    As always, Bistro V comes through. We were running a little late and they kindly held our table for us. The food was delicious, Carlos was our exceptional server. We love Bistro V! It never disappoints.

    Best meal yet in the past year - a hard feat considering recently moving from the Chicago area. The NY strip was amazing and cooked perfectly. Very personable and attentive waitress. Immediately got in on time with our reservations. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

    We had not eaten here is awhile and we certainly enjoyed our meal and drinks at the bar. Cocktails were prepared expertly and the appetizers were delicious: Baked oysters and fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce were excellent. The shrimp and grits with a white wine sauce and cherry tomatoes was a great choice and the fried oyster plate was perfectly prepared. The blueberry cobbler was good as well. We decided to make plans to eat here more often!
