Vistro Prime — Restaurant in Hinsdale

My wife and I randomly chose to have dinner here on an impromptu date night Saturday night, March 15. I'm so happy we did! We started with an old fashioned made with Buffalo Trace and a smoked apple pie old fashioned. Both were good, although we preferred the regular old fashioned over the other. Next round was 2 side car martinis - one in original form and the other was their cinnamon side car. I asked for a cinnamon sugar rim and both drinks were fantastic. On to food, we started off with a wood fired pizza made with house made pepperoni and house made sausage, along with basil and fresh mushrooms. This was hands down the best pizza I've ever had! Then we had a risotto rice cake appetizer which was also unique and tasty. After all that we decided to share a roasted 1/2 chicken dinner which was like none other! Finally, we polished it all off with a baked Alaska and washed that down with an espresso martini.

I'm an impossible-to-please person and never give out a perfect 10 for anything but I have to say our experience here was a solid 9.9! Stephanie was our bartender (we sat at the bar) and her knowledge, expertise, and recommendations were all on point. I highly suggest you try this place out if you haven't already. Especially great for couples or those going on a first date. This place will impress her and score you points before you even open...

As always, Chef Paul’s restaurants are right on point. Katherine and I collectively have been to Vistro (Prime) a few times . . . and the food, craft cocktails, and atmosphere make for an excellent social and culinary experience. It was wonderful to see Patrick doing the Mixology while the other restaurant is in process of opening apparently this spring.

This time around, Katherine and I stopped by for a craft cocktail, and we ended up enjoying the happy hour oysters that were very good.

I have never offered a single suggested critique of Vie or Vistro.

The only request I have is for the manager of Vistro Prime is to check the barstools at the bar.

My barstool was wobbly, and it likely/ simply needs to be tightened up. I’m a handy person and have constructed and repaired barstools; so possibly, the hardware for some of your barstools needs to be tightened up and or repaired. They are beautiful barstools!

Other than that, I completely recommend Vistro Prime to every and anyone that receives this review and all my friends and...

Worst experience ever! Just moved to the area and since we had some family coming from out of town, we decided to make some reservations based on the reviews. I call and a lady takes my information and tells me that due to our party of 10 they would need to put two tables together, I agreed to it and she said I needed to call her manager to confirm. I called the manager, and as I started to introduce myself he hung up on me. I call back, and he tells me that I should not call during dinner service and to call back tomorrow in a rude tone. NEVER...NEVER had we been treated this way. Customer service is an art, and a manager should be an example to his/her employees. I will not be stepping foot in this restaurant EVER. Hopefully others will be...
