Mussels ( with pancetta) not pescatarian
Lisa N.

Wow! Simply excellent. Everything we had from the app, salad, soup, entree and dessert! Service was great and very attentive. Ambiance is cozy, a bit on the loud side but you're still able to hear the conversation at your table. I'll be back.

I'm glad I finally got to check this place out, as I've been curious about it for some time. This place is swanky and sophisticated, and a nice addition to the Park Ridge restaurant scene. I came to meet some folks and we sat at the bar. They have an extensive beverage program here, including mocktails, and that's what I settled on. I got one called Strawberry-Basil something, and it was so good. The strawberry-basil shrub was a key ingredient, and I don't get to a lot of places that use a shrub in their drinks. There was definitely a STRONG vinegar taste but for me, that was great. I also ordered a pasta dish, orecchiette and sausage with peas and a sweet, creamy sauce. Orecchiette and sausage are such a classic combo and I hadn't had this sauce before; it was a pleasant dish and was perfectly al dente. Service was good for the bar area. There's parking around, both in the lot right outside and the public parking lot below. And then of course there's the lots by the library and whatnot, so you should be able to find something.

My husband and I recently visited fire+wine with our friends, and I had been looking forward to this night for a long time. I had always wanted to try the Glen Ellyn location, but never made it there, so once the Park Ridge location opened, it immediately went on my list. It absolutely lived up to the hype. We made a reservation ahead of time, which was a great decision because the restaurant was packed when we arrived, even on a weeknight. The dining room is dimly lit, stylish, and warm, creating a calming and relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Our waiter was fantastic. Since none of us had been there before, he walked us through the menu with helpful and enthusiastic recommendations. He was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. As a group of four, we ordered two appetizers and truly indulged. The arancini ($12) came as mini crispy bites that were perfectly golden and satisfying. We also ordered the black pepper shrimp ($16) and for my husband and I, it definitely stole the show. They were covered in a spicy creole sauce that was unbelievably flavorful. I could have easily eaten several plates of them. I highly recommend ordering this dish. For my entree, I chose the vodka pasta for ($21). It had a perfect texture and balanced flavor. It also came with two pieces of garlic bread, which were a great bonus. My friend ordered the same pasta but added blackened chicken and loved it as well. We happened to visit on half-price pasta night, so we only paid about ten dollars each for our dishes, which made it even more of a win. Both men ordered the blackened pork chop ($29). It is a large 12-ounce chop normally served with fingerling potatoes, broccolini, and herb butter, but my husband ordered it with a side of spinach instead of the potatoes. He was in heaven and said he would have gladly eaten a second plate, not because he was still hungry, but because it was that good. He only complained jokingly that our friend's pork chop was bigger than his. For dessert, my husband and I ordered the triple-layer chocolate cake ($11). It was HUGE and very rich, so I couldn't eat a lot of it, so my friend's husband ate most of it with my husband. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and chocolately, but for me personally, it was too much. My friend and her husband shared the butterscotch budino ($11), which I did not try, but they loved. We left full and happy. Fire+wine is definitely a new favorite, and we cannot wait to return. My friend even returned with other friends a few days later because she enjoyed it so much!

Fire and Wine is one of the best spots in Park Ridge for a fresh, high quality meal. Everything is made to order, and you can truly taste the difference. The food is phenomenal and beautifully prepared every time. The service is warm, attentive, and makes the whole experience even better. It is the kind of place that takes pride in doing things right, and that fresh made approach makes all the difference. We were celebrating a birthday and our server made the experience special!

Shrimp & calamari, whipped ricotta & honeycomb and arancini.
Salena C.

Fire & Wine is such a beautiful place, complete with a large outdoor patio to enjoy on a sunny (or rainy!) day. The wine list is large, but the northern lights cocktail caught my eye and it was a 10/10. I love a good elderflower detail! We shared a few apps- arancini, ricotta & honeycomb dip, and shrimp & calamari- and honestly, everything was super delicious. The shrimp and calamari had a few assorted tempura items as well, such as lemon wedges, basil leaves, and hot peppers, and the assortment was so unique and perfect! We were celebrating a birthday, and they did bring out complimentary gelato with a candle (sans singing, which we appreciated!). Tess was such a personable server, and the GM checked in as well, so it was a great experience! We would happily return! :)

Nice cosy restaurant in Park Ridge. The staff are very friendly. The menu has something for everyone. They have a lovely bar area. I have had brunch here. They have a nice outdoor patio. They take reservations.

This is the absolute best outdoor patio in the suburbs! Views over Park Ridge like you won't get from any other patio in the area. It all comes together; the food, the service and the terrific patio!

Fire + Wine has officially opened their second location in the heart of downtown Park Ridge. The space continues the rustic feel of their Glen Ellyn location with some nice modern adds. The inside has a very large bar, multiple groupings and types of seating, an enclosed patio, and open kitchen. It was easy to make a reservation online and we were sat with ease. The menu is a duplicate to their other location offering a mix of appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta, and entrees. They have a vast selection of wines and seasonal/rotating cocktail list. We started with the Ricotta + Honeycomb app that is served with lightly toasted bread. It's a favorite of ours and our server offered more bread free of charge. For entrees, I got the Vodka Pasta and my husband got the Rigatoni Bolognese. The pasta is clearly made fresh, sauces delicious, and paired with the perfect amount of meat. For cocktails, I got the Whiskey in a Teacup and he the Six Seeds. We both enjoyed the Six Seeds most but felt both were unique in the sense that we hadn't tried something like them before. Angela our server was very kind, took good care of us, and made great suggestions. The bussers were a bit too quick in trying to clear our plates but service was great otherwise. The location is having some difficulties with the fire alarm going off as steam rolls out of the kitchen into dining area but staff handed it gracefully! This location is still very new and working through their final hiccups. Either way, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and love to see one of our favorite Italian dinner spots expand! Tip: Mondays has half off pastas & Wednesday has half off wine!

