    The best place to have a meal. A hidden gem. I wish they had reservations for brunch but all in all it’s worth the wait! Love, love, love! 💕

    Great atmosphere. Peppers were great, but the rest of the tapas were just OK.

    We are so excited that Cafe Bastille now has dinner!! So excited we came twice in two weeks. First of all, Allie is the best!! She was our server both times. She is very knowledgeable about the menu and so sweet! Everyone at Cafe Bastille from the owner, to the manager, to Allie are so nice and welcoming. We had several rounds of tapas, everything g was very tasty. Must haves are the Coffee Rubbed Steak and Beef and Lamb Meatballs. Finished with Beignets and Bread Pudding, so good! Not only is the food great but the ambiance and view of the river make Cafe Bastille very special. It’s a little piece of heaven on the river.

    This place is known for breakfast/brunch and lovely ambiance. We went for dinner. Ambiance at dinner was gorgeous. Dinner menu very limited. Was mostly tapas/small plates with two entree specials. Food took a long time and came out very cold. They brought the entrees before the appetizer/small plates. The entree specials tasted good the two tapas plates we ordered calamari and potatoes were blah/ forgettable. Our server was super nice. Three stars are primarily for the really lovely setting/ambiance. Their day time menu is much better.
