It's not uncommon to read rave reviews on Paul Virant's acclaimed suburban restaurant Vie in Western Springs, which is why Perennial (sans Ryan Poli who is off to open Tavernita) offered him the job as the new main man running and renovating his own vision. Naturally he said "Yes!" and tacked his name on the end to boot. Cuisine is centered on the "farm to table" concept, ideal considering Green City Market is right across the street. Decor is described as cozy, organic, and is if you're in someone's home. We're looking forward to the creative cocktails and highly anticipated pickled and canned fresh vegetables landing on our plate. Here are some photos of the new digs.
Gasp-worthy? We'll see. CG will be there tonight.
