Bring me your solo diners, your restaurant-food-weary, your families with young children yearning for something not-too-challenging to eat.  That’s Firefly; a pleasant bakery/internet cafe by day; grown-up bistro with kid-friendly menu by night.  There’s even an entire menu section devoted to Comfort Plates.  So, while one in your party can be living it up with the crispy roasted half duckling with port wine fig glaze, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans ($28), another can be soothing a wounded spirit with a crock of tomato-and-basil soup and a grilled fontina cheese sandwich ($13).  And unlike certain other restaurants on Church Street who shall remain nameless, Firefly stays open year ‘round, for which they score extra points.

Firefly, 71 Church Street; 413.637-2700

Morning cafe & lunch: 10 - 3 Monday - Saturday
