While visiting from out of town, I decided to check out Fire + Wine—located just outside of Chicago. Making a reservation online was quick and easy, and since I was dining solo, I opted to sit at the bar.

Service started off well. I was promptly greeted by the bartenders and handed a menu with some water. I ordered the Northern Lights cocktail, which was well-balanced, refreshing, and definitely a highlight. However, after my drink arrived, it took over 20 minutes before anyone followed up to ask if I wanted to order food, which was a bit frustrating.

Once I did get to order, I went with the diver scallops. They were impressively large, seared nicely, and paired well with the succotash—fresh and flavorful. Overall, Fire + Wine is a solid option if you’re looking for a nice meal without heading into the city. I’d come back, but hope for more attentive service next time.

I will say right off that I am not someone who usually dines in nicer places. I like mom and pop diner sort of places and I don’t drink wine. I was given a generous gift card so three of us went to dinner after going to a play downtown. The only reservations we were able to get was at 5:45 and the place was packed even then and got progressively more crowded. Our dinner took about two hours and on the way out we overheard that they were running 30 to 40 minutes behind on reservations. The food was yummy. Both of our appetizers were very good and our three meals were delicious. One person in our party drank they had a cocktail and then a wine and said they were both good. We also got two desserts. The tables are very close together and we landed up pretty much having to talk to the people on the right and left of us because you bumped the table when you try to leave or enter. Plus, you’re just sitting right next to them. It was very loud! The music and the people to the point that it was at times challenging to have a conversation across the table. I was facing a large TV that had I think golf stuff but also had commercials and at one point had a very long ASPCA commercial with abused animals. It was hard to ignore while you’re trying to eat. Our server was sweet but our drinks were empty for long periods of time-Including our water. I had an IBC root beer and in the two hours was never asked if I wanted another one. We twice had to ask for more water. I get they were busy. I am sure this is a lot of people‘s cup of tea as they say, but it wasn’t mine. We spent $230.

This was the first time trying brunch at Fire & Wine and it was delicious. Portions were hearty and brunch cocktails hit the spot. We got the farmers omelet and french toast to share. Well prepared and great flavors! Mel was our server and awesome as always. Brunch vibe was relaxed, quiet and a great option if you’re looking for time out with other adults. There was a larger party of all women that looked like they were celebrating a special occasion and having a great time!

We heard Fire & Wine got a new chef last year so we dropped in around 6:00 PM without reservations on Friday night to see if we could get in. They had a high top table available in the bar area so we grabbed it. The menu options are great and it took a while to narrow down our choices. Melly, our server brought two wine options for my wife to try, which was a really helpful offer. I ordered an old fashioned and my better half ordered a glass of Bordeaux. My cocktail was excellent ($15) and the Bordeaux was rich and full bodied (also $15). We ordered the calamari appetizer which was fresh, hot and lemony. It came with deep fried lemon slices and sliced peppers, and a rich aoli sauce. We liked that it was a small plate with about 15 calamari so it wasn’t too much food (often happens with calamari. I ordered the Lobster Fra Diavlo and it was much better than I expected. Lots of whole lobster chunks and a perfect spice ($38). I switched out the penn for linguine noodles and they happily accommodated. My wife love vodka pasta and added chicken, which was also a treat ($21). The vodka sauce was rich and wonderful. Both entrees came with a delicious, buttery French bread that complemented both meals. Melly timed our courses well, giving us plenty of time to relax with our drinks before the food came, so we didn’t feel rushed, which happens a lot. To complete the meal we ordered the triple chocolate cake which was very large (so we took half home). The ambiance was nice and business was hopping. We’re so glad we tried Fire & Wine again! We’ll definitely return with friends. We spent approximately $200 including a well deserved tip. I highly recommend this place!
