Our server Josh was great! Food came out ~10 minutes after we ordered it, super fast!! It was the freshest tasting food I've had in a very long time. You can definitely tell they make everything themselves. Dessert was delicious and plated beautifully. Enjoyed everything about our visit and will definitely be back! :) read more

Fire + Wine - Chocolate brownie, white wine cake - Bars Near Me - St. Charles, Illinois

We love the atmosphere at Fire and Wine. The bar is great and service was fantastic. We are excited about our new neighborhood hang out.

I usually only write Yelp reviews for our international travel, but my wife and I have started making Fire + Wine our Friday happy hour tradition, and it's quickly become one of our favorite spots in St. Charles. The happy hour is an outstanding value, with half-price small plates and $8 glasses of wine. We've tried several items, but we keep coming back for the steak bruschetta, black pepper shrimp, and crab cake. Every one of them is consistently delicious. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the service. The bartenders make the place feel welcoming and comfortable. Lauren, Ben, and Joe have all taken great care of us and make it easy to relax after a long week. Lauren, in particular, always remembers us, is friendly, attentive, and makes everyone at the bar feel like a regular. You can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of her guests. If you're looking for a great happy hour with excellent food, fair prices, and a staff that makes you want to return, Fire + Wine is well worth a visit. read more

We wanted to try the new Fire & Wine in St. Charles, it was a Friday early evening, and the place was packed, even the parking lot was almost full, there are still some restaurants waiting to be opened, so I think parking will be a problem once the other restaurants are opened. The restaurant decor is nice, but it was very loud, you have to really speak up to hear each other. The service was good, we got our table real quick as we had an reservation, and the waiter was nice and attentive, that's why I gave it one more star because the food was really disappointing: my friend ordered the French Onion Soup and Mushroom Ravioli, and I had the Apple Walnut Salad and the Grouper special. My friend's Ravioli was too rich that she could only ate two, my salad was over dressed and uneven; my fish was way overcooked, it was a pity as it was a really nice piece of fish and I could tell that it would be delicious if it had been cooked properly. Overall, only the Onion Soup was OK. With their price point, I have lots of restaurants to choose from, so I don't know if I would go back. read more

Didn't like the taste of the mushroom ravioli sauce is missing something. Just tasted like cream. Service was great :) Love the restaurant interior. Moderate noise level inside. read more

Big space inside and patio space. Parking is tight on weekend or holidays. Highly recommend reservation on weekend. Service was good. Rating out of 5 for vegetarian food Mushroom Ravioli - 5 - really good with nice sauce Kale salad with quinoa- 3.5- not big fan of dates in the salad made it really sweet Berry non alcoholic drink - 3.5 - balanced drink Arnacini- 5 - classic with good vodka sauce read more

Ok it just opened but this isn't at Glen Ellyn's level yet. The space is impressive with a ton of outdoor seating to help for 7 months of the year. Had cocktails and ordered appetizers - Zucchini fries were very good. Mussels tasted good but several were dead in the bowl. Mentioned to the waitress to no real acknowledgment. Had mushroom ravioli and vodka pasta as main course. Both were good after the inclusion of meat but still weren't great. Service was fine and not that I needed a handout but didn't pick up on a birthday in my group and just brought the check after dinner. Some things to clean up but it will probably be excellent in the future read more

A great addition to St. Charles! The ambiance is moody yet modern and inviting. The menu is big with a variety to choose from. Service was wonderful, from our server to the speed of drinks arriving to the bussers clearing plates. It was very clean and we can't wait to go back. Not pictured, but DELICIOUS: Calamari and Shrimp Fritti which was so well battered, crispy, and balanced. We loved the aioli! read more

Food was absolutely delicious and service was very attentive as well. Ordered a little bit of everything as well as drinks and nothing disappointed. The vibe of the restaurant was also awesome. Just what St. Charles has been missing! I will say I wouldn't order the pizza again I think there are better wood fired options in our area but everything was tasty overall. read more

Came in unexpectedly after our previous plans didn't work out. Were greeted promptly and sat at a great table near the open veranda. Could immediately tell that the staff was excellent based on the way they treated us like they were hosting us in their own home. Food was great-- we ordered the pork chop and the bolognese-- both were excellent. Finished with the brownie dessert and the key lime pie. Definitely will return soon. read more

