Café Bastille Fort Lauderdale 704 Southeast 1st Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301

"Very nice place with a view of the canal and very good food. Excellent service. Come in advance. In my case, I waited 1 hour."

"Heard so much about this place so had to see for myself. Unfortunately at the time I came they ran out of pastries. I then opted for the Southern Steak Bowl. It was a pretty hearty meal. I wanted to sit outside but it was way too cold. The waitress was accommodating enough to let me move inside. Overall had a good experience and would love to go back to try the pastries."

"Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious, the restaurant is super cute on the river. Came on a Saturday morning around 10:30, was told it’d be a 40 minute wait my group was willing to do. Needless to say, we waited 2 1/2 HOURS. By the time we got sat we were no longer in the happy mood we were when we arrived excited to try a new place. Unfortunately for some odd reason they do not take reservations. I recommend going on a Monday morning to avoid this issue and it should seriously be addressed by management."

"Food was delicious, service was excellent and quaint atmosphere. The wait is a bit much but at least you won't regret it when you walk out. Choc croissant and cinnamon pancakes were amazing."

"It is a really cute spot in FLL, the hostess is really helpful and nice, but when we got seated is when we had an issue. The server took about 15-20 minutes just to greet us and bring out water, didn’t acknowledge our presence. We understand being busy, just say “hi, I’ll be right with you” and we’ll be good. She took our order and didn’t send our main courses, never checked back on us. After some time we got transferred to another server. The food and drinks were delicious, no remarks on it. You can’t go wrong with a dish and they also come out fast. Too bad that the service is horrible at this place, considering that the food is delicious and fast. Either they need more staff or more quality workers. No shade on the servers, better communication between each out could go long way. *note: they have 18% included on every check, maybe that puts the servers in a comfort zone. Needs HUGE improvement in service."
