Firefly Restaurant

Tucked into the leafy Noe Valley neighborhood at 4288 24th Street, Firefly Restaurant blends a relaxed American vibe with a touch of culinary curiosity. The interior features warm wood tones, low‑lit tables, and a tiny heated "parquelette" patio perfect for cooler evenings. Guests can reserve a table online at fireflysf.com or call after 3 pm Tuesday through Saturday; the restaurant welcomes parties of up to six. Hours run from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, Tuesday‑Saturday, with a focus on dinner service. The menu highlights inventive desserts such as a pistachio‑olive oil cake swirled with rose‑mascarpone and cardamom raspberries, a sticky banana cake drenched in rum‑butterscotch sauce paired with coconut‑ginger ice cream, honey‑chamomile pot de crème with apricots and amaretto chantilly, and a brownie sundae topped with frozen vanilla custard, salted caramel and corn‑flake crunch. Vegan and gluten‑free options are available upon request, reflecting the chef’s “witchy magic.” Beverage choices include Italian Asti, French Petit Manseng, Portuguese Tawny Port, Spanish Sherry, freshly brewed coffee, and a selection of teas. The kitchen emphasizes wholesome ingredients—seed‑rich breads, EVOO‑based spreads, and baby broccoli—while a 10 % donation of Wednesday sales supports the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Whether you’re a local looking for a casual dinner or a visitor seeking a neighborhood gem, Firefly offers a welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful cuisine, and a chance to give back.
