Adults 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.

Every 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

Paul 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.

Vie 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!

Came 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?

I love a good suburban gem. Scallops are a must.

Bill 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). Read more

They burn kerosine on each table, for candles. It is so much, this place reeks of kerosine. It is a health hazard.

This is definitely worth the drive or train ride out there. Take the metra, three station is across the street.

Came here during chef week. Great pre fixe menu! Absolutely love the food-wine pairing. Neighborhood gem, indeed.

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

Sunday suppers are a time for families to come together. Have a large brood? Children under 11 pay their age. - Inspector

Ask for Pablo as your waiter.

Every meal's been a good one. And it's within walking distance.
