I’ve been a fan of STK for years, so I was glad they opened a location close to me, in Aventura. As their slogan “Not your daddy’s steakhouse,” promises, STK delivers a fresh, modern spin on the classic steakhouse experience…without compromising on quality or flavor.
The new Aventura spot has the same chic lounge-style decor, and lively, upscale vibe, signature to STK. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming- starting with the sweet hostess, to our amazing server Chavonne (a true gem), and the lovely manager, Allison.
We went on a Thursday night, so we got to enjoy their live DJ (they have different DJs Thursday–Sunday) and take advantage of their Steak Night dinner for two, which is such a great deal. For $69 per person (available Sunday through Thursday), you get a bottle of Prosecco or Cabernet, two starters, two entrees, two sides, and a dessert!
To start, we had the Lil BRGs and the Jalapeño Pickled Shrimp Cocktail—both very tasty. For mains, we tried the 6oz filet and the Miso Glazed Chilean Seabass. The steak was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely recommend adding the truffle butter on top for an extra special touch! We also tried the Miso Glazed Chilean Seabass, which was good, but the steak topped it.
The tater tots and mac n cheese were solid sides…big portions too, I even had some leftover to take home (which is rare for me!) Oh, and the bread they start you with is amazing- soft, buttery, melts in your mouth.
For dessert, we went with “The Cloud,” (from the regular menu) which was so fun and unique. It’s a warm butter cake wrapped in a giant puff of cotton candy that they light on fire at the table, revealing cake, ice cream, and berry compote underneath. Presentation and flavor both A+.
As for cocktails, my favorites were the “Unchained Passion” and their award-winning Spiced Watermelon.
I recommend STK Aventura for any occasion date night, girls night, happy hour, business dinner, etc
