I came here for dinner a few months back and I am still dreaming about the gnocci. This place has such a warm and intimate vibe, and the servers are fantastic! read more

Excellent service which, as we all know, is rare these days! I haven't eaten there yet but the cocktails are dynamite and they even gave my friend and I a complimentary shot of the genever to try. Great staff- I will definitely be coming back! :) read more

I just can't say enough good things about Vincent- Great place and really fun dishes- I finally let go of my Lamb Burger bliss and decided on the mussels and frites and OMG- GREAT! love the tin that accompanies it too- super cool- So rock on! read more

I went to Vincent a few weekes ago and loved it. I'm a huge fan of Jon Carl and HB and I am now a huge fan of Vincent. Our dinner was perfect, our service was oustanding and just the overall ambience of the restaurant is very relaxing, warm and cozy. Thank you! read more

The duck rillettes are awesome. Love the atmosphere on a cold winter night. Great waiter on both visits. I love the Dutch dishes that seem new and unique. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is awesome. Very consistent quality and service. If you like herring, this is your place! The frites are some of the best I've ever had and will definitely get the mussels again. read more

Phenomenal. Started with the mussels and Frits and moved onto the skeet. The waiter was amazing and comped us two of the best desserts I've tasted.. Chocolate peanut butter cake and a berry tart.. Will be taking several friends to this hidden Andersonville gem read more

Came here for my birthday and I was not disappointed! The service was great and our waiter recommended a fabulous cocktail for us. For the entree I got the amsterdam mussels and my hubby got the indonesian bbq ribs. Both dishes were pretty good. This is a great place to bring a date. read more

Vincent has great atmosphere, excellent service, and pretty good food. I ordered the oysters, which were served in a heaping bowl, and were quite good. My wife had the three course meal, including a great salad, a somewhat bland and lukewarm (was it supposed to be?) entree of mashed potatoes and beef, and some really great gouda dessert cheese. The corking fee was only $5, and service was excellent. Overall we really enjoyed our night, and would definitely return. read more

There are many reasons to love Vincent: the friendly, down-to-earth service, the generous portions, the cozy space. But, my favorite reason is the delicious flavors and unconventional combinations that make up each delightful dish. The four of us started off with the housemade charcuterie platter. While the flavors are approachable, the spread of head cheese, duck rillettes, and shrimp kimchi galantine is not for the weak-stomached. We polished the platter with every last dabble of grainy mustard. One of the tastiest and most creative takes on charcuterie I've ever had. Choosing the main course had been quite a struggle--everything looked appealing but sounded so unusual that I didn't know where to start. Thanks to our server's honest guidance, every dish was a hit. I haven't had wienerschnitzel since a memorable meal at Vienna's Figlmueller five years ago. I may not remember Vincent's pork schnitzel in five years, but it was still very good. The breading is delicately fried, creating a crunchy bite for the soft and warm pork cutlet. The schnitzel sits atop a stew of kimchi, clam and slow-braised pork shoulder--strange but delicious. The cheese trolley looked amazing, but after so much food, we were too stuffed to keep going. Price: $30-40/person (Entrees $15-$25) read more

My husband and I were at Vincent last night. We were SO pleasantly surprised by the welcoming decor and the attentive staff. Wonderful roasted garlic butter and baguette accompanied by probably the best cocktail I have ever had- the Amsterdamer had gin, mint, cucumber puree and a hint of kiwi. Amazing. Our server was awesome... super friendly and helpful in choosing our items. He described each of the cheeses thoroughly, without being pretentious for our cheese platter. Bonus was that it came with bread and butter pickles, flavored nuts, candied lemonOur entrees of trout and mussels were simply delicious. Hearty serving of trout cooked perfectly atop cheesy lentils and pickled onions with greens. Heavenly. My husband had the chef's tasting and he said that the mussels were some of the best he's had. Love this place and can't wait to go back. WOnderful! read more

The hubby and I love HB and have been quite a few times. Last night, we decided to try their sister restaurant, Vincent. It was a wonderful experience. The place itself is small with lots of ambiance. Very comfortable. Our host/server was helpful and completely on top of taking care of us. The bread was warm and served with a roasted butter and roaste garlic. Yummy! We started out with a half order of the provencal mussels. They were quite tasty. For my entree, I had the Ruby Red Trout with beluga lentils, manchego, pickled red onion, mint & watercress salad, beurre rouge. The taste explosion in my mouth had me doing the happy dance all night! He had the Pork Schnitzel with kimchi & pork shoulder broth, market veggies, clams. Also very delicious. All in all, the food was wonderful, the service was GREAT and we will defnintely be returning! read more

I love the waitstaff and the food is grand. The cocktails are very good and change on a regular basis. All of the waitstaff go out of their way to make sure you receive what you want. We have come several times and met friends and several times as a couple and ALWAYS had a terrific experience. One of the best cheese plates in the city. It is a relatively small place so it does get crazy at peak times so go early on a weekend or go during the week. read more

I would give it 4.5! Great mussels and beer! Laid back, but cool modern vibe. Played awesome 80's modern rock which I LOVE!

