    It has been a very long time since my friends and I have returned to this venue and a lot has changed. I mean pretty much everything. At first we all gave each other a look that this wasn't what we wanted and were disappointed. We were the first to show up in the whole place and it was a lot of seating and no dance floor. Not long after more groups started showing up which was reassuring. The music was OUTSTANDING. It made us comfortable when we weren't sure if we wanted to stay and then gave us energy the rest of the time we were there. The food came and everyone loved their meals, I was not crazy about mine ( avocado toast ) because the bread was way too hard, but the BEC and the burger were apparently stand outs. My party moved into the walkway along with everyone else's groups and danced in the area. Overall had an amazing time would recommend. My only critique is to move some tables in the back next to the DJ booth and make a dance floor there.

    I’ve been to this spot at its old location a few times including for my birthday and had a wonderful time. But celebrating my birthday yesterday was different and I don’t think I would return.

    We celebrated our friends 50th birthday and we’re so glad we chose Il Bastardo. The food was AMAZING. The ribeye was a perfectly cooked medium rare. Service was great and they staff really made the birthday girl feel special with Sparklers on our champagne and a birthday sign. The vibe and the DJ were amazing. I definitely recommend this place for a special occasion celebration or just a group of friends who are looking for good food, service and of course your own bottle of Champs!

    Had a super nice time for my sister's birthday, never been to a champagne brunch before and I have to say we really enjoyed our experience. The music was amazing, the food was good and the energy in that place was definitely a vibe for a Sunday at that!

    Me & my girls came out for brunch and the place was lit. From the big bottle of personal mimosas, the steak and eggs cooked and seasoned very well and DJ Sammi playing all the latest. I would definitely recommend this place for birthday celebration too. 10/10 great service all around

    It was the too damn hot and they need to figure out a way to add appetizers to their menu plus some other drink options maybe like maybe another bottle free shots

    Great experience if you come with the right expectations. It’s a full on club with brunch. We got the $75 prix fixe option on a Sunday and it came with full size Chandon bottles which is not a bad deal. The food is surprisingly good if you order the basics like the avocado toast or the burger. Expect automatic gratuity so it’s really $100. Plus $10 for mandatory coat check. Staff was nice and friendly unlike at many clubs which was refreshing. Music is fun for a club.

    Very loud, food is expensive with hidden fees. If ignore price and food and want to have a good time with friends for brunch not a bad option
