Fodor's Expert Review Bastille Kitchen

Clubby, homey, grand: all describe the look and feel of this Fort Point--located, contemporary French restaurant that will provide one of the best meals you've ever eaten in Boston. At first glance, the ambience can feel a little sceney, but that all falls away when you taste the chef's take on brasserie staples like moules frites, garlic escargot, duck à l'orange, and salmon Provençal. Loungey lower level bar, the Chalet, serves cocktails and a nice selection of wine.
