What a cool quaint place! Read up on the history before you go! Food was incredible. We had Sun brunch & the shrimp n grits with a crawfish sauce was to die for! Grits were in a cake form which I really loved. The music was really good too. It’s pretty dark in there but that’s part of the old speakeasy vibe! Highly recommend & will def be back!

Bastion was the best dining experience we have ever had. The tasting menu was so good. The service was stellar with staff knowing and calling you by name. We got to try unique things we have never heard of and the best salmon and Tri-tip steak we have ever had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and the wine pairing is a must.
