To Our Valued Guests and Friends:
In order to better serve you, on Monday, September 10, both Vie and Vistro will begin accepting online reservations via Resy. Reservations for Vie and Vistro will no longer be available through OpenTable.
We are always striving to provide you with top-of-the-line hospitality, from when you make your reservations to when you put down your dessert spoon. This move to Resy reflects that dedication.
Resy allows us to continue offering convenient online reservations, while adding new features for you (such as text confirmations and online tickets to special events at the restaurants), with the ultimate goals of streamlining communications and improving your overall experience with us.
A few things to note:
Vie | 708.246.2082 | email Vie | Vie on Resy
Vistro | 630.537.1459 | email Vistro | Vistro on Resy
If you have any questions or concerns at all, please don't hesitate to let us know. During this transition and always, we thank you for your understanding and support.
— Your Vie and Vistro Teams
The Vie team is honored to be included on Phil Vettel's most recent compilation of restaurants "essential to the Chicago dining experience right now," known as "Phil's 50" list.
“No serious discussion of great suburban restaurants can fail to include Paul Virant’s sophisticated, contemporary restaurant and his market-driven, exemplary menu. I’d visit just to sit at the bar (and I have); the cocktails at Vie are as good as I’ve had anywhere (and I get around).”
In its July 2018 issue focused on food and wine, Neighborhood Tourist magazine included Vie among its farm-to-table choices. We appreciate being included among such excellent company!
“One of the early adopters of the farm-to-table/DIY/artisan ethos, Paul Virant’s steady, elegant destination in the western suburbs still pulls it off exceptionally well.”
We are thrilled and honored to be included in Chicago magazine's "50 Best Restaurants" dining guide alongside so many excellent establishments.
We are ever-grateful to our guests and friends who have supported us for 14(!) years and to all of Team Vie for making it happen. Thank you!

Chef Paul Virant and the Vie team are honored to again be included in The Fooditor 99: Where to eat (and what to eat there) in Chicago, by Michael Gebert.
Vie is #13 on the listing:
““Not enough Chicagoans go to suburban Western Springs for Paul Virant’s farm-to-table food (even though you could make a romantic getaway by train there) ... . I’ve only been a few times myself, but Vie holds a disproportionate place in best things I’ve ever eaten anyway.””
