" Decided to explore Bastille on a Friday evening and the lively atmosphere was wonderful! I loved the charcuterie platter and the wine selections complemented our meals perfectly. My main course was a seafood dish that was really fresh and beautifully flavored. Everything was great, although the service could have been a bit more organized as we waited a while for our checks. Nonetheless, I can't wait to try more from the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! We tried Bastille for our anniversary and were blown away by the quality of the food. The escargot was just like I had in Paris and the service was top-notch. Every dish was beautifully plated and the atmosphere was so romantic. Will definitely recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit, I was really impressed by the duck confit — it had a perfect crispy skin. However, I felt that the portion sizes could have been a bit larger given the prices. The ambiance was delightful with live jazz music, but we found the service a little slow at times, even though our server was friendly. Overall, a lovely evening but I expect more for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bastille truly embodies the essence of French dining with exceptional course options. The dishes we sampled – from the appetizer to dessert – showed a high level of skill in preparation. The only detail that lowered my rating was the timing of service appeared stretched at peak dinner hour, but my server was knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for quality French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Bastille during our weekend getaway and I'm so glad we did. The French-inspired design inside made for such a lovely dining experience. I particularly enjoyed the beef bourguignon which melted in my mouth. The dessert selection made it hard to choose, but we all ended up loving the chocolate fondant. Definitely a must-visit for anyone in the neighborhood! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my wife's birthday at Bastille and it was a memorable night! The prix fixe menu had so many selections that made choosing rather hard, but each dish we tried was exquisite. I particularly loved the chocolate cake dessert – it was the perfect sweetness to end the meal. Service was attentive but not overbearing, which I appreciated. Plus, the ambiance was lively yet cozy, a real gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to take my family to Bastille for brunch, having heard they have great eggs benedict. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The poached eggs were perfect and the hollandaise sauce was the best I have ever had. The kids enjoyed their crepes and I loved the refreshing Bloody Mary. It’s nice to see a place focusing on quality brunch dishes. We’ll surely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
