    I have previously gone to this restaurant and was Very pleased. Unfortunately, this is not issue this evening. When I arrived at my guest had not been there, and I sat at the bar, even though I had a reservation. They were unable to seat me upstairs. Instead, they offered me a table downstairs, which required me to walk 10 steps on more which for me after having both hips replaced was very difficult. The downstairs room was not only overcrowded and unpleasant, but very noisy . Although the food was good, when the person took my credit card to put it through, she came back and said it was declined, which was absolutely ridiculous. I directed her to resubmit it. She did after requesting my ZIP Code, and telling me that the system was down. Of course, the card went through, but she never apologized for her error and I asked for an apology, and she said sorry. This is not the kind of treatment that I expect to receive. Nothing at this was an overall unpleasant evening.

    Bistro Vendome is a lovely small restaurant serving wonderful food. If you miss the east side restaurant Jubilee you will love this menu -- serving much of the same fare. Very intimate and romantic on 58th Street in a brownstone. While it used to be a nice weekday treat, at $100 per person for appetizer/entree/one drink/tax/tip it is now reserved for only special occasions for me.

    This used to be a local place filled with regulars but now has an increasingly wider range of customers. It is a great bistro. Food is excellent—never had a less than excellent meal here. Service is professional with a staff of charming servers, most of whom speak French, all of whom want to be helpful. One owner serves as the manager, soothing any problem that may occur while her husband is the chef. There are almost always daily specials which are usually terrific. The meats, fish, mussels are done as you like them. the french fries with hangar steak is fabulous but so is the simple grilled salmon. wine list is far superior and more reasonably priced than you would expect from a bistro. Warm, friendly, a wonderful simple bistro menu—can’t be better.

    I enjoy. This restaurant very much but unfortunately Feb 14 was not a good experience! Misunderstanding in the food order ! The owner came to the table and told us if we wanted a better service and more time we should’ve not dine on the Valentine’s Day shoudd go another day which was very rude of her part to even suggest that ! I can’t go out too often to restaurants so I was very happy to be able yo go out snd celebrate Valentine’s Day at the restaurant which is my favorite place ! I hope the owner was a bit more sensitive and less upset ! We requested a table for 3 but on my way the person canceled I told them on arrival we were going to be 2 people! She was very nice to still give us the same table we try to eat faster so we can release the table.we stay one hr and 40 minutes! Unfortunately the owner definitely changed the feeling of been there that evening! I called yo restaurant to clarify that evening but she wasn’t there yet ! Will contact her again !

    It was VALENTINE'S DAY and Bistro Vendome went ALL out for a gala evening!! The lights were dimmed, there were small red hearts scattered on the tables, the staff wore some red and the prix fixe menu was excellent. I had not expected this at all and was pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and professional. Well done Virginia and your staff!!

    When we arrived the maitre d was at the computer and walked away, didn't even acknowledge us. Then he came back and said "Hi guys". We had a 5:15pm reservation, almost the first people there. They gave us the worst table possible where the staff had to constantly maneuver around the table. We asked for a different table and were told we had to wait until the owner came in to get the okay for another table. Definitely no wow factor in the food but pretty good price. The woman who took our order we only saw twice. Never asked how everything was and never asked if we wanted coffee with dessert. The men who brought the food and filled our glasses were very nice and conscientious. When we left, no one in the restaurant thanked us for dining there or even said have a good night. The owner needs to teach some of the staff some basic manners but maybe she doesn't have any either so it dripped from the top.

    It was okay. Nothing at all special. I think many “French bistros” in the city cut and paste the same menu and this is one such. Expected more. Won’t return.
