Service was terrible. I ordered a filet and was not aware it was wrapped in bacon, my fault. I did not argue with the server about it but she was sure to bring the menu back over to me to point out my error. Also, never asked if I would like to order something different since all I ate on my plate was the vegetables. Avoided our table and threw down the to-go box at the end of the meal. On a $200 bill, I shouldn't be packing up my own to-go food. Price point did not match the food or service, big let down. read more

My partner and I stopped in right at open, our server Laura was very knowledgeable. After my Partner was from Wisconsin she correctly guessed he wanted his old fashioned with a splash of sprite. Food was great, down to the butter for the bread which I guess they rotate. Here's the bread pudding, SO delicious read more

Good food. Decent prices poor snotty service which is odd because this place is not fancy Reliable food

Worst restaurant I have eaten, my steak came out like a hockey puck. The lead 'bartender' gave me my drink wrong twice. A terrible experience, 0/10 I would never go back. read more

Just celebrated my birthday here a week ago and it was just as fabulous as ever. There were many holiday parties, however, Kami took excellent care of us. The special was Wagyu and it melted in your mouth. I tried the bread pudding this time and it was phenomenal. Will keep celebrating special occasions here! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. We ordered the filet mignon, a 10 oz NY steak, and their Chef Burger. Everything was cooked as we asked and tasted amazing. The host, waitress, and server were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The retro vibe ensures you know that you aren't eating at just any steakhouse, you are eating at a steakhouse on colorful Colfax. This is traditional steakhouse done exceptionally well. The longevity of this place speaks for itself and its reputation is well deserved as a staple in the Denver scene. read more

Bastien's - Sugar rubbed pork chop - Steakhouses Near Me - Denver, Colorado

an absolute gem! I am so glad to have picked up Bastien's on my IG feed--then a quick yelp check made it clear I needed to go--my suggestion is to get there now. They are a throwback to the best of dining out--a knock out classic cocktail list (where have Colorado Bulldogs been all this time?!), the best of menu staples (twice baked potatoes, french onion soup, and the best Wagyu steak preparation I've had---the rub was to die for. We celebrated a big birthday and the big old-school booth, the fairy lights, the great background music--it was such a perfect vibe for the night. Service was impeccable from start to finish--just like my yelp teammates have said. This place deserves a spot on your roster of classics--I can't believe it took my so long to get there, don't make the same mistake! read more

This was a yelp find. We were in Denver ending a business trip. We found this place. The ribeye with the sugar was amazing. It had such a unique flavor. We also had a butter finger dessert that was great. The only knock was parking is limited in the area so consider Lyft or Uber. Definitely a hidden gem in Denver read more

I was absolutely blown away by this place, the food was outstanding and our waitress was so passionate about food and cocktails. I felt like she made our night into a dining experience and I am still dreaming about my bigger better old fashioned, my filet mignon with a double baked potato, and the greatest Brussels I've ever eaten (Mexican street corn special). It has a cozy atmosphere, and it's on Colfax in the most unlikely place. Do yourself a favor and try it, you definitely won't be disappointed. read more

Bastien's - Bacon wrapped Filet Mignon, twice baked potato, seasonal veggies - Steakhouses Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is an incredible time capsule. The restaurant dates back to the 30s, but the building itself is from the 50s. The music is often from the rat pack era which fits with the overall vibe. They have a full bar service and the steaks are always a treat, especially their famous sugar steaks. The wait staff is always friendly and helpful too. If you think Colfax isn't your thing, think again! read more

I have lived in Denver for 10 years and this was my first time here. So grateful that I decided to come here. The steaks were amazing. Not your typical over priced steakhouse. Great quality food, reasonable prices and excellent friendly service. NY Strip Steak 16oz. Bone In 10/10. The steak toppers both the coffee run and southwestern were amazing 10/10. The banana cream pie was spectacular, second best I have ever had 10/10. The stuffed mushrooms appetizer was very good 8.5/10. The salads were pretty good, they came with the meal, we both had wedges 7/10. The other appetizer was the caprese tortellini skewers, pretty good, a little on the small but great flavor 7/10. The bread on the table was good with seasoned onion or garlic butter 8/10. I am looking forward to getting to come back again soon. A great spot for a night out or a date! read more

Maybe it's just me.. but I didn't particularly enjoy the sugar rub and a side of david (3 shrimp with hollandaise sauce on top) I want steaks to be juicy and full of flavor but maybe I'm not used to steaks being sweet. The taste is definitely different than what I am used to. We sat upstairs and the ambiance was relaxing but a bit loud from other tables. Mashed potatoes were soft and savory. Vegetables were a bit burnt and overdone. Service was ok at first but near the end maybe it was getting busier and server didn't check up on us after until we asked for the check. Not sure if I would come back again. But I visited hearing my friend rave about this place and it's long history. Was a bit disappointed but it could just be my own personal preference in taste. read more

The food at Bastiens was awesome. I had the sugar rub on my 20 oz t-bone. I also had the onion soup which was great. Our server was awesome and I really liked how she rolled. She did forget one of Our appetizers but she handled it well with a dessert for my daughter that represented her birthday night. The ambiance was old school steakhouse but I liked it. The lemonade drink was really good. We will return to Bastiens steak house. read more

Bastien's is totally cool in the "I-do-what I-know-how-to-do" kinda way. They serve better than average steaks prepared exactly like you like them. Each steak comes with a salad, a potato and fresh veggies. And the people, well, they were having a grand old time: High energy, having fun, talking amongst themselves and with their neighboring seat, kind of like a big old block party. Very unlike the more restrained atmosphere of places like Capitol Grille or Elways. And that also went for our server who was so sweet, kind and just plain fun. Finally, the prices are nowhere close to the top end steakhouses...and all of that is just perfect with me.Simply put, its your local community's steakhouse.

