VIOLÍ was initially inspired by DineAmic Hospitality Partners David Rekhson and Lucas Stoioff's travels throughout Greece, where they gained a deep appreciation for the natural Greek lifestyle. Following their journey, the hospitality group opened LÝRA in West Loop's Fulton Market and now brings the flavors of Greek cuisine, along with world-renowned Chef Partner Athinagoras Kostakos, to the Western Suburbs with VIOLÍ, located in Oakbrook.

VIOLÍ offers a fine dining experience featuring Mediterranean-inspired dishes, including seafood, and is perfect for birthdays, romantic dinners, or group gatherings. Whether you're enjoying brunch, dinner, dessert, or drinks at the bar, VIOLÍ is the ideal spot for any occasion, combining the warmth of Greek hospitality with an elevated dining atmosphere.

    The appetizer breads and spreads were tasty, but for the amount of spreads 4 to be exact, 3 pitas and 2 lavash crackers just wasn’t enough, so had to order 1 more order of pita and 1 of the crackers. While each one was $4s… this now meant the appetizer was $34. On average dishes are around $34, but range generally seemed to be around $28-$52. Drinks were $15+ for cocktails and around $12/ glass of wine. In terms of taste I will have to agree the deconstructed pastitsio was probably the best dish, but if you are into quantity the gyro dish seemed to be really large in portion and tasty. The beef souvlaki was… ok and the mousaka was fairly average as well. For dessert I would definitely try the bougatsa. It’s fun to see them break this bubble of crunchiness down and mix it with the ice cream. It’s a good sharing dessert as it is sweet with the honey and plentiful like little ice cream honey crackers. Best way the server described it to us was… it tasted like Frosted Flakes, haha and it did! An elevated version anyway. In terms of the service, it was very good and they were attentive. We did come at an odd hour which was 3pm, while theoretically happy hour time, if you sit at a normal table you aren’t allowed to have happy hour menu and the regular menu. Hmm… I thought that was a bit lame, but we had a party of 6 so it wasn’t like we were going to hang at the bar. This was our second time here. Was it as good as our first, I would say maybe. Mainly because first time we went there was only seating at the bar and the bartender was amazing at recommending their best dishes. Today since we had a larger group we decided to try a variety, while ok… I think sticking with the recommended items a good idea for the best experience. Also, would be nice if you could have the happy hour menu at the tables too. Thought that part was a bit ridiculous.

    The food was amazing! Our server knew the menu very well and made some great recommendations. The vibe was great. The bartenders know their craft well. My side car was one of the best I ever had. I can’t wait to come back again
