a Thursday night you may have to wait to be seated, for your food, and for your check. Thats OK, enjoy it. Once the food comes you realize it is absolutely worth it. Why go to some overdone Strip restaurant that is more presentation than flavor when you can come here and have your taste excited in a truly unforgettable way?
MoreThis place was surprising. From the outside it doesnt look like much, but when you walk in its quite nice. You need a reservation, or you can self-sit at the bar. Stopped in around 4:30pm for a small bit to hold over until dinner. The flavor was amazing. Despite not being busy, the first plate came out quick (~8 minutes), but the second plate came out 20 minutes after the first plate.Price: Reasonable, 2 small plates was $25 which is a good snack for 2 people.Menu: Good variety, gluten free was marked on the menu.Parking: Easy, its in the back and free.
MoreWe stop in every time were in Vegas and have had nothing but great experiences. Food is always good and consistent, have never had to wait on a table even visiting different times of day/week, and the prices are great for the spread. Love, love firefly!
MoreWe had great meal with excellent service. The food prices were awesome as well! I highly recommend this food joint.
MoreIve had different tapas before but none like this. We went family style on it and just picked a little of everything. Nothing was a disappointment. The specialty cocktails were well done, the plates were full of flavor and came out of the kitchen like artwork. Highly recommend coming here!
MoreExcellent food. Large portions, larger than you would expect for tapas. Although nothing stood out as the best ever, everything was good and for the price this was an excellent choice. The service was fast, which we appreciated as we were headed to the airport after. I would certainly eat here again.
MoreAmazing find. We were at the Convention Center and we needed to kill time before some of my team went to the airport. Fortunately we found Firefly. The happy hour menu was great. Service was excellent. One of our party has several food allergies and they really ensured she would be safe and still be fed. Everythibg we tried was incredibly good. Recommend the Dates but the red potato dish was exceptional. Will make this a frequent stop on future Vegas trips.
MoreThis is my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. We go there to dinner at least once or twice every time we visit. The tapas are amazing as well as the paellaIts off the charts! Best sangria too.
MoreThe food taste good but they removed several of their best items from the menu. This location is so loud that youre not able to carry on a conversation with others at your own table. They should turn down the music which would encourage people to speak more Softly and enjoy the atmosphere as well as the food.
MoreGreat service by Luis and team, tasty homemade sangria (see pic), tapas was good, but not quite authentic.
Morethe food is very bad, little, and the paella is very bad, extremely fatal. and very little without paella flavor. absolutely disappointed. $107 on these two plates. a horrible dessert, burnt and bitter. Of the worst I really tell you that our experience in this place was terrible. We never go back, nor do they give us food. not worth it. honestly no.
MoreEvery time I come to Vegas I have to visit FireFly. It has a trendy casual vibe that works for a date or a lunch meeting during the day. It is pretty close in proximity to the strip as well. The food is always hot and fresh. The are sure to bring out your dishes as theyre ready.My guest and I had the Rosemary Shrimp, the Garlic Shrimp and the Diabla Shrimp. The Diabla shrimp are sweet and spicy. The sauce was so good I had to order seconds. We also ordered Lamb Chops which were splendid and a side of broccoli. Additionally the drinks were perfect so get the Margarita. In closing, I will be sure to come back to Firefly on each visit to Vegas.
MoreAmazing food, great service, and a huge variety of food. There is definitely something for everyone here!Picture includes flan, banana Nutella sandwich, cheesecake bites, and chocolate tres leches cake
MoreThe food was divine and the drinks (I had the Firefly* Mulewere strong and delightful. The Ceviche of Shrimp was fresh and seasoned just right. The pan seared scallops were great (I didn’t much care for the piquillo-pepper potato soufflé—though my fiancé loved it—I prefer my sweet potatoes sweet). The Camarones al Ajillo were well seasoned with just enough spice to make it the best of the dishes I ordered. I also had the flourless chocolate cake/brownie. It was really good. My fiancé enjoyed several of the many vegetarian options: Tomato-Basil Soup, Broccolini, Manchego Mac-n-Cheese, Veggies & Lentils and the Caramel Flan for desert. All were tasty. However, the Banana-Nutella Sandwiches were kinda blah (flavorless).
MoreGreat food. Lots of gluten-free options. Great for mixed party guests of gf and non gf. Great service. Large patio. The Patio area has Cafe lights, fans, heaters and shade screens for all different weather conditions. Tile mosaics inside with fun decor. Lots of parking and its well lit behind the building.
MoreAbsolutely great choice, especially at Happy Hour when they have $8 cocktails and some tapas (like Tomato Bread for cheaper. This is a few minutes drive from the strip but absolutely worth it to check out . Birthday parties seem to be popular on their outdoor patio area too (where we sat . This place is special. Staff are very nice . I tried the Fly Margarita for $8 from the Happy Hour menuDelicious ! I was impressed. My friend got the Fly Mule drink that comes in a metal mug and he loved this so much he ordered a 2nd one . Calamari was good . The Pulpo Octopus comes with some crispy potatoes and is recommended. The Patatas Bravas is really delicious potato dish with sauce . My friend liked the Steak and mushrooms skewers too . Scallops were a low-key nice dish with a bright colored pepper sauce. Also tried the Firefly Salad with blue cheese but Id skip that because the beet pieces were so tiny. Try the tiny cheesecake dessert with strawberry and mango sauce. Delicious and not too filling. Recommended. This has got to be the best Happy Hour in Vegas (not in a hotel or casino. They have parking behind the restaurant free . Happy Hour is from 4 to 6 Monday through Friday.
