   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.

   Another fabulous dining experience at Bastille for a family birthday meal. The welcome, food and service never disappoint and we love going back for the food, ambience and the people. The duck breast and filet steak frites are our go to entrees and both dishes were as delicious as ever. We just love the quality and consistency and great value of the whole experience.
