Jordan was fantastic!

Loved the food and the resturant, BUT the music was way to loud! Had to yell at each other to have a conversation. Price was expensive and it kind of ruined our dinner.

The music from the speakers was so loud that it made conversations challenging among our party of five. Otherwise, the service and food was great!

Been here before and it was great, not so much this time. My tuna tartare was chewy like it wasn’t cut properly, and there were shell pieces in our oysters. Dropped about $300 on dinner for two and definitely don’t think it was worth it. Service people were very nice and friendly though.

Friendly wait staff, quiet restaurant that evening. Food was good but not at all the “great” expected for a $200 (for 2 persons) tab. Salmon slightly over cooked. Steak had minimal flavor. Generous serving on the sides. Dessert was good but surprisingly under-impressive.

The service was ok, waiter was initially friendly but then became cold when it was clear he wasn’t getting a “big” order - whatever that means. Food was good.

Anniversary

Food and the DJ were great but was short staffed. Service was best effort which resulted in longer waits and a bit of disorganization.

My partner and I wanted to go somewhere nice for our anniversary. Upon arrival, it seemed very busy. We checked in for our reservation but had to wait another 20 minutes before being seated. The inside looked nice, but they sat us outside in the corner with no heater and a loud speaker in our ear. We got moved to another outdoor table, but we still had to deal with the downtown ambiance. (Which at times can be entertaining, but not when you’re trying to go somewhere fancy for a date)

That leads me to the value. The food was good, even after 1 hour and 20 minutes of waiting after we got seated. I want to emphasize the word good though. It wasn’t great. I had a $111 steak and it wasn’t spectacular. I have honestly had a better $50 steak before. They also were out of the brunello I love which was unfortunate.

Overall, I think there is potential but the value isn’t there. My total bill was $400, but I feel like I would’ve had a better experience at an outback…

Came here to celebrate my fiancé birthday was asked multiple times and unfortunately never even got a happy birthday to him, this was very disappointing as it was mentioned during reservation process at the door when we were sat and by the waiter Josh. Food was good but waited about 10 min to get additional plates as we were sharing multiple items we ordered. I would come back for dinner but not to celebrate a special day.

The food is excellent- the fillet mignon done to perfection and the truffle butter added to the flavor. Calamari batter was light and crispy with a slight spice. Delicious! Omar our server was alert and helpful.
Overall, I found it over priced. It was loud as there was a DJ who responded to our request to lower the music. Glad to have tried STK but would recommend with reservation.

STK has an experience that is for young couples! We celebrated our 6 year anniversary here and boy was it a good choice! Touting a mix of club environment with the service of a magnificent date night dinner. The drinks were well made, the ambiance allowed us to talk but still gave the place a good club like feel. The food was something else though, and was clearly the quality of must try steakhouse here in San Diego! Melts in your mouth and begs for more. We will be back and believe us when we say this place is special.

Fantastic service, food & ambiance. Our waiter, Steve, definitely added to the fabulous experience. Everything he recommended for us from drinks to dessert was exceptional. Just FYI: Almost a $500 tab for the 3 of us including 3 drinks, 1 appetizer, 3 entrees (6 oz filet, new york steak & pasta), 2 sides & gratuity.

Our waitress was absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing too. The only thing I was not a fan of was the truffle fries. If they were a even slightly crispy they would have been amazing. Otherwise it just tasted like a piece of a baked potato with truffle oil.

Nevertheless, I’d be more than happy to come again, I just will not get the fries again.

Great spot

Great service but steak came out at room temperature and the butter on the steak was cold

Terrible service with bad drinks, wine showing up after dinner, and nothing but a simple apology and 2 drink tickets. For $300 I expect much more.

7:15 reservation didn’t get seated till 8 and was seated at a table that was free since the minute I walked in but for whatever reason it took 45 minutes to decide they can seat us there. The food was okay honestly over hyped the seafood sampler not worth it more ice than anything else the steaks were good Ruth Chris or Javier’s serves a better steak the crowd noise is ridiculous I felt like I was screaming at my wife the whole time so we can hear eachother. The service was great. Will I come back most likely not do I recommend it…go try it u might like it I wasn’t to crazy about it.

Great service and ambiance! Thank you to the host and server who accommodated our party that decreased it’s number of attendees at the last minute. Happy hour drinks, food and prices were good! Will be back to try dinner sometime.

