    We went for the proximity to the symphony. so glad we did. We had a great time. The live music was great. Violetta cocktail was perfection. Great food, (gnocchi, branzino, potatoes, and parmigiana di mamma) and portions were larger than expected. Had gelato for desert. Ended the meal with limoncello on the house. We’ll definitely be back. Our server Adam was great. 10/10

    Had dinner at STK recently and was genuinely impressed. The food was fantastic — my steak was cooked exactly how I like it: perfectly seared on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Every side we ordered was delicious, especially the mac and cheese and truffle fries (highly recommend). Our server, Evette, made the experience even better. She was incredibly kind, attentive without being overbearing, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire night. You could tell she genuinely cared about the guest experience. The atmosphere was lively but still felt upscale, and overall, it was a great night out. Would definitely come back.

    Patio was nice, easy in/out. Service was a little slow but didn't feel rushed. Food was ok - surprised they didn't offer dessert at lunch. Would go back just for the patio and try something different that the steak frites. Cobb salad was decent and fries were great.
