Best Bistros in Port Washington

I booked this restaurant for our Valentine Day dinner. We had a 9pm reservation but we’re not seated until almost 1 hour later. The restaurant did not keep us updated and I had to continuously ask the hostess how much longer. When we did get seated, we did not get menus for about 15 minutes and did not get to order for another 20 minutes. The appetizers took a while to come and the entrées took very long to come. I feel the restaurant did not properly plan for this holiday and seemed to be overbooked. The management never came to see how we were or to say sorry for the delay. On the positive side the food was very good. Not sure I would come back during a holiday.

Always welcoming with delicious food, well made cocktails and great service. Never disappoints. We had the tuna tartare, lobster spring rolls, short ribs and organic chicken, chocolate lava and carrot cake. All delish.

Perfect V-Day spot w fantastic atmosphere and food. Owner introduced himself and is a great guy.

i hesitate to write this review because i selfishly don't want this place to be discovered. Actually it's been there for decades but i was just introduced to it a few months ago, have been 7 times and can't wait to go back again - next time for brunch which i hear is a treat. Cafe V is a truly welcoming spot, wonderful European ambiance and the most gracious efficient staff you will find anywhere. I've been for lunch and dinner and it never seems crowded or rushed therefore the noise level is subdued esp compared to other places on a Sat night. The menus has a wide selection of uniformly delicious apps and entrees; everything my friends and i have ordered has been yummy. I especially love the blackened salmon salad; i could easily eat it every day but the buddha salad, the burgers and the other seafood is equally praiseworthy. And save room for dessert where Cafe V really excels- there is a huge selection of cakes, tarts and pastries all of it irresistible, esp the fruit tarts. The prices are quite reasonable esp for Greenwich and considering the caliber of the food and the overall wonderful experience I hope im not my own worst enemy in posting this review but Cafe V deserves to be singled out.

Completely forgot about this restaurant and so happy to have returned. The Wines, specials, appetizers, main courses and dessert were awesome.  I’ll be returning in less than two weeks and can’t wait. Fabulous.
