Blue Fire Restaurant

I have been there twice now within about 3 weeks and just remembered to post this! Went for dinner once - delicious! Pizzas are excellent. Second visit was an unplanned stop during Happy Hour - great deal that I didn't even know was offered! Samir was our waiter at dinner and then happened to be the bartender during Happy Hour too. EXCELLENT, friendly service both visits! Great drink menu and decent wine selection. I don't know what they do to their mushrooms, but every dish/appetizer I've had with them is amazing! Their account popped up in my Instagram feed so I started following & was lured in by their posts. Can't wait to return - and am kicking myself for not having visited sooner!

Service and ambiance was great! Our waitress Nadi was superb! Will definitely come back to try out other dishes.

The food was incredible and the service was really good! The server was Well informed and knowledgeable very kind and attentive. We had lamb chops and pasta both really tasty and well done. They have live jazz music on Saturday from 6-9 PM. Looking forward to returning

The staff were super mindful of taking care of my girlfriend and I. The atmosphere is cozy and the servers were very warm. We felt very appreciated for dining there & there were extremely understanding of a family next to us which made the experience even better. Food is delicious and came out in a timely manner. I can’t think of any reason not to come back. 10/10

Amazing from start to finish! Nadi was our server and gave out great recommendations! Great food & cocktails! We will be back.

We enjoyed our 6th wedding anniversary meal here. Everything was delicious. Our server Nadia was awesome and helpful. Everything looked like it jumped from a page to the plate. Can’t wait to find a reason to come back. Cheers 🥂

We came to Red Bottle for the first time and had such a great experience! Nadia was our server she was super friendly and attentive. We sat outside by the fire pit, which made for a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The cocktails were delicious, and the pizza was amazing perfect for sharing while catching up with my friend. The live music added a nice touch to the evening. Can’t wait to come back!

This was the absolute BEST meal in all of the suburbs! I had the mussels to start and literally ordered them AGAIN they were that good, the drinks were so delicious and don’t get me started on the lamb chops and salmon!!! The service was so amazing, Nadia gave us all the best recommendations and was the sweetest! The vibes there are truly unmatched, so many cute picture spots and the food is giving 5 star restaurant! Will be back and bringing any friends who visit me in Chicago here!

Blue Fire Restaurant truly impressed us! The pizza and drinks were amazing, and our server, Nadia, was an absolute professional—warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable. We originally planned to go next door to the new bar, but when we saw the cozy fire pit outside, we decided to try Blue Fire instead, and we’re so glad we did. The service was 5 stars from start to finish. Nadia also mentioned they offer great weekly lunch specials and a happy hour—who doesn’t love that? This might just become my new go-to spot for food and drinks. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Yuri was Amazing and it’s our time here! Delicious food and great atmosphere! We will definitely be back soon! The vibe is excellent, romantic, fireplace cozy and beautifully designed! Even the ceiling is awesome! Our new favorite date night place! Thank you Yuri again d again!!! 🙌🥂

Simon was amazing and courteous. There weren’t many people seated inside so we had a wonderful private meal. They have an entire halal menu.

I wish I knew this place existed before! What an incredible place to eat and spend time in. The atmosphere is cozy but elegant, if that makes sense. The décor is comfortable, but also so stylish and aesthetically pleasing. The staff is welcoming and courteous, and Yuri, our server, went above and beyond. Maybe that's why we felt so at-home even though it was our first time here. The food is incredible. I had the pasta marinara but added zucchini, spinach and mushrooms. The preparation of the vegetables was as impressive as the rest of the dish - the zucchini was char-grilled. I will look forward to going back and trying more on the menu, including a cocktail during happy hour. Highly recommend!

The food is great the drink is awesome the restaurant is beautiful and amazing stuff Yaurii is very nice I would recommend everyone to give it a try!

We enjoyed our double date at this restaurant. Our waitress was lovely, she checked on us often, the food was good & didn’t take long to come out after we ordered, and the fire where the outdoor seating is was a vibe! I loved my pink coco cocktail!

Just amazing! We were in the neighborhood ( close to O’Hare airport) we looked for restaurants and Blue Fire was the first with best reviews! Samir welcome us at the door it was 11 and the restaurant was not busy at this time (Samir was our host and bartender and our waiter) he was amazing he mix our drinks and was so genuine and professional! The atmosphere was relaxing and I like the music played in the background! The food starting from the appetizers were so amazingly fresh and delicious! The prices were surprisingly affordable for quality! Thank you so much chef ! And the owner ! Keep up the excellent food and the affordable prices! We well come again definitely

Enjoyed an awesome Birthday dinner here. Food was amazing and our waiter Simon was fantastic! He also made our drinks to perfection 👌 Would definitely recommend!

We came in hoping for attentive and personalized service during the Super Bowl and that’s exactly what we got. The food, service and ambiance exceeded our expectations. Truly. Great service from Taras.

We come here often. This time we were with our family. The kids really enjoyed it. The food, service, and staff were top notch.

