Il Bastardo
“Il Bastardo's bottomless mimosa brunch was a total highlight of my trip and had me flying for the rest of the day.”
“I would avoid if you are looking for a more intimate one on one setting only because of the party atmosphere (loud music and dancing).”
“Came here for Sunday brunch, and it really made me feel like the good old days where I was able to handle going to a Vegas daytime pool party.”

This place is AWFUL. I went for Sunday brunch. The $45 pre fixed menu has such bad options. The food in general was really really bad. They make it seem like it's worth it by offering a litre of mimosa/screwdriver/bloodymary or a bottle of champagne. I don't drink either of these but almost everyone in my party complained about how cheap the vodka was and how watered down everything else tastes like.
Apparently last year there was dancing and costumes but there was absolutely NONE of this. I would stay away from this place there are so many better brunch places to go to!! Don't do it!
Okay so IL Bastardo was literally A-OK. I came here for my friend's 24th birthday brunch around late November.
For the price of $50, we got an entree and either a bottle of champagne or a mason jar mimosa (your choice). The great part of this option is that if you're not trying to get drunk, but just a buzz, then this is perfect! You can buy shitty $5 shots when the shot girls are floating around, and yes I did buy one but only for the birthday girl. But I could get 'just a buzz' for a much cheaper price. I get it though, it's brunch – the one time we will all overpay for possibly shitty food and ridic expensive drinks unless it's a bottomless brunch deal which obviously IL Bastardo was not. I did see reviews that people got an AYCD brunch here for $45, but we definitely did not have that so I'm not sure how this place is now. The restaurant is literally SO small, especially the dining areas. I give props to the waiters though. We had a large group with us, and instead of having to sit at two separate tables, they let us combine the tables (which is a huge brownie point from me).
After our brunch was over, we got shimmied out and we made it to the bar area where there were other brunchers enjoying their meal. There was literally no space in between the bar and other people's' tables, and I actually felt bad for them that I was all up in their area. But like I said, there was literally no standing space! That room was also so dimly lit, I felt like I was inside of a Hollister, probably even worse. They played great music, and I had a great time. We'll see about the coming back part.
5 star music. 2 star food. 4 star vibe. 1 star service. So we were here Saturday for brunch and I swear I think our waitress was drunk!! The food definitely isn't all that but I already knew that from my fellow yelpies! The music was amazinggg!!! Love the black chandeliers and it's awesome that they give you a bottle of mimosa or champagne with your entree!! We were all def feeling nice the dance area is super small but we had a good time 🙂
I had an awesome time here! I dont think I would come here for the food alone, but for the experience for sure. I was warned that the food wasnt going to be too good but I had an open mind. I got the waffles along with the complimentary jug of mimosa. My waffles were pretty dry and crumbled into a million pieces before I could even eat it. But to explain, this place is like a club in the middle of the day. Music is bumping and its dark and people are drunk and dancing like crazy. This place is a bit expensive too, but you pay for the experience. Its $45 a person for the meal and drink. You either can get a mimosa or a bottle of champagne with your order. I felt really bad for the waiters, at the table next to me the waiter was so overwhelmed he actually dropped an entire tray of plates and drinks all over these girls and everything. I had a fun time though, after we were done eating we went into the larger main room and we were all dancing and it was pretty fun!! I would come back here because of how fun it was, but overall not for the food.
First thought in here "WHERE AM I"
We came for Sunday brunch, about 25 of us. I really thought I was going to hate it. You feel like you're in a club. Very dark, very loud, very crowded. You definitely want to be seated in the back room, that's where the fun is.
Brunch is advertised as $45 a person but we ended up spending $60 each. It comes with a bottle of champagne or a liter of a brunch cocktail and an entree. Get the champagne. It's cheap alcohol but you're paying for the atmosphere not really the food/drink.
The food and service was not good but that's OK (can't believe I'm saying this). They are able to accommodate many large parties at once. Food takes a very long time to come out but you end up not caring because everyone gets up and starts dancing since like I mentioned before, you are at a club (in the daytime). Also, because it is so dark in there you can barely see what you're eating. I remember the truffle fries being good.
Only come here if you want to have a very excessive, drunken time. NOT if you're boring. It's a very specific scene and if you're not into it then you will not have a good time. Also, this isn't really the place for small groups. *turn down for what*
T'was invited to a birthday celebration and was told it was a "Turn-up Brunch"… I was intrigued. Easy enough to arrive from Grand Central and you get ID'ed at the door. The environment is just like a club, only during the daytime. We were a group of 14-ish and they tried to seat us in the back but it was too crowded and hot. A host moved us to a long high-top table in the front next to the entrance. They offer a $45 brunch with 2 hours unlimited mimosa/bloody mary/screwdriver OR a bottle of champagne. We immediately ordered a round of champagnes and soon enough, we each had our own personal bottle. Wish they had straws for the bottles!!
The food was were this whole place goes off track. The food is scanty, unappealing and will barely fill you up if you're actually hungry. This place definitely needs more substantial meals for customers who are literally drinking bottles of alcohol. Oh and I had a crusty fork………. No thanks.
Fun place, just don't expect much from the food. If you do come here and get a bottle- you won't remember the rest of the day, trust me.
I wish I can give -0 to this bastardo place. El bastardo, the name it self sounds like an insult! And the name is perfectly made for this horrible place. They ripped us off, BASTARDo!!!
The food was awful, drinks were awful, service was awful And for this bunch of awfulness you pay $40pp. Basically you pay to just party. day club.
Music was loud, loud, louuud. And too many drunk people!
The most frustrating part is even if you dont drink alcohol they still charge you $40.
This is the kind of place that you don't want to be even the slightest bit sober for or you might realize how bad it actually sucks! If you are blacked out drunk and with a good group of friends you might have a good time.
Overall: the food is horrible, the service is horrible, the music sucks, and you are crammed back to back with 1000 other people fighting for space.
The only thing this place is good for is to get blacked out drunk on shitty champagne mid day, if you are into that kind of thing.
