I remember reading the invitation on Facebook and being like WHHHAAAAATT?!?! Thank you Lord for this!!! Lol I loved Firefly so much before becoming a Vegan, somehow I stopped going, and to be honest I am not sure if they had some kind of vegan options before. However, I was more than ready to go try this deliciousness!
The launch was from 6-8pm. After I was done teaching at 6.30pm, I drove there and I was surprised how packed it was!! I couldn't find a place to park, but lucky for me, my car is tiny and the helpful valet guy found a stop for Grigino, my mini's name!
As I walked in, I realized, it wasn't as busy as I expected... i was looking at the wrong room lol then I see my friend Erica waving at me, and I headed towards the back room. Holy cow! SOOOO busy it was great! I hadn't seen so many vegans since I changed my diet, February of this year! It made me super excited! I connected with beautiful souls and saw a few friends there. It was great!
Alright, let's talk about the menu! I wasn't able to try them all, since I got there an hour after it started, BUT let me tell you, about the ones I did try!
- Tomato bread... who doesn't like bread? Haha it reminded me of Bruschetta, the tomatoes melted in my mouth and the bread was crunchy enough to add texture to every bite.
- Artichoke toast... so I saw it and the first thing I thought was... I'm gonna have some issues eating this thing lol however I didn't. I love me some artichoke AND bread! So best of both worlds! I did take a picture, however I didn't realized it was blurry, until I saw the pics before I started writing the blog ... wah wah wah haha
- Firefly Fries... YES PLEASE! ALL DAY LONG!!! They don't need a description, let's be honest!
- Lentil stuffed piquillo peppers ... such a beautiful plate! I had a hard time trying to eat it lol might've been because I didn't have a knife or perhaps I was just being a baby lol nonetheless... totally delish!
- Ok... my favorite part of ANY meal: #Dessert ! Apple and cherry empanadas! Let me just say, that I wish I had eaten more of these! Haha BOMB! in my opinion, enough said! (... call Ed! Lol if you live in Vegas, you know what I am talking about )
Greatest thing about it... free sangria and mojitos! Thank YOU Lord ! Haha
I had so much fun mingling, talking to friends, making new friends and most importantly, my heart and soul where so happy to see how some restaurants are catering for the vegan community as well!
Sat Nam and Namaste!
