The food here is unbelievable. Cammy was an amazing server with great personality. Nice wines to go with your chicken, steak, or pork. Cocktails are spot on and unique. I gave this place a low atmosphere score because the tables full of “bro groups” were annoying as hell. F-bombs dropped left and right, loud football arguments, and nonstop talk about relations between women and men. The establishment WOULD have had a perfect score from me had it not been for the tables of what seems like frat boys all over the place. Be aware of that if this is meant to be a quiet date.

This place is AMAZING! Our server Patrick was very attentive and good with recommendations about the menu. The atmosphere is awesome and if you can, request to sit upstairs! Parking is a bit precarious; they do have a parking lot but I recommend getting there early. The Wagyu is amazing! I also got the salmon and a chocolate hazelnut martini. Both worth ordering. Also the 3 cheese gnocchi is very delicious!

We recently dined at Bastien’s Restaurant, and while there were some highs and lows, it was an overall enjoyable experience. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm, and upon arrival, we were seated near the kitchen door, which unfortunately didn’t offer the most pleasant view. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it wasn’t ideal. We ordered the 20 oz bone-in ribeye share plate with a house salad and the soup of the day. The steak was cooked beautifully, and the sugar rub they use really elevated the flavors. The sugar rub was only available for rare and medium-rare steaks and it was a nice touch that added something extra special to the meal. For dessert, we went with the bread pudding, and it was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting—definitely a standout dish. One downside was our waitress, who wasn’t very friendly. She seemed a bit distant and less attentive than I would’ve expected, which detracted from the otherwise pleasant meal. Overall, despite the seating being a little less than perfect and the service lacking warmth, the food was fantastic, and the bread pudding was a real highlight. Would definitely consider coming back, but I hope for a more personable service experience next time.

I had the pleasure of being served by Adriana during my visit to Bastien's, and she made the entire dining experience exceptional. From the moment we were seated, Adriana was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She offered great recommendations, and everything she suggested was spot-on. What really stood out was her attention to detail—our drinks were never empty, our orders were perfectly timed, and she checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. She managed to balance professionalism with a warm, welcoming attitude that made us feel genuinely cared for. You can tell she takes pride in her work and truly values her guests’ experience. Adriana is the kind of server who elevates a good meal into a great night out. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for her section!

Came here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We ordered the 12oz ribeye as well as the 8oz Wagyu, both cooked at medium rare. The immense flavor from both the steaks were outstanding, especially if you get their famous sugar rub. For dessert we had the crème brûlée which was very tasty. If you’re looking for a great date night spot/steakhouse, look no further.

INCREDIBLE. I live a block away and have been smelling this place for almost 2 years, can confirm it tastes even better. Went with my gf for our anniversary, we had a blast with our server Kami, every bite of food was delicious, the vibes were so cool. Can't wait to come back and try some more things, though it can't get better than the sugar rub for me. Got a bottle of champs so can't speak to their cocktails, but I'd venture a guess they're amazing too.

Solid steak. I tried the NY strip, jalapeño’d. It was great, and the jalapeño was just the right amount of heat. The baked potato and twice baked potato needed some help. A little butter and love would have gone a long way. Seemed like an afterthought. Atmosphere is perfect for a date night, but feels a little tired. I can understand and appreciate the old school feel, a little more energy would go a long way. this place is a few tweaks away from staying around for another 100 years.
