We went to
Vistro in Hinsdale for Natalie's mother's birthday. Vistro is a more casual offshoot restaurant of Vie in Western Springs. We have been to Vie a few times and love it so we wanted to try this.
 |
| Fried Dill Pickles |
Tempura Fried Dill Pickles - with garlic and dill mayonnaise, Natalie's mom had never tried fried pickles so we ordered this. These were good - light and since they were tempura fried and not just regular fried
 |
| Toasted Ravioli |
Toasted Ravioli - ricotta, marinara, parmesan. Wasn't as good as the fried pickles.
 |
| Mac n Cheese |
Mac N Cheese - from the wood oven. Good mac n cheese. Better than expected. Nick thinks mac n cheese in restaurants is overrated but he enjoyed this.
 |
| Pork Milanese |
 |
| Skirt Steak |
Pork Milanese - polenta, peas. Nick preferred this dish to the other entree. The flavors went really well together.
Skirt Steak - fries, roasted carrots, marinated mushrooms. The steak was a little dry but the accompaniments were tasty.
Cookie Monster - salted chocolate chip cookie, the salt on/in it made it super tasty. Even though it was just a cookie, it was pretty amazing.
Final thoughts on Vistro:
Food - comparable food to Vie, but a lot more accessible and casual
Service - good service; we received some great recommendations from the waitress so that was helpful
 |
| Cookie Monster |
Atmosphere - Casual atmosphere in downtown Hinsdale. Could go here for either a fancy or very casual experience.
