About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Good for business meals

Asador Bastian is a Chicago chophouse with Basque influences from acclaimed Chef
Doug Psaltis. Located in the iconic “Flair House” originally built in 1883, this historic
townhouse has been revived and brought back to life with culinary inspiration from the
great asadors of San Sebastián, Spain to serve the world’s best boutique beef without
compromise. The most remarkable dining experience comes from the purest ingredients
delivered in the supremely thoughtful, welcoming and hospitable manner. This ethos
has directed every aspect of the experience at Asador Bastian, whether you’re joining
us for small bites and libations in our Bar Room or for a more intimate experience in our
Dining Room.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: In a historic River North townhouse, you’ll find Asador Bastion, named one of 2023’s best new restaurants by Esquire. Acclaimed wife-and-husband team Hsing Chen and Doug Psaltis lead the kitchen, which turns out Basque-inspired feasts starring impressive steaks cooked over a live-fire grill alongside caviar churros and arroz cremoso. It’s all served in an opulent dining room decked with olive green leather banquettes and vintage Murano glass chandeliers.

The moment you walk in you know it’s going to be special. It was a collaboration with Chez FiFi with a prefix menu that hit all the right notes. Oh their wine list is outstanding as well. Go you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Fun place to experience high quality steak - but overpriced, and not well run.

I thought it was good, but not great. I had very high expectations, and while it's a very good restaurant, I would not go back again.

I really enjoyed my visit here! Evan, our host/server, was very knowledgeable for all the items on the menu, and he made it easier to order the right things. All though you can't go wrong with anything on that menu. You have to appreciate the different kinds of cuts for these steaks and the history behind each one to enjoy this place and understand the price tag that comes with it. Loved it, and I will definitely be coming back!

Not worth the hype or price. The roasted artichokes and Bone Marrow Mashed were the highlights. The tuna carpaccio and crab risotto were nothing memorable and actually a bit bland. The steak was heavy with tough connective tissue, lacked any really flavor, and not worth the price. With all that Chicago has to offer and the price, Asador does not live up to all the hype and is certainly not a value for the very expensive price.

We had a phenomenal dining experience. Evan was a great host and server and his knowledge of the menu was comprehensive. The wine selection excellent, the beef , sides and starters were all top notch. Asador Bastian is 1 of 1 in my book.
