Food was tasty and the servers were very nice however the service was extremely slow. We had drinks, a salad/app course and entrees and were there 2 1/2 hours! We shut it down even though four other tables were served after us. The croissants were small however nice and warm, extremely buttery and flavorful. A poblano pepper with mushrooms and goat cheese was just spicy enough, super flavorful and tender. The lyonnaise type salad with mustard vinaigrette, crispy bacon squares and two poached eggs was as good as at any French bistro. Beef Wellington had a nice crispy and flaky crust, lots of chopped, sautéed mushrooms and still tender yet overcooked beef (asked for medium and it was nearly well done) however all in all it was very tasty. Halibut with a beurre blanc and ratatouille had all the classic flavors although the fish was a bit drier and firmer than it should have been. A complimentary finger of lemon tart with a fresh strawberry was a nice end to the meal. Strange thing is that three of us were given the lemon tart and only one of us got two mini pots of creme caramel - one a plain vanilla and the second a coffee version. The coffee one was amazingly smooth and had just enough coffee flavor. However shouldn't two of the four gotten the two mini pots de creme?

Another stellar dinner at Vincent's Market Bistro. Yes, prices have increased over the years but the quality of the food is simply outstanding. This time we ordered the butternut squash soup and the cream of mushroom soup - both terrific. My wife ordered the beef Wellington- pricey but outstanding. I ordered the mussels and fries - most delicious Blanc sauce ever. The chocolate and the pecan pie desserts also great. And the service by Miguel and Scott efficient, helpful and attentive.

We had a delightful experience at Vincent Market Bistro. The service was impeccable and the staff warm and friendly, the food was delicious and authentic. I thought I was dining on the Left Bank. Garlicky escargot. - marvelous frisée salad with poached egg and their special coq au vin. The chef sent us complimentary desserts that were outstanding. I'd definitely return.

We were looking for the restaurant but entered the bistro and stayed. Serves traditional French bistro staples which do not disappoint at all. Service includes petit croissants that were warmed just right, there is a decent wine list. Not too cramped, touches of French country styling for the ambience. We ordered the boeuf borguignon, steak frites and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. The steak, though sliced thinner than the usual chunk, came as ordered at medium well with ample au poivre sauce and well seasoned fries. The boeuf borg was fork tender, a little heavy on the wine but perfect nonetheless. All dishes were perfect in terms of portions (not too small), the finesse and the flavor profiles tempered just right. After 6 hours of driving from LA to Phoenix and another 2 hours looking at houses, this was the perfect early dinner. The service was professionally pleasant and unobtrusive. To top it all, we declined dessert but they sent us complementary pots de crème and a small slice of cake and it was excellent. One must go, and more often. If I had time I would go for another meal of foies gras and coq au vin and a side of trout. And then there's still the restaurant to try. Oh my.

Vincent Market Bistro is absolute darling of a restaurant. Very small and intimate atmosphere, they have daily specials. Entrees are served along complimentary warm croissants and a dessert. I had an opportunity to try their spinach quiche and halibut special. The quiche wasn't very cheesy which was wonderful. It was fluffy and light yet very filling. It came with a side of fresh house salad. The halibut was very fresh as well. It was served with roasted vegetables and scalloped potatoes. We absolutely loved everything about it. The apple tart dessert was the icing on the cake. They have a higher end dinner restaurant next door which I'm looking forward to trying soon. Highly recommend; enjoy!

