I was visiting Eureka and decided to check this place out. So glad I was able to try this restaurant and the delicious food they serve. My wife and I ordered the Italian Mac and cheese, beef bolognese, seafood soup (almost like a cioppino) of the day , and mushroom cobbler. All dishes were amazing and so flavorful. It was hard to pick a favorite but the beef bolognese and soup stood out to me. Our servers were so delightful and incredibly friendly. The ambience is great too; lively and homey. If I am back in town this is the first place I am coming back to. I wish I had this exact restaurant in my area! read more

This lace is so lovely! Quaint and cozy Food was delicious. Started with the calamari tender and succulent with a garlic forward sauce Ordered a glass of on Nebbiolo fantastic!! Shared a Caesar salad and the meatballs.. yum! Service was attentive and friendly It was awesome to find this lace to share with my special friend read more

I had a lovely and filling dinner here! The mushroom cobbler was delicious. Reminded me of a cream of mushroom soup topped with crispy bread crumbs. The stuffed portobello mushroom was hearty and I loved the fried egg addition on top. The complimentary house made bread was incredible. I tried stopping myself from getting too full of it but the texture was perfectly bouncy and soft, I devoured it. I had a bite of my friends Italian sausage pizza, which I thought was too salty for my taste. Love that they highlight and feature so many mushrooms. Would recommend checking this place out for any fellow mushroom lovers out there! read more

The restaurant is cozy and small inside, though it's not located in the best area of Eureka. The highlight of our meal was definitely the grilled oysters -- they were excellent. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't stand out, and the service was lacking despite there seeming to be plenty of staff working. Our biggest concern was the bathroom setup. To get to the restroom, guests have to walk directly through the kitchen area, and people waiting were also standing in the kitchen. It didn't feel very sanitary or well organized. Overall, we were disappointed and wouldn't return. read more

First of all, I just wanna start with that mushroom cobbler was a star of the night at our table of nine. We are still talking about it the day after. The apple tart tartin was like an apple pie with an extra dash of everything. It brought me back to Christmas in the 90s with my family. The fresh whipped cream was light and airy. Staff was exceptional. I don't think a single detail was missed. They had an alternate menu for kids and people looking for something simple. It looks like a cute little café on Italy. Clean bathroom. Definitely book a reservation or you're gonna be waiting a few hours. My dinner party was arguing if it was the best restaurant in Humboldt. I will definitely be back and be ordering takeout soon. read more

Brick & Fire Bistro is a small restaurant found in the heart of Eureka, CA. This little restaurant is a powerhouse when it comes to making hearty and Smokey foods while providing excellent service. I recommend reserving as there are very limited seats and they are busy. Every staff member was very nice and they were always checking in on my table. We started with a Brie dish that had fire melted Brie cheese wedges, toasted slices of bread, and asparagus. The brie was smooth and Smokey as I combined it with the toasted bread. I'm not much of a fan of asparagus, but I found myself going back for more. Don't forget to eat the rind of the Brie as well ;). For my drink I had the homemade ginger ale and it was very refreshing. They offer free homemade bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I'm a huge fan of olive oil and unfortunately most places don't have great olive oil, but this one hit the spot. They refilled our bread as well at our request. The bread was nice and soft while packed with a garlic flavor that wasn't overpowering. For my main dish, l ordered a medium rare Kobe Fettina Steak. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was so tender and juicy and paired very nicely with the sauce as it fell apart in my mouth. The salad was a nice little palate cleanser and fresh. The au gratin was a great way to wrap up the dish as the toasted layer of cheese brought the potatoes together with packed flavor. Overall, I have no complaints and I was extremely happy with my experience. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. My partner had the same reaction with her dish as well. We will definitely plan to come back sometime in the future. read more

Food was great. Service was great. We had the lamb shank and the steak. The wine pairings were perfect. Definitely the gem of the town!

My partner and I came here on a Sunday evening for date night. We have heard great things about Brick and Fire so we were excited to try! Great wine pairing recommendations, great music, cozy dark environment. The restaurant is small so a reservation would be best. For an appetizer we got the Margherita pizza which was so yummy. For entrees, I got the gnocchi dish and my partner got the steak. Perfect medium rare! Lastly, for dessert I had a strawberry black paper sorbet with crumbly lemon cookies. My partner had a dark chocolate crème brûlée. Of course it was delicious. Our server was also amazing, knowledgeable, and attentive, though we didn't catch his name. Will be recommending to everyone and be back again! read more

We came here based on the yelp rating and while it's not 4.5 stars, it's a solid 3.9 or so. The portions are quite generous. We enjoyed the Caesar salad (interesting with the poached egg on top!), the cauliflower, and the soppressatta pizza. The cauliflower was a little overdone but tasty. The pizza was pretty good - crust could have been a tad better but definitely pretty good. The bread they serve is homemade and was good. Oh, we also tried the truffles, which were yummy and very generously sized. We had leftovers! The service was very nice. Alison was our server and she was great! The ambiance is lovely- welcoming, warm, and very pretty. read more

