Firefly Bistro & Bar 22 Concord Street, Manchester, NH 03101

"Visited the place with a special friend recently for the first time, and would highly recommend it. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. The brick interior adds warmth and character to the ambiance, which is ideal for a casual evening out or perhaps something a little more special. They have a good craft cocktail selection, and the Purple Haze I had hit the spot just right; a bit sweet but with a kick. The Crispy Brussel Sprout appetizer was delicious, and the Lobster and Grilled Corn Risotto along with the Pan seared Scallops were every bit as delectable and appetizing. A shout out to our server Katy, who made our evening very special, and was just a pleasure to have around. The Orange Pistachio Martini capped off a wonderful evening, and made for a very satisfying experience overall. This is a place where a re-visit is a given."

"I went on a Saturday with a friend and found we were able to seated without a reservation at bout the last table available at 5:00 pm. We ordered the calamari as a starter which was nice and tender inside with a light batter coating. It was a very good start to our meal. We ordered the Boneless Beef Short Rib with root vegetables and the Bourbon Street Fettuccine as entrees. My short ribs were tender and flavorful with a nice gravy over the root vegetables. The risotto was decent but not very flavorful. It could have used more seasoning. A bit more of the root vegetables would have been nice as well. My friend said the Bourbon Street Fettuccine was good but only had one small piece of crawfish in the whole dish. The Andouille sausage was quite spicy even for somone used to spice. The overall sausage flavor of the dish slightly overpowered the rest of the seafood in the dish. Some people do prefer it that way though. For dessert we ordered the Pear and Apple Crisp with vanilla ice cream and a Creme Brulle. Both were excellent and a nice ending to our meal. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, especially on the rainy day we were there. The service was very good as well. We did not have to wait for anything and she did check up on us more than once during our meal which was great. Overall we would certainly go back to Firefly Bar & Bistro and would try different entrees but keep the same appetizer and desserts."

"Perhaps it's gluttony, but I would have preferred my steak frites to be a larger portion. However, the steak was good and the parmesan potato wedges very tasty. While my wife thought her chicken pad Thai a bit bland, I thought it was good, if not exceptional. A slice of the carrot cake, however, was one of the best we ever had!"

"Walked in around 7 on a Saturday, looked busy but was seated quickly, they in fact were very busy, but our server Sullivan (hopefully spelled correctly) made us feel like we were her only customers! She's was one of the best servers I've ever had! We started with martinis, and stuff olives were awesome. For apps, the calamari was crispy with great flavor. The bread I forget the name is a must get with the delicious cheese fondue sauce yummy!!! For dinner we ordered short ribs, chicken ,scallops, steak with fries, the best plate was the short ribs but the scallops came in a close 2nd. Dessert creme Brule again like rest of meal outstanding! Only thing I'm not happy about is I just now tried it after years of walking by. Can not wait to go back!!! Great job firefly keep up all the hard work."

"Went on a Monday at 11A and it wasn’t crowded, laid-back vibes and the service was extremely sweet and attentive. I had the apple cider mimosa which was refreshingly delicious. Highlight of my meal. For appetizers we tried the sweet Thai chili calamari which was a 10/10. My friend had the grilled cheese with tomato soup and I had the steak tips with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Everything was fantastic. No complaints"