One of the best dinners I’ve had. From the exceptional service to our amazing meal. My steak melted in my mouth. The wagyu umami butter seared table side, lobster tail and loaded yukon mash is 🔥. Thank you so much Alejandro, Katie, Raphael and the managers Matt and Jason for this unforgettable dining experience. Cheers!

This place was awesome, great for date night. Great atmosphere, great music and our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious

Service & food was off the charts AMAZING! We had a great time, just wish the music wasn't so loud.

Husband’s bday

We were visiting for the weekend to attend a festival. We had heard of STK previously, but hadn't been able to coordinate a visit. This time it was a success by all accounts.
Omar took fabulous care of us with spot on food and drink recommendations. The food was cooked to perfection. The wait staff were attentive and discreet. Thank you for a lovely brunch!

If I have a reservation at 10pm I shouldnt have to wait until 11 to be seated!!!!!!!!!

It was a great experience

Excellent all around. GREAT food, GREAT service, nice vibe (not a quiet place). Nothing is wrong with this Steakhouse. Just GO!

Jordyn was great, she should be a sales person!!! Sold us on a tomahawk steak tonight. Thank you for everything today! The steak was great + drinks were perfect. Best choice for my birthday

We got there about 10 minutes early for a 645 reservation, didn’t mind waiting, but once we got a table, we’re taking upstairs, to a dark corner where we were adjacent to the employees changing area or break room, zero ambience…. Food was lights out and great!

Everything on the menu was a bit more expensive compared to other steakhouses. Also the dining area is loud.

exquisite steaks and nicely prepared sides. Love the taters with the truffle sauce. very nice wine list. Somm helped us pick a great bottle. Will be back

Had a family gathering for breakfast of 12 service and food were both excellent!

My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday this past weekend. Everything went smooth until hell broke loose. Apparently there was a man that drank way too much and disturbed the entire restaurant, including our dinner. We were seated outside right next to the entrance. This guy was yelling and fighting with the staff because they were trying to cut him off drinks. He was so belligerent staff had to tackle him to the ground which happened to be right in front of our table. If it wasn’t for a couple warning us to move, we could have gotten severely injured. After the altercation we had to move tables to the back corner. As a higher end restaurant, you’d think the manager would apologize for the inconvenience, but never did. Due to moving tables our waiter took forever to bring us drinks and accommodate us overall. Overall the food was great, but the restaurant should have handled this altercation a lot better.

Earlier in the year I came with some girlfriends fairly intoxicated and I remember the food being the best food I’ve ever had. Came back with my husband for our wedding anniversary and felt that the food was “good” for the price but nothing knocked my socks off. We got calamari, surf and Turf (filet and lobster), the mash potato side, and the mule drink. However, the service and the atmosphere was amazing.

The food, service, and modern atmosphere at STK were phenomenal! Loved it!

We had reservations but had to wait 40 mins past our reserved time before we were seated which was not ideal. From what we could hear around us, other guests were also waiting well beyond their reservation time as well. Calamari was good, long wait between appetizers & main course and the waiter finally asked “Do you guys want some bread or something?” This was our first time at STK so we weren’t sure what to expect but it didn’t really give the best impression- the server seems to be occupied elsewhere so when the meal was done he finally was able to “bring the card machine” after telling us 3 separate times “I’ll be right back with the card machine.” Food was great - loved the mashed potatoes. Service was not so great.

First of all I’ll say it was a Friday night so I expected it to be busy. There were certain people that were amazing while others less desirable. Luis (I think) behind the bar doin table drinks was slammed but he still gave us attention & excellent drinks. Total MVP. Mgr Matthew was also super nice. There was a lot of chaos but certain people were fantastic. Like the guy who gave us bread & water, excellent. So I’m torn… like they’re excellent but there were issues. Next time I’m goin on a week day.

Had dinner there lastnight, food, service and vibe were all on point! Shout out to our server Jordyn who provided us fabulous service. We will def be back! Thank you!

A dime a dozen steakhouse franchise in the gaslamp. Food is mediocre dressed up as fine dining. The atmosphere is a cheap nightclub. Wait staff is overworked and obviously could care less about where they work. Hefty price tag for that experience. Steak wasn't even impressive.

We came here to take advantage of the great happy hour deals. Our server (Cass?) was wonderful - so friendly and helpful - and made our entire experience enjoyable. The cocktails were delicious, food was great - we enjoyed the lil' burgers and fries, crispy calamari, short rib croquetttes, popcorn chicken, hummus and vegetables, and then shared a wedge salad from the regular menu. Will definitely be back!
