    I love Bistro V! Nick was our server and he did a fantastic job! The salads are always delicious and the fries came out extra crispy, just the way we like them! Emily, the owner, also came and talked to us for a while and we always enjoy her company as well. I can’t wait to come back!

    It’s a little pricey for lunch. Not many options to keep the meal less than $20.

    food good... service rushed... apparently eager to close the restaurant early, so it cut short visiting at the table.

    Our favorite place for gatherings with friends for great food and service. Ashley, as always, a super server and the best at recommendations. The best oysters any way and the fried chicken livers, but anything on the menu is great.
