   We find the food at Bastille to be consistently delicious, and we find the service to be consistently attentive. We especially enjoy eating out on the patio, but we also enjoy the sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance inside. One of our favorite restaurants in Alexandria.

   The waiters need to be a little less hovering and doing multiple checks. Check once, then just observe. But they were all friendly and courteous.

   Ambiance continues to be great but quality of food has declined. Escargots which used to be first on my list are no longer served in their shells, shrimp starters (can’t think of the right name now) are mediocre. Waiters must serve food behind and not in front of customers especially when serving someone at the end of the table.

   Excellent neighborhood bistro. Reliable French classics with a modern twist. The fixed price dinners are a great value.

   Bastille remains one of the very best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria. All four of us loved what we ordered (duck breast/duck confit/risotto/scallops) and the service we received from Darya was impeccable. We've been here many times before and will undoubtedly revisit many times in the future.

   Excellent food as always. I like the option to choose between 2 prix fixe menus or a la carte. Wine list is reasonable. I wish it were a bit less noisy.
