    I can’t say enough good things about my experience at STK Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was perfect. The attention to detail, from the warm welcome to the attentive table service, made me feel truly cared for. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. If you’re looking for an upscale dining experience with top-tier service, STK is the place to be. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

    Amazing food seating limited and loud restaurant; however, that can also shown to look to the quality of service and the deliciousness of the food served. Overall customer service was amazing and food was amazing. Not a big restaurant though.

    Excellent Food / service & ambience superb If u want a memorable evening with good food this is it. We were a party of 3 came for a early dinner at 5pm . It was fairly busy for Christmas Day dinner. Filled up more in the evening. We started our dinner with Prosecco wine followed with the salad & tomato soup Main orders we ordered 2 risotto very delicious, highly recommend it if you are or even not a vegetarian . And we had the Chicken, very delicious, sauce was great. Zino restaurant is in the 1910 hotel Shattuck it beckons charm & simple lines of beauty of past era but very modern variation. We had a great corner window seat & could admire the whole dinning room & view outside . I would come back to Zino. Whether it is for special occasions like Christmas dinner or even just regular dining . I would highly recommend it. Price was reasonable for the quality of food , the ambience was lovely & service very attentive. Thank you Zino Chef , kitchen crew& service staff for a excellent memorable Christmas dinner . Worth the price. Merry Christmas 2024 & A Happy Prosperous New year 2025 . Best wishes M
