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.
BastilleResponded 3 days ago

We appreciate your input regarding the frequency of our checks, and we’ll certainly take that into consideration to improve our service. Our goal is to provide a comfortable dining experience, and your insights are invaluable in helping us achieve that. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again soon!

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.
BastilleResponded 3 days ago
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Leonor. We're glad to hear that you continue to enjoy the ambiance of our restaurant. We appreciate your comments regarding our escargot. We would like to clarify that we have not served them in their shells for the past 18 years, but we truly value your perspective. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration as we strive to enhance our offerings. We are committed to continually improving our guest experience, and your insights will guide us in our training and service. We hope to welcome you back soon! Bastille Management

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.
