Firefly

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Gulf Coast Table with Serious Credentials

Firefly sits on Richard Jackson Boulevard in Panama City Beach, Florida, holding its own as one of the area's most recognized dining destinations. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2008 — a distinction that signals not just a thoughtful wine list, but a kitchen and front-of-house operation serious enough to match it.

Seafood and Steakhouse, Done with Care

The menu at Firefly draws from two of the most satisfying traditions in American dining: fresh seafood and prime steakhouse cuts. On the Gulf Coast, that combination carries particular weight — the proximity to the water means seafood isn't an afterthought, and Firefly's recognition suggests the kitchen treats it accordingly. Whether you come for the catch or the cut, the restaurant delivers an experience that rises above the casual beach-town norm.

Worth Knowing Before You Go

Firefly is open for dinner and offers delivery for those evenings when the beach has other plans. The Wine Spectator recognition makes it a natural choice for guests who want a bottle worth opening alongside their meal — the kind of list curated with enough range to complement both a delicate Gulf fish and a well-aged steak.
