Always a pleasing experience, dinner at Bistro V offers delicious food, and very friendly waiters and staff. The restaurant is a favorite of Party with Moms. On a very hot and humid evening, we decided to share everything, starting with crisp and refreshing Caesar salads. The calamari appetizer is a meal in itself – lightly fried and served with both chili and aioli sauce, both delicious and providing an alternating taste experience with each bite....

  Besides motherhood, what other careers/opportunities have you enjoyed? And what are your strongest qualities? I just took the huge leap of opening my own salon in Greenwich, BOHEME SALON. Unfortunately, I was let go from my last salon because of Covid, so I took the chance to realize my forever dream to bring to life a salon that marries luxury standards with a relaxed bungalow vibe that has been missing in the space. I knew I wanted...

  How much can anyone cook? It is nice to take a break by ordering curbside takeout or delivery from a local restaurant. You treat yourself and family, and help the restaurant owner and staff. Last night’s dinner special from Bistro V (Versailles) was a pan-seared salmon, with accompanying lemon caper sauce over tender asparagus, brussel sprouts and pickled cabbage. Party with Moms can affirm that it was really, really good.

  Party with Moms decided last week to have a late working lunch at Versailles, or Bistro V as it is also known. Two of us went in after 1:30. By that time the lunch rush was over, but the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating or happy to see us. We decided to order 3 items we hadn’t tried before, and share everything. But first we each ordered a beer. Allagash and Stella Artois are two favorites...

  Originally, Versailles was primarily a bakery specializing in French pastries, quiches, croissants, fruit tarts and opera cakes. A huge pastry counter dominated the front half of the restaurant, displaying their delicious wares. In the last 5 years, Versailles has become Bistro V, an all-day French café serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The interior has been completely and very tastefully redecorated. A bar has replaced the pastry counter. Bistro V still makes the best croissants in town,...

  On a beautiful evening last week, we decided last minute to have dinner at Terra. Since it is August and half of Greenwich seems to be away, we were able to get a table outside. The breeze was delightful and terrace quiet compared to the restaurant itself. After a round of great drinks we had a hard time choosing between Terra’s usual wonderful dinner entrees. Everything looks and sounds so good, but we can only eat...
