The place had that cozy, elevated comfort food vibe. The pizza really grabbed my attention, cheesy, rich and full of flavor. I'd keep it in mind next time I'm craving a great slice.

Great place for a date, loved the vibe. Everything looked amazing, it was hard to pick just one favorite. I would recommend it to my friends and family.

Saw the burger and knew it was the move. Super crispy, rich, and juicy. It had that gourmet vibe but still felt casual. Exactly what I was craving.

The lamb chops were hands-down the standout of the meal. As soon as they hit the table, the sear and perfect grill marks caught my eye. Every bite was rich, juicy, and packed with flavor. It had that gourmet, refined feel without being over the top. I paired it with a craft beer, and it was a perfect match. If you're debating what to order, go with the lamb chops—you won't regret it.

I had no prior knowledge of this restaurant, I googled “cute restaurant in oak park” and Blue Fire popped up. Thank you Google!! It's indeed very cute, the food was delicious, the cocktails were delicious, our server Nadi was sooo very pleasant. There were 6 of us and we alllll absolutely loved it and we all said we would be back. Thank you for a great evening Blue Fire 💙

The burger, pizza, and lamb chops looked good—everything was spot on! The food was fresh and well put together. Fries were solid, too! I'd definitely go out of my way for it. The energy of Blue Fire set my soul on fire!

We enjoy eating at BlueFire. Staff is very classy and professional with a great ambience. It's got a very European vibe.

I got familiar with this spot recently, and the pizza totally hit the mark. A good, comforting slice - the pepperoni really pulled me in. The vibe felt laid back, and the pizza was exactly what I was craving.

Everything looked really good—honestly hard to pick just one, but the burger definitely stood out. It caught my eye right away with that melty cheese and how fresh it looked. Seemed like it had a great balance of flavor and didn't even need anything on the side. I'd order it in a second. The whole vibe was super chill and it was the kind of burger you go for when you're craving something legit.

Very cute restaurant and the food was good. However, we were studiously ignored by waitstaff for the first 20 minutes we were seated- no one took drink orders or even brought water to the table. We finally had to flag down a waiter to let them know we'd like some water. Once a waiter was assigned to our table, they took our orders briskly- didn't ask if we wanted drinks or apps (which was ok we just ordered entrees) and once our order was in, food came out within a reasonable time frame. Overall, the food was good but the service made the experience less fun.
The pizza was a standout, cheesy, crispy, and full of flavor. The crust had the perfect crunch, and it hit just right with a soda. It felt a bit more upscale than your usual slice. I'd definitely tell a friend to try it.

It's not every day you find a place that completely exceeds expectations where the food is unforgettable, the service makes you feel like a VIP, and the atmosphere wraps you up in that perfect date night energy. But that's exactly what happened when we visited Blue Fire last night. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was spot on warm lighting, stylish décor, just the right amount of background music, and an overall vibe that felt elevated but still inviting. Whether you're coming for a romantic evening or celebrating something special, this place sets the tone before you even sit down.

This neighborhood gem is among lots of busy restaurants, and although it has a street presence, you might not notice it. Their outdoor area is on the north Avenue side. They have done what they can to make it quieter and cozy. We sat next to a gas fireplace and we're protected by substantial plastic sheeting on a cool spring night when we chose to sit outside. Especially good dishes were the arugula fusion shrimp, the bread, pasta carbonara and bolognese and pork medallions. service was impeccable and I thought the prices were reasonable considering the excellent quality of the food. We really enjoyed our evening there.

A definite neighborhood treasure. Cozy ambience. Menu has something for everyone. It was all delicious and the service, in spite of a very large party, was attentive, friendly and set a nice pace for the meal.

Great waiter. Great food. The outdoor seating was pretty. It was an event going on the day I came so we had no choice but to be outside. I would have preferred indoor seating because that's what I requested during reservations. Cheesecake is so creamy and delicious. Our waiter tried his best to accommodate my friends and I when I needed to move table because someone was smoking a Hookah. The two issues I had was not being informed that I would be sitting outdoors and there is Hookah smoking permitted. But food was good and I wish I knew my waiters name but he was a great guy.
