| - I was introduced to Brasserie V by my sister who is quite the fan. She has been raving about their frites and tap beer. Usually, when someone talks so highly about a place it builds the expectation and I'm usually left disappointed. Luckily, this place met all expectations and more!
We came during a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. It was busy, but not packed and we were able to find a seat immediately. It's located on Monroe street, so parking may be difficult during peak hours. It's a long and narrow building with an old pub feel. The bar takes up quite a bit of space, as it should. The beers are deserving of a nice bar.
The service was pleasant and attentive. Food was excellent. I had a Caprese and my sister had a croque monsieur. We shared the frites. Definitely a must order. They came with their house aioili as well as a Greek style aioili. According to my sis, they change up one and in the past have had flavors such as lavender.
The beer menu can be overwhelming, but unless you're there for something specific I would stick with the taps. Saison Dupont is an excellent choice if you like a Farmhouse Ale. But, you could always ask the waiters, they are pretty good with recommendations.
All, in all, a great (and interesting) place to eat and try new beers.
