"After three years since first announcing its San Diego expansion, STK has finally opened a luxe, lounge-y steakhouse in the Gaslamp’s Andaz Hotel. The 8,636-square-foot space at the corner of F Street and Sixth Avenue seats 220 across a bar and main dining area, mezzanine lounge, courtyard, two private rooms, and will debut a wrap-around patio; it's built around a party atmosphere with DJs spinning Tuesday through Saturday. The uber-customizable menu features 10 cuts of steak (the most popular is the 14-ounce, 45-day dry aged Delmonico), 11 toppings ranging from king crab to bone marrow, and eight sauces and crusts including chimichurri and béarnaise, alongside other entrees such as a daily market fish, seafood platters, salads, and steakhouse starters. Local chef David Burke, who spent 12 years with Fleming’s Steakhouse and also cooked at Pacifica Del Mar, is overseeing the kitchen, and the opening extends The ONE Group’s STK brand, which now has nearly 20 locations worldwide including Las Vegas, London, and LA, with new branches coming to Mexico City and San Juan, Puerto Rico." - Candice Woo
