Excellent food, good spacing for the tables, a wonderful night out with friends. Would highly recommend for a celebration.

We loved the Bastille experience! Everything was perfect and the service could not be better. We enjoyed the French onion soup which was the cheesiest and best we ever had. The muscles were delicious and the pomme frites were the best we ever had. The scallops were a big hit as was the caesar salad. We will be back. The birthday girl left with leftovers. Merci for the lovely evening.

We recently celebrated our anniversary at the bistro…. The staff was extra delightful and attentive!

Food was amazing but it felt like they were rushing us out of the door/test air ant. Don’t allow people to make an 8:30 reservation if you’re trying to close by 9:30! They stopped the music and we’re clearly trying to close while we were having dessert.

Delicious French restaurant. The server was very attentive and always "on time" with what we needed, including a card for our special occasion. The food was delicious and reminded us of food from fine restaurants across France. The escargot and calamari were unbelievable. The creme brulee and chocolate were rich and delicious. The wine pairings fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

I had a change of plans on NYE and was able to get a last minute reservation here. I had never been here before and didn’t know what to expect. It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I’ve found a new favorite restaurant. I’ll definitely be going back.

Delicious food, but the prix fixe was a little rushed, not enough time between courses.

Still highly recommend, however.

The food is amazing! Everything we ordered was cooked well and seasoned perfectly! The staff and service were just amazing!

Always excellent, great food, knowledgeable wait staff!

Great food and service!

we were early, so it was quiet, as there were not a lot of people. Once more arrived it got fairly loud. But Bastille is always a good time.

We were at Bastille for brunch; the food was delicious, the service was excellent. I have been there before for brunch, and I was very pleased. I will definitely go back!
Thank you, Bastille staff, for such a wonderful experience.

We were surprised by the fact that dinner on Christmas Eve was fixed price. I’m sure it must have been announced somewhere, but I never saw it on Open Table, on Bastille’s website, or on the Open Table confirmation. I was, however, very clear on the reservation cancellation policy. Somehow the fixed price menu, though, was missed. Most members of our party ordered the beef and said it was excellent. My halibut was dry but the flavor was good. 3 out of our 4 entrees were cleared while I was still eating mine. We were a late seating so I appreciate the fact that the staff was ready to go home. Desserts were very good and so was the wine we selected. Really the biggest bummer of the evening was the surprise fixed price menu. As I said, I’m sure it’s my fault for missing that somewhere, but it wasn’t as well advertised as the cancellation policy which I did see multiple times.

We had an early reservation. My friend and I felt pushed into a corner and when we asked to move, we really didn’t understand the reason given as to why we couldn’t. Also we felt rushed and one server was inattentive. She asked me how everything was, and I told delicious except for the Brussels . sprouts which were overdone. She said, “that’s good”

My main menu item of beef was exceptional.

This is a favorite restaurant of ours in Alexandria. Its excellent and its excellence is very consistent. Made for a special occasion to have Christmas Eve dinner there.

Delicious food. Great service.

Excellent on all counts!

I eat out a lot and try different restaurants all the time. I also am a decent cook myself and have very high standards when I dine out. The food here was outstanding. We had both pre fixe menus plus two additional appetizers with the wine pairings. The flavor and texture of everything was perfect and the portion sizes were generous, but not too much. The wine pairings were distinct for each dish, and went very well together. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Another fabulous and delicious dinner with good friends at Bastille. Bastille never ever disappoints!

The maître’d was extremely accommodating when I called to modify the reservation. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely magnificent.

we had a very pleasant meal, good wine, and it was quiet.

Went as a group of 4. The dining room is nice & modern in feel. The food was excellent. The Foie Gras and escargot are not to be missed!

Terrific food and service. The wine list is excellent as well.

Delicious food at a good price, spacious seating, helpful staff

My husband had the duck leg and I had the braised lamb shank. Both were excellent.

Birthday celebration for my wife

The service, as always was excellent. The two apps - escargots and squash soup were also excellent. The entrees, unfortunately weren’t up to their usual standards. The medium steak & frites was at least medium/well if not well done. And the scallops were definitely smaller than I’m used to from them - could be a seasonal thing. So, while it was good, it was below expectations and not what we are used to from them.

We were greeted with a warm and professional welcome frame William. It was so great to see him again. We last saw William February 2019.
We requested outdoor seating the patio was clean, William ensure we were warm and comfortable. Our service was impeccable, our meal delicious. I enjoyed shrimp and grits, my husband enjoyed Ouefs Benedict.

Rich, lively flavors and interesting ingredients. The shrimp beignets were terrific, but the sea scallops were just about the best thing I've ever tasted.

Bastille never fails to provide an enjoyable time.

Been meaning to try place for months. Decided towards end of week wanted to go somewhere for a few drinks and was place we decided on. Service at first was quick and attentive with our sparkling water and alcoholic beverages arriving quickly along with appetizer. Jacob-the bartender did a good job of handling bar patrons and us who were seated at table in bar area. Only issues my party had were the overzealous staff in our opinion trying to clear our appetizer when clearly had roughly a quarter left. The other issue was the fact it took us ~20 min to get our dessert on a clearly not busy night where one could see restaurant occupancy was at no more than ~40%. May be back to try their entrees before making a final decision on the restaurant and when do can only hope dessert does not take as long this time.

Absolutely outstanding-from service to food , divine !!!

Everything was awesome! The happy hour/house red was AMAZING!! Rudy at the bar was great! Their marketing/social media person is sassy, but that won’t take away from a great experience

Delicious food and drinks. Exceptional service. Thank you!

The dining staff went out of their way to help our party celebrate friend’s birthday by proving a handwritten card and celebratory sparkling wine! Bastille is one of my go to restaurants. always reliable.

Excellent food and service. The best mushroom soup I’ve ever had on the foodie scene on 3 continents! Great brunch 3 course meal value too. Def highly recommend!

We ate at Bastille today and though the food was fine, I was greatly disappointed with the service, and what I felt was a minor request. We had a Celiac in our party and asked politely if an omelette could be made. This was not on the menu, but in my estimation could have easily been made. There were other egg preparations offered. We were told that eggs could only be plain scrambled. Of course, we would have paid what the restaurant expected for the request. Perhaps, I am wrong but the inflexibility and curtness was surprising.

The Thanksgiving dinner was amazing, so thankful they shared their kitchen and staff on a day we couldn’t cook at home. Excellent old-fashioned to start, followed by a perfect autumn salad of beets and squash. The pumpkin creme caramel for dessert was amazing too. Great people, great location, great food… why we keep going back.

Went for the 3 course Thanksgiving dinner and were blown away! From starter to dessert quality and taste of everything and I mean everything was outstanding and delectable. Ingredients were fresh and tasty and the chef’s presentation and preparation were all on point! Definitely will be back again and invite friends.
