A few girlfriends and I went here after a day of girly girl movie watching and it was such a nice treat to be able to sit out on Vogue's patio sipping their yummy wine. I don't like wine, but they talked me into getting a glass of Mr. Loosen (Riesling, Germany) and it was not bad at all. The four of us ordered the cheese plate to start with. I'm not much of a gourmet cheese person (let's just say nacho cheese is one of my best friends). So, I didn't quite love it as much as my friends did...but I did like the goat cheese and the pine nut Gouda. We decided to each order two starters each so we could have a nice sampling of many dishes instead of getting entrees that we could enjoy on our own. I highly recommend doing this!! There is just so much on their menu that is appealing to the eye and stomach.
In all, we ordered the Vogue onion soup (which had a cheesy and super delicious flaky bread on top), beef skewers w/miso marinade, sweet potato fries w/sweet and spicy aiole sauce, mac & cheese, butternut squash w/vanilla, bruschetta (that night's version had pesto and cheese whipped together with a yellow tomato topping), and potato au gratin. We had quite the spread in front of us. Our waitress told us that she wanted to sit and join us! It was a fantastic meal despite the few bites we got of each. I was full by the time I had about 2-3 bites from each plate.
Vogue has a really relaxing atmosphere and wonderful service to boot. Even though they were showing Ratoutille (Disney film) on the TVs, my friends tell me that many times they show fashion shows. They have a huge list of different martinis, all named after designers. I wish I was a martini fan so I could try them. But the wine was wonderful treat for a night of sitting and relaxing with girlfriends.