MoreGluten free, vegan, and vegetarian allergen info listed on the menu. Sweethearts behind the bar. Babyback ribs were🤌
MoreI really would have loved to give 5 stars. Food was delicious, we had Tapas then a mixed paella, great red whine sangria too. Waiters were friendly, professional and quick. Its just because of them that I dont rate it 3 stars just for the food. Indeed the two ladies at the entrance of the restaurant who would register you for seating are an absolutely disaster for a business like this. No good evening and welcome, no or forced smiles, no communication when they lead you to your table. Robots. Sad and depressed robots. I observed the shortest of the two doing the same with other customers the whole time of my dinner. When getting out of the restaurant I was slow at the door passing in front of her : of course, like if I was a ghost, no goodbye no nothing. Im the manager of a company and I hope this message would be read by the manager of the restaurant : those two are the first people with whom your customers will have to deal with, we never have the opportunity to make twice a first good impression so my advice is : urgently FIRE them and let them FLY out elsewhere, far away from your fine restaurant.
MoreSpanish style “tapas” and “pinchos” with very interesting drinks and a spanish beer that was a great experience m, the octopus on the grill was excellent and you can have a great variety of dishes for a fair price to spend your time
MoreOutstanding Food & ServiceI recently had dinner at this restaurant with friends. They offer a wide variety of dishes on their menu focused on small plates. I highly recommend the empanadas, baked goat cheese, steak skewers and potatoes. The service for the entire meal was top notch five stars plus.
MoreFirefly is perfect for date night! There’s something on the menu for everyone and everything is always fresh. My personal favorites are the Apple Manchego Salad, Mussels and, Filet and Mushrooms Skewers. The drinks are well prepared, I especially like the mules and White Sangria and Jamaica Sour.
MoreThis place is always sooooo good. Ive ordered almost everything on the menu and it does not disappoint.
MoreTapas are a social event, the small plates let’s you share with others at your table. The food was great and Sangria was fresh.
MoreService was excellent. Empanadas, the pork and chicken were the best! Four stars reflect the prices. It was good food, some tasty, some not-so tasty...all of it should be outstanding for that kind of pricing.
MoreThis was by far some of the best tapas I have had in the US.. staff was amazing and food came out very quickly.. its good to come to Vegas and feel like you got your moneys worth when dining. Im seriously considering going two nights in a row!
MoreSolid choice for drinks and dinner. Had the shrimp ceviche, fries and the dates. Dates are very good. For drinks, enjoyed a pitcher of white sangria.
MoreI took my parents here for their anniversary and they loved it. The food was well prepared as well as quick too.The price too is very reasonable, made into small side dishes to share a variety of other dishes too.NOW, LETS TALK ABOUT THIS SANGRIA., first of yall yummy af but little did I know these pack a punch. Proud to say made. My parents. Drunk have a good food and drove them home. Save 😌 I mean they still paid.Oh and staff is funny tooLol one your staff actually made me laugh authentically fromm his comments. 4/5 is just because location is a little messy. Kinda hard to squeeze. InOther than that. Get those sangrias
MoreHoly smokes if in the area and wanted to eat great food about 1 mile off the strip this is the spot. I heard about it from a local and did not disappoint at all. The apple salad was probably my unexpected favorite of the tapas but the bacon wrapped almond dates were up there too. Everything was great including service. Place stays busy so recommend getting there early or reservations and keep in mind tapas are usually small plates so youll need to order at least a few.
MoreDefinitely one of my go to spots every time I am in Vegas. The food is extremely delicious with lots of varieties for all tastes and the service is fantastic at the same time. It doesn’t hurt that they also play great music.
MoreBeen searching for 7 yrs for a good Spanish not Mexican tapas and finally found it. Very good, reasonably priced and very quick to serve. Very quick to remove empty plates. This will be on our regular list of eateries.
MoreSuch a unique spot. Smaller dishes so make sure to get 2-3. The goat cheese was next level. We also got the octopus, scallops, fried squid, and steak. All of it was amazing.
MoreIve been going here for many years every time Im in Vegas. I always recommend it to others. Its grown since when it started and the menu has changed over time, but I still love it. The red sangria is YUMMY. All the dishes are great as well and the service is superb.
MoreSpanish tapas restaurant/bar has re-opened.My favorite tapas place to eat in all of Vegas. The food is unmatched. Absolutely delicious and delectable. Every time I go there I say it was the best ever. Everything was fantastic, but my favorite were bacon wrapped dates- a must try !!!! They have an excellent assortment of choices and everything we have tasted was phenomenal. Can’t go wrong with the fabulous tapas menu.The atmosphere is fun with the beautiful decor and very nice outdoor patio seating. Its the kind of place that you want to bring a handful of people to share as many tasty plates as possible. And lots of Sangria pitchers!Service is impeccable. Extremely attentive staff and very helpful .General manager has been with the company since 2007 and he truly cares about the restaurant and his customers. He will go an extra mile to satisfy his customers. Thank you for the best customer service experience ever!!!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!
