Vie is always awesome. The combination of preserved foods and the flavor profiles of the acids during the canning process with the excellent culinary creations of the chef are always amazing. Combine that with the tasteful and sometimes surprising wine pairings and amazing cocktails, and you have a recipe for success. The Devil in the White City is a white negroni made with Malort of all things, and it was great!

Service was great but the food was a bit limiting if you’re doing the prix fixe. Struggled to find something that I would enjoy and had to settle. Food was a bit bland but the waiter was great. Fairly reasonable for the price and given that you’re far out in the burbs

VERY interesting flavors. I don’t usually get dessert at restaurants, and they gave us one on the house. It was soo good!!Honestly the perfect note for my tastebuds to end on. Will definitely have to try again to give a proper review. I honestly can’t wait as I know they frequently change their menu and local sourcing. Beautiful and entertaining presentation as well (sorry for the dark photos, I didn’t want to disturb anyone with flash )

Elegant and amazing! This restaurant is are favorite for special occasions and makes for a wonderful date night. The food is simple in look but complex in taste. I’m blown away every time I dine here. We typically do the tasting menu with pairings of wine for the ultimate experience. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

We had such a lovely dining experience our first time at Vie. We ordered from the prix fixe menu and made sure to pick different choices for each course so we could try as much as possible. Each course was incredibly thoughtful with artful plating.The flavors were unexpected, but all worked beautifully together. The gnocchi was especially memorable and delicious. We loved having the fresh bread brought to the table between courses. We ordered the Gooey Butter cake for dessert and every element of that dish was divine. We ordered drinks and were especially impressed with the Cosmo and the 3PBO, which were both delicious. The service was also spectacular. Our server was helpful in answering our questions, our plates were cleared almost immediately upon finishing a course, our water glasses were always full, and the hostess even went outside to take a photo for us. Overall a great experience and looking forward to another future visit.

the service is incredible. the atmosphere is very cute. the wine is excellent. the food is only okay. I’d go here again (maybe for happy hour) and get a small plate and wine, but I wouldn’t pay for the full three course menu again. the food isn’t worth the price point.

If how you elevate “mundane” ingredients is the measure of a chef/restaurant/team then this place is elite. The beet dish alone is worth going back for. They’re beets. They’ve been everywhere and on every menu from Applebees to Alinea for the past 5-10yr. This was unequivocally the single best beet dish I have had. It was challenging, unique and exciting, while still being balanced and beautiful. That same thread follows through all dishes and even to wine pairings and cocktails. This is simply an experienced impressive team doing what they know how to do better than a lot of others. Wonderful experience.

Simply amazing! Chef Paul and his team deliver a truly remarkable experience at this hidden treasure in the Western Suburbs. The food, the service, the experience, all top notch. I’d recommend this as a destination spot for anyone in Chicago looking for an incredible night out, just 20 minutes from the heart of Chicago. Incredible!

We came in specifically for the burgers this time, and we were not disappointed. The cheese curds are amazing (BEER JAM!), and that shrimp dip… delicious. Only bartenders who have ever made Malort palatable, in the Devil in the White City cocktail. So good.

This is an incredible gem of a restaurant. From when we entered to the moment we walked out, we were smiling at the ambiance, service and food. The pictures don’t do justice. The Walleye fish came with an amazing tomato broth..so comforting. Deviled eggs, scallops, 3PBO cocktail and the desserts were all incredible. Will go back and strongly recommend others to go. We also met Paul (owner) and loved talking to him. Just a fulfilling experience.
