    We chose inside seating-chairs are very comfy btw. Portions for both starters and entrees are extremely generous. My husband who never wants to try anywhere new is so glad we did and is looking forward to returning for the gumbo. Everything I had was delicious and I would order the same again, if not for all the other options on the menu that I want to try. Definitely adding Bistro V on our list of go-to restaurants.

    We love Bistro V - the food is always great and the service is excellent. It is one of our “go tos”, along with Daniel George.

    Food and service was very good. Dining room is crowded and tables near the entrance seem to always have someone standing over them since the foyer is too small to accommodate anyone waiting. We made a reservation but had to wait about ten minutes when a couple who did not have a reservation were seated ahead of us at a better table not located near the entrance. Staff was polite and receptive. Food arrived quickly. Can’t beat the seafood heavy menu and the food is always excellent.

    Highly recommend the scallops. I’ve dined here twice and they were so good the first time, had to have them again.
