Vogue Bistro

Lovely white tablecloth restaurant in Surprise.
Food was very good but service made the entire experience.
Don’t expect to get in and out fast but enjoy the experience and delicious food.
Highly recommend the oysters.

I just wanted to share our experience at Vogue Bistro.
I don't like writing critical reviews, but I've been burned here more than once with the food and had here the worst steak of my life (not being dramatic).
My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to have a more upscale dining experience close to home, so we decided to dine at Vogue Bistro.
We figured we would give them one last shot.
First impressions were dirty and old, worn menus, (first red flag).
Our waitress arrived promptly, (she was great).
We started with the crab cakes & lobster bisque.
The crab cakes were okay, kinda bland.
The lobster bisque had a good flavor but I guess all the grainy stuff in the soup was the lobster.
Like lobster dust.
Next up, my wife ordered the pasta with alfredo sauce and I ordered the Steak Vogue w/risotto.
The pasta was okay but the sauce wasn't an alfredo sauce that you are used to and tasted something different so my wife wasn’t happy with the dish.
The Steak Vogue looked really good but wasn't good.
The risotto was, again, bland and wasn't that great.
The mushrooms on the steak were dry.
The steak however is where the “worst steak of my life” comes in.
Once I cut into the steak I noticed the interior was like pink mush.
I was actually able to scrape the insides of the steak out onto my plate and it was all mush with no texture.
I’ve had a lot of restaurant steaks and have cooked many steaks in my life and I have never seen this before, ever.
Not sure how that even happens.
The waitress even said she’s never seen anything like that before and she quickly took the plate to have the kitchen refire me another.
The second steak came out and looked really good on the plate.
I cut into the steak and it was raw on the inside, (insert your best Gordon Ramsay meme here).
That was it for me and the waitress apologized, (wasn't her fault).
We did get a complimentary creme brulee for our anniversary.
I ended up eating a burger at the Jack in the Box cause it was close and I was hungry.
I still have no idea what they did to that steak.
Also, they need to season their food as everything was bland and lacked proper seasoning.
This is the last time for us.

Enjoyed the Duck 2-way and Chicken Cordon Bleu.
The brussel sprouts and potato au gratin was also excellent.
For dessert, the bread Pudding with whiskey caramel sauce and vanilla gelato was delicious, and baked fresh, tho requiring a 15 minute wait, but served again fresh and warm.