I had an incredible experience at Blue Fire Restaurant in Elmwood Park! From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely spectacular. Our server, Nadia, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of—she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our night special. The food and drinks were nothing short of amazing. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they put a lot of care into their menu. We sat out on the outdoor patio, and the atmosphere was super cool and relaxed—perfect for a summer evening. It was the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a chill outdoor dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Really love the atmosphere of this spot, perfect for a date night! The food and drinks are delicious! The staff was awesome, our server Kirill was the best!

Absolutely phenomenal service, atmosphere, and food!!! We came in for a lunch. Amazing Nadi took care of us from A to Z. She recommended dishes, made sure we get the best drinks that serves our needs, explained us the menu, and gave us a lunch discount !!!! The food was great. As simple as the salad was made, it had that amazing dressing that will make you lick the plate! We cannot wait to go back and try out more dishes. P.S thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. We will see you soon!

This restaurant is excellent! I flew in today and was looking up places to eat nearby the airport, only 20 min away traffic contingent. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal. Nadi A was very attentive, very knowledgeable of the restaurant menu and provided with great recommendations for the drinks, she deserves a raise. Overall I am very pleased with my experience, would definitely return when I fly into Chicago.

My wife and I went for our 25th anniversary. We had stopped at the bar the week before and were pleasantly surprised, so decided to go back for dinner. It was a comfortable Tuesday evening in June. The heat had dissipated and the humidity was within reason so we walked over to have dinner. We sat inside, which has a distinctly European vibe to it. Whoever decorated the place must have had a lot of fun. It's very inviting. We took our time ordering. And got drinks. There is a nice cocktail menu as well as wine and beer. The sidecar is very good, and the virgin mojito, although more expensive than a glass of wine, was very refreshing and a bit overpriced, in my opinion, especially since the cocktails are very well priced. We sat and talked for a few minutes. It felt like we had just ordered and suddenly the meal was at the table. Every one's entree was beautifully presented and it all was delicious, albeit super hot. The linguini and shrimp in pesto was good. It felt more like a pesto cream sauce, and could have had just a touch more garlic (but then, I love more garlic in general). The chicken parmesan looked amazing with a large portion of cheese on top. Everything was fresh and delicious, and did I mention hot, hot, hot! The portion sizes were good. Not an overly huge amount of pasta, it seemed, just right. Service was quick and polite, and not too much. The restaurant was not very busy, so you never know. All in all a great experience.

So I had seen this place randomly pop up recently when I was browsing Grubhub, but hadn’t tried it. My husband and I had some free time this weekend and finally gave it a try…I can’t think of the last time I was this excited to live so close to a restaurant. The food? Phenomenal. The drinks? Perfection. The service and atmosphere? No notes! Nadia was a phenomenal waitress. She was pleasant, prompt, clearly has the memory of an elephant since she never had to write our orders down, but got them all right. I can’t wait to bring friends and family back. And the membership?? If you live in the area, go on ahead and get it. $20 for premium and you got 10% off, a bottle of wine, and 2 free deserts. Can’t say enough good things about the place. I’m excited to become a regular here!

Had an amazing dinner at Bluefire Restaurant in Elmwood Park! We started with the bruschetta—so fresh and flavorful. I had the pizza, which was absolutely delicious, and my boyfriend ordered the seafood risotto, which he loved. The food was top notch! The Old Fashioned was made perfectly—definitely one of the best I’ve had. Our server, Yurii, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and really made our experience even better. We sat outside and the atmosphere was beautiful, with a great vibe that made the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend for a date night or night out with friends.

The food is amazing and a wide array too. Service is great. The music and ambiance are great for conversation and unwinding.

If your trying to impress your girl with good food good atmosphere great staff and excellent drinks this is the place to put a smile on her face.

Amazing service here! We had a friend who had a birthday and they brought out a sparkler candle and took our photos. Ambient lighting as well and wonderful music!

Blue Fire is such a hidden gem! Great vibes, delicious food, and the best cocktails. The ribeye steak and lamb chops were incredible — tender and full of flavor. Perfect place for a romantic date night

Amazing and fast service! Our waiter Samir was very attentive to our table and provided a great experience overall. We celebrated my mom’s birthday and we were able to get a piece of cake with a sparkler. The food was delicious too! Perfect

Had an absolutely amazing experience here! From the moment we sat down, Yurii and Volodmyr took incredible care of us. They were our waiters for the evening and truly went above and beyond. Super attentive, friendly, and professional; they didn’t miss a beat the entire night. The food was phenomenal! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The atmosphere was just as impressive; welcoming, vibrant, and the perfect vibe for a night out. Yurii and Volodmyr made our visit extra special with their outstanding service. It’s rare to find staff this dedicated and detail-oriented. We never had to ask for anything; they were always one step ahead. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’re already recommending this place to friends and family. If you’re looking for great food, top-tier service, and a great atmosphere; this spot delivers on every level. 10/10

The thing that first comes to mind is the vibe. They have multiple fireplaces; blue lampshade chandeliers. The waitress was happy. What else can I say-oh the food. I had chicken Alfredo it was delicious. Wife had chicken lemone. Wife was glad I picked this restaurant; if you want an exotic drink ask for the indigo. Overall I liked everything about the restaurant. Five stars.

