Vogue Bistro - Surprise

Honestly, it was over hyped. Three dishes we received weren't good at all. The chefs special was the best item and apparently on Monday they don't even have a chef special. I actually sent 1 dish back because it had no flavor and it honestly wasn't what was described. The apple tarte was damn near raw, so terribly undercooked it was still white. The bread pudding was a block of cinnamon bread. The only thing good was the French onion soup, but it was topped with a square cap of what tasted like Pillsbury phyllo dough... Come on guys.. At least do a real crust.. I'll go back for drinks but I have to say I expected better.

Found this restaurant while searching for places to dine during our visit to Surprise. Hotel warned us to call first, but I got no answer when I called to confirm availability. We decided to try our luck anyway and found the restaurant was not crowded. Cocktail menu features a long list of martinis. My companion ordered a dry version and was pleased with the drink. I ordered a glass of red wine. The special meal was Osso Bucco and it came with a delicious squash bisque. A table nearby heard us discussing dessert and recommended the bread pudding. Service was great and food was delicious.

Kirsten our server was great! They were short staffed but she provided us a fabulous first time dining at the Vogue Bistro experience!

We're in Surprise visiting my Mom and Dad and wanted to find a different place to take them. My wife made a great choice! Nice decor, quick service. Enjoyed our apps, especially the beef tips. They were tasty and tender. Our lunch entrees were all delicious as well. Portions were generous. Had a jalapeño pineapple Margarita that was well balanced. Not too sweet or spicy. My wife and Dad said their Arnold Palmers were some of the best they had. Prices, all very reasonable. Looked over the dinner menu as well. Ditto. Staff was attentive but Kristin (hope I spelled it correctly) was the icing on the cake. Went over the menu thoroughly, friendly and funny. Too bad there aren't more like her out there!!

Ordered to go. Pictured is the Lobster Mac and Cheese that was $26. I can't imagine how wonderful this would have to be to justify the price. It doesn't cover the bottom of the container! And my well done burger is not close to well done.
