Bastille was such a lovely surprise! The front room and bar area have a cozy, warm, french-inspired atmosphere playing fun french music and really transporting me. The wine on offer is all delicious. The main dining area has slightly less charm but is still cozy and lovely to dine in. The food was simply wonderful. We went for restaurant week and opted for the wine pairing, which i’m so glad we did. I had the french onion soup, duck breast main and chocolate cake for dessert. Each dish was wonderfully plated and extremely satisfying. Highly recommend!
This place is absolutely fantastic.
My wife and I stopped in during restaurant week and were treated to a wonderful experience from the time we walked in the door.
All of the food was absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional, and I cannot wait to come back.
The hanger steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor.
I am not a big fan of duck, but my wife said it was among the best she has ever had.
The escargot was exactly what you would expect in flavor/preparation, but it did throw me for a loop when they did not come in their shell.

Really great restaurant for celebrating New Year’s Eve! The menu was around $160 per person for New Years and it was totally worth it! It was three courses with wine pairing. Really great combinations, the chef does know their stuff! Would love to be back.
The food was exceptional! We went for our 5 year anniversary and had a lovely time. We brought our own wine because I had a bottle saved for the occasion, but we experienced none of the awkward communication that sometimes comes with that. Our server simply confirmed what type of wine it was to bring out the proper glasses and carried on. The food came out in a timely manner, so we never felt rushed. Every dish was prepared exceptionally well. We ordered both versions of the prix fixe menu so we were able to experience the fabulous skill set of the chefs. I would certainly come here again to taste their lunch and brunch menus. I can't imagine having a bad meal here.
Amazingly kind and attentive service, providing some of the best French food and drink I’ve ever had in an amazingly comfortable dining environment. This is a must-try in Alexandria.
Beautiful evening on the patio. Wonderful food, relaxed and gracious service. Update: returned for birthday dinner…loved the scallops with squash risotto, the charcuterie appetizer with scrumptious walnut fruit bread…delighted by the almond pear tart!
Outstanding little French restaurant. We flew into DCA rush and rather than fight traffic stopped here for dinner on a whim. We ordered gazpacho, onion soup, moules et frites and salade Nicoise. Both soups were fantastic! The Gruyère was amazing in the soup. Both main plates were excellent. We then ordered desserts… these were sublime! Have to come back and try more on the menu! Attentive service and the restaurant is well appointed.
We went for restaurant week and it was hands down the best we've been too! We did the wine pairing as well, and it was definitely worth it! We were impressed with the staff, dazzled by the presentation and service and enjoyed every morsel of delicious food! We will definitely be back! ... update, 6months later we went back and every word still rings true!
