My husband and I were on a road trip and staying in Eureka for the night and decided to eat here for dinner, which also happened to fall on Father's Day. The place was pretty busy at 8pm and we sat outside since we had our pup with us. I ordered 3 oysters as an app. I had just read that Humboldt Bay provided a large percentage of the oysters consumed in CA and NV so figured I should order some since we're so close to the source! I was surprised when I slurped it down and it was warm but they were delicious and the sauce on top was very flavorful. (That was my fault for not reading the description well enough; I'm just accustomed to eating oysters chilled) For entree's, I went with the Polenta Veghie lasagna and my husband ordered the Italian Mac n cheese. Both dishes were very good and very filling. I loved the crust of the polenta and the eggplant and cheese filling was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I was impressed with the coziness and warmth of the interior. Great spot for dinner, I'm glad I chose this restaurant! read more

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

Ambiance was nice. The appetizers were really good, we had oysters and figs. Entrees were mostly good but the steak was a bad cut. Super chewy. The potato gratin and braised greens were delicious. The biggest impediment to our experience was the service. The server that we had . Seemed really distracted and wasn't attentive. "She didn't come back to pour our wine or ask if everything was ok. Felt like she wanted us out of there too soon. read more

We arrived at 5pm and were seated in what they termed their "alternate" dining room, a separate space away from the main dining room. It was quiet and cozy and decorated nicely. Our server was excellent. She coursed out our meal perfectly. Loved the roasted fava beans! The stroganoff was outstanding with a terrific variety of mushrooms and Kobe beef. Hubby loved his flap cut steak and au gratin potatoes. We will def return. 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

This is the trifecta--food, service and ambience are all a 10. We are visiting Eureka from Fresno. Friends at home, critics on the internet and our Airbnb host, Josh, all recommended Brick and Fire. The space is small, so it makes sense one needs to reserve a spot. It is so warm in all ways--the walls are a warm brick color, soft drapes that hide awkward pipes, millions of healthy plants in a clerestory window, paintings, and the warmth of lots of bodies and good food roasting in the brick oven. Smells like heaven the moment you enter. We shared a cup of roasted red pepper and corn soap with bucatini pasta. Rich, tastes like summer on the verge of harvest. Shared oven baked polenta lasagna--layers of crispy cheesy polenta and velvety roasted summer veggies in a rich tomato sauce. Shared a farmers market pizza and a huge bowl of garlicky greens. Everything was well prepared, fresh and savory. We sopped up every last bit with their home baked bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We were so completely satisfied we were unable to order dessert. But enjoyed every last drop of our Green and Red 2022 Chiles Canyon Zinfandel. We had initially planned on dining out our last night on vacation, tomorrow night, but any other dinner will be a disappointment by comparison. We will happily eat leftovers tubeside at our airbnb. I cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Short wait! Great food! No kids menu, but very accommodating just ask what they can do! Very cute spot! Worth waiting and the price! read more

Brick & Fire Bistro - Kids Mac - Mediterranean Near Me - Eureka, California

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

In March 2, 2017 I left a good review for Brick & Fire Bistro. Unfortunately tonight, July 24, 2026 was a disappointing. I ate with friends and we all agreed the food was not so good. Hopefully it was just a one-off night. read more

This was the first time that we went to this restaurant (was for our 55th wedding anniversary) and all the food and drink we selected was delicious! I had the polenta lasagna and went crazy over it (never even considered something like that before). The sauce was incredible....I've been searching sauce recipes since and the polenta instead of noodles was so clever and really good! I can't wait to go back to this place and try some of their other food choices! read more

We dined there last month and had an absolutely delicious dinner! Our server Gabby was kind did not rush us and gave wonderful recommendations. The mushroom cobbler is delicious and so unique. The polenta lasagna is also unlike anything we've had at any other restaurant. The cheesecake and tiramisu desserts were fabulous as well. We hope to dine in there again the next time we are in town! 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

We were on our way back from a road trip passing through town and checked yelp and found this spot! They were busy and still got us seated without a reservation. Great service, delicious food and great wine. Highly recommend the polenta lasagna! read more

Food is like an LA restaurant. Creative menu with local specials. Great portions, hipsters make for interesting people watching. A jewel in the crown of Eureka read more

Great service and good prices. The mac and cheese was fantastic and the polenta lasagna was out of this world.

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

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

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

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

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 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

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!

Great service great food! The mushroom cobbler and Cesar salad are amazing! Be sure to make a reservation it gets busy.

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 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