4.5/5 Free croissants + dessert, charming atmosphere and reasonably priced for what you get? I'm in heaven! I've been wanting to try out Vincent's Bistro for quite some time. We got here right at 5 and boy am I glad we did. When we left around 6-6:30 all the tables looked filled and people were waiting outside for a spot to open up. The menu offers traditional French classics as well as some American style cuisine. When we were here they offered a prix fixe menu, 3 courses for $29. Not bad at all! I went for the prix fixe, choosing the scallop appetizer, salmon and sole duo, with the creme Catalan for dessert. While we waited we noshed on some tasty tantalizing mini croissants. They were served nice and warm and were perfect for appeasing my hunger until the appetizer came. The scallops were a lovely presentation, served in a shell, nicely cooked with just the right amount of sauce and seasoning. I also really enjoyed the salmon and sole duo. The fish was perfectly cooked and so tender. It's the best cooked salmon I've had in some time. We all shared our desserts (A chocolate cake, the creme Catalan and an almond cake). Out of the three I liked the almond cake the best with its perfectly sweet almond flavor and moist texture. The creme Catalan was reminiscent of an even richer tasting creme brulee minus the crispy crunchy caramelized top sugar layer. The chocolate cake was decent and was about the size of a brownie. It tasted about halfway between a brownie and traditional chocolate cake. Service was prompt albeit a bit brusque. This might be due to the fact that it gets so busy here so soon. I didn't realize this at the time but after looking up their hours they close so early on Saturday, at 8 PM! No wonder it gets so busy! They don't accept reservations either unless you are a big party so make your plans accordingly. Overall we had a lovely time and I'd love to go back again to try more off the menu.

Found this place on yelp and realized that my fellow yelp elites friends were here before. Came here for lunch after long hike and we felt little a bit under dressed because the servers were dress nicely in the uniforms. A server male told us it's okay because they treated everyone equally no matter what, I was like yess! I ordered the salmon dish it was delicious and my hubby ordered the panini was excellent as well. Loved the mixed green salad, it was just perfect! I also had the Argentinian red wine Malbec to compliment my salmon dish, it was just superb. On top of everything, we also got complimentary croissants butter with blueberry dipping and desserts, can't get better than that. Service was excellent! Thank you Vincent Market Bistro, can't wait to comeback and bring friends. Cheers!

Id love to share with you my new go-to date night spot. It's filled with so much charm and romance we both were simply glowing with post dinner elation. The place, Vincent's Market Bistro is the scaled down version of the fine dining classic Vincent's of Camelback. It's funny that a place like this is so well hidden without even a hint of signage beyond a sandwich board on the street. Just look for the main Vincent's sign and follow it around back to the Market Bistro entrance, they're housed in the same building. Chef and owner Vincent Guerithault keeps the menu decidedly French with hints of Southwestern flare that he's so famous for. You should look this guy up; he's got some accolades including a James Beard award under his belt. Does kudos translate to good cookery, you bet! For one of my favorites, be sure to look for the Curly Endive Salad ($9) with mustard dressing, bacon, and a poached egg. I saw it, I ordered it, I swooned over it. A well balanced ratio of salty, sweet and sour then fresh cracked pepper completes the equation. Pizza offerings are done well with a tender pale crust that seemed more akin to pastry then to your typical chewy crispy offering. Tarte Flambée ($8) was topped with a light cream sauce, bacon, onion and thyme. Another pork laden pizza was the Caprese ($8) topped with pesto, arugula, mozzarella and prosciutto. I just wished that the greens were put on after cooking instead of before. For dinner you'll find classics including the cooked in its own fat Crispy Duck Confit ($16) with lentils and bacon, sensing a porky theme here? The tender mallard leg was succulent and intense in flavor while the lentils performed well by countering the richness of the meat. For something a little bit lighter, I use that word loosely, order up the Coq au Vin ($10). Red wine braised chicken served atop gratin potatoes were hearty and comforting. Vincent's Market Bistro also offers a $20, 3 course Prix Fixe menu. On my last visit delights were abound with the likes of creamy Butternut Squash Ravioli, Rainbow Trout and a scrumptiously sour Lemon Tart. This has to be one of the best deals in town that I know of. I mean really, food from a James Beard award winning chef at these prices is unheard of. Great food, good prices and excellent service all set in a romantic atmosphere, well; there is one caveat, the hours. Vincent's Market Bistro closes at 8pm, so plan on eating early. We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday night and by 7pm the place was completely filled. Be sure to check their website for times including breakfast, brunch and lunch.

