    Had an incredible experience at Bastion. Sat near the chefs and they encouraged questions. They were all so passionate about their dishes and you could tell. From start to finish, it was phenomenal. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Excellent all around! Service was exceptional, courses were paced very well, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect. Thank you Chef Andy and your team! Go all in for the wine pairing, and if your schedule allows, I would highly recommend a pre-drink at The Patterson House, which is adjacent to the restaurant.
