Beautiful waitress with long, flowing black hair — I unfortunately forgot her name. We had dinner our first night there on Friday, January 30, and were seated outside the restaurant. It was our daughter’s 4th birthday, and when we mentioned it, she immediately showed genuine excitement and surprised her with a beautiful birthday dessert — ice cream with a cookie, sprinkles, and a candle. The attention to detail and care she showed really stood out. Both our kids were thrilled, and it created a memory our family will always remember. Every time we come back to visit and dine here, we’ll think of that moment. Also, everything we ordered was amazing — the fried fish, salads, and the kids’ meals were all excellent. Thank you for your warm personality and thoughtful service — we truly appreciate it.

I had breakfast at Firefly (inside the Dana Hotel) after walking over from the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, and it was a nice start to the day. I ordered an omelet and was initially served the wrong one, but the staff corrected it quickly without any fuss, which I appreciated. The coffee was excellent—really, really good. I chose to sit outside, and the relaxed outdoor setting added to the overall experience. It’s a great spot if you want a casual breakfast with good service and a pleasant ambiance.

Also the bartender was absolutely incredible. We stopped by as soon as we arrived and he made our arrival so much fun and enjoyable. And went out of his way to accommodate us. We feel PAMPERED. Thank you so much Aldo!
