ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Adults can enjoy Chef Paul Virant's farm-to-table menu (while also enjoying cocktails created by Bill Anderson). Children can enjoy kid-friendly dinners (chicken tenders and grilled cheese). Read more
Game over. Best burger I've ever had. Better than Burger Joint, Corner Bistro, JG Melon, even Luger's, which comes closest. And it's from Western Springs, Illinois.
Jason RowleyJune 28, 2015Paul Virant's cooking has become a lot more exciting since the last time I've been here, and the portions have increased. The pork belly dish I got was so, so good.
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 12, 2012Vie really makes everything, from its bread to its pickles & preserves! It just goes to show you that CIA grads -- including Chef/Owner Paul Virant -- really learn how to get around in the kitchen!
Tiffany delanoJanuary 14, 2012U hav 2 try the wood grilled beef loin u dnt hav 2 eat it all cuz its big or try the Texas redfish and do NOT try the foie gras it's like gooey and a weird texture but u might like it if ur an adult- ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Bill Anderson has crafted a cocktail program at Vie that, like the restaurant, is one that is unjustly overlooked by Chicago diners (I'm looking at you, Michelin man).

TammyNovember 16, 2011Came here during Chicago chef week. Really nice, quiet ambiance. Great service and definitely a neighborhood gem! The place is so randomly placed by a train station though?
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 10, 2012Every Sunday, chef Paul Virant (a 2007 best new chef) prepares a highly popular three-course family dinner where children 11 and under cost as much as their age (i.e., $3 for a 3-year-old). Read more
Peter DykstraNovember 26, 2013This is definitely worth the drive or train ride out there. Take the metra, three station is across the street.- TammyJuly 30, 2011Came here during chef week. Great pre fixe menu! Absolutely love the food-wine pairing. Neighborhood gem, indeed.
David TerianMarch 8, 2017They burn kerosine on each table, for candles. It is so much, this place reeks of kerosine. It is a health hazard.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Sunday suppers are a time for families to come together. Have a large brood? Children under 11 pay their age. - Inspector
order the coffee ice cream dessert (call 1 day ahead as it's not on the menu); if you love coffee, you'll love this dessert
- The burger is amazing. Try as an appetizer for more options
