FIREFLY CAFE

He says:
Firefly Café is a sunny, bustling eatery located at Troup Square in Savannah’s historic downtown. In a city with far too many tourist traps, it’s a pleasure to find a café where Southern ladies, local SCAD students, and out-of towners (like us) can comfortably mix. Firefly’s motto “Treat the neighbors like family and the visitors like neighbors” definitely rang true for me. Even though there was a sizable crowd waiting on the sidewalks for Saturday lunch, within 10 minutes we were given a wonderful window seat in the restaurant’s airy interior.

My grilled veggie sandwich was simple and perfect: grilled eggplant, mushrooms, and zucchini, a smear of goat cheese, all on toasted French bread. The Caesar salad that came with was made with fresh Caesar dressing and big crunchy croutons – delish.

He says:
The ingredients in the grilled salmon club I ordered reads like a Downtown Boy greatest hits list: grilled Alaskan salmon, apple wood smoked bacon, a toasted croissant. Yum! I’d devour each of these items by themselves, but they’re even better when piled into a sandwich. The salmon fillet was overcooked near the edges, but the fattier sections were melt-in-your-mouth tender. The crunchy bacon provided an excellent textural contrast, and I didn’t have to pick out the tomatoes because they were actually in season. The side pasta salad was alright, but if I’d known the Caesar salad was as good as it was, I would have chosen that.

We say:
It’s hard to beat the Firefly Café for simple, delicious fare in Savannah.
