Standout dish:

The creamy grits and sautéed spinach with scallops is one of Bistro V's most well-liked meals. This recipe is a cozy yet elegant choice because it mixes the rich creaminess of grits with the delicate, somewhat sweet flavor of scallops. Sautéed spinach adds a crisp, slightly bitter contrast that lifts the flavor profile overall. This recipe adds a nutty crunch and a hint of sweetness with the addition of pine nuts and sultanas on top, making it a distinctive and fulfilling supper. At about $28, this meal is a perfect example of the restaurant's dedication to using only the best, fresh ingredients on every dish.
