Too bad there is not a "zero star" rating. Awful night there began with rude waitress who demanded I could not bring in my daughter's stroller. She is an infant, she can't sit in a high chair. It was not a space issue, thoughout the Friday evening the main dining room remained half empty. My option was to sit inside and hold her (how am I going to eat?) or sit outside. This place is NOT in Old Town, it is on the edge of the Section 8 housing by the railroad tracks. So we sat outside. Scallops were gritty, not rinsed at all. Our waiter was never around. Tart tatin for dessert had lived in a refridgerator for at least a week. Way overpriced, rude staff and not worth anyone's time. Go to Bistro Lepic in Georgetown, they never disappoint.
On October 6, 2011 I had a terrible meal at Bastille: My appetizer featured refrigerated and therefore tasteless tomatoes. My duck breast with potatoes entrée featured undercooked white potatoes; when I requested that the chef cook them properly, he refused. Finally, all three of my dessert cheeses came from refrigerator to table without warming up. Bastille served bad food with bad attitude. I don't recommend Bastille.
