Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Clinton

A wonderful winter destination and superb service. The food is varied and always delicious. Enjoying it in front of the fire on a cold rainy afternoon is just about perfect!!

The dinner (rib eye and fillet mignon) was excellent. The server (Adam) provided everything upon request. He made the evening a joy for us. I’m planning another outing when the weather gets warmer.

My date and I had the same meal(prime rib,mashed potatoes). I had the chop salad which was good and my date loved the cream of crab soup. The calamari was delicious and our drinks(lemon drop)was perfect. The ambiance is always nice, especially if you sit by the window. Our waitress was very attentive and everyone we came in contact with was so pleasant. Customer service all around thumbs up! Thank you!

Bastille is truly a gem. This is our "go-to" restaurant for a fantastic meal and dining experience. Tonight, each of us had the Brasserie Prix Fixe, with the following appetizers: Escargots (snails), Salad de Betteraves (beets) et Citrus, and Beignets des Crevettes (rock shrimp fritters). Two of us orderd the Magret de Canard aux Poivres (duck breast with pears), and one had the Boeuf Bourguignon (beef in wine sauce). We all finished with the Napolean dessert, which is an innovative take on the classic, full of flavors and textures. Everything was truly delicious. The duck, which I had, was flawless. The duck breast itself, cooked perfectly medium rare, was so flavorful, enhanced by a delicious, rich, wine-based sauce and stewed pears. The entree was accompanied by the best wild rice I have ever had - a perfect balance of umami and saltiness, and a nutty crunch to the grains. The broccolini, paired with melting cippolini onions, was flavorful and tender, cooked to perfection. It is not an exaggeration to say I enjoyed every bite of my meal. As always, the service was friendly and attentive, just the right balance. Everyone, from our server to the bus people, to the manager and hostess, provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere in the bistro, where we often prefer to sit, is comfortable and charming, with a lively buzz of activity, but is not too loud. The bistro tables and chairs bring one back to France. I am from NYC, where we have plenty of great restaurants, including French cuisine stars, but I can honestly say that Bastille is my favorite French restaurant on the East Coast. I cannot wait to return. Bon appetit!

Another awesome meal and dining experience! Always make a trip here when in town and have never been disappointed. Food was fresh and delicious and the staff were highly attentive which enhanced the dining experience. I will be back!!
