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.

Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had a lovely experience. The food was delicious, service was great, and the live DJ’s music choices were on point. I’d recommend this place and the will be returning soon hopefully. I had the shrimp & grits and a elderflower lemon drop.
