    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday brunch at Bastille. The quiche/salad plate, the Croque Madame, and the Parisian Benedict were all quite tasty and ample. Merci beaucoup, Bastille!

    Nice, relatively quiet restaurant. Food was very good/excellent, a bit pricey, we'll definitely go again but more for a special occasion than everyday. Wait staff was great.

    Our party all had variations of Eggs Benedict with an additional order of the soup of the day, which was delicious. The standard eggs benedict was good, well cooked and tasted good. The mimosas topped it off!!!

    Bastille is our favorite place to go for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to treat ourselves. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable! Our waiter Pelton was excellent, as always. The Noix de Saint Jacques was especially good, and the Moelleux aux Chocolat was the perfect dessert.
