Overall, a very good experience!
I visited during Restaurant Week and chose the $55 menu. The food was excellent and the soupe à l’oignon gratinée starter was perfect.
For my entrée, I selected the Noix de St-Jacques, a delicious truffle risotto topped with exquisitely seared scallops. I only wished there had been more risotto to make the dish more substantial.
The Coupe Mont-Blanc dessert was the star of the show. It was a true masterpiece.
Overall, a thoughtfully executed meal and a casual Restaurant Week experience worth repeating.

We tried Bastille Brasserie & Bar for the first time during Restaurant Week and all the food was amazing! The sorbet desserts were my favorite but I also really enjoyed the yellowfin tuna and panzanella salad. The price was reasonable, our server was nice and the patio provided a great ambience. Definitely recommend this place!

We celebrated our anniversary here and were lucky enough to have Andres H as our server. He was just the best of the best – old school hospitality, a step above, really making it feel like a special meal. He’s charming and funny and attentive and wonderful, a total star.
We both did a prix fixe dinner and got a bottle of wine – there was a 30% discount on bottles this evening so it was a pretty great deal.
One of our meals was onion soup, duck à l’orange, and cheese plate, and the other was pâté, moules frites, and crème brûlée. There wasn’t a dud in the batch – I’d highly recommend any and all to bring you joy. Extra credit to the person who came by to ask if I’d like ketchup, aioli, or mustard for my fries – love an option.
I hope this place gets its flowers and is a success for a billion years, I love it so much!

Juan Ramirez and his team, including our server Kevin, made my dad’s 80th birthday celebration our best yet! With my dad’s birthday falling on Valentine’s, I reached out to Bastille months in advance to accommodate our large party – and they were happy to coordinate with me, and made sure our space was accessibility-friendly. We’ve eaten at Bastille many times, and this meal was extraordinary (cheers chef!)! We all left the table satiated in body and soul. Thanks for a memorable event for our entire family, Juan! We look forward to the next one.

Food was good overall but the dessert I had ordered was too sweet for my liking and unfortunately there was a draft that everyone at my table could feel. We were sitting in the bar seating area.

We took our friend out for his birthday. He chose Bastille. It’s a decent restaurant and pretty popular with its clientele.
Our waiter was really nice. He was friendly and helpful.
My friends ordered the cold asparagus soup (special for the day) and I got the chicken liver pate. I enjoyed my dish. My friends didn’t say much about the soup but they must have liked it because they cleaned out the bowl!!
For the main dish, I got the trout almondine. The fish was soft and fork tender. Perhaps a bit too much butter!! The others ordered the duck breast and steak frites. Overall we were content with the meal.
For dessert, I got the profiterole and one friend got the sorbet. Nice, but not outstanding.

I attended a wedding luncheon at this restaurant. The appetizers were genuinely enjoyable, and the staff clearly put effort into setting up the event. While there were some areas that could’ve been improved, overall, their preparation was adequate for the occasion.
However, I was taken aback by one particular incident. I requested a medium-rare steak, but what I received was nearly well-done—charred, rubbery, and heavily overseasoned to the point of bitterness. As shown in the photo, the portion was small to begin with, and by the third piece, I simply couldn’t eat any more.
I politely asked the staff if the dish could be remade or substituted. The response I got was disappointing. I was told that the kitchen had only prepared enough food for the expected guest count—which struck me as questionable, since I knew several invitees didn’t end up attending. What truly frustrated me, though, was when the staff member remarked that she might have been able to help had I not eaten the steak. That logic didn’t sit right with me. If the kitchen had only prepared a limited number of meals, then it shouldn’t have mattered whether I had taken a few bites or not. Besides, how could I have known the quality of the dish without tasting it? It felt like a no-win, catch-22 situation.
What bothered me most wasn’t just the poorly cooked steak, but the attitude with which the issue was handled. Apart from the appetizers, the rest of the meal ranged from mediocre to disappointing. Frankly, I’m relieved I never tried this restaurant before, despite living nearby for the past decade.

Amazing restaurant with friendly staff. I had the Pri fix menu with the burger for the main course, and this was easily the best burger I have had in years. The side salad had a perfectly balanced vinaigrette and the fries were great with the house ketchup. My sister had the Duck a la cart, which looked delicious but the plates are too tasty to share even a bite. The old fashion was very well made and the wine recommendation was a perfect match for the duck.

This beautiful authentic restaurant is a hidden gem in Alexandria! Amazing service and the food is so delicious. I recommend the perfectly cooked lamb chops, the beef with mashed potatoes. the 3 course meal that was offered was a great price. From appetizers to dessert everything was perfectly thought out. Definitely recommend this place! Dibs was an amazing waiter very attentive.

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.
