    Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday last night. Our server Juan enhance our dining experience with his exemplary level of service and knowledge of Spanish cuisine. He guided us through the entire dining process from picking out the best steak for our tastes we anre heavy into dry aged steak. He suggested a steak that was a special for the evening and the sides to complement. I’m giving Asador Bastian 4 stars because I wish the portion of the steak tartare was larger. That was a disappointment. Otherwise, the service, ambiance, quality of cuisine was outstanding. Please request Juan to be your server.

    We made reservations at Chicago Chop House as part of our annual holiday trip downtown and it did not disappoint. We were seated on the 2nd floor right in front of the window and enjoyed the view of the Christmas tree on the rooftop along with the Christmas music from the piano player on the 1st floor. The appetizer (Wagu meatballs). steaks and mashed potatoes were delicious. The Creme Brulee was fabulous! Overall we thought the cost was in alignment with most steakhouses but the ambience and the staff (Gabe, our waiter) made it a wonderful holiday experience. If you do decide to dine at Chicago Chop House take the time to read about its history.
