Bjonda has been transformed into Firefly Urban Bar &
Grill. Fortunately, some of the changes are only superficial. Talented
chef Ryan Whitman remains and the Louis XVI chairs are still in place.
The seductively intimate room to the side of the lounge has also stayed
the same. But tabletops once covered with linens are now wooden planks,
and a flat-panel television intrudes upon the lounge. Entrees found in a menu section titled "Fire" are prepared in the new wood smoker and grill. You'll find assorted meats, seafood and
grilled vegetables, including shrimp, leg of lamb, adobo pork, beef
brisket and even pineapple jerk chicken. Each is offered with a
wide variety of sauces, nearly 20 in all. You'll also pick two side dishes. The skin-on, garlic,
chive mashed potatoes are good and the creamy coleslaw is a natural
with the beef brisket. Bill's drunken beans would be great at a picnic,
but the apple-smoked collard greens are merely adequate.
