The Scene
A spiffy eatery in picture-perfect Western Springs, Vie draws a smart crowd of silver foxes, stylin' gal groups and daters. Bet those icy-cold aluminum chairs feel better in summer than winter. Service lags can slow your momentum.

The Food
Paul Virant's (Charlie Trotter's, Ambria, Blackbird) seasonal enticements are, at their best, a be-here-now explosion of flavor (e.g., an early spring cream of ramp soup with house-smoked trout and pickled ramps). Artisanal ingredients abound, and interesting preparations, too (the menu even bears a glossary). Perhaps a starter of browned, basted diver sea scallops with bitter-crunchy grilled fennel, orzo, and tangy meyer lemon vinaigrette? Or a comforting if untraditional entree of Gunthorp's farm chicken three ways (so-moist braised with grits, breaded and pan-fried with pungent garlic puree, or roasted and stuffed with preserved lemon and herbs)? Desserts like fluffy passionfruit cheesecake with tart mango sorbet hold up their end.
