If you told me I would find a sophisticated, French-inspired upscale bistro tucked away in Surprise, AZ, I might have been skeptical--but Vogue Bistro completely blew us away! The Exceptional Drinks: The absolute star of the show is their bar program. The cocktails here are masterfully crafted, inventive, and visually stunning. From perfectly balanced classics to unique signature creations, the mixology rivals top-tier city lounges. The drinks elevate the entire dining experience and are worth the trip alone. The Vibe: Stylish, intimate, and relaxing. The interior aesthetic is sleek and upscale--making it the perfect backdrop for sipping great drinks and enjoying a night out. The Food: Incredible attention to detail. We started with the French onion soup, followed by the Duck Two Ways and the Chicken Cordon Bleu. The Meatloaf is my favorite! The Service: Impeccable. Our server was attentive, and gave fantastic menu and drink pairings that made the evening great! Finding fine dining and craft cocktails of this high caliber out on the Westside is a wonderful surprise. We will definitely be back for more! read more

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate two birthdays, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. Before the change in ownership, we had visited the restaurant four times, and the food and service had always been outstanding. Since the ownership changed, we have visited twice, and unfortunately, the quality, taste, and overall experience have continued to decline. They have completely changed their menu, and the food did not arrive at the same time. Some dishes were lukewarm, while others were hot but dried out. We mentioned these issues to our server, who apologized, but the manager never came to our table to check on how everything was. It's disappointing because we really wanted to continue supporting the restaurant, but based on our recent experiences, we will not be returning. read more

Nearly two hours to get food. It was 1 hour 4 min before the starters came. They had 6 tables. My order came completely wrong and the waiter blamed me saying I pointed to the bacon burger- which was not the item he brought. I ordered the burger that comes in a lettuce wrap with avocado and even said the name when I pointed. Food that we did get was subpar. For $40 a person, I don't understand why anyone comes here. Owner messaged me talking down to me and making excuses that they were busy and that I should have asked for a manager. To be clear, I did ask for my meal to be fixed. He brought me out a plain patty on lettuce, not the actual burger I ordered. After two hours, I was just ready to be done. Extremely unprofessional to not listen to the feedback he's getting in every review and fix the slow service issue. read more

Vogue Bistro - French Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Sadly Vogue Bistro is no longer the Vogue Bistro we've known for years. We stopped by today to celebrate a birthday and it was extremely disappointing... We are sad and we will forever miss the Delicious Food Vogue Bistro served once. Martinis were delicious as always, tuna tower was disappointing (new plating, smaller portion and the avocado was damn near a memory). Looked around and saw how other plates were served and we decided to ask for our bill and head somewhere else. Under new ownership and it shows. Plates used to be hardly and delicious and now all you'll get is a fine dining price and disappointing meal. Im not sure at this point we'll ever make it back again. You'll be missed Original Vogue Bistro. read more

I have loved this place for over 13 years! The new owners are really helping to step it up! Still the same staff we all know and love, but now the food quality is So much better and the place as a whole has totally leveled UP! We can't wait to go back, there are so many new dishes we can't wait to try! I love how welcomed we always feel and how kind and attentive the new owner is. Try Vogue if you haven't already it's a GEM!!! read more

Vogue Bistro - This is a Vogue Martini. A dirty martini with Gorgonzola stuff olives. - French Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

