4 of went here for dinner an a Saturday night. We were seated within a few minutes of showing up early. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was great, the only downside was the level of noise. It was difficult to hear one another. I'm starting to notice this more with restaurant lately.

Had breakfast here for the first time in quite some time. It was actually quite delicious. They actually made the hashbrowns crispy like I asked which so rarely happens. Amber took good care of us she had a good sense of humor and basically made it an enjoyable experience. I hope to come back soon.

Back visiting relatives & stopped in for her discount birthday meal. We all had the filets & they did not disappoint. Tender & seasoned just right. The chef made us sauted spinach (not listed on the menu) & it was yummy. Although quite on the spendy side, the food is perfection. Splurged for an excellent bottle of wine & thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Our service was superb. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out.

Pleasantly surprised by the out of the ordinary preparation of standard pub fare. The menu has something for everybody. I had the ribs that were meaty, succulent and served with a very nice sauce. They were accompanied by exceptionally well prepared fries. Crispy, fluffy and not at all greasy. It also came with a very nice cornbread that was very light and tasty thanks to the shot of pepper. I ordered a side of jalapeño cole slaw and it too was superb. Freshly prepared, crunchy and nicely dressed. My wife had the chicken enchiladas that were also very good. The chicken was plentiful and tasty. Truly a quality dish served with great black beans and tasty rice. Nice adult beverage selections and great, cold beer. Good value too.

This is a little restaurant housed in Standard Market grocery. It is very casual and you order and pay at the counter. Food is brought to you when its ready and there is a nice selection of soups, sandwiches, and entrees. Two best features: convenience if you are grocery shopping and you can bring wine in from the Wine Cube at the front of the store. If you buy wine at the wine shop, they can cool it, if needed, open it and you take it back to the Grill, stopping to pick up wine glasses at the counter. What's not to love about good, reasonably-price wine!

Reviewed By Taylor B
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?

Ate here on granddaughter's recommendation. Service was superb, and the food was very good as well. Ambience is nice, but nothing fancy. We will definitely return. Only reason it got a four was that it was a bit on the pricey side, which I guess I should expect in Hinsdale. It's more like a 4.5.Thank you so much for joining us at Vistro! We are happy to hear that you and your grandchildren enjoyed your experience and look forward to having you in again soon. We'll share your kind words with Chef Paul and the team. -Charlotte

Really a nice place for breakfast. It is bigger than it looks. We were a party of 7 on a Sunday morning at 11 and got seated right away. The place was full. Service was good and the waitress was very friendly. Great selection on the menu and things that were different. My daughter had Shauna's Sun Up that she really enjoyed. I had an omelette that was good too. It came with potatoes and an english muffin. The jam (which is a berry mix) is excellent and honestly, I wanted more bread just to eat the jam. Coffee was hot and plentiful and I like that they put carafes on the table. My only complaint is that the food was luke warm when it got to me. I'd still go back, there are plenty of other items on that menu I want to eat.

Enjoyed a beautiful early dinner at Fuller House. The outdoor area was very comfortable and relatively quiet for a great early summer evening. I had the pulled pork and the lobster mac-n-cheese. Both were delicious! My wife had the chop salad and my daughter the black bean burger. Both were great. Will definitely go back.
1. Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Convivial chain dishing up hearty portions of New Orleans-style seafood, steaks, salads & more.
Reviewed By Taylor B
Our west suburban friends who tipped us off to Parkers' Restaurant & Bar in Downers Grove also recommended the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in nearby Westmont. They're batting 1.000 in our culinary league. Located at 921 Pasquinelli Drive, off Route 83, north of Ogden Avenue, near the Oak Brook Mall, Pappadeaux's expansive and delicious and innovative menu reminds us of our not-too-long-ago vacation in New Orleans. We aren't into oysters, alligator, crawfish or octopus but the Pappas family, which opened their first restaurant in 1976, has built a chain that includes 90 locations in seven states and features drop-dead and hearty servings of New Orleans-style seafood, steaks, salads, soups and desserts. Based in Houston (most of the chain's locations are in Texas), Pappadeaux has only one location in Illinois--and this is it. Too bad. Because Illinois could use a lot more of this type of cuisine. Open at 11 a.m. daily, there aren't any other restaurants of its kind in the Chicago area. My wife and I started with gumbo with shrimp and seafood, classic Caesar salad and lobster bisque. For an entree, my wife couldn't resist one of her favorites, oven-roasted grouper with crab meat and parmesan asparagus. I chose grilled tilapia and jumbo shrimp with crab meat and green beans. But it was hard to pass up stuffed rainbow trout, American red snapper and shrimp and crispy Atlantic salmon and scallops. For dessert, we shared key lime pie and praline bread pudding souffle with vanilla ice cream. Next time I'll have to order the sweet potato pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. Or the creme brulee. I understand both are to die for. Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen isn't a hidden gem--it is located on always busy Route 83--and it doesn't come across as a chain restaurant. But for Chicagoans who are used to burgers, hot dogs and pizza, this New Orleans-style seafood is something special to add to your menu.