It's been around for 87 years and in its unique owner designed carousel structure since '58. I driven past it many a time and started saying we should go there. Last night we finally did and it did not disappoint. Great appetizers! We had bacon wrapped scallops on flash fried spinach cooked to perfection. I tried the Bigger Better cocktail--bourbon, amaretto, brown sugar simple syrup, black walnut bitters and a lucrado cherry. Sweet and delightful. I went with the classic 10 ounce New York strip steak medium rare with the sugar rub and steak fries and grilled Caesar salad. The steak was great--juicy and flavorful with a hint of sweetness and other spices. The fries were amazing--creamy in the inside, crisp on the outside. Who would have thought grilling the romaine would have such an impact. My partner had the special wagyu culotte, a rare cut to see anywhere. His was rare on cheddar mash potatoes with a tasty French onion soup. He chose the black and tan preparation which is mushrooms, demiglace and Gorgonzola. Very savory. Breadsticks with a savory garlic butter start you off and along with the potato option, soup or dinner salad, and vegetables are included. The grilled Caesar was well worth the upgrade. We chose from an impressive wine list two different red wines to accompany our dinners. Montepulciano and Sangiovese, both wonderful. Finally we somehow squeezed in a slice of coconut banana crème pie with fresh brewed coffee for me and Nespresso for them. The service was incredible--informative and attentive. The vibe was very old school steakhouse with copper accents, etched logos, lots of tucked in divided spaces for groups of diners. It was busy with customers but a relaxed experience. Definitely will return and recommend. read more

Great family style steakhouse Unique ambience and architecture. Friendly service I highly recommend the sugar steak (the sweetness is subtle) and dry aged steak. Onion soup was too salty and pork chop was so so ( not tender enough) It was a special occasion and they served complimentary cheese cake. Very thoughtful and the cheese cake was delicious!! read more

What a hidden gem!!! Truly old school~ great ambiance, wonderful food that was simple but spot on, and amazing service from Sarah. When the bill arrived I thought it was going to be WAY more. Perfectly cooked steak, (and having been a chef for X number of yrs I have been know to be picky...haha), super tender and delicious. We ordered desserts and that was one amazing banana cream pie!! Notice how steak houses don't post their prices?? Not this place. They don't fleece their clientele. We'll be back!! read more

Great steaks and outstanding service! Love this place! The menu has plenty to choose from. Be sure to ask for Lara as your server.

Food and service was OK. Ambiance was good, place has a lot of character. Word of warning, don't go here in the summer. The AC is either very old and needs to be fixed, or they don't have it. It was uncomfortably warm, especially if you're sitting upstairs! read more

Amazing atmosphere. Best high end steak restaurant in Denver. Sugar steak should be on everyone's bucket list

We looked up top steaks in Denver and found this retro place with unique atmosphere and great customer service. The food was amazing. We started with the bareback shrimp - the flavor was spot on and super spicy! We ordered the stroganoff, sugar rub New York strip and the 4x4. The food was cooked to perfection. For desert we got the sizzlin apple pie with ice cream. Yummy! We will definitely be back! Thanks to Patrick for taking care of us. read more

Apparently one of Denver's institutions... restaurant looked a little date. Still made a reservation nonetheless... had to cancel three times and reschedule. Yesterday, we came in. It was packed. We were escorted to take our table... and man, was I glad I got a table! Super old school, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra posters on the walls, dimly lit ambience and old school Italian music in the air. We had steaks. Man, great portion sizes, the sugar rub on my rib eye was phenomenal, made a nice charred glaze on medium rare meat! So juicy and tasty! We also had the new work strip grilled and prepared same style. Soooooo good. No culinary acrobatics but good ole' home cooked perfection. Desserts were marvelous too-- we had a sizzling peach pie a la mode and a rich velvety chocolate cake. The pie was a nice mix of hot and cold and sweet and tart. Cannnot go wrong with that one. And if you have a sweet tooth... this is the chocolate cake you imagine when you think chocolate cake. Again, simple, but CORRECT. We left super full. And we will keep this one a secret. One of Denver's finest secrets. What a gem. read more

Ok bear with me on this trip down memory lane. I actually took my prom date to Bastians and to find it's still open after all this time was astonishing! I have never had meal here you order a medium rare steak and that's what you get they have never screwed up a steak! Their vegetable's are fresh and desserts delicious. It is seriously a walk down memory lane every time I go there and I love it the ambiance seriously hasn't changed. The service is always on point before during and after the meal and if you like cocktails their bar is awesome. I recommend a reservation but I have walked in and had dinner at the bar a time or 2 and still had a fantastic meal and service. 5 stars read more

Service was impeccable. It was a busy Saturday night but our server Lara took the time to explain everything and truly seemed to care about the food and the restaurant. She recommended drinks I had the Love Potion and it was delicious, my husband had one of their limited old fashion. He didn't care for it much, he thought it was took sweet. We both had steaks. I had the ribeye sugar style with a house salad with ranch and mashed potatoes. Pretty sure this was the best ranch I've ever had. I'm going to be craving it for a long time. Steak was cooked well, the sugar style was sweet but not too sweet. It provided a nice char on the outside. Hubs had the wagyu David style with a grill Caesar salad and twice bake potato. Steak was cooked well and he liked the David style. We had bread pudding for desert and it was A+. read more
