Went for my birthday this year with my wife and daughter. Service was friendly and adequate, a bit inattentive as they got busy. Food missed the mark for all of us: burger was good, but fries were not crisp (inexcusable in a French restaurant!); rockfish special was nicely cooked, but couscous accompaniment was sweet like tapioca pudding; shellfish soup had too many mussels (wife specifically requested more clams than mussels, which are not a favorite), and there was a thick layer of sand in the otherwise tasty broth. (They did comp the latter dish when we complained about the sand, to their credit.)

I will probably go back to Bastille, but next time I'll probably sit in the bar, rather than the dining area, and I'll be choosier about what I order.

Our server had a hard time coordinating with the bar. It took three tries to get a cocktail. Worse, there was a lag of at least five, maybe ten, minutes between when our entrees arrived and when our wine came to the table. We had ordered a carafe of house wine at the same time we ordered our meals, and asked for it to be brought with the entrees. This should not have been difficult to coordinate, but our server didn't seem to communicate well with the bar and with the other server who brought our food.

We ordered off the $25 Restaurant Week menu. Our starter was a slice of pressed pork ( I can't remember the actual name of the dish; it is not on the regular menu.) that came with grainy mustard, mixed olives, and something that was probably pickled turnips. The quality of the ingredients, and the care with which is was prepared and presented, seemed very high, but the pork was too bland to work as an appetizer. Adding the mustard actually highlighted the lack of flavor. Our next course, the entree, was a duck confit. This was great. I liked everything about it and the bed of vegetables on which it was served. We finished with a pear tart (served with vanilla ice cream and a caramel sauce) that was perfect in every way. It kills me that it's not on their regular menu.
