I dined here for the first time last night. I feel that Denver has many good restaurants. This is one of them. For parking, there are a few parking garages within reasonable walking distance to the restaurant. There is also street parking. I love how STK sits directly on a Main Street in downtown Denver.
As you enter the restaurant, STK has a simple yet elegant appearance. It also has a pleasant vibe. This is one of the many reasons I love upscale steakhouses. I also suggest making reservations. I called them on Saturday to confirm their hours being that it was a holiday weekend.
After confirming restaurant hours for Sunday, the gentleman who answered the phone asked if I wanted to make a dinner reservation. Of course I agreed to it. I was transferred to another staff member who made the reservation. I was very pleased with the level of customer service I received.
I was seated at a table next to their front window. It wasn't long before a waitress arrived to take my drink order. She answered questions about different cuts of steak on the menu. For my meal, I ordered the Dry Aged Delmonico with Wagyu Umami butter on top with Au Poivre steak sauce on the side. The server took out a hand held torch and melted the butter on the steak. Phenomenal steak!!! It's probably the best I've had in Denver. The butter and steak sauce were wonderful accompaniments to a delicious cut of steak.
I ordered two sides as well. The Parmesan Crusted Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and Crispy Brussel Sprouts. The Brussel Sprouts have bacon and a cider glaze as well. I'm not a big mashed potatoes person. However, STK's mashed potatoes are phenomenal as well! I would return here for the mashed potatoes alone. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts are delicious, however, I liked the mashed potatoes slightly better.
Also, I recommend asking for their fresh baked bread. I wasn't offered it. However, so glad I asked for it. The bread comes out on a bread board where it's in an iron skillet. It's doused in butter with herbs and it comes with a dipping sauce. Too bad I was so full to finish the bread.
I passed on dessert and coffee. They do offer some delicious dessert options such as Bag O Donuts, Chocolate Cake, Cheesecake, Apple Pie and Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie. I will order dessert the next time I visit. Speaking of, I can't wait to visit here again! This place surprised me!
Excellent service. Staff is friendly and hospitable. My only feedback would be to have a manager stop by tables to see how patrons are enjoying their meal and experience. I always love when restaurants do this. Especially classy ones.
If you have never been to STK Steakhouse in downtown Denver, I highly recommend going! You're in for a treat! If you're town visiting, this would be a nice bookend to your visit. Hope you have a great experience while enjoying delicious quality food!