Quality/Quantity - Complimentary Bread - This was so good. Baked in house...? Anyways, I try to NOT eat too much bread to NOT spoil my meal, but I did ask for seconds... Polenta Lasagna - My wife said it was good. Not sure if I even got a bite to try? Local Albacore Tuna and Prawn Risotto - I am NOT usually a risotto person, but this sounded good. And it did not fail. The shrimp took a little effort to eat, but all the flavors and textures were spot on. And of course, I paired my dish with a sauvignon blanc. This is probably one of the nicer/fine dining restaurants in Eureka. Atmosphere - Very small location. Love their brick oven. Also appreciated the fire decor outside, see pictures. Indoor and 2 tables outdoor seating. Indoor table or bar seating. Open 6 days a week from 5pm to 8:30pm ish, closed Tuesdays. See picture. Due to the age of the building, the bathroom is past the kitchen. Felt like I was in SF... The bathroom was clean and organized. Oh, and they had extremely HOT water, see picture of the warning. Thank you. Street parking, not an issue. Service - Good. I did not make reservations (I recommend that you make reservations as this is a very small and popular business!), but we only had to wait approximately 10 minutes for a table. The wait staff was good, and the kitchen team was very accommodating. Price - $66 + tip. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 2010. If we come back to Eureka, we will be regular customers. But next time, we will make reservations. read more

Cool ambiance, very friendly wait staff, and the food was great! The starters were amazing. We got the baked brie and mushroom cobbler. Both were amazing. I'm not even a big fan of brie cheese but this was perfect. The mushroom cobbler was a savory little dish that was good to the last bite. After this a grilled ceasar salad arrived to the table and devoured. The entrees came next and both were very tasty. The flank steak has great flavor and came with potatoes au gratin. The potatoes had a nice cheese layer baked on top. The other entree was the mac and cheese. It was rich and garlicky. We were very satisfied with our visit. read more

Excellent local bistro. Wonderful food, quaint ambience, and friendly staff. Couldn't recommend this restaurant more, it is definitely the best in town. read more

Cannot believe we had not found this restaurant previously. Absolutely amazing food and over the top gluten free options! We were blown away by the service as well as the beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. We will 100% be back! read more

We arrived during opening (as usual) on the 4th of July. I made sure we had reservations coming in Eureka. This was during the heatwave that NorCal was experiencing, so the open flames of the brick oven didn't ease our discomfort from the heat. But, this kiln did cook our food to perfection, so we beared the warmth emanating from it. The place was intimate. Probably not a restaurant for a large group. The Venetian furnishing & photos and the menu were certainly meant for dates and not a family with small kids dinner. We started our supper with glasses of vino. My wife had the moscato while I sipped through my red blend. The apps became my meal as I was pretty sure my wife won't be able to finish her's. The Roasted Local Oysters ($20 for 6) and Wagyu Carpaccio were really good. The baked mollusks were a delight as I could still taste the freshness of these Humboldt kumamotos as well as savor the garnishment. My wife picked her Tarragon Pecan Brie & Pesto Pizza and our son, opted for the B&F Italian Mac n Cheese. The main courses were excellent as well. The teen didn't want to share his plate but we snucked in a bite or two. We shared the Peach Shortcake Crisp for dessert. The filling and crumble were the highlights of this sweet treat. The place was literally packed 15 minutes from the 5pm opening and the crew, though busy with the other tables, were still attentive to us. Our server was even able to accommodate a photo request. Do try Brick & Fire (a Bistro) when in the Humboldt County for a great Mediterranean cuisine. read more

Need to look at their website for their menu changes daily. Everything we ordered was delicious it kept getting better the apple tart was amazing read more

Unexpected delight in Eureka. We are passing through the area and found this on Yelp. Had the oysters (best ever), pear fig salad (tasty with plenty for two to share) and the polenta lasagna (delicious). Everything was beautifully presented. Nice wine selection. Finished off with tiramisu which also hit the mark. Get there right when they open (5 pm) or probably best to make a reservation--the place was hopping on a Wednesday early evening. Two thumbs up. read more

Wonderful in every way! Our server was very professional & friendly, someone you'd expect in a fine dining experience. The indoor space is small but comfortable and not too loud. We shared two appetizers and a pizza, taking half the pizza home. My taste buds were satisfied and I didn't over eat. Perfect! Reservations recommended. read more

The steak was THE best steak my wife and I had ever had, locally. It was so flavorful and the sauce on the side was delightful! A1 job, guys! read more

The mushroom tart appetizer was small, but yummy. We tried the spicy sausage pizza, which was good. The best was the house-made bread, which was taken up on their bread offer and used the tableside balsamic and olive oil. Make a reservation if you can; they were turning people away on a Saturday evening. Small, intimate, but very noisy. You need to walk through the kitchen to get to the one bathroom in the back. read more

Great restaurant, fish and steak were amazing! By far best restaurant i've been to in Eureka. The service was also very nice and welcoming!