I've been coming to Vincent Market Bistro for the past 5 years and they were one of my favorite restaurants then and they are still one of my favorite restaurants now. I normally eat here for brunch or lunch, but was told that they extended their hours and offer dinner. I've always hated their service here because it was always slow and pitiful, but this morning was an exception. Maybe it's because we were the only customers here at 8 in the morning, but our server was really attentive and friendly. Their menu hasn't changed very much and I ordered the crab quiche and hubby ordered the French toast. They always offer complimentary croissants which is always awesome and buttery and delicious! I decided to not even share my entree with my hubby and I ate my crab quiche - all of it all by myself! When we were done, like I remember, they offer complimentary dessert which was a fruit tart with ice cream on top. Prices are extremely inexpensive too! For two entrees, complimentary croissants and complimentary desserts, we spent around $25. What great value!!! I love it here and if you like French cuisine, I'm sure you will love it here too! I will definitely come back to dine for dinner.

We had a great experience visiting Vincent, I can include food, service and ambient. This is perfect if you are looking for a personalized service, I would say it has a private and romantic atmosphere, food are always excellent.

They got me at Free dessert : ) This is a very quaint place with a small parking lot. I am curious to stop by for breakfast, for our son recommended for dinner and it was a very pleasant surprise. They open with warm croissants, and the service was prompt and friendly. I had the beef bourguignon and I was very pleased. The other's in my party had the lamb shank and did enjoy it a lot as well. I was interested in the specials but have not had a chance to come back to try other items in the menu. At the end of our meal, it was a nice surprise that our sever brought small portion of desserts to out table. They were delicious. I am sure the fact that they were included/complimentary makes them taste a tad better : ) what a nice touch!

Why would anybody wait for Restaurant Week when Vincent Market Bistro is priced better than Restaurant Week every day! Vincent Market Bistro is a Comfortable Casual French Style Bistro that offers exceptional service and delicious French Style Food with South West Style accents. It doesn't matter if you order off the $25. Prix Fixe 3 Course Menu or the A La Carte Menu your not going to spend much either way. Everyone here drinks wine you either order a glass or two or a bottle. The other thing to keep in mind is that there is no late night here I think they stop serving around 8pm. I've been here a bunch of times and all the food is always fantastic! They always start you off with Buttery Fresh Croissants on super adorable plates. I particularly enjoy steak here more than anyplace else because it's always delicious and not too big of a portion. I also always enjoy the fresh seafoods they offer that usually come with a Basil Beurre Blanc Sauce. My husband thinks the Duck Confit and the lamb are better and more enjoyable here than most others he has tried. No matter what you order it will be delicious with fresh herbs and properly prepared. The desserts are always delicious and are worth the calories. The Service here is always very professional and warm. I always enjoy every dinner from Vincent Market Bistro. As a slight update 6-1-15 the Prix 3 course is now $29.00 and is still terrific!

Came to Vincent's for a birthday dinner. I had not been here before but I am a francophile and have been to France too many times to count. I love French architecture, culture, language and most importantly, Its FOOD. We started off with an all American drink-- a spicy bloody mary. They did a great job too--Real spicy; nice and strong. They presented a complimentary service of bread consisting of warm, mini, croissant-type rolls and butter. Too bad they missed an opportunity by serving rosettes of butter that were almost frozen. The beauty of warm bread is to be able to put lovely room temperature butter on it. We ordered the steak/frites with au poivre sauce. It is a classic dish in most Parisian brasseries. I had to send back the fries because they were not crispy enough as I had requested. The steak which was a "filet" was about 3 1/2 inches by 3 inches and 1/2 thick at most and unseasoned to boot. Even a little salt would have been an improvement. The au poivre sauce made it taste better. We also ordered the trout which came with mashed potatoes but we opted for extra vegetables. The trout was well prepared but in keeping with the small portions of Parisian restaurants. and this restaurant as well, the portion was quite small. The flavor was not that memorable although the béurre blanc sauce was delightful. The highlight of our evening were the complimentary desserts-- I believe a chocolate cake of sorts and the pot au feu of 3 chocolate types: cappuccino, milk chocolate and one other that escapes me. These were delightful and generous of the restaurant to provide them.
