Bistro V

Came here for breakfast and had a great time! The service was EXCELLENT and was the standout. They had outdoor seating which was perfect for a warm fall morning in CT The food was good! I particularly liked the pomme rosti and would recommend it, with the eggs and side salad. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also very refreshing. They are very kid friendly.

We were visiting from NYC and stopped by at this restaurant. Drinks and basic clam pasta were fine but steak tartar was not fresh at all. It was stinky and discolored. We let the waiter know that the dish wasn’t edible for the reasons. She tried to convince us that it’s freshly made and nothing wrong with it.

We came to Bistro V for a weekend brunch and dined outside. There was some shade and it was nice to sit outside. I love lobster rolls in CT and decided to try this one. It was covered in sauce, though, and you couldn’t taste the freshness of the lobster. The french fries tasted like they’d been sitting there, too. If you’re looking for a good lobster roll, I’d recommend going elsewhere.

Bistro V is the first French restaurant I’ve ever visited, and like many of the Greenwich Ave restaurants, everything was top tier! First, I want to give a shout out to the bartender, because he made one of the best mocktails I’ve had! It was a fruit punch one and made me feel like I wasn’t missing out by not drinking. All of the food was delicious, and the highlights for us were definitely the short rib and the chicken paillard. We also had some of the best chocolate truffles we’ve ever had for dessert! I totally want to come back for breakfast/brunch, and I think their pastries must be amazing too based on the quality I experienced in everything else. Love the bistro feel and how cozy the restaurant was!

Even though the menu is a bit “tired”, the food is consistently tasty and well prepared. Portions are just the right size as well. What I really like about Bistro V though is the service and atmosphere. It’s just the perfect place for a weekday dinner (or weekend) where you get excellent service and it’s easy to talk to (and hear) your dinner companions. I go with my family at least once a month and it’s like going to a good friend’s house. Welcoming, with good food and a warm and inviting atmosphere.
