Service and people are great but the food is horrible. We ordered the truffle fries and they was a cup of salt on the fries. Sent them back and then there was 1/2 cup salt. Waygu burger- 1/2 cup salt, salmon was good but the veggies 1/2 cup of salt; chicken and steak frites - 1/2 cup of salt. Horrible - we should have sent all the food back. Never go. Horrible food - only seasoning is a cup of sale read more

I have been planning to check this restaurant out after I've heard great things from friends and I'm glad I did. They're open now for outdoor seating I'd suggest and they do accept reservations. I had dinner with a friend last night so we decided to check it out, walked in and got seated immediately and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We didn't order an appetizer but that "Mighty Mousse" sounds delicious it's chicken liver mousse, mostarda, onion and grilled sourdough. Some of you may think that chicken liver is nasty but no it isn't! I love chicken livers and it's good for you! So when I come back that's definitely something I wanna try. For our entrees my friend and I both got a burger and it was delicious the wrapping of the fries and the lettuce and pickles is so cute and it comes with a side of mayo. I asked for ketchup coz I like to mix both. The burger that i had was medium while my friend had medium well and it tasty, the bun was crispy and the burgers cooked beautifully and the fries was crispy as well. Inside of the restaurant it looks like it's perfect for an intimate dinner with a small group of friends, a date or with family but since with pandemic we have to eat outside so I'm looking to checking out the inside once they start doing indoor seating. The outdoor patio was so cute as well. The owner Michael was a pleasure too. It took me so long to check this place out but I'm glad I finally did and I'm definitely coming back read more

Vincent Restaurant - "That Burger From Thursday Sandwich" - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great food, service and ambiance. We've also ordered take out and it was piping hot every time. I haven't tried their drinks, but they look good. I also really want to try their brunch with a liver performance. On the pricier side, but worth it! read more

Great ambience and staff. Food is great if you eat meat / seafood, but they need more vegetarian options.

1st RED FLAG...they made a HORRIBLE Aperol Sprit! So, declined ANY further beverages for the table. 2nd RED FLAG...ordered appetizers for four...when they arrived...Tasted like they pour TWO tablespoons of salt over the food. Set back to chef it went FURTHER down hill from there. 3rd RED FLAG...all FOUR entrées were EXTREMELY salty so much I could even enjoy the company that we'd hosted. ****This entire experience was EMBARRASSING & would've been better off going to Taco Bel or Arby's! Same your money, time, experiences for any worthy venue elsewhere SUCH a waste of time. I'll NEVER return. read more

While I have lived in the neighborhood for years, this was my first visit to Vincent. Friends took me for brunch for my birthday. The brunch menu at Vincent is concise with both breakfast and lunch items represented. We started with a bloody mary which was very good. Fresh flavorful. A good amount of spice. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, a friend ordered the omelet and another friend ordered the steak and eggs. I am very particular about my eggs benedict. The English muffin must be toasted enough to remain crispy once assembled. The eggs must be perfectly poached and not too runny and not hard-boiled. I never hesitate to send back eggs that aren't cooked properly. Eggs are an inexpensive ingredient and they need to be perfect. Hollandaise sauce should be warm, subtle, creamy with a slight acidity. Vincent got it right. The steak was cooked perfectly and the omelet was really a french omelet. Light, folded, and delicate. All three dishes were winners and I would return without hesitations. A limited menu allows the staff to focus on fewer items and prepare them really well. Some other places in the neighborhood at the same price point that I won't name...but their initials are BJ has the B-Team for Brunch. I should not have to teach the staff what a properly poached egg is but I digress. read more

