Bistro Vendôme

"Food was great, wine was ok for the price, service was good. Tried the cassoulet, which had pork, duck confit, and sausage. The duck tasted great, and so did the beans which had absorbed the flavour from the rest of the ingredients. Had the haut medoc by the glass, tasted to expectations, med plus tannin, some black fruit, paired ok with the cassoulet, nothing exceptional but typical of the price point. Bread was ok, could have been fluffier and with more flavour, butter was decent"

"Great French place full of local people. Everything we ordered was delicious— we especially enjoyed the mussels and the rack of lamb. Service was spread a little thin— our waitress never once refilled our wine, and our dishes lingered for longer than we’d expected. Also, and I know this is not the reason to go out to dinner, but the bread and butter were surprisingly pedestrian and beneath our expectations for a French restaurant. All in all good, would recommend."

"Such a lovely neighborhood French restaurant. Stopped in for dinner and the space is just so nice with friendly service. I didn’t have a booking so sat happily in the front but they do have a very nice terrace in the back - which I look forward to experiencing on a future visit. I’d been craving beef tartare and theirs was spot on. Accompanied by an artichoke salad and a glass of wine - of which they have several options - it was an excellent dinner."

"This restaurant was a mixed bag. I thought the food was very good. However, in my opinion, the service was poor for a restaurant in this price point. Part of the problem was rooted in how crowded it was this Saturday night. The crowd make the check in process chaotic. Getting a drink at the bar was slow. Then the service at the table was poor. At our table, a guest had to ask for water 3 times and it took about 25 minutes to get that water. Once we sat down, getting drinks from the bar was a lengthy process also. I get that it was very busy, but they seemed to have plenty of wait staff. The service improved substantially towards the very end of our meal when many guests had left and the restaurant was half empty. I imagine the service might be better when the restaurant isn't so busy. Since the weather was awful, nobody was eating outside. However, the food was excellent."

"Very accommodating. Had a res for 3 but our party always over orders so we usually need a larger table and space for our dishes. They sat us at a table for 4 with the agreement we finish up before the next res comes in. So thank you for the small things like that. The Food!!! Amazing! Served fresh, Hot and full of flavor. I slept on this location and I shall never let it go. This is a great place, calm setting, fancy interior, great vibes. Another must visit and eat location. Staff was so nice and very helpful. The seating in the back was very nice. I loved it. Had a nice breeze and plenty of shade with a very city view. All and all the food speaks for itself and the pictures do no justice."