So delicious! The portions of mussels are extreme, so don't over order like we did. The drinks are creative and delicious! I will absolutely, without a doubt, be coming back more and more often. read more

I would recommend this place without hesitation. The service was great, cocktails interesting and tasty, & the food was spectacular. Go & enjoy. read more

Perfectly mixed cocktails made by the friendly bartender were just a taste of things to come. The service was great, but the food was nothing short of amazing. We started with the sea scallop appetizer which was incredible. For mains I had the grilled hangar steak and beef cheeks while my friend had the Amish chicken. The steak entree was beyond all expectations balancing a variety of flavors in a complex yet unpretentious way and the bite I had of the chicken was great too. This is a fine dining experience that delivered on every level. I'm impressed! read more

I have lived in Andersonville for 7 years and hadn't tried Vincent. Now, I realize how much great food and wine I've missed all these years. The food is AMAZING and so is the service. My partner and I indulged in four cheeses on our cheese plate, the Salmon and Mussels for our entree and the mousse and pound cake for dessert. We decided that this is the restaurant to have our wedding celebration. If you haven't tried Vincent, you are missing a hidden gem in Andersonville. read more

Extremely happy we came here last week. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered their version of an Old Fashioned - quite good. My husband had a beer. We started with a roasted beet salad with blue cheese panna cotta and the roasted bone marrow. I would have been very satisfied if we had stopped there. I ordered the curried mussels as my entree and my husband had the beef burger. We were both very pleased with our choices. No room for dessert but hope to be back to try the cheese plate and charcuterie plate. read more

Pork loin with deep fried pulled pork ball was fantastic. 15 cheeses to choose from for the cheese plate. Sampled the aged Gouda, the triple cream, and the Pyrenees. All were very good. read more

Wonderful people on staff and as customers! Food is 5 star and prices are better than reasonable. Send you a message to confirm and offer a phone number if you need to reschedule up to a half hour later. My wife and I will be there at least a month. Easy CTA from Rogers Park and, I'm sure, anywhere n the City. read more

Walking down Balmoral, I noticed the LaTache sign replaced with Vincent and was intrigued. After looking at the menu, I noticed the Dutch flair and was excited to try it. So we made our way there on Sunday, just days after the opening. What a truly unique and welcome addition to the neighborhood! First of all, the decor is just perfect. It reminds me very much of a typical bistro in Amsterdam, complete with drink board written in Dutch (great touch!). I loved the sunflowers and tributes to Van Gogh, as well as the photos of tulips and fiets (bikes). The special touches create a warm atmosphere. We were really pleased with the food we ordered as well, and stand outs include the mussels and frites, Amsterdam style, and the dessert, vlaai with house made strawberry preserves. Very tender mussels in a nice broth, and tasty fries with just enough salt and lots of dips to enjoy with them. The dessert, a free form tart with warm jam in the middle and vanilla ice cream on top, was the tastiest dessert I had in a long time. And I love dessert! Traditionally, it is not an overly sweet pastry, and Mike executed it perfectly, nice and yeasty and had me dreaming of the strawberry preserves. I also tried the mustard soup...it needed to be a bit warmer, but otherwise was very nice. They serve Bavaria beer, which is very hard to find in the US, and the wine list looked really interesting. I saw a cheese cart passing by, and unfortunately was too full to indulge, but I will save some extra space for it next time. Once the weather cools down a bit more, I can't wait to try the pea soup! I'm so happy Vincent got it right, and will be a regular. So many good things to try!! The owners are extremely involved in making sure everything goes smoothly, and should be very pleased with the results. Well done, guys! read more

Amazing!!! Vincent gets it oh so right!!! Service, food, atmosphere. A true gem in Andersonville. I started with a Beet Salad that had smoked trout. This isn't your parents smoked trout. This stuff was GOOD!!! Followed it up with mussels and frites that were to die for! Chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse with carmel sauce and flecks so salt....oh my!!! Thank God my Birthday is in January because I have another reason to go back to celebrate at Vincent! read more