We went for a Holiday Nurse's night out, and had a great time! The scenery is super cute, and the hostess was not only very sweet but also very knowledgeable and proud of the food that Blue Fire serves. All of us loved our drinks, and no one had any complaints in that regard. I ordered the steak, and at first thought it wouldn't be enough food, but the portion was perfect. The steak was also perfectly cooked and seasoned nicely. I really liked the two sauces that it came with. Parking was easy to find on the street, but I think they have a parking lot as well. I would definitely come again based on the smell of my friend's Risotto alone (which I will definitely be trying).

Stopped here on a business trip and the server Nadia was so great! The food was incredible! I had the mushroom risotto with grilled chicken and my associate had a pesto pizza. Both were delicious. We sat by a nice fire, so the atmosphere was great! Definitely worth a stop!

Where do I start?! Everything was perfect! The ambiance, the service, the food all amazing. Our server Nadia is the sweetest and pays so much attention to details. She was so thorough and made sure to make my night special! My husband and I will most definitely be back!

What a find ! Came on a Monday evening and had fabulous service and tasty food. A bit dark for my liking but they have lights at each table. Fireplace in center of room . Covered outside area with heaters looks charming. Happy hour specials and Valentines special too! would be a GREAT date night place

Lamb chops were great seasoned very well but they could have kept the potato chips that came with it on the mashed potatoes other than that no complaints.

First I will start with the positive, the inside was pretty and welcoming. Our waitress was kind and friendly, that is the reason I give 2 stars. We had a party of 11 that we made reservations for well in advance. We were brought 1 basket of bread with one small loaf for 11 people, when we asked for more bread we were told we would get some in 4 minutes. 30 minutes later still waiting for our bread and kindly asked again, we were told it was coming the kitchen burnt the first batch. Okay it happens I work in food service so I get it. Our waitress was also the hostess so to no fault of her she wasn't very attentive, but that's understandable when it seemed like there was not enough staff. Our reservation was for 6pm it was 645 before we got bread and drinks. Our order came out in several batches so everyone ate at different times, my partner ordered Alfredo with chicken, and his food came 15 minutes after everyone else's. Sadly the Alfredo was soupy and bland and did not meet our expectations. Myself and another member of the group got the chicken parm. The marinara sauce was way to heavy on the oregano, and the pasta was ice cold! It seemed like the pasta had been sitting and warm sauce was put on top, any pasta that did not have sauce was cold to the touch. My daughter got a burger well done and it was very pink in the center. My sister as well ordered a burger with no sauce or onions, well done, and it came with both sauce and onions and pink in the middle. We asked to speak with a manager ad was told there wasn't a manager, he was opening the new location and they were all in charge. Coming from someone who works in food service at the same restaurant for 15 years that's wild!!!! We left most of the food on the table they did take off one of the burgers and the Alfredo pasta. We left at 945 so almost 2 hours to get cold and mediocre food. I was just really bummed, everyone in our party was excited to try this place do to all the nice reviews, however I would not recommend until they get there kinks worked out it's a pricey place and in this economy to waste money is a hard thing to do, everyone at the table left hungry and dissatisfied. No shade to our waitress I could tell she was trying her best, her ticket instructions were correct just not followed by the cooks. We paid and left a generous tip, but sadly will not be back nor would I recommend.

Wow. My girlfriend and I were very excited for this Restaurant, the reviews looked Promising. The service when we walked in was not the most welcoming and we had a reservation. There was no introduction of the servers name and it felt like she was very impatient with us already. Then, after ordering the appetizers, we get another server? He served us the rest of the time and there was no explanation why the switch. I had also noticed that there were bread on the other tables and we did not get offered that at all, and we actually asked and there was complementary bread. The food turned out OK, It wouldn’t be something that brought us back, especially with not good service. We also witnessed the same Female server, we had in the beginning interact with another table and she was much friendlier and actually did offer them bread. We laughed because it was just absurd We were treated differently. This was supposed to be our two year anniversary dinner, And we will honestly be going to somewhere else to have A redo because of how bad this was. I do want to mention the atmosphere and the jazz music was very nice, We just couldn’t enjoy it as much as we would’ve liked because of the bland and uninviting service. I want to throw in a recommendation, Foxtail on the lake in the Des Plaines area is an amazing Restaurant for celebrating and they always provide great service and great food.

If i would give negative stars I would! Food was horrible waited 50 minutes. The chicken parm pasta was ice cold the red sauce tasted liked they dumped a jar of oreagno in it! The alfredo was bland and soupy. Everyones food came out at different times like 10-15 minutes apart. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told there is not one here because they opened a second location....... very disappointed especially since we came to celebrate 2 family members birthdays 5 out of 10 of the party did not eat their food. EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICES. $19.00 FOR A BURGER that I would not eat because they drowned it in sauce that I told them not to put on . Then they had the nerve to put a 20% gratuity on the bill! Are you kidding me!🤬😡 Update almost a week later and still no response from the owner.