Found this place on Yelp and it was highly rated. I had the homemade Italian sausage pizza and my wife had the steelhead trout. It was one of the best meals we had on the trip. It's a small neighborhood bistro. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found Brick & Fire Bistro tucked into a neighborhood. Unforgettable experience with elote soup and polenta lasagna at the restaurant with great service. I took the chocolate cheesecake to go and it didn't disappoint. I'm looking forward to next visit to north coast. Definitely recommend reservations. I got lucky as a single walk-in on a busy Wednesday night. read more

We tried to come to this restaurant on a Tuesday night and it was fully booked so we made a reservation for Thursday night. We order two salads and two pizzas. We wanted the beet salad but they were out of it for the evening so they suggested the peach salad instead and I wasn't disappointed! The salad had fresh, thinly sliced peaches and strawberries, pitted olives and an aioli dressing that complimented the flavors really nicely. The ceasar salad was okay, nothing spectacular but the pizzas were both yummy, we ordered the house made Italian sausage pizza and a Tuscan sopresetta & honey pizza with the brick oven roasted veggies. Delicious... read more

This is a five star every day of the week. If I lived here, I am afraid I would be a regular. We ordered the steelhead trout and the Mac and cheese. Both entrees were exceptional! The wine was excellent and the desserts were great. We had the crème brûlée and the dark chocolate truffles. So good!! The restaurant is a nice size with a great ambiance. Staff is helpful and courteous which really makes you feel like they are glad you came in. From the tablecloths on the tables to the fresh menu, this is a place to visit. read more

We came here for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. It's a small place, but it wasn't jam packed full of tables. I had the chicken. It was really good. The sauce under it made the dish. The other people in my group also enjoyed their meals. The dessert was delicious as well. read more

Brick & Fire is a hidden gem! It is small and cozy, but big on personality! The menu combines fresh ingredients with innovative preparation to create meals that are next level. Add thoughtful wine pairings and you're in for a truly enjoyable dining experience. We enjoyed the grilled Caesar salad, braised greens, and sausage pizza. read more

This is our go-to spot for a romantic date night. It's an intimate space, so you need to call in a reservation - but for an early dinner in the middle of the week, we've had success calling in the night of. The food is delicious and beautiful, the wine menu is perfect, the lighting is low and the service & ambiance make you feel like you're somewhere special - because you are! :) read more

OMG. If I lived here. I would be a regular. They have a main seating area that's more lively and fancier. Then they have a wine bar that's next door (completely separate but still the same establishment). I went on a Friday night as one. I thought I could just sit at the bar in the main building but that was reserved. Apparently this is a popular place to celebrate or just have a nice date night. They were able to accommodate me at the side bar/restaurant. I got there as soon as they opened but I bet even the side bar gets busy. I had the roasted kumamotos and a delicious glass of chenin blanc to begin. I ordered three oysters because I planned on ordering more food. OMG, SOOOOO GOOD. I ended up ordering more, I literally had to. It's wine or beer here, but the voices are top notch. Not pretentious, just well priced quality. As an appetizer, I order the stuffed calamari. This is not traditional calamari in how Americans think of calamari. They were whole baby squid, stuffed and grilled. The stuffing is shrimp and leeks and breadcrumbs. Though it was delicious, the stuffing was ground to a pulp and it would have been nice to have the texture of just a few chopped shrimp. The sauce they were on, was super yummy (I really don't know what it was). Would definitely order again. I took home the polenta lasagna which was amazing and a chocolate cheesecake. Everything including my service from Camas out 12 out of 10. I will visit every time I'm in Eureka. Absolutely amazing!!!! read more

This place is small but cozy. We ordered a pizza for our daughters, and they loved it. My husband enjoyed the trout and I had The Mac and cheese. The portions are quite generous. The only drawback is that you need to cross the kitchen to go to the bathroom. It was a small inconvenience read more

We have been twice. Great food, fantastic service. We love the Brie, pizza, steelhead, steak, and main sides. I wish they had more to drink on the adult side. If you can't have beer or wine like me, the only drink is kombucha- which is exotic but if you're not in the mood then it's root beer. Ask them about the brick oven. We will be back. read more

Absolutely great experience. Food outstanding and service great too. This is a small place, be sure to make a reservation! Pizzas excellent, but I think most memorable thing we ordered was the broccoli and green beans w pesto. 100% will be back. read more

