Bistro VG

Great place!

Was not up to our the usual level of dinning experience we have had there in the past. Missed having Michael as our server. He always goes out of his way to make it special. New owner/manager didnt even acknowledge us even though we have eaten there multiple times and have even spoken to him in the past.

Ended up dining in the bar. It was 1/2 price bottle of wine night — great deal!
My wife’s salad was delicious. Her crabcake, however, wasn’t up to par — too much filler; not much crab.
The cioppino was fabulous!

I believe our servers name was Jessica. The service was amazing as was the food. There was live music from a very talented gentleman that sings on Fridays and Sundays. We will definitely be back for all the above!

The food was delicious, the service good. HVAC blowing ice cold air; we'd have left if they hadn't been kind in moving us to another table.

THE AMBIANCE, FOOD & SERVICE WERE ALL OUTSTANDING.

WE HADN'T BEEN THERE FOR YEARS & WILL GO BACK SOON!

WE TOOK 3 OTHERS WITH US & ALL ENJOYED THE EVENING

Food was delicious and our server Michael G was great!!!

Poor server to table ratio. Frozen dessert. Salty entrees.

Noisy, hard to hear

We've driven past and said "we should try Bistro VG" enough times to finally book a table... another couple plus my wife and I visited on a Friday evening and tried as much as we could. Charcuterie and fromage, small plates, entrees (including the specials), dessert, drinks, and coffee. The small plates were excellent - and hardly small!! We should have ordered more of them and fewer of the entrees... more food than we could get through passed across our table. The meat and cheese selections were generous with a wide variety of mustards, bread/crackers, and preserves alongside. The calamari was OK, the octopus was excellent, and the gnocchi was FANTASTIC. The entrees were good all around but outshined by the small plates, cocktails, and beignets. Biggest knock was that our server disappeared a few times and some empty plates spent a couple of trips sitting on our table. We'll definitely be going back to try the remainder of the menu.

We love VG Bistro, the people are super friendly and the food is very good!

Our server was great.

Great meal. Nice atmosphere. Friendly, attentive staff.

An adorable gem of a restaurant with great food and awesome service. The menu has something for even the pickiest of eaters. Fun bar scene, great staff, and the food is always yummy.

...the worst service I have experienced in five years. Broken corks, wrong selections brought to the table, request for the wine to be iced resulted in a glass of ice!
Food was very bland and completely overpriced for the quality and quantity received.
Finally, what service there was was incredibly slow even though the restaurant was virtually empty.
I shall never return.

The food was excellent however the service was extremely slow

My wife’s birthday. Table was 25 minutes late. Manager finally advised us at 20 minutes that they were running late.

Was not impressed!!

I have had two lunches there that were excellent. We picked a bad night to go for dinner. There were two large parties and the noise level was extremely high. Could hardly talk across the table. Also I think the large crowd affected food quality. It was not up to what I had experienced At lunchtime.

The service, food and ambience was awesome. I will definitely visit again. My only suggestion would be to add more additional vegetarian options.

We've been going to Bistro VG and before that, Van Gogh's, for many years - it never disappoints.

Great food great service and awesome ambiance. There wood fired dishes are awesome the pizza is great and the menu changes often.

The pate did not have much flavor, the gnocchi were very good, there was a green onion piece in the gnocchi with the root still attached, not being carefully prepped. Food needs some attention to detail

It was a Sunday night and it just was “off”. My thoughts and guess:kitchen people had the day off as food VERY slow to come out, not near enough servers,NO bartender which meant server had to supplement, the seating comfort at the couch in the sun room was terrible. Management very responsive and always working hard to keep things together.....but a very tall task this Sunday night.
I’ll be back as management fixed my food quality issue; people we were with will not be back.

Waiter Michael is just the best! Just a date night for husband and me - been married for almost 16 years. And Michael made it a special night for us. Food was amazing! Drank French 75s all night. We had a memorable experience! Thank you!

Mediocre for the $. Use to be much better. Very limited "French" menu items considering its touted as a French restraunt. Wine list was mostly California. Risotto was overcooked and soupy although scallops were good. Husband liked the duck but not overly thrilled with the octopus appetizer. Would choose another option for the money.

We have been to this restaurant many many times and this time was the worst. Food was not up to par, and wait service was awful. We had to ask our server if we could possibly order, we did not hear about the specials, and then we had to find out waiter to ask for our check, I will be along time before we return.

Rediscovered this restaurant last month and after that wonderful experience, we took very picky friends with us for another visit. Everyone was pleased with the service (Michael!), the food and the atmosphere. We will return again soon!

Wonderful, friendly and fun. The food (and specials) is consistently delicious. I love the vibe and atmoshphere.

Able to handle easily party of 6, for a birthday. Service was excellent as well as the food. Mixed drinks were well made, and reasonable selection of beers. Very good atmosphere for with a pair or group of friends.

Great service. Innovative menu. One of our favorite ATL restaurants. It was a little noisy, but we were seated on the main entry to both dining rooms.

Johnathon provided consistently attentive and excellent service while allowing plenty of time for conversation between courses. The food was outstanding and the menu is very nice, providing a variety of choices at price ranges that will satisfy most everyone. We will definitely return and would enthusiastically recommend this restaurant to friends.

Always artfully present gourmet meals and now with 1/2 price bottles of wine on Sunday and Monday!! A true neighborhood treasure

The food was excellent! Service - we were outside & there weren’t many people sitting out. I felt there could have been a little more attention paid to those of us outside.

We love this restaurant! Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food!!

Truly sad to see this once good restaurant decline to less than mediocre. The waiter was overly friendly to the point of being intrusive. The food was over sauced with competing flavors and the presentation was slightly better than a mess hall. The lamb was a triple G, greasy, gamey and gnarly served on a bed of impenetrable faro. We will not return.

Noe served us and everything was perfect!

A quiet Sunday night dinner with friends. Food good, nothing earth-shattering. Wines a bit pricey for pour size and quality. Service fine. This is our neighborhood place and we like its menu and dependability.

Extraordinary service by a professional and friendly guy named Michael G. By the way, our meals were also outstanding.

This could be my first review after hundreds of Open Table. I’m so excited to find a restaurant locally that I did not know about. I travel the world and consider myself a foodie. The grilled octopus was better than anything I’ve ever had internationally. Service and ambiance divine.

We very much enjoyed the physical space and the service. The food was certainly not bad, however everything was under-seasoned and lacked that wow-factor. The flavors did not match the terrific service or expensive prices.
