Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Chicago Ridge

Love this restaurant. Chef seems to be pretty talented as preparations always appear well thought out and delicious. Service is great.

I am a fan of Paul Virant So I was dying to try his new restaurant. I brought my stepdaughter out of town also is a fan of Vie. We love the escargot, and the pike appetizers. Our entrées were also superb! We even tried a tart for dessert. Our service was wonderful, ambience was great and we were so pleased to be there.

Top notch! I made a resi for my husband’s birthday & had to move the time around a bunch of times bc of scheduling changes. They were very accommodating about it (which I was really surprised by- even I thought it was getting obnoxious at one point!). They got us booked, welcomed us warmly when we arrived and invited us to sit at the bar as they got our table ready (after all that, we ended up being early for our resi!). The wine was great and Andrew (bartender) makes a fabulous gin martini! I had the pistachio crusted grouper (SO good!) and my husband had the chef recommended Almond Crusted Mahi-Mahi (we’re pescatarian so…) which he really enjoyed. Our waiter, Patrick, was lovely and right on top of things too! Attentive without being overbearing or hovering and “Mr. on the Spot” when we did need something. It was a really nice evening— had a lovely romantic dinner! They even comped our dessert as a bday treat (some chocolate truffles with some sort of berry drizzle— just the right amount of sweet at the end of a delicious meal). We’ll definitely be back.

This is the first time my friends have been to this restaurant. We got there a little early and they sat us right away. Our server was absolutely amazing and was on top of it the whole time. We ordered appetizers and food and every single person enjoyed it and said how amazing the food was. For dinner for five people, the price was not bad. They even gave us two little plates for both our birthdays, which was very nice. When I go back there again, absolutely! 

As always, food and service were excellent! Spinach/artichoke dip & truffle fries are seriously amazing’
