  1. I'd been sadly underwhelmed the last time I went to Bastille (after loving it all the other times I've been). I'm glad to say that whatever bad mojo it suffered when I visited a few months back seems to have been shaken off, and I had the best meal I've ever had there today at brunch (which is a meal that so many places get tres, tres wrong). Duck confit hash with a fried egg on top, decadent, original and not as over-the-top rich as it sounds. Chocolate pot du creme with cherry compote that really sang. The servers were a little weeded, but it really all was lovely, and I'm now thinking this might supplant Tallulah as my go-to Virginia brunch spot.
  2. I ate here the other night with a friend and thought it was pretty good...nicely charred halibut in a black olive sauce, grilled squid with butter beans as an appetizer. The wine list is good (if longer than it needs to be, maybe), and the wait staff was good in an old-fashioned way. It's on a kind of lost and lonely corner in McLean, but the atmosphere leans toward warm and soothing. I'd go back, though I'm not over the moon about it.
