Patrick, our server, was top notch. It was our 1st time there and he made it such a memorable time. The food was fantastic and they really know how to space out the timing for bringing the appetizers, salad and main food. They even gave us a piece of cheesecake for our anniversary. Only thing I'd complain about is the price of wine as 1 glass cost as much as a bottle I could purchase at the store. read more

My husband picked this restaurant and it was his favorite place we had our whole trip. I didn't care for the seasoning on the filet but it was cooked correctly and tender. I'm not a fan of the lettuce used for the salads. He didn't care for the balsamic on the grilled Caesar salad, but he did love the sugar ribeye and white cheddar mashed potatoes. The crème brûlée was pretty good. environment was nice, a little loud overall. service was great. read more

We went back for my birthday and it was a night and day experience! Everyone was super attentive and I absolutely LOVED (kinda can't stop thinking about them almost 2 months later) the mashed potatoes with the spicy peppers and cream cheese. Of course, the bread and butter was divine and the old-fashioned was amazing compared to my last visit! We're definitely planing on going back again sometime soon! read more

I really enjoyed my first Bastien's experience tonight! Bastien's is known as home of the sugar steak which means they are known for cooking steak with a sugar rub. *Spoiler alert - it's delicious!* We went to celebrate a friend's birthday, and enjoyed a great old school steakhouse dinner. In addition to steak, Bastien's serves burgers, chicken, pork, entree salads, some pasta dishes. and salmon. I tried the steakhouse burger (with slim fries), and really enjoyed it! It was delicious and juicy. My partner got the classic NY strip with garlic mashed potatoes. There are vegetarian options here (not much vegan), and a huge cocktail list! The atmosphere is cute with Christmas lights and a vintage feel. Pro tip: definitely call ahead a book a reservation! Overall- 4/5! read more

This is one of Denver's quintessential steakhouses. They've been open forever and there's a reason. Famous for their sugar steaks which definitely live up to the hype, you're going to experience steak like you never have before. Unlike some places that specialize in steaks, Bastien's also knows how to do their sides and appetizers right. The atmosphere of Bastien's brings back that old school gentleman's supper club feeling with its iconic building and charming interior. Service is always impeccable but not a stop you want to make if you're in a hurry, and you definitely need reservation. Accessibility: This is an old building. Parking is always tough in this area and Bastien's is no exception although it does have a free parking lot. There are double doors to get inside at the bottom of a steep ramp, the outside door is moderately heavy but the inside doors are light. There are three stories without an elevator so make sure to indicate you need the main floor. The women's bathroom itself is spacious and has a grab bar, but the door to get into the bathroom is very narrow. They do have their menu online- but you don't need it you should just order a sugar steak. read more

Liked that there's a parking lot there. It's a very old school vibe which I cool. We had a reservation for 6 and an extra person showed up and they nicely accommodated. The food and service was good. When I ordered, I had the impression that the soup was part of my meal, but I was charged extra for it. read more

Bastien's - Ny steak... - Steakhouses Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A trifecta of an excellent experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Between the service, atmosphere and food; a spectacular dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The best way I can describe this Denver local legend is that it's like being in an episode of Mad Men that takes place in a giant yurt, and I mean that in all the best ways. It's retro, it's cozy, it's 1000% Colfax and they've done a really nice job keeping the nostalgia. Oh right and the food is pretty dang good too. As somebody else mentioned, the steak sandwich is the sleeper deal here if you need to save but want to taste what Bastien's is known for. I got the sugar steak version and it was REAL GOOD, as was the service. Cheers up to this absolute relic! read more

Place is kind of a staple around Denver. They're famous for their sugar steak which I do NOT recommend. Don't be fooled, there's nothing really fun about sugar steak. It's just a steak with a sweet glaze on the crust. It's interesting for two bites and gets old fast. Everything else is OK. read more

I loved the classy but lowkey ambiance. Our waiter was very friendly and funny too. I got the sugar rub burger and it was a delicious, very reasonably priced alternative to the higher end options. The rest of my group got steaks and they all enjoyed them. But the real standout was the twice baked potato! I'll definitely be coming back! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The steaks were perfectly cooked. Ambience is a kick, but the space is noisy. Still, it had a great energy

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

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

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

You visit for the atmosphere and the food, I brought home cake and it was delicious- I went around Christmas so the lights made it festive - Would like to go again on a regular night to eat- Due to the holidays, it was pretty busy and a little loud- Very romantic setting - Will go again - read more