We bookmarked this place after seeing people rave about it on Facebook back when we moved here 4 years ago. We finally went and I will say it was pretty disappointing. You can tell everyone there are local regulars. Probably their go to weekend dinner spot. It was odd they were playing Patch Adams on the tv screen. The smell was off. Kind of like old seafood. Our server was a nice guy and our busser, now she stood out! I am horrible with names so I can't remember their names. But the busser was so full of personality and loved her! Everyone else there just seemed like robots with zero personality. We were sat right in front of the kitchen where the gals just stood there to run food out. Definitely a lot of employees for a small place. We wanted to start with the cheese fondue then got told it's no longer on the menu. Our waiter recommended the kettle chips. Husband isn't a fan of Gorgonzola so he suggested doing half parm cheese half Gorgonzola so it worked out. Chips seemed freshly cooked. Not greasy. Served with what tasted like buffalo or franks red hot sauce. It all worked and tasted good. I got a side caesar salad and I must say. That wasn't a Caesar. It had sad iceberg lettuce and a dressing that was on the sweet side. Kind of reminded me more of a thousand island or creamy french dressing. Not worth $8. Meal wise we each ordered the vogue steak which was basically steak and fries. Fries were hot and crispy. The steak was supposed to be a prime grade flat iron but it was tough. The portion size was actually comical. It looked like they took a normal piece of steak and cut it in half. Gave half to me and half to the husband. I even asked the waiter if they split one meal for us or if it was 2 meals. He said it was 2 meals and that was actually the largest steak they had. Last we had dessert. They were kind enough to treat me to a dessert for my birthday. The creme brulee was good. It's weird to me when it's served warm. But it was good. At the end of our meal someone next to me ordered the fish special that I considered ordered. But I was glad I did not. Being a huge seafood lover, the smell coming from that fish was horrible. I honestly got sick to my stomach and had to get out of the place. Not sure why it was so foul. Overall. I don't think we will be back. We didn't seem to fit in with the crowd of retired people. Service by the waiter and busser were great. read more

We celebrated our anniversary at Vogue Bistro, and it totally delivered that "fancy but not fussy" vibe. The night started strong with a silky Lobster Bisque that could've easily doubled as a cozy blanket -- rich, smooth, and impossible to stop eating. For entrées, we went classic: the Chicken Cordon Bleu (basically the world's most elegant stuffed chicken nugget -- crispy outside, melty ham-and-cheese inside, total perfection) and the Duck Two Ways, which looked and tasted like something straight out of a French chef's daydream. Both plates disappeared embarrassingly fast. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, our waiter surprised us with an Apple Tarte Tatin à la mode to celebrate our anniversary -- warm, flaky, drizzled with caramel, and just the right amount of "wow, I'm definitely eating this even though I said I was full." Service was on point, the atmosphere was romantic without being snooty, and the whole night felt like a little celebration wrapped in butter and good lighting. Pro tip: Get the soup, order something that sounds French, and always say yes to dessert -- especially if they bring it out for free. read more

My wife and I go here when we are looking for something a little different as we absolutely love the place. The new owner has done some upgrades to the restaurant as well as adding some new dishes to the menu (must try is the new potato leek soup). Drinks are fantastic and 1/2 off bottle of wine on Wednesdays are always great to try something new , and they even cork what you don't drink to take home read more

Wonderful staff and food is delicious!! Such a welcoming atmosphere. It is a neighborhood treasure.

Vogue is a true local gem! They have great food, a cozy atmosphere, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the people! Heather (bartender) is a local legend. I defy you to find a better martini anywhere. Dana and Jason are also two of our favorites. Always so friendly and attentive. I love coming here!! read more

Always great service and food is superb here The staff is happy to make recommendations. Can be busy on the weekends. Chocolate martini was excellent. read more

This is an a wonderful place for a nice dinner. They have a great happy hour as well. I hear. Everything look good and service was impeccable. The patio had great ambience. They retain their workers for many years some since the place opened. We ordered the beer cheese appetizer and they gave us so much cheese. We had to order more bread to go with it, but they gave that to us complementary. We did not want to waste one bit of it.!! We went there after a ceremony and so we were celebrating. The Prada, my favorite drink in a long time. A mix of grapefruit and pomegranate martini. I can still taste it. Anything you order will be awesome. It's far from her house, but I definitely will be back at some point. Try the pretzels they're hot and wonderful part of an appetizer. The bruschetta was different than I thought it was going to be again very tasty and well presented. I love supporting Mom and pop restaurants. This is definitely one worthy of much support. read more

We went to Vogue under their new ownership on 7‑2‑26. We've been going there for 15 years, and unfortunately this was the most disappointing visit we've ever had. We ordered the appetizer tempura calamari and scallops. It arrived as one large fried clump, very unappetizing, and we had to pick through it to find any calamari or scallops. I ordered the special of the day, prime rib. I requested medium‑rare, on the rare side as prime rib should be. It came out extremely overcooked and tough, even difficult to cut. I didn't eat any of it. On the brighter side, my husband's salmon was cooked perfectly. However, it was supposed to come with a side of risotto, and there was maybe two tablespoons on the plate. The bartender, Jayce, did his best to make up for the food. He didn't make excuses and handled the situation professionally. We did receive a complimentary dessert. The new owner was present but never stopped by, even though the food was returned uneaten. The restaurant itself looks worn down--paint peeling, menus dirty and worn. Perhaps the new owner is aware and plans to restore the quality and ambience Vogue was once known for. Until then, we won't be back. We'll likely check again in six months to see if improvements have been made. It's definitely not what it used to be. read more