Fire and Wine is brand new in St. Charles. We went on a Monday (half-price pasta) and it was packed. Everything was sparkling, from the silverware to the glassware. I started with and old-fashioned and it was great, a little on the sweet side for most people, but I like it that way. I also had a glass of the cabernet with dinner that I really liked. The menu is similar to that of some of the other restaurants in the group (Ellas, Livia, Gia Mia) but a little more extensive. The by-the-glass wine list is considerably larger than many places. For our group of five, four of us chose the Lobster Fra Diavolo. It was delicious, with just the right amount of spice. One of our four noticed there was no lobster in their pasta. We mentioned it to our server and the chef personally brought four extra bowls of lobster for us (note: only one dish was missing the lobster). Multiple people came to check on us. They really handled it well. We ordered a couple desserts to share but the standout was the Butterscotch Buddino. It was like a Crème Brûlée without the crispy top. So delicious! The service was great and with our one little issue, the really went above and beyond to make sure it was right. Definitely, a great addition to St. Charles! read more

The menu was versatile. The wine list expansive. (Monday and Wednesday are half price bottles of wine.) We ordered the Arancini balls and the steak and farmer's salads. Both were loaded with lots of fresh ingredients. Excited to come back and try some of their main entrées. read more

Food was beyond amazing! From service, appetizers, drinks and main courses. Definitely worth a try! read more

Our waiter Andrew was fantastic. Front desk needed a little help, the manager (I think) scolded their employees right in front of us when both of them were correct and she was incorrect. It was Symantec's and a weird power trip. read more

Our latest visit was a very positive experience. Loved the "outside " patio/sunroom that promises to be very inviting in winter when they close the glass windows all around and turn the heat on. Paige, our sever, was excellent, very welcoming, professional, and full of life! Wow! I love the ambiance. The food and entrees have improved a great deal since the initial opening. read more

We had a phenomenal dinner, beginning with a warm welcome from the host team and ending with a perfect round of post-dinner decafs. Our server, Soren, provided impeccable service, and the kitchen delivered beautifully presented, piping-hot plates. The value here is excellent, and we can't wait to return! One small note for the atmosphere: the hard surfaces make the room quite echoey. Some acoustic treatments to soften the sound would really take the dining experience to the next level. read more

Huge fans of fire and wine, usually dine at the one in glen ellyn, decided to try this one. Beautiful dining space, unfortunately there are some issues, the tables are very close together for parties of five or more, they seated a large party next to us where 10 people were crammed into a booth, there was also a party in the back taking up all the room so you couldn't even get to the bathroom, the patrons were extremely rude and acted as if they owned the whole restaurant. Now to the food: the food is in no way as good as the other establishments, same dishes, totally different flavors. My daughter ordered the spicy chicken tortellini, bland sauce, watery, and the chicken, the chicken was like eating a racquet ball, chicken should not crunch even you eat it. The rest of the meal was ok, we saw our server twice Bryan, very nice but not super attentive. I'm really disappointed in the quality, to have a disgusting meal at $25 is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location. read more

We got the meatballs, Asiago gnocchi (added chicken) and tiramisu. Everything tasted exquisite and the service couldn't have been better. From the bussers, bartenders, server, hosts and management, everyone went out of their way to check in with intentionality and kindness. The space is also really beautiful. So excited this spot is here, we will be back! read more

We had a fantastic dinner here this evening, Kudos to the team! Sometimes at newer places ( new location) they struggle. but this team was amazing! Thank you Lilly for great service! Food was delicious! We got some pasta dishes and some chicken dishes. The ambience was very nice. We are thrilled to have some new places coming to east St Charles area. Great job! read more

Wow. Just had my bookend birthday meal at Fire & Wine in the NEW St. Charles location (mall area) by Coopers Hawk. Original Glen Ellyn location has the cozy vibe and this new location has an open, airy, mainstream upscale vibe--also better for groups but still good for pairs. St. Charles location also has bar seating for pairs or singles. All can enjoy. Strong menu at both. read more

Everything about this place is nice! Ambiance, and especially the service, and the food is outstanding! Very nice place. Comfortable, and very welcoming. Love it read more

