    On a whim, my wife and I decided to try something new through Open Table for brunch. We were pleasantly surprised at how good Bistro V was. While the place is very casual, the food is absolutely high-end. No doubt I had the best Shrimp and Grits I have ever had. The portions are good and the price reasonable. We look forward to trying it again, next time for dinner.

    I had the baked oysters and a salad. Two glasses of sparkling rose. $50. The food and wine was delicious. The bartender was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. It's expensive but so is everything else these days. I'll go back.

    The specials are always good and a great go to but my husband was sadly disappointed when saw they took the Franciscans Paella off the menu and started charging more for extra bread plate. But the food has always been good and good sized portions .
