    Kobe Beef & Wild Mushroom Stroganoff
    Jamie S.

    We arrived at 5pm and were seated in what they termed their "alternate" dining room, a separate space away from the main dining room. It was quiet and cozy and decorated nicely. Our server was excellent. She coursed out our meal perfectly. Loved the roasted fava beans! The stroganoff was outstanding with a terrific variety of mushrooms and Kobe beef. Hubby loved his flap cut steak and au gratin potatoes. We will def return.

    Average pizza that's $23 a pop. We ordered take out so on site experience may be better but wasn't impressed.

    roasted stuffed portabella mushroom

    I had a lovely and filling dinner here! The mushroom cobbler was delicious. Reminded me of a cream of mushroom soup topped with crispy bread crumbs. The stuffed portobello mushroom was hearty and I loved the fried egg addition on top. The complimentary house made bread was incredible. I tried stopping myself from getting too full of it but the texture was perfectly bouncy and soft, I devoured it. I had a bite of my friends Italian sausage pizza, which I thought was too salty for my taste. Love that they highlight and feature so many mushrooms. Would recommend checking this place out for any fellow mushroom lovers out there!

    Short wait! Great food! No kids menu, but very accommodating just ask what they can do! Very cute spot! Worth waiting and the price!

    Brie Plate

    Brick & Fire Bistro is a small restaurant found in the heart of Eureka, CA. This little restaurant is a powerhouse when it comes to making hearty and Smokey foods while providing excellent service. I recommend reserving as there are very limited seats and they are busy. Every staff member was very nice and they were always checking in on my table. We started with a Brie dish that had fire melted Brie cheese wedges, toasted slices of bread, and asparagus. The brie was smooth and Smokey as I combined it with the toasted bread. I'm not much of a fan of asparagus, but I found myself going back for more. Don't forget to eat the rind of the Brie as well ;). For my drink I had the homemade ginger ale and it was very refreshing. They offer free homemade bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I'm a huge fan of olive oil and unfortunately most places don't have great olive oil, but this one hit the spot. They refilled our bread as well at our request. The bread was nice and soft while packed with a garlic flavor that wasn't overpowering. For my main dish, l ordered a medium rare Kobe Fettina Steak. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was so tender and juicy and paired very nicely with the sauce as it fell apart in my mouth. The salad was a nice little palate cleanser and fresh. The au gratin was a great way to wrap up the dish as the toasted layer of cheese brought the potatoes together with packed flavor. Overall, I have no complaints and I was extremely happy with my experience. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. My partner had the same reaction with her dish as well. We will definitely plan to come back sometime in the future.

    The restaurant is cozy and small inside, though it's not located in the best area of Eureka. The highlight of our meal was definitely the grilled oysters -- they were excellent. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't stand out, and the service was lacking despite there seeming to be plenty of staff working. Our biggest concern was the bathroom setup. To get to the restroom, guests have to walk directly through the kitchen area, and people waiting were also standing in the kitchen. It didn't feel very sanitary or well organized. Overall, we were disappointed and wouldn't return.

    First of all, I just wanna start with that mushroom cobbler was a star of the night at our table of nine. We are still talking about it the day after. The apple tart tartin was like an apple pie with an extra dash of everything. It brought me back to Christmas in the 90s with my family. The fresh whipped cream was light and airy. Staff was exceptional. I don't think a single detail was missed. They had an alternate menu for kids and people looking for something simple. It looks like a cute little café on Italy. Clean bathroom. Definitely book a reservation or you're gonna be waiting a few hours. My dinner party was arguing if it was the best restaurant in Humboldt. I will definitely be back and be ordering takeout soon.

