Adorable place! Ordered two delicious fruit tarts...they were absolutely incredible! It was super lively and busy, even on a rainy Saturday! I would highly recommend for their pastries.

Would this place still be a 5 if it weren't on Greenwich Ave? May be not! But it didn't matter because my son had two orders of fish taco and he really liked it. Croque monsier was also very good. It was so rich I was glad I skipped the eggs. The weakest link was omelet. Tara had mushroom omelet and it was just OK. Servers were very nice.

Step into the world of French elegance with our review of Bistro V, a stunning dining destination in Greenwich, CT. This upscale spot delivers not only exquisite flavors but also an atmosphere enriched by unique art and design. The full food reveiw is on YouTube. We started with the beautifully plated Tuna Tartare and crispy Calamari. For the mains, we savored the tender Duck Confit, perfectly paired with asparagus and sweet potato, and the mouthwatering Steak Frites, elevated by a rich mushroom topping. The cocktails were just as captivating as the food! We tried the Spicy Margarita and a mezcal drink featuring wine and a shishito pepper. The server introduced a fun ritual: stir the drink with the pepper, make a wish, and take a bite. If the pepper is sweet, your wish will come true; if it's spicy, better luck next time! Bistro V's ambiance is as charming as its cuisine, featuring art by the same talented artist who designed the menu covers. The piece de resistance? A breathtaking chandelier made from vintage champagne bottles, adding a unique touch to the sophisticated decor. If you're looking for an unforgettable French dining experience with a creative twist, Bistro V is a must-visit!

Had a lovely time - they had a live singer playing throughout brunch today. The steak pillarcard is excellent but the clam linguine wasn’t. The clams were so tiny u could barely see it. Lots of butter sauce but not much flavor. However the service is good and the atmosphere is excellent. I enjoyed our time there for sure. There is a little bakery upfront where people ordered pastries - we didn’t have any but it did look good - will return for sure to try something else

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!

I arrived, asked the nice girl at the bar if I could sit there, no problem, she recommended the mushroom omelette and it was fantastic. Pleasantly surprised. Greenwich doesn't have many good places for breakfast, but this is one of them.

This place was great! I got the Bistro V Special and the hash browns were really good! They were not greasy at all and tasted like they were baked rather than fried. We ended the meal with a raspberry Tart which was really good to. Whenever you go I recommend getting any of the desserts, they all looked amazing.
