Vie, named after the French word for life, offers seasonal, contemporary American cuisine inspired by Western European cultures and rustic fare. Chef and owner Paul Virant focuses on year-round seasonal eating with a menu featuring housemade pickles and p

By any standard, Vie in Western Springs, Illinois, is one of the leading restaurants in the United States. It has earned one star from Michelin, the gold standard of culinary rating systems, and is ranked among the top 40 eateries in the country. Located at 4471 Lawn Avenue, a few steps from a Metra station, chef/owner Paul Virant opened his masterpiece in 2004, the first restaurant in Western Springs to serve liquor since Prohibition. It makes for farm-to-table fine dining in an elegant, warm setting with white tablecloths and black banquettes. It opens at 5 from Tuesday through Saturday. Virant offers five and eight-course tasting menus. There are so many delicious dishes that you are pressed to choose one item from another. How about a first course of pan fried Great Lakes perch or a domestic cheese plate or chilled muskmelon soup or wood-grilled corn or the Vie charcuterie with country pate, coppa, summer sausage, rye toast, pickles and mustard or chicken milanese with smoked chicken and fresh peaches? Entrees? How about pan roasted Great Lakes whitefish or wood-grilled 12-pound New York strip or bratwurst sausage and smoked ham or wood-grilled lamb loin and BBQ lamb leg or wood-grilled sturgeon? Virant has a thing with wood-grilled. But it seems to work. For dessert, try the dark chocolate croquette with milk chocolate whipped ganache, white chocolate gelato, sable crumble and raspberry jam. Or cucumber sorbet with blueberry granita, sparkling heirloom lime soda and blueberries. Vie is a unique, one-of-a-kind restaurant. But what would you expect from a Michelin award winner?

We were back in Chicago for a visit, and a Hindsdale couple we've known there for a very long time, recommended Parker's Grill for some good food. They are regulars there, and even made the reservations for us.Unfortunately the whole experience here was just awful.Felt like we were being profiled from the minute we valeted our car, a rented toyota.Perhaps pulling up in a Bentley or Jag might have got the evening off to a better start.We were seated alright, but in Siberia for sure. they gave us the one table between the kitchen and the toilet. Classy!Service was completely non-existent for us.They brought the menus, they brought the food and they brought the check.Not once during the entire meal did anyone ask how's your food? Can I refill your glass? Would you like another drink?I remember actually turning in my chair to try to make eye contact with any passing waiter and they all refused. WE COULD NOT WAIT TO GET OUT OF THERE.this place reminded me of the old Gene & Georgettis on the near north side.If you were a regular, life was good...... but if you were a fist timer.....BANISHED UPSTAIRS!very disappointed we spent all the money we did here , for ultimately so little.Don't bother, there's so many great places to eat around there.Just head east a little down 31st and stop in at Pappadeaux Seafood.they treat everybody the same over there.Hi, Peter. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the experience you describe. This is absolutely not how we want our guests to be treated or feel when they dine with us, and I am so disappointed to learn that we fell short on your visit. Please know that we donât take this feedback lightly, and I am discussing your review with my whole team. I would also like to speak with you directly. When itâs convenient for you, can you please reach out to me at [email protected] with your name, phone number and the best day/time to reach you? I will give you a call. Thank you.Tim SandowGeneral Manager

Coming to this area a lot for work, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this gem! How I had not been here prior is strange as J Alexanderâs is right up my alley.Nice Mix menu, lovely ambiance/decor and fantastic service. We got the deviled eggs appetizer which was delicious! I got the fried chicken strips dinner and my friend got the ahi steak. I went crazy for the coleslaw... it was SO good as was the rest of my meal. We did their carrot cake which may me the best carrot cake I have ever tasted with a warm light icing. Iâll be back.

Have been here multiple times, but the first time eating inside. Service is good and efficient. This place has good, and upscale bar food. the Ahi Tuna tacos are great. Another at our table had fish & chips which he also said were good. We continue to go back. Looking forward to when we can eat outside again and their patio dining is quite relaxing.
