How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
For my birthday my amazing boyfriend whisked me off from the cold of San Francisco to the desert warmth of Vegas. After meticulous planning and calling in his connections he was recommenced to take me to Firefly for dinner (he knows my love of eating tiny bits of food with my hands). The sangria was delicious and the service was polite and very swift (some of the best service we had in Vegas). The tapas were all delicious however the one that outshined all of them was the dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon (he also knows my love of bacon). So delicious we ended up ordering a second round even though neither of us were hungry. Also to everyone complaining that this place isnt authentic Spanish tapas well duh....first of all its Vegas...is there anything authentic in Vegas? Second, nowhere does Firefly claim to be authentic tapas restaurant (although 2 pitchers of Sangria in, I wasnt looking for fine print on the menu). In fact in most of the US and Europe, tapas is its own cuisine that doesnt necessarily pertain to Spanish cooking...look it up...no seriously...go ahead I'll wait. You back? Good, probably about half the tapas places Ive eaten at arent anywhere near traditional Spanish food, which I am very well educated in (trust me, Im dating a mexican so yeah my word is gold...or at least gold plated). Yet, I can still enjoy tapas even when they arent made with olives from Tia's ranch. Bottom line, good food is good food no matter what you call it, and Firefly is good food.
