    My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary which I noted when I made the reservation. We have been here many times before and never had any issues. Took 1/2 hour for waiter to come to our table when he did he did not tell us about the specials. He was very rushed. Didn’t ask if we wanted drinks. Never came to ask if we wanted another drink never came over to see how we were doing. When we left with no dessert, we Spoke to Maitre d and he said I will remember your face so when you come in next time I will take care of you. Next time?? How about offer us an after dinner drink?

    Had excellent dinner of swordfish and soft shell crabs sitting in the beautiful back garden. Wait staff were very friendly and allowed us to enjoy a leisurely dinner. Everyone made us feel very welcome and were attentive to any needs or requests. Have been there many times in all seasons and would definitely recommend. Can always rely on good food and service.

    Bistro Vendome continues to offer delicious, idiomatic French Cuisine at stunningly reasonable prices. That along with restaurant’s hard working team and most agreeable ambiance combine for a superb dining experience. Each time my wife and I leave Bistro Vendome we remark that that night’s dinner was more special than the last one there. Nous sommes tres, tres content!

    Yet another amazing meal with Chef Pascal and his team. Absolutely delicious from beginning to end. He has a winning hand with fish, foul, and meat. I am a sucker for the duck or lamb (spectacular) but occasionally must spring for the Dover sole meunière! The seasonal dishes are also outstanding. Generous cocktail pours and a well thought-out wine list complete the line-up but if you have room, go for a dessert! The apple tart is a favorite - and I rotate between that and the crème brûlée and the floating island. The service is attentive, informed, and very friendly. Pascal’s wife and partner Virginie runs the house and is a wonderful human. She is kind and solicitous with her guests whether you are a regular or a newbie. And, importantly, she keeps the dining room running with efficiency and grace - I have never had a wait between courses nor have I felt rushed. I don’t live in the neighborhood but I am more than happy to make the 1/2 hour journey regularly to eat superb and authentic French cuisine in a beautiful townhouse setting. You should make the journey too! Five stars across the board. Merci!

    This is one of our favorites! The service is always professional and friendly! And the food is excellent. Last night we took my cousin for dinner and the waitress must have noticed that we toasted happy birthday to her because when we ordered a dessert to share, it arrived with a lit candle and happy birthday written on the plate! How sweet is that!

    They're severely understaffed and service was awful. We called ahead to ask if we could sit on the terrace, and they said it was first come, first served. When we arrived and said we wanted to sit on the terrace, two employees discussed the situation for two minutes as though our request was a huge annoyance - the conversation was in French, so not sure what they said, but ultimately we sat on the terrace. It took two hours for dinner, and they never brought the tea I ordered, and we couldn't get anyone's attention to ask. At the end of the meal, when I said I hadn't gotten my tea, the waitress said she had asked some guy to make it but he was too busy. No apology.

    Fabulous Birthday dinner at Bistro Vendome. Food was outstanding - gaspacho with crabmeat, oysters, Dover sole and rack of lamb! The only negative was service. The servers were charming and attempted to help but they were overwhelmed by lack of staff (I think).

    Bistro Vendome WAS one of my favorite French bistros but on this occasion really fell short. The ambiance is cool located in a unique townhouse on the UES. But this night, the food was really off and the service was ok, until one of the servers accidentally spilled a sauce on me when delivering a dish to the table. You'd think they offer more than just an apology for the mishap. And for the price we paid, definitely expected better. And my partner who's French, wasn't impressed at all and felt some of the service not friendly at all. Perhaps an off night but unfortunately doubt will return anytime soon. With so many great restaurants in this city again at this price point, why chance it. But give it a try, perhaps your experience will be better.
