    Food was delicious as always. We were there on a Friday night and the restaurant was full (a good thing!). My husband has hearing loss so it was difficult for him to hear. Next time we will go on a weekday night and hope it is quieter.

    Service and food were excellent! I had the bouillabaise which was flavorful and had tender pieces of seafood. My partner had the steak frites, which he enjoyed immensely! Since this was my partner's birthday dinner, the restaurant treated him to a complimentary dessert with a candle on it. Thank you Bastille for making our Birthday dinner very special!! Looking forward to our next meal there!

    Another wonderful visit to Bastille. This time for a delicious and leisurely Sunday brunch. Very generous portions on the pre-fix 3 course meal, delicious food and great value for money. Wonderful staff and service as always.
