    Quality of the food is excellent. While expensive, you certainly get what you pay for. At the time of visiting, the air conditioning was not fully working, but it did not retract too much from the experience.

    Overall, outstanding dining experience at Bastille. Food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. Noise level was a little louder than I like, as conversations at my table were difficult at times, but overall, no major problems.

    We celebrated my milestone birthday with a bottle of champagne and an outstanding and delicious dinner, including dessert. Our starters were foie gras and escargot. Our entrees were Trout Almandine and Magret de Canard a l'Orange. Dessert was Moelleux aux Chocolat et Cerises. Service was impeccable, and the noise level was fairly quiet to moderate as more people were seated. Every dish was well prepared, presented, creative, and delicious. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.
