So I railed against a Boystown eatery last week,
so this week I will praise one. I love taking a
date to Firefly at 3335 N. Halsted St.
From a casual bite before a show at the Playground
Improv Theatre to a fancy dinner to celebrate
a birthday, Firefly has you covered. My
friends and I like to converge there for cocktails
before we go to any of the Boystown bars. The
bartender is really cute and the booze is … well,
it’s always delicious.
The mussels with duck sausage is wonderful
starter and I love a good charcuterie. The sandwiches
and burgers are a good value if you’re
on a budget, but the entrees really do sing. Eat
the tilapia roasted with a lemon caper sauce
much like a picatta or the pork chops which
comes with a savory bread pudding.
The staff is wonderful and the service leaves
no glass unfilled. The décor is romantic without
being overbearing. And the location gives you
so much to do either before dinner or after. Blue
Man Group is nearby. Steamworks is too.
