We're seeing so many excellent new restaurants in the area that it's hard not to have our heads spinning a la Linda Blair in The Exorcist. I had the occasion to check out Firefly last night, which has escaped our reviewers' radar so far. It's a true Asian fusion, drawing on cuisines from Thailand to Korea, not in individual "greatest hits" style, but pulling elements of each cuisine and combining them anew. Everything is served family style, and our server was blessfully knowledgable both about the food and the sake. The hands-down winner on our table was - what a surprise - lemongrass tofu. Even the anti-toad-food crowd might be persuaded by this dish. The tofu was sliced and crisped, then mixed with soy-etc.-sauteed onions, minced shiitakes and whole red peppers (don't eat them) that mingled hot, sweet and savory. Fried pot stickers with soy-ginger dipping sauce also ranked high, as did the Peking-style duck rice-paper wraps, or rolls as they're called here. Firefly is just south of Belt Line on Midway, and its decor conjures up the brooding side of tiki modern, but it's pleasant and cozy. |