We arrived without a reservation and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself was a bit small but very cute. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Wine options amazing. We started with the oysters and they were tiny but very tasty. The prosciutto wrapped figs were absolutely to die for. I ordered the stuffed portobello mushroom with a linguica sausage and my bf ordered a steak. They were both cooked perfectly. One of the best parts of our trip to Eureka. read more

We love LoVe LOVE Brick & Fire. Stopped in Eureka on a road trip from CA to OR and didn't have high expectations on a drizzly and cold Monday evening. However, we were blown away by the food, service and ambiance. They were busy and we happened to arrive in time for one of their last tables. Pizzas are cooked in a hot brick oven and my Fig & Pig was excellent, with a thin crisp crust and tasty toppings. The roasted stuffed portobello mushroom entree was also very good. Their wine list is more than adequate and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. I was excited to try the wild mushroom cobbler appetizer. However, the large biscuit overwhelmed this savory dish, leaving no room for the liquid. read more

Allison for the WIN! Awesome service, fabulous attitude, and just a gem. Had girls night at B&F. Everything is always good but the melted Brie appetizer and the mushroom cobbler are always hands down my fave. Oh, and the oysters. Oh, and the stuffed figs. So good! If you're in to an oaky Chardonnay the Bennet is delicious. Parking is street parking in a residential neighborhood so carpool if you can. Def make reservations. Someone give Allison a raise, she's totally a star hire. read more

We drove into Eureka on a Monday, and were surprised to find most local restaurants we checked were closed. When we found this one, and that it was child and dog, friendly, we decided to check it out! What a cool spot! It's much more trendy and upscale than we would normally visit, but still had a very welcoming and casual vibe. we sat out back in a small covered patio area behind the wine bar. The service was very friendly, and even though the food was a little more trendy than the kids were used to, we enjoyed it! The grilled Caesar salad was delicious, and the more upscale take on pizza Was great. An amazing wine and beer, selection, as well as local beers and ciders. While I probably wouldn't take my kids back, I would definitely come here on a date night or girls night out. Worth your time to check it out! read more

Brick & Fire Bistro - Back patio with fire heater - Mediterranean Near Me - Eureka, California

I lived in Eureka for 10 years and this was one of my favorite restaurants. I recently had to go back to the area after being gone for 3 years for some business, and I made sure to meet friends here for dinner... So glad it hasn't changed. You can get there early and sit at the small bar... order a wine. The bartenders know their wines and can recommend whatever you're in the mood for. Their monthly offering is on the big chalk board as you walk in. While you sip your pinot, or cab, or whatever color you're drinking, you can watch orders being placed into the large wood-burning stove. FYI - for an even closer view you can go to the bathroom which is through the kitchen. Don't worry, the cooks and waiters will announce your passing through as you make your way to the back of the kitchen. Then come the appetizers. Oysters are always a good bet as they're fresh and locally sourced. I remember when the stuffed calamari was an occasional item, and I'm so glad to see it's part of the regular menu now... and, it's still as good as ever... so many flavors and textures and richness to it. And the wild mushroom cobbler... yum...! Then the good stuff... is this a Fig and Pig pizza kinda night, or do I want something more hearty like the lamb on offerings...? This time I chose the lamb which was succulent and filling and so good. My friend went with the Fig and Pig. Excellent choice...! I had to rest and digest for a bit, so I wandered "2 Doors Down" to their winebar for a second glass of wine and to ponder dessert. About that time another friend arrived and split a dreamy creme brûlée with me. It definitely was a great homecoming... good food, good friends... just like old times... read more

We're vacationing in the Eureka area & were hungry for something Italian. My husband saw the good reviews for this place so we decided to try it- boy, are we glad we did! From the cozy, intimate dining area, to the friendly service staff & the amazing food, it's a 5-star review from us! We were seated at the bar & enjoyed watching the fire in the brick oven & the "pizza guy" making the pizzas & managing the other baked dishes going in the oven. For dinner, we ordered one of the brick oven fired pizzas. We had the house made Italian sausage pizza- the crust was some of the best pizza crust I've eaten. It was topped with Italian pork sausage, caramelized onions, Kalamata olives and a delicious red sauce. I paired mine with a Redwood Curtain golden ale. After dinner, my husband somehow had room for homemade bread pudding. He shared a bite with me & it was so good! I had a cherry-pomegranate sorbet served with two house made cookies. I tell you, if we lived here, we would be regulars! read more

I have so much to say about just how good my experience was with my wife here at this restaurant. We came in at a moderately busy time, with no reservation (which I do not recommend, we just didn't know how quaint the restaurant was). But they still accommodated us with a table. The service was amazing, our waiter took our whole order with no note pad, and our food came out perfect, tasting amazing. I never leave a tip above 20% but brick and fire will now and forever get 30% or more from me for now on. They deserve a Michelin star. read more