Service: Hard-working, attentive & friendly. When we were there this past weekend, the restaurant & bar were very busy and the staff was doing a great job. Food: Delicious food throughout. The fried squash & onion soup starters were VERY good. We each had the trout entree - also delicious. The seasonal cocktails were spot on! Ambiance: Very loud & very dark. Even with their renovation transforming the previous 2-room space into one large room, Vincent remains a small intimate restaurant. That works well - until the place fills up & management cranks up the music. Then the shouting starts. Then the lights dim low. Then the intimate mood of Vincent is reduced to the soft white glow of lights from patrons' iPhones, trying to read the menu. OK for some, but our table neighbors on both sides were complaining about the dim lighting & crazy noise level. read more

Great local quaint French-American restaurant with amazing cocktails! My wife and I came here for dinner and were very impressed, and pricing was very fair as well. Come for the drinks and stay for the live entertainment!!! read more

Walked in on a stormy night, and was immediately served the best cocktail of my life. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Literally...best Friday ever. Would recommend 100%!0 read more

Friendly positive waitstaff with excellent service. Fun drink menu and nice selections on the dinner menu. The burgers never disappoint and if you like scallops, mine were amazingly delicious. A place to go with friends, with family or even a date. read more

These days...I'm less about reviewing and more about honoring and hoping to be of service. How does that translate to a Yelp review so that someone reading this can use it? No f****** idea but here are my thoughts on Vincent: --- lovely, well considered menu (it's tight, it's limited, but that's the point) -- informed, professional service (these guys are good. really.) -- passionate new owner...if you close your eyes you can almost taste his labor of love. That's it, that's the tweet ;) read more

It pains me to write this as it is a super cute, and we had excellent service. But it was the food. Although nothing was bad , nothing stood out either. We started with the mussels, yes mussels again! It is one of my favorite things when done right. To me it just lacked. In seasoning, in garlic. To me to take the bread and soak it in the mussel au jus is everything, and this well it was not. Next we tried the brussel sprouts. Although I prefer them a little more charred than it was presented it was definitely the highlight of the evening. We also tried the bone marrow spaetzle. The portion size was perfect as this was super rich. Think condensed mushroom soup rich with spaetzles. All in all would definitely return for maybe a lovely cheese tray and a bottle of wine. read more

We love this place. We have eaten there twice. Once as a more formal date/night out and once just stopping in for beers and burgers. It works both ways. Super friendly. Great service, fantastic food and a nice selection of drinks. I am not an IPA fan, so I love that the have more than basic lighter beer options. On top of that, the setting is lovely. They clearly want you to enjoy the space as much as the food. It is a small space, so know that going in. If you have concerns about social distancing, this is probably not the spot for you. Even the outdoor space isn't huge. Worth the trip for any vaccinated. read more

I just love this place. The food is always spot on, the service is impeccable and warm, and the cocktails are excellent. You can really tell the owners care. Really happy they do piano nights on fri/sat. Would be great if they would do a sing a long showtunes every now and then. Keep up the good work! read more

I drank and listened to the singers. Can't comment on the food. Decent piano bar. New Orleans is better read more

Vincent Restaurant - a group of people sitting at a table - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really want to love this restaurant. The space is charming, the waitstaff is lovely and the drinks are great. But the food is really not good and basically priced like you're in NYC. I would totally come back and have drinks. And then eat elsewhere. read more

Big hint #1: half-price bottles of wine on Wednesday. Big hint #2: half-price muscles on Tuesday. I came to Vincent tonight with one of my friends we had a lovely waitress from California who had nothing but the sweetest of energy. Her smile went on for days. We started with the charcuterie. They really need to add something more to meat to this board. I know that I have had their charcuterie before where there was a lovely balance of nuts cheese meats with some bread. Our waitress couldn't remember that and honestly I'm pretty sure I've had it because that was one of the reasons why want to come back. Right now as it is the charcuterie is a bunch of different kinds of cured meats and you have to ask for toast points. We then went on to have a half a chicken that had a delicious purée cauliflower and some peppers. It was delicious. I highly recommend. After that we had some dessert which was an ice cream chocolate kind of concoction that was also equally yummy. I will definitely come back and was very happy with the care and kindness of the service of the entire staff. Great job! read more