​I have been a loyal patron of Vogue Bistro since day one in 2008. It hurts me to write this review. I have happily spent thousands of dollars here over the years because the standards were impeccable and the atmosphere unmatched. Unfortunately, under the brand-new (third) ownership, those standards have plummeted. ​Let's talk about the three-time award-winning meatloaf. It used to be untouchable--it put my own homemade meatloaf to shame. Tonight, I was served a bone-dry, rectangular block of seasonless ground beef with the incredible Sherry reduction sauce completely missing. In the past, the expo would have never let a plate leave the kitchen looking like that. Sending out a completely dry meatloaf with no sauce or gravy should have set off immediate alarms, but it didn't. When I pointed this out, the kitchen sent out a bizarre "fancy ketchup" concoction that made absolutely no sense. It is baffling that a new owner would take an established, award-winning recipe and replace it with such a massive downgrade. ​The bar isn't faring much better. My blood orange cocktail (The Saint Laurent) should have just a hint of vanilla, but it tasted like melted ice cream. I know exactly how these are expertly crafted thanks to years of sitting with Heather, the incredible head bartender. She wasn't there tonight, but to the current bartender's credit, he handled it perfectly. Even though he was clearly frustrated working with a modified recipe the waiter gave him, he bit the bullet and adjusted the drink to make it as close to what it's supposed to be as he could. ​The food and drinks are only half the problem. The staff here is still absolutely wonderful and doing their best. However, the moment the new owner (or the gentleman I perceived to be the owner) walked out, the atmosphere instantly became uncomfortable. You could feel the room get tense, and the staff visibly tightened up like they were in a hostage situation. ​It is the starkest contrast to the original owners, Aurore and Roman. While Aurore's presence lit up the room, Roman ran the front of the house with a thick accent and a warm personality that made you feel like family. He made sure you felt like you truly belonged there. ​Now, the dynamic has completely shifted. It's obvious the staff knows these recipe changes are a disaster, but they clearly don't have a voice to push back. The whole experience felt like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where Gordon Ramsay needs to walk in and wake up an owner who thinks their new recipe is better than an award-winning one. ​Having the history I do with this place, it is sad to see it slide like this. My roots in Surprise started here, so I am going to keep coming back and checking in. I want to continue supporting this establishment, but I will keep speaking up until they right the ship. Put the ego aside, bring back the recipes that built this place, and listen to your phenomenal staff before it's too late. read more

Nice atmosphere. Food is usually good but not always. Wednesday night wine is half price. Couples special on Monday or Tuesday is a very good value. Friendly and attentive servers. read more

We made a reservation for 6:30pm but they couldn't seat us until 7pm. The restaurant has a west facing exposure so it was uncomfortably warm inside. The wait staff was innatentive but friendly/efficient enough one we could flag them down. I had the shrimp risotto and my wife had the carbonara. The shrimp was over cooked and rubbery and the risotto had the consistency of rice pudding. The pasta in the carbonara was sitting in a sea of liquid with minimal bacon. The wine & beer were okay. Bearing in mind the resort prices they are charging we'd hoped for a much better experience. I definitely couldn't recommend and won't be returning. read more

Matt our server was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and attentive. We had Lunch on the Patio, got to the restaurant around noon and there was plenty of open seats. I had the Salmon BLT and it was fantastic. I like the whole feel of this establishment and it's been way too long since I've been there, I will have to return for dinner, soon. read more

What a change! They are under new ownership and have a new menu. We tried this place years ago and were not impressed. Last night we were very impressed. Food was amazing. I had the burger and I didn't know a burger could taste that good. My wife had the salmon and loved it. The service was over the top. Our server was Josh and he made the evening very memorable. We will be back. read more

Food was excellent appetizer was the best waitress could've been a little bit more attentive

So So visit. My partner had salmon which was good. My Vogue Steak ordered as medium rare but came out as medium WELL. Also, it was covered in chimichurri rather than a wine reduction that I remembered fondly. Very forgettable read more

