    I took our IT department here for the Annual Christmas lunch and everyone loved it! Every plate was clean when we finished and dessert was also served. I had the fish special of the day - Grouper served over a grit cake with a white wine butter sauce. It was off the charts delicious!! I have eaten at Bistro-V many times through the years and they are always exceptional.

    On a whim, my wife and I decided to try something new through Open Table for brunch. We were pleasantly surprised at how good Bistro V was. While the place is very casual, the food is absolutely high-end. No doubt I had the best Shrimp and Grits I have ever had. The portions are good and the price reasonable. We look forward to trying it again, next time for dinner.

    I had the baked oysters and a salad. Two glasses of sparkling rose. $50. The food and wine was delicious. The bartender was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. It's expensive but so is everything else these days. I'll go back.
