    I celebrated a birthday dinner with my 14 year old daughter. We had a great meal. Deviled eggs, filet mingon, duck confit, and of course crème brûlée and le citron. Oh and some beautiful mocktails. Wonderful service and wonderful ambience. A tad overpriced but still really enjoyed. Will be back!

    I had such a great experience at STK! Everything from the ambiance to the food was on point. The lighting is dim and romantic, which makes it perfect for date night or a classy dinner with friends. It’s definitely giving upscale, intimate vibes with beautiful photo and video opportunities everywhere you look. We went all in with four courses, and every single dish was flavorful and well-seasoned . The drinks were not only delicious but also super pretty! The complimentary bread was okay — not the star of the show — but honestly, everything else more than made up for it. And shoutout to the staff, the service was excellent. Our servers were friendly, helpful, and so accommodating the entire time. Overall, it was an amazing night. STK really brings the full experience, great food, beautiful atmosphere, and even better service. Can’t wait to go back!
