Vendome

Really disappointing. The Eggs Benedict had the eggs poached so long that they were basically very hard boiled. The "creamsicle smoothie" was just frozen orange juice. The cookies were rock hard and sad. The service was very slow. Not worth the price, won't be back.

Decline in Service and Hospitality As a longtime patron of Vendome, I am deeply disappointed by the decline in both service and atmosphere that I have witnessed over the past year. Despite being a local to Sunnyside and having frequented Vendome for years, my recent visit left much to be desired. Upon arriving on a bitterly cold day, I asked for a table in the restaurant area due to the discomfort of sitting near the entrance, the server, identifiable by her Asian descent and distinctive silver tooth, led me to a table away from the bar without any acknowledgment of my preference. When my friend joined me later and we reiterated that we were only ordering drinks, the server's attitude turned notably sour. Instead of accommodating our simple request, the server curtly informed us that if we were only having drinks, we should sit at the front tables next time. This was communicated without any prior indication or consideration. When we explained our discomfort with sitting near the cold door, her response was dismissive and bordered on rudeness, repeatedly emphasizing that we should consider this for our next visit. What baffles me is Vendome's sudden insistence on prioritizing food orders over providing a welcoming atmosphere for all patrons. It appears that unless one intends to order a meal, they are unwelcome in the restaurant section. The lack of inquiry about our dining preferences upon seating only adds to the frustration. In conclusion, I am left questioning when Vendome shifted its focus solely to food service, neglecting the inclusive hospitality it once prided itself on. The decline in service quality and the unwelcoming attitude displayed by the server have tarnished the once-enjoyable experience at Vendome. As a loyal customer, I sincerely hope to see improvements in both service and attitude in the future.

Lovely staff and friendly service. Large portions, tasty food, and cute latte art. A very nice place for brunch meet-ups.

We tried this brunch restaurant a few weeks ago and were very impressed with the quality of food, service and atmosphere. The design of the decor is classy elegant and yet inviting to all. The staff is very and helpful. I’m sorry that I forgot to take a picture of the feature French toast hot chocolate for the month of February. It looked great and tasted delicious! We had the blue crab omelette and blue crab eggs Benedict. Very filling and the taste can’t be described… it’s an experience. Flavourful not salty just delicious Thank you to the staff our server Blaise and manager who made our experience a great one.

Delicious brunch spot, and good atmosphere. Just off the bustle of Kensington.

Solid 4.5. Service was good. Had the croque madame. Food was decent but I wouldn't say it's something to go out of your way for.
