Asador Bastian Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Stellar! I can't compliment this place enough.
The ambiance and decor is gorgeous. The service, attentiveness and knowledge of our server Earl really made our dining experience spectacular. The GM was also very welcoming and kind and his rounds during the night added a special touch, letting us know that we were appreciated and making sure we were well taken care of. But the food....?!?!?! Wow! Everything was delicious! Short rib tortellini from the specials needs to be added to the regular menu. We tried the garlic prawns, hongos & huevo, sole amandine, asparagus with oxtails and the Akaushi and everything was amazing. The flavors complimented each other, but each dish had its own depth. The sole was cooked perfectly. The steak was amazing! Cooked and seasoned to perfection. The complimentary amuse bouche was a little perfect addition.
The prices do lot justify the amount of food you get.
We ordered the española with jamón ( skip the jamón, $18 1-2 oz you get), shaved root salad, galicianian steak - absolute $145, medium rare) and ibérico rice (delicious but so small amount) equaled out with alcohol was $345. I would go again but sit downstairs in the booth at the bar area. Service on par and ambiance is very romantic. This will be something where you wouldn't go on a regular basis but is good and expensive.
My husband and I were very excited to try this restaurant.
Regrettably, we were left paying $500 for an average meal (at best) and literally took our daughter to Portillos after and we came home and made smoothies. Let's start with the good. The cocktail and the Iberico jamon were delicious. The gem salad was average. We ordered the sole and Holstein steak. As steak lovers all of us were left uninspired. My daughter and I only had 2 bites and my husband ate as much as he could as not to waste the meal. The steak smelled and tasted gamey. We were told the steaks were a special cut and none tasted like a traditional USDA ribeye or similar (as we even offered to purchase another). We were then told they could make use a burger of similar cut meat to which we declined. The staff should be super transparent that the steak is not a typical flavor or USDA steaks, especially for the price. While we are upset at dropping $500 for a meal most of us didn't eat, we are glad we tried it and know now that we will not be returning.
This might be the best restaurant I have ever been to, and
This might be the best restaurant I have ever been to, and I've been to Many! The atmosphere, service, and overall, of course, the food, are amazing! I highly recommend a sherry tasting. The sommelier is amazing, patient, and answered many questions I had about the regions, parings, and more! I highly recommend Asador Bastian!
Incredible experience from start to finish.
Staff was wonderfully attentive and helpful with suggestions.
Game here solely for the cocktail.
The drink was stiff to say the least & I have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol. It also had good balance as no flavor outshined the other but it honestly didn't reflect a $30 cocktail. Staff was friendly & engaged. Patrons were dressed down & were loud/boisterous. I'm slightly curious to return for dinner but I'm in no rush.
Fantastic food.
At at bar. Bar tenders were amazing and knowledgeable. Shout out to Nelson. Best bartender in Chicago!
Underwhelming
For the price, this place was underwhelming and sloppy. Waiter seemed to want to get more money but why? It’s already super expensive. Based on the caliber they’re going for it didn’t sit right. It took about an hour from being seated to get any food. The waiter wanted us to see the raw cuts of meat and fish before we saw the menu, which took too long. We were starving. He recommended five appetizers, but appetizers are fairly large so by the time the fish came out, I was barely hungry, and by the time the steak came out, I was no longer interested. I was completely full after the appetizer portion. The truffle ravioli was absolutely delicious and I could have gone home after eating that.
