Bastien's Restaurant

This place is always such a treat.

My boyfriend and I went here the other night as a special outing.  We weren't disappointed!  The sugar steak was huge and juicy.  My porterhouse pork chop was divine.  I love a joint that offers you variations of potatoes to accompany your meal (I mean, it's obvious you'll go for the twice baked potato but it is nice to have options).  Our fancy drinks were delicious and hit the spot.  I love the retro feel of the restaurant and the music--there was live music the last time I visited and that made it extra special.  The service did not stand out at all but all of our orders arrived in a timely manner so there's no real room for complaints there.

This place is a Denver classic, plain and simple. I adore it!

Great food, in an old-school, very intimate atmosphere in the dining room. I grew up in Michigan and I feel like I'm back home every time I walk in and strike up a conversation with one of the servers.

If you're looking for a premium, sophisticated steak experience, go somewhere else. But if you want a family-run place with great food and that treats you like family, come to Bastien's.

One other big plus is that even last-minute on a Friday or Saturday you can go to Bastien's, find parking and get seated pretty much immediately.

Eight of us ate here last week.  It was busy but were able to get a table in a few minutes.  Food was a definite 4 stars.  Prices were reasonable, very reasonable with a living social.  Loved the atmosphere and Frank Sinatra music.  will be going back after restaurant weeks are over.  

A gem on Colfax!
