DC is not a breakfast town, few options. Firefly was a last resort, even after reading another TripAdvisor review's warning. Sure enough, although the food was adequate, service good, we felt really gouged on the prices--$13 for two thin slices of toast for french toast (and no sides!) and over $4 for a single cup of coffee.

Great decor, nice atmosphere (though could get too loud for an intimate conversation), good wine list, great service. Food good but menu could be more extensive. Want to go back during happy hour! more