Dinner for four on Wednesday 5/20 with reservations and seated upon arrival. They were busy. This is a new restaurant but by a familiar well-established restaurant company: BG Hospitality Group, which also manages the six Gia Mia, locations, the Livia location in Geneva, the Moto Imoto location in St. Charles and the three Ella's Italian Pub locations...but this is the first time they designed a restaurant from the ground up - and they did a wonderful job - A+ with a very classy look and layout. The food is good, but they have only been open a few days, so let them work out the kinks. The portions are fine and the service was exceptionally quick for the food and drinks but then became slow for the desert and bill. They messed up our pizza order, so they brought the correct one out quickly and a take home box for the incorrect one - very nice, appreciated and unexpected. The pasta (Rigatoni Bolognese) and fish (Blackened Whitefish) were cooked properly but the rigatoni was a little too al dente and the fish was perfect and so were the fingerling potatoes. The deserts: Butterscotch Budino and Ricotta Cheesecake . . . just say yes, you won't be disappointed. We all had fun. The atmosphere was nice. The seating was well thought out, and the noise level was just right for a restaurant of that size and pricing is very reasonable. They will get better and stronger with each passing week that goes by, is worthy of a "highly recommended" . . . and a welcome addition to the East side of town. read more

BEAUTIFUL inside - staff is VERY attentive and customer service is some of the best I've experienced in a LONG time. Our waiter was Walter, who was FABULOUS - so attentive and professional. Manager is very customer focused. This seems rare these days so I WILL be back and highly recommend. We went for lunch. You must try the Salmon Salad (SO yummy and beautifully plated) and the Farmer's Chicken salad was very tasty too. I liked the tiramisu and butterscotch budino was simple and delicious. Excited to return for dinner. read more

We loved visiting the new location of fire + wine! The restaurant had a great vibe and for as busy as it was, the service was excellent. Our waiter, Andrew, had great recommendations for food and drinks, and was attentive to food allergies. He double checked everything in our order for cross contamination and confirmed everything with us several times. The chicken caprese and steak were fantastic, and the white wine cake is a 10/10. We will definitely be back! read more

I went to eat here a few nights ago with my husband, my experience started off rocky. There was many flys EVERYWHERE. They kept landing by my water and food, I was sitting inside aswell. On top of all the bugs flying around it was very loud and I wanted to enjoy a nice date but it was overwhelming and noisy and HORRIBLE. I got a salmon salad and there was also a hair on the plate. When I told the server that there was a hair, he did not believe me and seemed like he wanted to refuse to take the food back. It was quite over priced for being a complete mess! If I could give this place zero stars I would have. read more

Very nice layout and ambiance. Service was great on this Saturday afternoon. The Chicken Piccata was a little too salty, but outside of that very good as the chicken breasts were tender and juicy. The Black Pepper Jumbo shrimp appetizer was very good; do recommend. The Chateau Peyrat Bordeaux was disappointing. We're looking forward to visiting again and hope it lasts. read more

Unfortunate - two of us got the pizza. Very soggy in the middle and ingredients not evenly spread. Cocktails took a long time. Extremely loud. New location, hope they get it worked out. read more

Opened 5/5. Very busy. Great service and food. Nice ambiance. Smooth operation considering they have just opened and were super busy.

Great place to have dinner for any occasion. You won't regret it. Stop in and enjoy the experience.

Very good food! Staff is super friendly and quick. The whole restaurant is stunning. On the louder side during busy times but still great!