First this restaurant was intimate and the ambiance was
First this restaurant was intimate and the ambiance was well suited for an anniversary dinner or special occasion. So let me start with the good. The food was excellent. The carpaccio was light and delicious with just the right amount of seasoning to put it over the top. The tortilla española was not what I expected which is fine since of course the chef would provide his own flair to the dish. However, having traveled extensively through Spain I was disappointed with this dish. Think runny egg not cooked egg or cold dish but rather a warm egg and potato dish. I would comment it was not what I expected. Our steak was the 100% akaushi (wagyu steak). It absolutely melted in your mouth but seriously steak knives were dull! I have had wagyu and yes it was buttery and amazing but we had the hardest time slicing with these knives. Definitely not what I expect from a chophouse. Here is where I ask is this a Chophouse or just a trendy Spanish restaurant? So being a lifelong Chicagoan the word Chophouse means something as there are many Steak restaurants to choose from and service is impeccable and it's about the Steak . This is where my review turns to service and it was a Saturday so while I understand slow I don't understand inconsistent. It took our waiter a while before he showed up at our table to introduce himself and provide menus. He also never gave us the drink menu which we learned later did exist but we didn't think to ask. I guess that is our fault but we don't often need to ask for menus of any sort and since clearly liquor is always a cash cow. We were seated and probably 10 minutes later a 4 top was seated to the left of us. Their server came over right away got their drinks and asked them if he could explain the menu all before our waiter even came back to take our order and explain the menu so we watched which really made our service feel mediocre. He returned with drinks for them and a steak board that highlights the various steaks and preparation etc. He explained everything to them and was very on top of his table in a good way. Well not for us. So our waiter acknowledged we were there celebrating our anniversary but sadly that was all he ever said and we never felt like we got even consistent service comparatively and it was hard not to notice. There was nothing done to acknowledge our special occasion or anything. We basically waited and just ordered drinks we wanted and upon our waiter's return we thought okay we have now had menus a while he may stop and explain some things but nope. We basically had to ask if he could explain portion sizes etc since steaks here are listed by pound and not ounces which is customary. He never brought out the steak tray and rushed through the explanation. It just felt like he only stopped by to get things moving not to provide any help or suggestions. Eventually even a newly seated table to the right of us also had to ask him to provide an explanation and advice on the menu. In the end we had empty drinks but he never noticed, thank gosh we ordered our wine with our dinner since we were not sure how often he would come back. We sat a while after we finished our meal and based on his timing we opted to skip dessert. So we enjoyed the meal and packed up and left to have dessert and drinks somewhere else. All this to say consistency matters and if you are a steak restaurant then yes show the steak board and try to have staff provide consistent service since we had wished for the waiter that was taking care of the 4-top and felt like our letting the restaurant know it was our anniversary really didn't matter. We enjoyed the meal but felt our inconsistent service lead to a less enjoyable anniversary meal.
The combination of the extraordinary food, magnificent
The combination of the extraordinary food, magnificent service, and stunning ambiance made this arguably the best dining experience of my life. I would specifically ask to sit at one of the booths in the bar, the dining room is beautiful but the bar booths offer a much more intimate experience. We had Yousof as our server and he was amazing! We had never been to a Spanish restaurant so we were unfamiliar with most the dishes and wines. We really had to rely on Yousof's explanation and his recommendations and let me tell you- he was spot on with everything! We were blown away by every dish and the wine pairings were perfect, Yousof even brought us a couple samples of different Spanish style wines that we had never tried before. For food we ordered the tortilla espanola with jamon (don't skip out on adding the jamon, it was well worth it!), garlic prawns, braised beef cheek tortellini, galaciana steak, and tallow fried potatoes. It felt like after each course came out we had a new favorite! Truly have 0 complaints, we will 100% be back and make sure to ask for Yousof! We really felt like he made the experience so much more enjoyable
My coworkers and I had a dinner here.
From the outside, you would never find this restaurant unless you knew it was here. No signage beside the small sign in front of the door and the door looks like an entrance to a persons nice home. When you walk in, it's got a very nice decor. you walk upstairs into the upscale restaurant. The service is top-notch, and the food was excellent. Everything was so tasty and made just right. They changed the plating and the utensils to make sure everything was clean after every course. We had a seven course meal with dessert steak shrimp, fish, salad, sardines, caviar, cheesecake dessert, etc. We also had recommended bottles of wine from the Somalia. We kept it off with espresso martinis. Everything was better than expected. We spent about $250 per person which was worth the experience.
The Basque know how to cook and eat and this place
The Basque know how to cook and eat and this place definitely lives up to that tradition. The restaurant is cozy and warm, the service is spot on. The food? Wow. The star of the show is the steak. They serve "aged on the hoof" beef sourced from boutique ranches. The meat is cooked over coal fire and the result is truly one of the best steaks I've ever had. In this steak town, that's saying a lot!
Not your everyday steakhouse
Bringing Spanish influence, it gives a much different vibe to your typical American steakhouse. Set in a townhouse converted into a restaurant, it's unsuspecting & easy to miss as you drive by. The dining room is small and intimate, and the food is fantastic. Great spot for a date night or a celebration. The only negative comment was the noticeably slow service. The steak was perfectly cooked and everything else was delicious. Steak is served by the cut of choice and weight desired, and the wine list was extensive, but pricey.
Good, but not great.
Good experience, overall, but this place can be much better if they want to truly go for providing experiences that are something more than "good." Our experience was not exceptional. It was just, good. We went to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and were looking forward to a little something special at a new restaurant to us. (Spoiler alert) If you answer their reservation questions about what you're celebrating, don't expect that they will do anything special for you. We received a "Happy Anniversary" comment when our server presented our bill. That was it. We went in with high hopes of a bit more personalized service. The service was good but not great. We also heard so much about how great the streaks are. We shared some really nice appetizers (razor clams and sardines) and a very nice bottle of wine. The fish course, sole, was very nice, too. The much more pricey steak, on the other hand, was chewy and not silky smooth as the menu suggests. Lots of weight for the price in gristle and bone. Go for the fish! Good .... but, definitely not exceptional for the nearly $700 price tag for two. We will likely try again, but will go in a little wiser than for our first try.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
