Had an amazing time. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the meats are grilled to perfection. The buffet was quite delicious. I would recommend a different music selection, the music was similar to bar music, it could have brought the ambience level down. Otherwise a lovely place to dine.

Unique decor - different theme in every space, but each one fanciful and inviting. We sat in the swing room with a beautiful view of the river (but someone please clean those windows to fully maximize the views!) Food was very tasty with large portions - location and portion size justified the slightly pricey menu. Very friendly service. PERFECT after seeing a matinee at the Broward - a pleasant five minute walk along the river from the theater.

Cafe Bastille has to be one of the very best restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure to dine in. The food is so unbelievably well prepared, the service is friendly and caring, the ambiance is superb, and if you’re fortunate enough to have live music on weekends as we did, it was the cherry on the icing. Go and enjoy!!!
