Nestled in the heart of downtown Western Springs, Petite Vie offers a menu curated with classic French dishes infused with Chef Paul Virant's signature flair.

    Really good experience with great food. Loved the free bread service which you never get anywhere anymore! Linguine and clams was a little too garlicky for me, but the mussels, lamb, small bites, and cauliflower gratin were fantastic. Service was great too.

    First time at Chez Joel, confirming it’s never too late to find something wonderful. Comfortable space, good cocktails, great food, I had the special rack of lamb, along with friendly staff and a low keyed atmosphere. Definitely on my list of places to return to.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary today and everything was exceptional! We're learning French and planning a trip to France next year and thought why not have an anniversary date at a French restaurant and experience French food for the first time. The food was very delicious and the service was amazing. Everything from the foie gras mousse, French onion soup, and the house potato special and trout was delightful. ☺️ The ambience was good. While the music being played is music I listen to, I wish they would've played music that made us feel like we were having a romantic dinner in France, not listening to a U.S. Top 40-like radio station that I would typically listen to on the way home from work. I also wish there was more room between tables. I was sitting down scooched all the way into the table to not be in the way and yet I kept getting bumped into by the server serving the next table and the diners. I'll be sure to reserve seats in front of the chefs cooking next time. Seems like we won't be in the way much and watching the chefs cook seems like an awesome treat! 😄
