Editorial Review for STK – by Kathleen Squires
The Scene
Picture windows along the facade show off the pretty crowd like mannequins at neighboring boutiques. Stark black-and-white accents, from faux elephant tusks flanking the bar to the shiny ebony leather lining the lounge, infuse the space with contrast. A live DJ clinches the clubby mood.
The Food
Meat portions, divided into small, medium and large cuts, are all generous; the humbly named "Little T," for example, offers a quality 10-ounce T-bone. A selection of garden salads--like a mache, crab, melon and avocado mix--will appease those concerned with fitting into designer duds, while lightly curried scallops garnished with peas are a seafood standout. Some mains, like the bland short ribs, don't fare as well, though any dish can be saved by the parmesan-truffle fries--a stack of lightly crisped potato rectangles packing salty-earthy power in each bite. A fruit salad punched up with black pepper provides a refreshing but assertive ending.

I arrived with a party of 9 and had to wait for over an hour (granted I was 10 min late) which I guess would have been fine if the host didn't keep lying and saying "10 minutes"..... Finally I just asked for the cake back which took another 15 minute ( i don't think they were able to find it as we handed it over to the bar waitress since we weren't seated yet). So all in all... A NIGHT WASTED. I WILL NEVER CONSIDER THIS PLACE IF I WAS DYING OF STARVATION-

Loved the food at STK. We were seated promptly even after arriving 10 minutes late. The food was fabulous. We ordered short ribs (melts in your mouth), scallop ceviche (beautiful presentation), Small Skirt Steak (make sure to order sides as it only comes with a small piece of meat, nothing else). The best side dishes are the yukon potatoes and the mac and cheese (really good). For desert Warm Chocolate S'mores and Brioche Bread Pudding. We had no complaints at all plus the waitstaff are very attractive. Plan on going back as soon as possible.
Pros: Food and Hot Waiters
Cons: None.