We dined here for lunch for the first time. Nice to find a non-chain restaurant. Nice atmosphere although a bit dark inside. We chose to eat outside, which was a nice space. Our server Kristen was phenomenal. We ordered the Vogue Burger 3.5/5, Salmon BLT 3.5/5, and Truffle Fries 4/5. We are not big fans of pretzel buns. Nice wine by glass choices. read more

Five stars relating to service. Service is great -- especially Josh. Flavors and techniques have always been very good albeit not served as hot as I'd like. I've had several cold/cool dishes served that I had to send back. Let's see if the new owner can get temperature consistency in the kitchen. read more

I try to be positive with my reviews with over 90% being 4 and 5-Star reviews. So I do not take this one lightly. I made a reservation for my 44th wedding anniversary. I wanted something nice, something different, so I thought Vogue might be that something. I stated on my reservation that it was my wedding anniversary, hoping for something special. There were several young ladies that seated us. We were placed on the bar side of a partition. That partition block the lovely view of the dining room windows. Rather than the nice dining room view, we were treated with the bar view. I explained to the hostess that it was our anniversary and asked for a dining room table rather than a bar table. She quickly rebutted, "that is the dining room". I asked if we could be seated at one of the open tables in the dining room and was told "sorry, those are reserved". Yes, I reserved as well. And that was it, she was done with me. My anniversary experience was depressing and a 2-star experience. The food experience would have normally been 3-star review, but it was not a good food night either. I saw a beautiful looking lamb shank on Yelp and while not on the menu, they do have a daily chef's special. Maybe I'll get lucky. Our server came by and asked if we had any questions. I asked what the chef's special was and was told that there wasn't one. That was disappointing. In the mean time, the guy at the table next to us ordered the Lasagna. You guessed it. No Lasagna. He then walked away without taking our drink orders. When he came back, I ordered the Filet Mignon and my wife order the seafood pot pie. The Filet was a perfectly cooked med-rare and was tasty, but tougher that I thought a Filet should be. With that, I added the lobster bites which were among the driest that I've ever had. Also, I did not like the potatoes Au Gratin at all. My wife's seafood pot pie was so fishy that she hardly ate hers. We'll, there's still dessert, right. There was a Creme Brulee that I was dying to try. Well, wouldn't you know, the oven is broken and there is no Creme Brulee. So we got the cheesecake which wasn't bad, but disappointing since we had our hearts set on the Creme Brulee. The steak and french onion soup was good, but otherwise the depressing nature of our anniversary dinner wiped out what little positive there was in the evening. There was zero consideration for our special evening. Oh, and the two tables that were open that I was told were reserved, still empty when we left. read more

Okay I'm not sure how to begin. Air conditioning wasn't working so it was uncomfortable but can't determine my whole review. It's just unfortunate. It was was 110 degrees out this day. It smelled old. I'm so sensitive to bad smells in a place where fresh food is being made. There aren't a ton of options for people who are super clean eaters. Yes, they have salmon but I'm just weird about fish in the desert Now the good stuff We ordered spinach salads as it was too hot for a hot meal My friends had the salmon, the fish pot pie and they loved it. Said it was truly delish. Our waiter was good when he was at the table. Wine took a long time to get to the table. Took a very long time to even be able to place an order. I don't know if he was the only waiter in the whole place. I think people will like it but for me it was an "eh" experience. We wouldn't go back on our own or if we were invited. read more

We were very disappointed in this restaurant. Caesar salad had no flavor just oil and water! I chose pasta carbonara. Pasta was cold, extremely black peppered and dry. Waiter took it back to warm it up and returned with it all stuck together and clumped butter on the plate. Two other people in our party had the duck, which was undercooked and tough. One person had the meatloaf which was nothing special and au gratin potatoes dry not creamy. We won't be returning read more

We went into Vogue a few weeks ago and found out they had changed their menu. They removed my favorite item, the Frido Miso, and changed the onion soup. Why would you try to improve on perfection? I ordered the ravioli and received only five or six pieces for $27. They were far too salty and just not good. The appetizers we ordered were also very disappointing and overly salty. I'm a salt person, so if it's too salty for me, that says a lot. I've been going to Vogue for years and have never had a bad food experience. Sometimes the service is slow, but the food always made up for it. Because of the prices, I'm hesitant to go back and give it another chance. With such a dramatic decline in quality, I'm sad to say I can't see this place staying in business much longer! It's like they're trying to put an Italian spin on it, but Vogue is FRENCH, not Italian. It's really unfortunate. Please change the menu back!! read more

