I had a wonderful experience dining as Asador Bastian. I've been dying to check this place out since it received "World's Best Steakhouse" honors. But reservations are difficult to snag, so I showed up when they open the doors (4pm) and was seated at the bar promptly. Surprisingly, there were a couple people waiting outside prior to 4, and by 445 the entire bar was packed! The food was excellent. I went with the tuna carpaccio for an appetizer and the dry aged steak for my main. I washed it all down with their scotch old fashioned and saved no room for dessert. The price is about what you'd expect - expensive. But the food, ambiance and service were top notch. And speaking of the service, I came away very impressed with the bar staff. Super knowledgeable; the server told me I really need to come back with a larger group so I can try more of their steak options. I highly recommend this spot

All around fun experience of wonderful service, superb food, great atmosphere. We had the corn-lobster-fois gras pintxos. Tiny and good. Beef tallow potatoes were amazing, and the highlight is the protein - sweet brown butter cigalas (langoustines) and of course, the steak. Perfect cook, perfect seasoning. The hazelnut chocolate cake was intense and amazing, but alas, next to it, the burnt basque cheesecake paled a little.

Their Galician Steak was excellent. I can imagine the wagyu Japanese options would be phenomenal as well but I came for their Spanish breed and it did not disappoint. The tartare tasted great, but was served a bit too cold for my liking. A bit closer to room temp and it would have been phenomenal. Funny enough the their grilled country bread was a standout. Wine selection by the glass was good but limited. Wine was also served a bit too cold for my liking. Ate at the bar, bartender was great. Service was good overall.