Calamari

It was our second time at Fire + Wine - we only had drinks before at the bar inside. We went for happy hour which was 1/2 off small plates. Everything we had was delicious!!! I am surprised we haven't gone to this restaurant more often. It was amazing. Our server was very kind as well. Definitely recommended!

Lisa S.

A little expensive for drinks but the overall ambiance and quality of the food is great! It's slightly upscale and the servers are very friendly and accommodating. My group ordered a pizza, pasta, and salad so it was nice to be able to sample all of the available options while celebrating her birthday. Wine was also very good, but for the price it seemed like a small pour. I would return in the future if we happen to be nearby!

Meatball Al Forno (Appetizers Menu)

This is a rather late review, but it would be a miss if I did not share our wonderful experience planning a 25-person party at Fire & Wine Park Ridge this Summer. Organizing was a breeze. 3 weeks before my event I spoke with Nick, F+W manager, who recommended that I work with Evan because my party would be a larger group. Via email and short conversations, I was given 3 Group options, including Patio seating (with a minimum). Pre-ordering and buffet options were also offered. For my party, and considering the rainier Summer, I decided to ask for "a few clustered tables inside so my Guests can be seated and still mingle without bothering other Diners". And they delivered, seating us at a semi-enclosed area near the entrance. Everyone in my party had a blast! F+W PR is the perfect venue for a classy party, a great excuse to dress up a bit. Our server and the staff staff were very professional and accommodating. Food service was on time, every dish was genuinely appreciated by my guests -- of all ages. No complaints with our drinks either I would highly recommend F+W PR for any event. Weather permitting, consider the Patio setup, too. My food favorites from that night are: Grilled Romaine, Lamb rack (special) and Lobster Diavolo. There was also Seabass or Branzino special that night which was so good! And from another F+W PR visit, I also loved their Lobster sandwich, Ricotta honeycomb App, Meatball App, Margerita Pizza... the list goes on. F+W PR is also great for an intimate date night, a Special Ocasion, a casual snack or just a drink at the bar. Go solo, with someone, or a group -- just check reservations availability on busy nights to avoid the long wait. Just a few months in, I do believe it is an Uptown Park Ridge staple for locals and guests alike. Shoutout to F+W, Thank You for the A+ party experience!

Wow! If you're looking for a restaurant that can satisfy a group with different tastes, Patina Wine…read moreBar is an excellent choice. Their thoughtfully curated menu may be compact, but it offers a great variety--from fresh salads and wood-fired pizzas to steaks, seafood, and chicken dishes--so there's truly something for everyone.

We started with oysters (special), pear arugula salad then ordered main course- I walleye (special) and shrimp risotto. Everything was excellent.

It's very peaceful, romantic and a calm atmosphere. All of the food was delicious. The plating is so attractive! The dishes have great flavor but are healthier options. The portion sizes were perfect for what we desired. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best branzino I've ever had. The skin was crunchy and delicious. But the fish was not dry at all! There's nothing better than a juicy branzino fish and chef Jose nailed it! Matching with the sauce and beans was so much better than any other veggies or starch. The octopus was also cooked to perfection. The flavor and temperature was just right. Not too hot and such a great texture. We don't always order desserts but we had to see every course of the menu. We decided to go with a lava cake and it did not disappoint. It had that perfect contrast of hot and cold but it's served with gelato which gives it a nice touch of texture compared to standard ice cream. Chef Jose came out and introduced himself. We came in because we were enticed by a beef tartare that was on their menu in the past. We're hoping he brings it back on a special sometime soon. He said to give him a call and he'll try to accommodate whenever possible to make his customers happy. What an amazing restaurant. We cannot wait to come back and see what's new. Thank you for an amazing dinner and night!

There's board games. Coming in it wasn't that crazy. It's quieter than the other places at breakfast that are around here. There's long tables if not able to get a booth so it wasn't like we had to wait. Order at the counter in front. There's not a whole lot to choose from which makes it easier to pick stuff. It's about $5 to get a latte. The Cookie Butter Latte was as great as it sounded. It's made with cinnamon, cookie butter syrup, and espresso. There's only a few pastries.

I'm a sucker for a good coffee shop with fun flavored lattes. I'm also a sucker for cute atmospheres. So when you pair a great coffee shop with a board game cafe, how can you go wrong? Off the Wall is a cute storefront that is a branch off their establishment next door serving craft beer. I would often go to Off the Wall mid day throughout the week, and each time I go I'm shocked that it's not filled with remote workers and families. The staff are all pleasant and more than happy to provide recommendations if you feel stuck deciding what you want to order. With a variety of beverages, food, and even gluten free pastries (a win in my book!) you really can't go wrong with any choice. I always opted for coffee, and I really loved their specialty flavor this month featuring banana and caramel. The flavors aren't overpowering and aren't overly sweet, so for a coffee lover that actually likes the taste of coffee this is perfect. Their board game selection is vast and the interior of here is so cozy, I could stay for hours. Did I also mention they're wheelchair accessible? That's right - there's a wheelchair ramp and wide spacing to ensure everyone can enjoy their experience here. Can't wait to try their next fun coffee flavor!
