Myself and my girlfirend wen to Vie restaurant with our husbands yesterday, and were a bit disappointed in some of the dishes. I had a wonderfully prepared sturgeon with potatoes and a ramp vinaigrette and lemon mayonaisse. It was delicious! Last time, I went to Vie ( a few months back), I had an outstanding ""wood-grilled fluke with shaved radishes, herb aioli, this nice ""brothy sauce"" which contrasted nicely with the aioli, and house-made pickles"". It was heaven. My girlfriend ordered a dud, however. The walleye pike was very mediocre, and came with a boring accompaniment of braising greens and potato chips! I tried her dish and truly felt sorry that she was experiencing such bland flavors, especially since my dish was so nice. Our husbands, who we have to drag by their ears to go to a nice place (they prefer hot dogs and beer), enjoyed their orders of strip steaks. We ordered gnocchi as an appetizer, and it was good, but far from stellar like the gnocchi we ordered on our last visit (which came with fines herbes, parmagiano regiano, and wild mushrooms, which was amazing!). This time it just came with peas and lacked any dazzle. The foie gras was excellent though, as always! Last time, everything we ordered was great, but this time, there were a few dishes that ""missed the mark."" \r
Pros: Good food, good service
Cons: some dishes missed the mark
