Bastien's Restaurant

Our reservation was for 8 we did arrive early and we were able to sit at the bar until our table was ready. The bar was a little busy at the time we arrived so we didn’t get asked if we wanted anything to drink for about 10 minutes. When we finally did get seated a little after 8, we followed the owner to our table. He was not too chatty with us. It was our first time there and we wanted a little more history on the place. Our waitress came and took our order we had time to look at the menu while we waited at the bar. I had the T-bone steak with the sugar spice, with twice baked potato and a house salad. My husband had the 16oz Ribeye with sugar spice, baked potato and vegetable soap, and Firecracker shrimp. We had our bread which was good. Then we noticed the table next to ours had their salads already and we were sat before them. I was worried that all the food would come out together. We got the waitress attention and she immediately brought out the salad and soup. Then the food came right after that. The steaks were delicious with the sugar spice, but they can only cook the meat to medium well and that was too pink for my liking. They can only cook certain steaks to medium well with their caramelized sugar spice or it will over cook the steaks. It was a nice experience to try. The twice baked potato was nothing, but a potato baked twice with sour cream, cheese, bacon, and onions on top. We had to ask the waitress for refills on our drinks. Overall it was a fairly good night. The lighting was set a little darker so when I would try to take pictures for the review my flash would go off which I don’t like because I feel I am disturbing other around me. I would go back and pray I get a better experience. It is a pricy experience.

I just wanted to write this review because I’ve been here about 3 times and I always have a great time and excellent steak. We were celebrating a friends engagement the time ran away from us but the level of care and patience was wonderful. Highly recommend if you are looking for excellent long running steakhouse. I would recommend the wagyu, the t-bone and the sugar rub. All around will definitely be back.

We decided to come here just to try it out. The atmosphere is wonderful. The bread and butter at the beginning of the meal was great. My daughter said the pomegranate margarita was perfect. She had a sugar steak and I had the chicken fried steak with jalapeño gravy. Both were huge servings. We each took home a to go box. Dessert looked great but we were definitely not hungry.

Loved it! I had the New York Strip Sugar Steak with the baked potato and the house salad. The house salad was on the smaller side, but was very good. The potato, was a potato. Nothing special, nothing wrong with it either. The steak was cooked to perfection. A perfect rare all the way through. I had to try their signature sugar steak, which was great. I expected some sweetness, but it was even sweeter than I expected. I am glad I tried it, but I will be trying their other toppings next time. The little rolls with butter before dinner was probably the low point. Again, not terrible, but they are sort of hard and the herb butter is not that great. This is splitting hairs though. I will definitely be back. This is a high quality restaurant. The staff were great and it was a great experience.
