    The food wasn't good and overpriced for the quality. The greens taste like they were straight out the can without any season on.

    The atmosphere was pleasant and service fabulous. The seafood bisque and salad delicious. My husbands fried oysters were great. The scallops were cooked perfect but was overpowered by too much seasoning and fat from other ingredients. Lost the essence of some excellent cooked scallops

    I am a Bistro V fan but my lunch there this week was not good. The vegetables on the vegetable plate were terribly over seasoned to the point my guest and I had trouble finishing our meal. I didn’t say anything while at the restaurant because I didn’t want to make my guest uncomfortable. Our service was great.

    My friends and I recently dined at Bistro V for girls night, and the food was delicious. The service was also very fast. I would definitely dine here again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, we decided on starters as our meal because they were so big. I had the fried green tomatoes with pimiento cheese, bacon and blueberry vinaigrette. I will have fried green tomatoes every time it’s on a menu and these were the very best I’ve ever had.
