   Early dinner on a Friday evening. Started with a Lemon Drop cocktail and shared the fried green and pimento cheese appetizer. Excellent on both. My husband and I had the snapper with succotash and highly recommend if it's on the menu when you visit. Don't forget dessert. All are delicious. Last night we had the chocolate chip bread pudding. So delicious.

   The food is always good. Service could have been better but it’s a tough market. We like Bistro V because it’s easy to get reservations. Very nice place for a good dinner.

   The gumbo was fantastic! The chicken piccata and fettuccine dish were beautifully prepared but both needed a little more flavor. Cobbler and ice cream was fantastic as well.

    I always enjoy Bistro V; this visit was above and beyond. I ordered a dish I've had numerous times before. When the server came back a few minutes later and asked how it was, I commented that it tasted fine but was spicier than I remembered. He immediately offered to have the kitchen send out something else, and insisted that it was no trouble at all. The grouper was delicious! This is the attitude that keeps me coming back. (Well, that plus the food!)

    Took my one of my friends out for her birthday lunch. Sally was our server and she was the best part of the whole experience!!! She was knowledgeable about the cocktails we ordered, suggested delicious crab cakes, and the strawberry shortcake was AMAZING! Y’all have a winner with Sally. The food was top notch, the drinks were great but I’ll come back for the service! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, prompt… such a fan of Bistro V now’

    Bistro V has been one of our favorites for years, but this experience was not good. Service was awful and food not up to par. Five of us ordered crab cakes, and all 5 were burned on both sides. Did not taste like crab but more like canned tuna. Not good. One got shrimp & grits. Very pretty dish, but she only ate a couple bites. One got tomato bisque and grilled cheese. She said the soup was awful and the grill cheese was so limp and had no brown on the bread at all. Just an overall bad experience. Makes me not want to go back, and as I said, this has been one of our favorite places for a long tine.

    Bistro V was a pleasant surprise. We arrived for our reservation and were seated promptly. Service was a bit slow, but we could see that our server was working hard and figured that they might be a little understaffed. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Our drinks were excellent and our food was outstanding! Our only issue was that it was quite loud in there making conversation difficult. But overall, highly recommend!

    We eat here often and love this place. Last night was a disappointment. We arrived right on time for our reservation only to find out that they gave our table to someone else. We showed them our Open Table confirmation and they checked the other couple in under our reservation. We had to sit at the bar. The food was delicious as ever, it was just a different experience than we were looking for that specific evening. Harder to have a conversation at the bar side by side vs. face to face. Manager didn't offer us a free drink or anything for their mistake. Disappointing.

    Excellent food with a broad menu, ranging from cheeseburgers to pasta to steaks and seafood. Great wine list. This is our favorite place to stop before the theater for a light meal. It is also a fun place to go to for a leisurely multi-course meal.
