It’s all in the detail at Asador Bastian. Located in the iconic "Flair House" originally built in 1883, Asador Bastian brings inspiration from the great asadors of San Sebastián, Spain to the Gallery District of River North in Chicago. Highly recommend the Tortilla Espanola, the Caviar Churros, the Sole Amandine, and the Black Angus steak. Can't leave without the Golden Hazlenut Chocolate Cake for dessert. 10/10 experience.
Fantastic experience! Everything was delicious. The best steak ever had! The service was superb!

Asador Bastian is an upscale restaurant known for offering an exceptional dining experience. The subtle gold address sign and secretive location create a sense of exclusivity, making the restaurant feel special and intimate. Guests can start their meal with a Spanish Omelet with black truffle shavings or a flawless old fashioned cocktail, both of which are flavorful.
The main attraction is the steak, expertly prepared by the restaurant. Diners select the type and flavor profile of the cow, resulting in a perfectly cooked, well-salted steak that many consider the best they've ever had. The tallow potatoes, described as "almost Lincoln logs," are a popular side dish. The restaurant also offers unique options, including fish and meat choices that stay true to Spanish ingredients, making it a favorite for steak lovers.
The wine list is exclusively Spanish, with a sommelier available to help select the perfect pairing. The ambiance and service are very refined, comparable to a three Michelin star restaurant. Guests appreciate the masterful dishes, beautiful presentation, and the warm, knowledgeable staff that create a memorable culinary journey. While the experience is a splurge, it is considered worth it for special occasions.
