Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Portage Park

We had a great experience at Cira. The food was delicious and the waiter was attentive, the decoration was beautiful and the atmosphere was warm.

The food at RL Restaurant was absolutely amazing—every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was also beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere for dining. However, I think it would benefit more if it were just reservations-only. It’s a small space, and it was overly crowded and quite loud, which took away from the otherwise great experience. With fewer walk-ins, it could be even more enjoyable for guests.

LUXBAR's energetic atmosphere, menu, and excellent service are why I enjoy this restaurant so much.

The ambiance inside Blue Fire was very pleasant. Our server Volodymyr was very attentive and personable. The bread was hot and soft! The food was excellent! I had the vegetarian dish and had the green jasmine tea. The outdoor patio looked very inviting, the fireplaces seem like they would keep you warm and cozy on a cold day or night. I would recommend this restaurant! I will definitely return.

Excellent innovative food. Quality of the wines for the pairing option is very low but, amazingly enough, they taste quite well with the meal. Still, they should offer good wines to match their outstanding cuisine. Our waitress was amazing, knowledgeable while not overdoing it, and attentive to provide good service to us and surrounding tables Great job !
