    A wonderful choice for Valentine's Day! So many great specials for dinner - it was hard to make a decision. Bistro V is never a disappointment.

    Wagu steak delicious and reasonable priced. Complimentary Bread great! Crowded and there is a pile up of patrons waiting to check in since the check in desk is right at the entrance. Wait staff attended to our needs and didn’t rush. Overall a great experience although it was loud in the main dining area.

    This has been our go to for several years. But the prices have gotten ridiculous. Over $30 for a chicken dish. $30 for a bowl of pasta with no protein. Please. Service usually good but last nights server was not. For the money I could go to fine dining and have an extraordinary meal and service. This is neither. Sorry. Not sure I will be coming back anytime real soon. This won’t matter bc the OTMs love it and pile in.

    I love Bistro V! Always have a great experience at Bistro V! I originally made a reservation for countertop (only thing available), but was very appreciative that they informed me of opening for table instead of offering to someone else. It meant a lot!

    Everything was wonderful except the noise level. Not sure what can be done but it was so loud the restaurant we almost left.

    Our dinner was fabulous: drinks, entrees and desserts were all exceptionally good. After dinner coffee was disappointing: instead of a richly flavored dark roast, an acidic roast reminiscent of common breakfast coffee was presented. Service was friendly and quick. The interior is simple and comfortable, although as the restaurant filled up the noise level gradually became annoying and then somewhat uncomfortable. We will return at an earlier hour to avoid peak noise..