This place seems to have gone downhill over my last couple of visits. Simple things are getting overlooked and overcooked. It's a shame because it's a beautiful space but this is officially a "fading star" kind of restaurant and there's lots of choices in the area. read more

I've been going to Vincent's for several years, and it is consistently a great place. Wonderful food, imaginatively, created, great drinks, and very friendly and professional staff. And an absolutely beautiful venue. In warm weather there is great outdoor seating. read more

I really enjoy coming here for brunch. Sunday funday brunch, then stroll the neighborhood after and continue on with some more DRANKZ at some of the local watering holes. What could be better. They take reservations, aren't overly packed and serve quality food with good service. Great place to come with friends where you can actually hear each other and converse. The chalkboard omelets are always fun and fresh. Pick from various ingredients and enjoy the goodness. The setting is intimate and enjoy the hardwood and tiled interior. They also offer outdoor seating in front of the restaurant. Defiantly a wonderful option anytime you are in Andersonville. read more

Thank you Yelp Eats for introducing me to such a fabulous restaurant! My dinner at Vincent was simply splendid! Our service was suburb! Loved the atmosphere and the interesting Dutch inspired dining options. My friend and I started off with the Pork bitterballen (fried dutch meatballs) for $10. These were extremely tasty and I would get them again in a second. We also order the cheese plate so satisfy my cheese obsession and it turned out to be one of the best I ever had. I sincerely wish I could remember which cheeses we had because they were all so good. The jam, apples, nuts and bread that came along with it were above par as well. I really need to note cheese names as I order these plates so I can become a cheese connoisseur! As my main dish, I had the Zuurkool Stampot Met Worst which was a sausage with mashed potatoes. Very tasty dish! I tried one of my friends mussels and am not a fan of mussels usually but these were quite good! We shared the panna cotta for dessert. Ah.Maze.Ing. I highly recommend this as your dessert choice! It was creamy and cheesy and everything gooey and good. Topped with some blueberries. I loved Vincent! Go with an open mind to new foods and flavors and you will walk away a satisfied customer. Plenty of metered street parking around the restaurant. read more

Great neighborhood brunch spot. Went there recently and caught a talented live combo called a Molly and Alex. Great time

I think it's good nice environment but a little overpriced. Love the neighborhood of Andersonville.

I travel a lot and work in the food and entertainment industry, I have dined at Vincent everytime I am in Chicago for Brunch on Sunday (the Broadway Showtunes Brunch is so fun), Dinner on Thursday and a Friday night. Wed & Thurs. are great for a quiet meal and the staff are so friendly. I frequently see that same staff everytime I visit so clearly management is doing something right with keeping the good ones. The food is elevated but not pretentious and everything is fresh. Other places in Andersonville not the case. Vincent is clearly the best restaurant in the neighborhood. The cocktails are some of the best I tasted that are well balanced with fresh juices and the price point is the same as any restaurant in the area. The only problem is they taste so good, it seems pricing but then you realize you had four or five cocktails. The wine selection is fantastic and unique mostly European varieties from France, Spain, Italy and Austria/Germany. Their glass pours or bottles I can't find in the store because our server informed us that they only work directly with distributors who have direct relations to the small vineyards. I had oysters on the weekend but when I asked for them on a Wed. they didn't have any because they said they only fly them in fresh on weekends. The bread was incredible which they make in house. I also love the live entertainment on Friday nights and Sunday evenings which is free and some of Chicago's top cabaret performers, some who I have seen perform in Palm Springs, on Crystal Symphony Cruises and in New York. My favorite go to in Chicago for a neighborhood, fresh made food and cocktails at a reasonable price point with very personable staff. read more

Here's a quick take on Vincent: Went here for brunch with two special ladies. Got this neat cold brew cocktail with butterscotch that I wish I had on tap in my apartment. The menu was awesome. Really hard to choose. I got a great brunch burger. Some maple goodness on it really did me in. Seemed like a fun place with a really interesting menu. Awesome neighborhood spot I hope to return to. read more

This place never disappoints between the ambiance, food, drinks, and service. I'd recommend Vincent's to anyone looking for a great burger or cheese board! read more

Vincent Restaurant - Burger and truffle fries - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here for dinner and was blown away by how good every dish was. Would definitely come back.