    Quality/Quantity - Complimentary Bread - This was so good. Baked in house...? Anyways, I try to NOT eat too much bread to NOT spoil my meal, but I did ask for seconds... Polenta Lasagna - My wife said it was good. Not sure if I even got a bite to try? Local Albacore Tuna and Prawn Risotto - I am NOT usually a risotto person, but this sounded good. And it did not fail. The shrimp took a little effort to eat, but all the flavors and textures were spot on. And of course, I paired my dish with a sauvignon blanc. This is probably one of the nicer/fine dining restaurants in Eureka. Atmosphere - Very small location. Love their brick oven. Also appreciated the fire decor outside, see pictures. Indoor and 2 tables outdoor seating. Indoor table or bar seating. Open 6 days a week from 5pm to 8:30pm ish, closed Tuesdays. See picture. Due to the age of the building, the bathroom is past the kitchen. Felt like I was in SF... The bathroom was clean and organized. Oh, and they had extremely HOT water, see picture of the warning. Thank you. Street parking, not an issue. Service - Good. I did not make reservations (I recommend that you make reservations as this is a very small and popular business!), but we only had to wait approximately 10 minutes for a table. The wait staff was good, and the kitchen team was very accommodating. Price - $66 + tip. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 2010. If we come back to Eureka, we will be regular customers. But next time, we will make reservations.

    Roasted Local Oysters @ $3.25 each
    Arnel E.

    We arrived during opening (as usual) on the 4th of July. I made sure we had reservations coming in Eureka. This was during the heatwave that NorCal was experiencing, so the open flames of the brick oven didn't ease our discomfort from the heat. But, this kiln did cook our food to perfection, so we beared the warmth emanating from it. The place was intimate. Probably not a restaurant for a large group. The Venetian furnishing & photos and the menu were certainly meant for dates and not a family with small kids dinner. We started our supper with glasses of vino. My wife had the moscato while I sipped through my red blend. The apps became my meal as I was pretty sure my wife won't be able to finish her's. The Roasted Local Oysters ($20 for 6) and Wagyu Carpaccio were really good. The baked mollusks were a delight as I could still taste the freshness of these Humboldt kumamotos as well as savor the garnishment. My wife picked her Tarragon Pecan Brie & Pesto Pizza and our son, opted for the B&F Italian Mac n Cheese. The main courses were excellent as well. The teen didn't want to share his plate but we snucked in a bite or two. We shared the Peach Shortcake Crisp for dessert. The filling and crumble were the highlights of this sweet treat. The place was literally packed 15 minutes from the 5pm opening and the crew, though busy with the other tables, were still attentive to us. Our server was even able to accommodate a photo request. Do try Brick & Fire (a Bistro) when in the Humboldt County for a great Mediterranean cuisine.

    I'm so happy I finally went to FalafeLove! The staff were friendly, the service and food were…read morequick, the atmosphere was beautiful both inside and out. Best of all the food was fresh and delicious with flavors and colors that really were such a wonderful treat. An easy 5 I will definitely be back!

    This place will change your life. I used to sling Falafel in two separate establishments and people…read moredon't realize: there's a lot that can go wrong. Others have mentioned the small size of the falafel balls, but that's kinda the secret sauce here. The smallness makes it so you can have an extra crunchy outside, with a just done enough inside, that is still moist without feeling underdone. Any larger and you'd have a weird mix of crunchy on the outside tough on the outer half and not done at all in the center. If they were smaller, they'd be too tough through and through. I also feel compelled to mention the depth of flavor achieved by the babaganoush. This is magical. Now, I make my own baba at home, so I know how difficult it can be to get the balance right. This place has nailed it. The hummus is divine and bursting with flavor. The tahini is gorgeous. The flavors of the meats (I tried both the chicken and had an à la carte side of the lamb roll) -- they have managed to make them completely complex--you get the feeling that they slow cooked it all for hours...locking in juicy smokiness that will make you say mmmmm and fill yourself ridiculously full because you can't stop eating it. Nor would you want to. On a personal note, as an Ashkenzai Jew, who has been very unfortunately landlocked in the worst place for our people: Southern Idaho for 2.5 years, this place felt like a breath of fresh air. Speaking of which, the open air patio in the back with plenty of flowering plants, overlooking the water, is such a fun yet tranquil setting. The guys are so kind as well, and made me feel like family. Just walking in and hearing the music, I felt uplifted. And then talking with them...just felt like chatting with old friends. They are simply crushing the hospitality piece. Don't sleep on FalafelLove.