I wish I could be as positive about this restaurant as many of the other patrons. We arrived promptly at our 4:30 reservation on a Sunday and were seated next to the hostess desk. Throughout our meal we had to listen to the discussion of the three women there as to who should be seated where. There should have not been a table where we were seated. Next the waitstaff Lily, sold my husband and son a new wine that she said was great and was on the special menu. They both agreed to try it. 10 minutes later Lily came back to tell them that they had run out of that wine and they should choose another! (4:30 on a Sunday when the wine was on the special menu?) I had wanted a frozen drinks but was told they don't do those and finally choose a margarita with very light salt. I ended up wiping the heavy salt off the edge of the glass. The manager who was very personable came over to talk to us and we did tell him of our experience so far. He said they would take very good care of us and was sorry. While he was talking to us the wine came and my son picked up his glass with the mouth mark on it and handed it to the manager! He apologized quickly and said he would get a new glass and be right back. That took 10 minutes as our food came and I told my husband to start eating and I would wait for the wine so that we could toast as a family. My husband had the mussels and he loves mussels. The mussels couldn't have been any smaller than the ones he received! Many were just floating in the broth as they were no longer in their shell. The dish had been advertised as spicy but was very bland as we all tasted it when my husband complained about the taste. I had the Scottish salmon salad along with the onion soup. My son had the blackened white fish and my husband ordered the special of the variety of filets with toppings. They were all good but again the noise of the reception desk was very intrusive with our dinner. For $200.00 we would want a better atmosphere and less noise as we love new restaurants and eat out often. We did not have dessert. I really wish our experience had been better. read more

Went with friends on a Tuesday night. Service and food was outstanding! We sat on the patio and enjoyed appetizers, entrees, and desserts... everything was superb! Our server was friendly, efficient, and spoke knowledgeably about the menu. Will definitely be back! read more

I am updating my review and downgrading a star. We were looking forward to returning here after having a pleasant first visit, though not without some faux pas. This time we brought some friends along and raved about the place. They were looking forward to it as a first visit. We were the first customers there yesterday at 4pm. The three young ladies at the desk weren't sure where to put us. After deciding to put us at Walter's table, we looked through the menu and made a decision on our plates. I told my friend I enjoyed the vegetable Asiago cheese gnocchi on my last visit. It came piping hot on that visit. I wanted to eat something different and selected the mushroom ravioli. Those plates came out together, and then came the flatbread ordered by a friend, and then my husband ordered the chicken special, which was the last plate to come out. His food was piping hot. However, the other three plates were luke warm at best. We did not wait to eat until everyone was served. It was a disappointment. I will say, the flavors in my ravioli dish were delicious. That's what made it more disappointing because I wanted to keep eating it, but not as it got cold. Walter never came over to ask about our food, not did he ask how everything was at the end of the meal. I would have told him about the luke warm plates. While the staff is very friendly, I do not feel like they go the extra mile for customer satisfaction. I love the vibe and ambience of this place, but I will only give it one more try. And the next time, if something is not as it should be, I will send it back. read more

Went on a Friday night. So crowded and noisy we couldn't talk. Very poorly designed space with hard surfaces and no acoustics. Try to sit outside if possible. We ordered mushroom ravioli and blackened halibut and both were overly spicy. I'll add that we love the Glen Ellyn Fire &Wine so were pretty disappointed overall. read more

Ok, this was just our first visit so here are my first visit observations....seated right away and we had reservations for 6:15pm tonight..Saturday. They have been open for dining since May 5th. We were seated at a great corner booth table. No one greeted us or brought water for about 10 minutes or so. Our server did finally appear and gave us menus and waters. Took our drink orders and told us the evening specials. We ordered the appetizer special with him right away , grilled octopus and a side salad. It came right away but the octopus was cold..hmmm...not sure if it was supposed to be cold... he did tell us the bar was slow and he would check on our drinks. Drinks did finally come and he took our dinner orders. Husband ordered the whitefish and I ordered the rigatoni bolognese. Those plates also came out quickly. Mine was not hot. Our server came back after a few to check on us but at that time didn't offer Parmesan or grated pepper ...it was his second visit and I had nearly finished that he asked about those offerings. The meals were timely though not entirely memorable. The noise level in the restaurant is loud and we are not elderly people.. just want to have a conversation that we didn't feel is exhausting due to practically shouting. I'm feeling that it will be some time before we attempt this restaurant again. It needs a bit more time to properly train staff and get everything sharpened. read more

Just came here for my birthday and it was so good! I didn't know they are apart of the sister chain of Gia Mia and Ella's, it makes sense because the menu is very similar. The staff were super friendly and for it just opening, they were on top of their game! All the food came out fast and hot. A lady (most likely a manager) came around and asked how it was going, she was super helpful & nice. They have an amazing set up with the bar that goes from inside to out, and the outside bar meets the outside seating. That feature will be super nice for the summer! read more
