Almost twenty years after the opening of its first location on Paradise Rd, Firefly Tapas Kitchen + Bar is planning to open a third location in 2023, in northwest Las Vegas, according to recent coverage in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The restaurant is owned by Chef John Simmons and Tabitha Simmons, the team behind plant-based restaurant Graze Kitchen, which What Now Las Vegas reported on last September, and which opened at the end of last year. What Now Las Vegas was unable to reach a representative of Firefly for comment on the news of its third location.
Firefly offers a considerable selection of small plates in categories that include Brunch, Chilled Tapas, Hot Tapas, Seafood Tapas and more. Meat and Poultry Tapas include Ham & Cheese Croquetas, Chicken Tinga Empanadas, and Albondigas (meatballs in sherry tomato sauce, parmesan). A vegetarian menu features cold tapas like Apple and Manchego Salad, hot tapas like Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Stuffed Peppers, and vegetarian Paella.
Paella is also on offer in Chicken & Mushroom, Seafood, and Mixed Varieties. Chef John Simmons is a bit of an expert in this regard: as the Review-Journal reports, the chef is leading a virtual paella class on March 27, in celebration of National Paella Day.
The menu closes off with a selection of desserts: Caramel Flan, Churros, Chocolate Tres Lechesa and more.
The specific location for the northwest Las Vegas Firefly has not yet been announced.
