    This is a casual and quaint spot — no fuss dining and it is DELICIOUS!!! Order the lobster ravioli and shrimp. It is rich and flavorful. Lots of locals eat here.

    Bistro V NEVER disappoints! We had a wonderful meal including snapper, jambalaya risotto, fettuccine with Conecuh sausage, and my favorite, fork-tender braised short ribs. The strawberry shortcake and chocolate chip bread pudding were excellent as well. Great food, great service, great restaurant - very happy diners!
