Our appetizer dinners were delicious. Our server, Carlos, was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. The staff even called to offer us a table that became available, which was more comfortable than the bar. We took the opening at the bar, but asked for a change if a table became available. Bistro V is consistently good.

We had the best experience. Drove in from Dallas and got to the restaurant pretty late, but they accommodated a full dinner for us considering we were 20 minutes to closing. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! I would highly recommend the fillet to anyone!!! Absolutely love the hotel, but the restaurant took it to another notch