Run don't walk to this fab place. Jon Carl has done it again. This is a great little spot that serves yummy & creative food. The pate & headcheese is the best in the city. Sambal mussels are to die for. Everything here is good. $5 cock age fee can't be beat. They also have really good cocktails here too. read more

On the smaller side, but great atmosphere and an excellent restaurant. We sat at a bar table and preferred it to the dining area. Delicious and adventurous food. Everything was well thought out and the cocktail and wine lists were robust enough to compliment the menu. Recommendations: try the Whiskey Smash, the Mussels (any) and for me the best part was the Earl Greay Panna Cotta! If you love the tea, you must try this dessert. read more

Great food and friendly Service. The bone marrow custard was amazing! Only downfall is that the tables are really close together and the restaurant gets very loud with all parties talking. So if you want a private and romantic date then this isn't the place for you. read more

Loved it - ask for a table in Brian's section. Best waiter in Chicago!

Amazing food and always a good time. The owner Michael is a hard working guy and the staff is super fun and nice while keeping a professional outlook. I love the gnocchi there and the drinks are pretty good. Ask about the cheese selection it's great! It is a great place for a date night or a friend gathering. read more

Excellent - great location and a small, but good, menu. Staff was wonderful and accommodating.

Amazing Bloody Mary's (perfectly spicy) and I recommend getting the cheese board with it. There was no wait for brunch and this was completely a "hidden" gem we stumbled upon. Cute decor inside, service was great, and food was even better. I had the cured ham sandwich and it was hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. read more

The Valentine fixed price menu was spectacular, $60 for two. Creative and elegantly tasting five courses. Starter was Oyster amuse, one fresh oyster with sweet apple mignonette. Followed by a beet risotto, absolutely incredible. Tasty ,deep and light at the same time. A light and almost champagne tasting dressing over frisée, arugula and shaved Parmesan cleansed the palette for an absolutely perfectly medium rare lamb chop, that melted in your mouth. Subtle seasoning made it a moment to savor. The dessert we ordered was an incredibly tasty and full bodied chocolate cake with a chocolate cream, pistachio brittle accent that was also light and pleasantly not heavy or filling. The overall experience made me feel like I was in the midst of true culinary genius. I have never felt this way with any other great meal that I have had. This was truly exceptional and unique. read more

Just left Vincent feeling very full and satisfied. The food was great! I chose the 3 course dinner and loved all three. The staff was warm and friendly. It is BYOB friendly and that is great if you are dining on a budget. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items. BTW, their chocolate peanut butter mouse cake with sea salt was AWESOME!!!!! read more

I have yet to have a bad meal at Vincent. The food is divine, the wine selection excellent, the service impeccable, and the ambiance comforting. I don't think I really need say more except if you haven't already been there go. Reservations are required on a Friday or Saturday, though if you're lucky and early enough you might be able to get a seat in the bar. read more

I went here last night for a friends Birthday. Food was good: I had the mussels. Service was good and our waitress had a lot of good suggestions and why she would suggest something which helped us make our decisions. The food was slow getting to us, there was 9 of us but it was a long wait. I'm a Vodka girl and there weren't very many selections of house cocktails so I ordered off the menu. read more

What a great resturant. I was a little reluctant to eat Dutch but I'm happy I went. Started my meal with the bitterballen which was out of this world. I got the Amsterdam mussles and my husband got the fried fish with snert. We finished both plates it was so good. Will definatly come back again, and again, and again!!!! read more

Lamb burger is one of the best I've ever had (I asked for it medium-well and it was perfect). The frites are also crisp and delish.

Vincent has cured their salt level. Back to 5 stars all the way!

I've never been to Vincent for anything but weekend brunch...not for any reason other than we just haven't yet. The brunch is spectacular though. The servers there are friendly and accommodating, it has a nice atmosphere, and the food is unbelievably good...we haven't had anything that isn't to die for. Admittedly, the menu is a little limited but when everything on it is interesting and delicious it doesn't matter so much. read more

Best dining experience this year. Great service, great drinks, and great food. Get the sambal mussels!

Mike, the owner of Vincent cheerfully accommodated my last-minute request for 9 at their Sunday morning brunch. This is my new "go-to" place in Andersonville. I had family coming in from out of town -- along with my cousin who is visiting from Italy -- and I was scrambling for a place to seat all of us. I wanted to impress them with an Andersonville dining experience and because of Mike and his gracious staff, that is exactly what happened. We were treated in a most hospitable way -- the food was delicious and the atmosphere lovely and conducive to conversation. 5+ stars for an all-around wonderful and relaxing brunch. It was such a nice feeling to be so well cared for by Mike and his staff! read more