This is a hard one to write. I'm still processing what happened and why. My wife and I have been to Vogue many times, and the food has always been solid and service good. We saw that the special this weekend was Beef Wellington, one of my favorites, so we invited another couple to go out with us to enjoy this dish (I was the only one in our party who has had this previously). We made an on-line reservation, and had no choice other than "patio". We thought this would be fine. When we arrived, we were led to a table in the front corner of the patio area, one of only two that were in the full sun. The temperature was relatively mild - 84 degrees, but anyone who has spent any time in the Arizona sun knows how hot it can be regardless of the ambient temperature. There were many open tables on the patio as well as in the restaurant, so we asked if we could have a table that wasn't in the full sun. We were told "no". When we asked for a reason, we were told that others who had made reservations had specifically requested the other tables in that area. Since the patio was 80%+ empty at that time, this seemed a little strange - I'm sure that they stagger reservations. OK, what about the tables that did NOT have "Reserved" signs on them? No response. Asked again...no response. I then asked if there were shades that could be pulled down or anything else we could do to make the table more amenable to a decent meal. All I got was "no"...followed by "you can wait until the sun goes down" - which wasn't due to happen for well over an hour. By this time our group had decided that we would go elsewhere for dinner - we had no desire to sit in the full sun for the entirety of dinner. I asked to speak to a manager before we left so I could convey my disappointment at the situation. My interactions with him made me feel worse about the situation because of his attitude. We had a low key, non-emotional discussion - but apathy just oozed from his pores. He reiterated that the tables on the patio other than "ours" had been specifically requested by others. Apparently he felt that simply echoing the "company line" was sufficient, because that was all I got from him. No offer of any alternate solution - maybe to check and see if something might be available indoors....or suggest that we sit in the bar? Absolutely nothing - just a deadpan stare that told me he'd like me to leave. You'd think that a manager at a mid-level restaurant would at least offer something like "I'm sorry we can't accommodate you" or "please give us another chance in the future". Nope...nothing. So, I informed him that it was unfortunate that he'd lost some repeat customers...and not just for that night. No response - he just turned his back and walked away. I guess it's good that this business must enjoy full tables every night and don't need to treat their customers well. I seldom leave a poor review on a place on Yelp - but this place REALLY deserves it based on our treatment. read more

They don't serve minorities. Was Sat at a table for 30 minutes without any acknowledgment the waiter did not hold the door open even though we were right behind him.

Great hideaway in Surprise! Busy, but it was Saturday night when we went. Definitely make a reservation! Both inside and outside seating was full. We might try the lanai next time when it's cooler. Happy hour menu is excellent! Dana suggested the Vogue Chips and they were spot on. Also has the Fritto Misto, definitely a shareable dish. Not only was Dana, our server, knowledgeable about the menu but service was excellent. The two young men that ran the food out and greeted us with water were very friendly and polite. We did not order a lot of entrees but the ones served were plenty! Don't forget to save room for the Butter Cake....it was phenomenal!!! We will definitely be back!!! read more

I'd give Vogue a C+ rating. Service was extremely slow. We had a 6:30 reservation and were not seated until 6:50. Once seated we waited until after 7 for someone to take an order. Food was ok. The Manhattan was excellent and plentiful. My husband had escargot which was adequate. I was disappointed in the Fritto Misto. It was described to be a tempura batter, however it was more deep fried, greasy and heavy, The steaks were excellent (filet and skirt ), but the fries were undercooked. All in all, I'd probably go back force second chance. But i would order differently. read more

My expierence for lunch was horrible! There were four options for entree's, and they were out of one. No chicken, pasta or fish options. You could have a hamburger, French Dip, or a salad. They did not have several of the appetizer or dessert options. We began sitting on the patio under the misters. The misters went off and we asked three times that they be turned back on. No luck. We had to move back inside the restaurant. When I received my French Onion soup it was burned. Sent it back to the kitchen. Service was extremely slow. It was my mother's 85th birthday and they totally ruined the day for her. We will not go back again. read more
