The team at Bistro V (formerly known as Versailles) has been proud to serve the Greenwich community since 1994 at Méli-Mélo, but the story in town actually began in 1990 at the original Versailles café location a few doors up from our current location on Greenwich Avenue. The beloved Avenue has seen many changes over the years and when the current owner spotted the “for sale” sign posted on Versailles’ front door, nostalgia kicked in and could not let another Greenwich institution go! A facelift, a menu shift, and Versailles was reborn as Bistro V. Inspired by the classic bistro in France, the team at Bistro V is excited to share another cozy local hangout with their loyal patrons from Méli-Mélo and newcomers alike. Located in the heart of Greenwich, Bistro V is an all-day restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everyone’s favorite meal – weekend brunch.

    Bistro Cassis is one of our favorite places to eat in Huntington. The food was very good and the service was friendly and professional. We started our dinner with the wonderful Pomagranate Martinis (I eventually had the execellent house Cab, which our waiter recommended). I love a really good hamburger and the Lyonaisse version hit the spot. My spouse had the Poached Sea Bass which he very much enjoyed. The desserts at Bistro Cassis are as good as the entrees, and if you love chocolate, you're in luck! We've been dining at Bistro Cassis for many years and have never been disappointed. Well worth a trip to Huntington.

    Outstanding meal and service. Duck a L,Orange was crisp and tender, perfectly sauced and seasoned. Shrimp appetizer with mushrooms and asparagus in a lemon garlic sauce was on point and enough for two to share. I always enjoy the wine selections.

    Bar Frites is one of my ‘go to’ restaurants with my friends. The food is consistently good. Our favorite part during late spring and summer is sitting in the patio setting. Love it! In or out, we’re never rushed. I suggest the menu options be broadened and/or updated… more seafood, lunch specials (aside from the usuals). BTW, best mashed potatoes!!
