Firefly Restaurant

The hubby and I happened in around 8 on half price sushi night.  We ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table.  We both had the Black Star Burger.  The food was good but the service was spotty.  It seemed like our table wasn't anywhere near our waiter's other tables and he forgot us.  I'd be willing to try it again.

I'm visiting Michigan from Dallas, TX. My family is staying in Midland but drove up to Traverse City for a few days. We are all big sushi lovers so we decided to go to Firefly.

Pros: Ladies Night. We went tonight (Wednesday) and they had some pretty great discounts for the ladies. I'm not 21...almost. You can imagine how happy I was to order an iced tea. On ladies night of all nights! hmph.

The seared ahi was also perfect.

Cons: WHAT is up with the sushi!? It tastes fine but its like 90% rice with a teensy weensy bit of the actual fish in the middle. I'm talking like, you're going to need to bring your magnifying glass. I dont want to pay $12 for rice wrapped in sea weed!

I have a couple favorites at Firefly, but because of one thing, I wont be back. I just have to say.....raising a price, fine. It is a norm in this biz. But what is NOT good for business is to not only raise a price by $3, but to shrink the portion by half. I used to come in about 3 times a month and order the tuna app witht he veggies. I thought it was a great value....and I didnt even blink when the price went up, but I was totally shocked to see the new presentation some to the table. The veggies were now a garnish, and I think the tuna shrunk. It really is not a good idea to get into doing that. I wont be back because of it.