I love the sophisticated, chill vibe of this dutch-esque American bistro . Whether it's summer and you're enjoying an afternoon cocktail on the sidewalk café or during the holidays, the food is very good, the drinks are very good, and the service is great. I've had omelets for brunch, charcuterie and cheese boards (years before this trend took over the city like the blob), mussels (the Roquefort Pernod choice is killer), juicy burgers and frites, and crazy delicious scallops entrees. Value wise, it's priced for the market. The clientele matches the neighborhood, too, so I feel comfortable. While there are some interesting house cocktails, the classics are also available. After a couple of Rittenhouse Manhattans last time I was here, the rest of the evening got a little blurry. It's that kind of a place. Hours can waft by while you graze away an afternoon or evening. read more

Vincent Restaurant - Sausage and sauerkraut with firestick flowers from Modesto and a rye Manhattan - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not a great place to have a conversation over dinner. Music is loud and everyone is shouting over the music. Food is good.

So my girl lives close to this place, but we never tried it until the other night. It has a homey and casual, yet elegant, decor. We started with a couple whisky drinks and they were very great. We ordered the burrata to start, and it was delicious and a perfect serving size for an appetizer. For my entree, I had the cheeseburger (with a fried egg on top) per our servers recommendation and it was pretty good. She had the gnocchi and it was also delicious. Service was alright...but we could have gotten a little more eye contact and attention. Several times we asked for something or tried to order, and we didn't know that he heard us, as he didn't really give us a glance of acknowledgement. But would return with the item we requested. read more

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon with one of the worse traffic jams on LSD and we were late for our 1PM reservation. No biggie though because we called and had it pushed back to 1:30PM. But to our surprise, we arrived to an almost barren restaurant. The three of us had all of the attention to ourselves! As we were studying the brunch menu, we were pleasantly greeted by the chef and he allowed us to place an order of curry mussels with frites. It's usually only offered for dinner but he made the exception. The mussels were the highlight of our brunch! It was made with saffron, coconut, garlic, shallot, and lime. The yellowy sauce made it appear curry-like. The flavors, on the other hand, were the complete contrary. Yet despite the subtle curry and coconut flavors, this dish is not to be undermined. In fact, we loved the sauce so much that we wished it was served with bread to dip with. As for the brunch entrees, we ordered the dock worker, grilled lamb burger, and pork belly sandwich. The portions were huge but the contents were downplayed by comparison with the mussels. The dock worker came with a huge, freshly baked croissant and it was magnificent! The grilled lamb burger didn't have any other flavors to it other than being gamey. Although I love how it was served with frites! The pork belly sandwich wasn't as tender and juicy as I had anticipated. In summary, each of the three dishes contained enough calories and fat to knock you out cold had you cleared the plate of its contents. Of course, being the frugal and health-conscience people we are, we shared with each other and saved half our dishes to take in doggy bags. We left Vincent feeling sinfully pleased yet tormented by the amount of fat we had added on. It definitely wasn't a good idea to brunch with skinny jeans. read more

