They have an excellent bar up front and make great cocktails- my husband and dad both love the classic old fashion! I'm a sucker for a nice glass of Pinot Noir. If you're dining in (and you really should!) The pasta bolognese is a must have. Always amazing. And the black pepper shrimp over polenta is an amazing appetizer! So rich and delicious. These are both part of my go-to order here. Recently expanded my order and tried the short rib over polenta for the first time, it was amazing. Tender. Flavorful. Good sized portion. Wonderful. Will absolutely get again. For dessert, and there's always room for dessert here in my opinion, I love to get the rich panna cotta. This past time though we got the butterscotch budino, which was smooth and rich without being overly sweet. It was perfect to share (or not)! Just enough hint of butterscotch and topped with a crumbled shortbread cookie to an add a little crunch to the otherwise creamy treat. The staff is always helpful in making recommendations to suit your tastes too! There is a call ahead wait list and they've also started taking reservations. Enjoy your night out in Glen Ellyn at Fire and Wine, cheers!

The kind staff is always giving out samples and asking how they can help if you're unsure what you like. They introduced us to some fabulous French wine last time, which we usually never drink! The sandwiches are also fantastic - the Serrano is the BEST!!!

Everyone is always super kind and helpful! Which, really adds to the cozy French feel. They have seating indoors and outdoors. And, everything is sparkling clean! I've tried so many of there different cheeses, cured meats, breads, and sandwiches over the years. That, I can honestly say that it's all incredibly delicious! I've even stopped in for a glass of wine. Which, was incredible as well! Everything is perfect here! Also, if you're looking for anything to add to your charcuterie board. They'll have it here! From crackers, to chocolate covered almonds, to any cheese or cured meats thatthat you can think of. They have it all! So, stop by and enjoy yourself. You won't regret it.

There were a lot of different sized tables to accommodate any group. This would be a great spot for a rainy afternoon, book club, date night, etc. We didn't realize it was Michigan wines only which is not our favorite, but the bartender was really helpful in helping us find alternatives. They offered Michigan whiskey, cocktails, cider, and beer. I got a cider & my fiancée got a beer from a local Geneva brewery. We absolutely loved both of them! There were also some bar snacks available, candy, cherries, cheese & crackers, etc. to munch on if you're hungry. They have a cute retail shop in the front with merch, cutting boards, and wine. Weirdly specific, but they also carry my FAVORITE line of lavender soaps and lotions from northern Michigan.

The staff/owners are always incredibly friendly and helpful with making purchase decisions and we've discovered a couple of brands there that have become serious favorites of ours. Perhaps our favorite part of this store is the two cats (I think their names are Ernest & Julio) who are always laying around the store and greeting you as you enter and leave. They are both very friendly cats who don't mind you petting them while you're checking out at the register. It just makes buying wine more personable and fun.

They have all day happy hour on Tuesdays (love it!) so we got some meat and cheese. I asked the server for a gluten free option and she was knowledgeable and offered more veggies instead of bread. The marinated tomatoes are delicious, do not skip them! When it came to wine, the glass I ordered was not available so she described the substitute and I ordered that instead. Turns out it was not to my liking, the server was happy to swap out the glass for a different recommendation instead. When it came to ordering more substantial food, again the server was sure to ask about who was gluten free and made suggestions for each. I ended up with a shawarma bowl that was amazing! Absolutely would come back for that again or even just for a drink.

What a sweet, intimate place for get-togethers and unlike Naperville, parking is a breeze in downtown Lisle. Their wine list --by the glass or bottle-- is extensive, of course, but the food menu has a wide selection of delicious possibilities.

Those fired pizzas are quite shareable, too! Jessica was our server this time and she was up-beat, knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you, Jessica, for making our meet-up evening together with friends so memorable! We enjoyed our evening very much. :)

The spot itself is decorated beautifully. Indoor and out, this was very well thought out. It is a cute yet sophisticated place to grab coffee (or adult drinks), get some work done, or meet up with a few friends and just enjoy. The outdoor patio is beauuuuutiful. If you look at photos before it was a patio, wowwwww. It needed a lot of TLC and that is exactly what it got. I stopped in during a weekday morning and asked the staff member what was the most popular coffee drink. She said it was the amaretto latte which I did end up ordering. This is probably the only coffee place that carries amaretto syrup. My advice? Get it, you might not be able to try it anywhere else. It's nutty, sweet and delicious. Prices are on the higher side, however, it's a small and locally owned coffee shop. I might be wrong but this might actually be the only small and locally owned coffee shop in Warrenville. Who doesn't love supporting local?

We shared a bunch of items. VAI's salad had a generous portion of cheese, 4cheese bread was awesome, mushrooms Prosciutto pizza was really good. I particularly enjoyed the Baratta with honey and jam, combining with a toasted bread which gave me such a nice mix of the good. From short rib pasta, seafood in red sauce, and other entrees, my personal favorite is Chilean see bass. Just grilled to perfection with black risotto as a base. Will have to get more next time. The restaurant was so generous for our 3 ladies having a March birthday. Each of us got a separate regular size dessert: cheesecake, chocolate cake and cinnamon sugar roll. Each of them was tasty. My favorite was the chocolate one. We got a very sweet waitress who took care of us. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening here and hope for a lot more time.
