Firefly, the quintessential urban neighborhood restaurant, is a down-to-earth place where the casual vibe is heightened by the mouth watering cuisine of Executive Chef Daniel Bortnick. Located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, Firefly has become a DC fixture. The menus feature American comfort food reborn as contemporary takes on classics. Firefly regulars will insist you try some of the signature dishes, including the Mini Pot Roast, Shrimp & Grits, Deviled Eggs and our 1/2 pound Burger topped off with a beer battered Pickle. Chef Bortnick is committed to supporting local farmers and purveyors, and uses the season's bounties to drive the ever-evolving seasonal menus. Local meats are featured in the house made charcuterie, sausages, and loving braises and all the seafood is selected with sustainability in mind. Hand-picked to complement the cuisine, the all-American wine list shows an affinity for small winemakers and producers and our specialty cocktail menu features a wealth of "farm-to-glass" seasonal beverages. The interior takes its cue from Chef Bortnick's commitment to environmental sustainability. From the salvaged barn wood tables to the recycled wine bottle glassware, there are countless touches that speak to the message; reduce, reuse, recycle. Upon arrival, you will immediately notice the floor-to-ceiling "firefly tree", hung with candle-lit lanterns. Seated in the intimate 60-seat dining room or the 32-seat lounge, watch the chefs at work in the kitchen tucked behind a rustic stone wall. The soothing environment, accentuated by a welcoming, attentive staff will make you feel like you're part of our family.
