Great food! So much flavor. True French. Wine pairing was excellent. Service was wonderful.

Bastille is truly a gem. This is our "go-to" restaurant for a fantastic meal and dining experience. Tonight, each of us had the Brasserie Prix Fixe, with the following appetizers: Escargots (snails), Salad de Betteraves (beets) et Citrus, and Beignets des Crevettes (rock shrimp fritters). Two of us ordered the Magret de Canard aux Poivres (duck breast with pears), and one had the Boeuf Bourguignon (beef in wine sauce). We all finished with the Napolean dessert, which is an innovative take on the classic, full of flavors and textures. Everything was truly delicious. The duck, which I had, was flawless. The duck breast itself, cooked perfectly medium rare, was so flavorful, enhanced by a delicious, rich, wine-based sauce and stewed pears. The entree was accompanied by the best wild rice I have ever had - a perfect balance of umami and saltiness, and a nutty crunch to the grains. The broccolini, paired with melting cippolini onions, was flavorful and tender, cooked to perfection. It is not an exaggeration to say I enjoyed every bite of my meal. As always, the service was friendly and attentive, just the right balance. Everyone, from our server to the bus people, to the manager and hostess, provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere in the bistro, where we often prefer to sit, is comfortable and charming, with a lively buzz of activity, but is not too loud. The bistro tables and chairs bring one back to France. I am from NYC, where we have plenty of great restaurants, including French cuisine stars, but I can honestly say that Bastille is my favorite French restaurant on the East Coast. I cannot wait to return. Bon appetit!

This place is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I stopped in during restaurant week and were treated to a wonderful experience from the time we walked in the door. All of the food was absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional, and I cannot wait to come back. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I am not a big fan of duck, but my wife said it was among the best she has ever had. The escargot was exactly what you would expect in flavor/preparation, but it did throw me for a loop when they did not come in their shell.

The Halibut was not cooked well, couldn't finish eating it as the texture was terrible. But the rest of the food was good. The service was amazing and atmosphere pretty good. Close tables but that was ok.

Sat at the bar and loved the ambience. It’s quaint and can be a nice romantic spot for couples. Our bartender was great and he recommended the prix fixe menu and it was definitely worth it. Got the marinated beets salad, lamb and Crème brûlée! Will definitely return. Great service, great food. What else can one ask for?!