Vincent Restaurant - A meal for $12 - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Vincent is a great neighborhood restaurant with elevated food. The drink menu is inventive and ever-evolving, the food is delicious & elevated without pretension, and the service is great & friendly. Those that visit from outside the neighborhood or don't go often may not know it, but Vincent is also a great neighbor. Michael (the owner) is often at the restaurant greeting familiar faces and routinely plans fun events like pop-up suppers, fundraisers, and festive seasonal events. In the fall, they've hosted a deal for cocktails & pumpkin carving, which was a fun way to spend a weeknight - tons of people came out for it! Bryan is a very skilled bartender that is constantly whipping up some great new concoctions that rival more notorious cocktail programs downtown & elsewhere. I'm continually impressed by his skills, and thoroughly enjoy his sense of humor & friendly demeanor. While I've been going to Vincent steadily for over 5 years, I'm so impressed by how Michael and his team have handled the challenge of operating during COVID-19. Not only did Vincent pivot to offer to-go meals, but they've made meals available for free to those in need in the neighborhood - laid off hospitality workers and others finding themselves in need. I ordered a "Burger & Karma" (a burger + money to fund these meals for those in need) and the fries were absolutely fresh and crispy! This past weekend, we enjoyed their contactless dining service on the street and, again, I'm so impressed. We dined outside and our server was always 6+ feet away from our table, which was also 10 feet away from other tables. Food is brought out and placed on a designated, socially distant table for diners to collect, thereby eliminating close contact between staff and diners to keep everyone safe. It was $45 for a prix fixe 3 course meal and it was so good! Even better not having to worry if I was putting the server at risk because they didn't have to get close to us. Was it the same as the Vincent I've been loving for years? No, but it shouldn't be - we're in a pandemic. Michael, keep up the great work. You're a valued business owner in the community with a great business and a wonderful team. read more

I spent my Thanksgiving dinner there and this was my first ever visit. I was so impressed. Walked in strangers, left making new friends! Everything served was amazing.

Husband and I finally checked out this local neighborhood spot and our only complaint is how sad we are that we didn't discover it sooner after living in Andersonville for 10 months! Went on a weekend night and were seated right away at a high top bar seat looking outside. Our starter cocktails were very good though I cannot recall the names. We then switched to white wine by the glass with dinner which was equally pleasing. We ate: - Radish Board: beautiful presentation, but would not order again. Just didn't love it. The radishes had little flavor and were soft, and the dip served with them was not enjoyable. The butter and salt were nice when added together on a radish, but I still would not order this dish again. - Mussels + Frites, Pernod option: these were delicious! Wonderful sauce, especially when soaked up by the perfectly cooked warm bread served with dinner (which we got lots of - thank you!). Just be warned, this is a richer dish because of the sauce, and it will fill you up. Will try the White Wine option next time. Aioli served with the frites was on point! - House Gnocchi: this my friends was divine. Kudos to the chef! Bursting with flavor, melt in your mouth gnocchis, wonderfully balanced. I cannot wait to return and have this dish again. Our experience was made even greater thanks to the fun, friendly staff. We had many jokes with our waiter and everything was served in a timely fashion. Keep up the great work Vincent! read more

This place is cute and quaint. Our server was wonderful and the staff is very friendly. My husband got the steak pasta and I got the Wagyu beef. His pasta was amazing! So good and a little spicy. My $38 steak was...less than. It was incredibly chewy and the olives tasted like someone had marinated them in maraschino cherry juice. Not appealing. We also got the bread board which is good but it's also 4 pieces for $18. The bread comes from Phlour which is a bakery on Bryn Mawr. You can get the same bread but an entire loaf for $4. Overall this place is fine. I would recommended the patte (though I didn't have it but almost everyone around me did) and the cocktails. 10 word pitch: This place is great for cocktails and apps to share. read more

I went to Vincent with my family for an outdoor socially-distanced dinner and was SO impressed with their setup. You make your reservation and choose your dishes from their prix fixe menu beforehand. Once you arrive you simply find your table and they bring your orders to an empty table over 6 feet from where you're seated. Social distancing was maintained beautifully for the duration of the meal. Of course, it was also DELICIOUS! I ordered a split pea and strawberry salad, gnocchi, and chocolate pot de creme; each course was tastier than the last. The house gin and tonic was top notch as well. This meal was absolutely worth the price tag and I can't wait to return. read more
