Amazing neighborhood gem. Excellent meal . Friendly service

We love to go to Vandome and it has always great food and are very friendly.

Great food. Great service. What more could you want?

Superb food, as always—authentically French, beautifully presented.

As always, the food was excellent. BUT, the service was terrible. I had been seated less than a minute when the waitress asked if we were ready to order. I said I haven't looked at the menu yet. She was back in just a few minutes asking again. The third time we did order. After she cleared our dirty dessert dishes she immediately brought us our check. We then told her we wanted 2 cappachinos. My friend and I came for a leisurely lunch. We didn't appreciate a waitress who was in a hurry to get us out. I've been to Bistro Vendome many times and never had service like this.

New Year’s Eve

Please learn how to render duck snd bacon fat. Most of my cassoulet massive amounts of ubetibl fat. So disappointing.

The welcome and the concern of the Maitre d' throughout was excellent, cordial and warm. My escargots were excellent, with the dripping butter garlic and herb delicious and succulent, enhanced by the crusty bread. I would have preferred a lesser rich sauce for the frog legs. They are of very fine taste and dont need think , heavy cream. The meat of the legs were juicy and tasty, and I nibble on them, minus the rich, creamy sauce.
My dinner companion's Oignon Soup was flawless but the hanger steak was a bit tough. The crispy French Fries was most satisfying still leaving us hungry for more. The broccoli was "al dente: keeping its full flavor and gorgeous green. Why does the server look as though he was in forced labor? The place is nice, the customers happy so a smile makes such difference.! Fortunately Mr. Fabrizio was everywhere to keep every single customer pleased and wanted. We were very gad to get our table and our apologies for late arrival due to a disoriented driver was amazingly and graciously accepted. Bravo bistro Vendome. and Happy New Year to all the equipe! K HURT Thank you

One of our favorite local places. French onion soup is so yummy!

Tasty, well-prepared French bistro type food. (We dined on Christmas Eve, so the menu was limited.) We weren't blown away by the food, but it did the job. The desserts were our favorite.

Our main problem was service: We seemed to have been forgotten by the kitchen and had to alert our server multiple times for our food. At the end of the night there was confusion over the credit card payment (we'd added a gift card in there) and that took some extra time to resolve. So in general, it was ... fine.

Overall very good, but with the need to eat outdoors, the restaurant needs to purchase much better heaters for their exterior dining. The current ones are not appropriate for winter.

A high quality, very French resto, just off the main streets (but easy to reach) with a very neighborhood feel. Excellent food and drink. Good service, lovely ambiance.

Outstanding meal and great service.

Great local restaurant with nice food and service One of our favorites especially when we have guests

Consistently good food and very appealing menu .
Good service - love the ambience

Neighborhood gem, every meal is absolutely wonderful!

The cassoulet is on the winter menu and it is outstanding and authentic. We love this restaurant in our neighborhood. It is reliably good and we feel at home there.

Very good food. Nice outdoor setup including heat lamps.

Best place in the neighborhood for a cozy outdoor dinner - even (and maybe even especially) on a cold night! The mussels are always great.

Delicious food - warm atmosphere.

Consistently excellent! Outstanding Dover Sole, module frites and other traditional French soul (sole?) food.

Bistro Vendome is always perfect!

When we are in the City we always try and make it to Bistro Vendome. Wonderful food. Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. And always friendly and impeccable service. A must go!

This is a first rate restaurant. Food is delicious and creative/ I had Coq au Vin
And another in our party had Cassolette. Very special! Service was perfect.
Bistro Vendome is one of a few UES restaurants with great food without great prices

I am never disappointed dining at Bistro Vendome. Food, service,ambiance are all above average.

Thanksgiving at Vendome was excellent. It was a traditional meal, but with the twist of good French cooking.

So fabulous and never disappoints. Order dessert. Yummy.

Always reliable! One of my neighborhood faves! Everything on the menu is delicious,

The French Onion Soup was outstanding. We will be back.

Great food and service

This is the first review I have ever written .
Asked to be seated upstairs because of our age steps to downstairs and noise at downstairs level request was absolutely turned down no accommodation. Since we book through Open Table we didn’t make request when we reserved.. They Could not find a suitable table for three people so we could hear and not navigate steps ( there were many empty tables)….So we had trouble hearing each other and the waitress…We really won’t bother with Bistro Vendome again.

Family dinner for my daughter's birthday was perfect. Service was friendly without being intrusive. Service was especially good considering they had to go back and forth from inside-- no delays or problems. Food was really good and wine list was reasonable in price and selection, even if it's not huge. We had duck and it was cooked perfectly (not easy). We also had bronzino and the kitchen handled a food allergy with no issue. The back patio was not open, but the street side shed had one side fully open and heaters above the table. It was tight seating in our corner, but comfortable and safe. Would definitely recommend.

The good news: the kitchen is now fully back on its game and delivered an excellent artichoke salad and a sublime beef bourguignon. The less good news: the service remains a bit amateurish, you have to beg for water, dessert orders and a check. Still a great place overall though.

This is a hidden Gem!

authentic french food with that authentic french feel
Food was amazing as was the service and ambiance

Great selection of food, top quality and great service

Only recommendation for improvement is the bread
They should serve fresh crunchy baguette not hard bread

Great service Great food!

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for ten years. Need I say more.

We enjoyed our meal immensely! The mussels were fresh and cooked to perfection. The chicken and salmon dishes were delicious. This is a neighborhood restaurant that will be our go to place!

Our new NYC favorite! Food, service & ambiance all outstanding.

The tuna carpaccio appetizer special was just ok, it was marinated in too much sesame oil and came with too much sauce on top of it. The duck confit, Dover sole, and profiteroles were all delicious!
Great food, nice atmosphere and the service was very friendly and attentive. Mature, 60 plus neighborhood crowd.

Nice gem in the neighborhood. This restaurant does not disappoint. The food is great, and the service attentive and friendly. Good quality and good value for money.
