" While the food overall was good, the service left something to be desired. Our server was pleasant but seemed overwhelmed. The seafood was beautifully prepared, but the duck dish was not as tender as I expected. I hope this was just a one-off experience as I’ve heard great things about Bastille and would like to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was curious to try Bastille after hearing positive reviews from friends, and it didn't disappoint! The French onion soup was rich and hearty, and I savored every bite of my hanger steak – cooked to perfection! The portion could have been a tad bigger, but the quality made it worth it. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine list too, which enhanced our dining experience. The only downside was the wait time for our table, as we didn't have a reservation. Overall, I'm excited to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went during restaurant week and was really impressed by the value for money! The three-course menu was outstanding and the dishes had that authentic French touch that drew me in. Highlight of the night was the crème brûlée – perfectly creamy! Service was attentive but relaxed, which made it feel very warm and welcoming. I'm already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Bastille was everything I hoped for. The appetizers were delightful, and the main courses were rich in flavor. I found the desserts to be the highlight of the evening, especially the raspberry tart which was an explosion of flavors. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a true French dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Bastille last week and was not disappointed. The ambiance is charming with a rustic touch. I ordered the ribeye, which was flavorful, but not the most tender cut of meat. The service was friendly and the wine selection is impressive. I enjoyed dining here and would recommend it for date night! " (*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*)
