STK is one of those places where you start the night off at and even though your plans were to come straight home after-- you end up keeping the night going because the vibes here are everything !!
Parking is always a little difficult in downtown-- We had a Sunday Funday and had reservations at 4pm . We did see some street metered parking, but whenever I'm in downtown, I usually just head over to the old Horton plaza mall parking garage to easily park my car and walk to my destinations from there . We paid about $20 for 4 hours .
STK is located right next to the Andaz and actually even has a door connecting the two . The inside of STK is decorated so nicely and the ambiance is definitely classy/sexy . There was no dj the Sunday I was there, but they did play nothing, but the hits all night long--This is what kept me going lol . I was greeted right away when I entered by the GM, Scott who was soo kind and attentive . I was invited to try out their new "night out" menu and it was honestly SOO AMAZING !
Here's what we had--
BOTTLE OF BONANZA-- red wine is always a great idea .
BREAD & BLUE CHEESE BUTTER-- perfect paring with my red wine . Bread was pull-apart-FLUFFY and the blue cheese was not overly salty . SOOO GOOD !
LIL BRGS-- these mini waygu beef sliders were SOO JUICY and flavorful ! I wish it came with double the amount because these were one of my FAVS of the night !
JALAPENO SHRIMP COCKTAIL-- these prawns were MASSIVE, soo plump, and sweet ! I was shook how snappy they were-- JUMBO SHRIMP for the win ! The cocktail sauce was also unique and delicious -- loved the pickled undertone from the jalapeños !
14OZ NY STRIP STEAK-- asked for medium-rare and it was cooked beautifully . One of the servers even came out with a torch to melt the butter on top.. it was fancy lol . We devoured this tender steak in less than 60 seconds -- and the chive butter that it's served with is a YES .
MISO GLAZED CHILEAN SEABASS-- wow . This reminded me of the steamed fish you order from an old school Asian restaurant thats served in a light brown sauce with all the ginger on top.. IKYYK . The fish was light and flakey . The sauce was umami and savory ! Bok choy was fresh and cooked well . I highly recommend this one if you're a seafood lover--
TATER TOTS-- soo fun to eat ! These are not your normal "tots" you get for breakfast . They are double the size and are filled with creamy hashed potatoes that has some type of cheesey element . The outter crust is light, yet so crisp . If tater tots were a poem, these would be it . GET THEM .
ASPARAGUS-- my fav veggie, asides from mushrooms ! These asparagus were basic, yet soo bougie . They were THICC and had a nice char . They paired very well with the steak !
BAG O' DONUTS-- the perfect cinnamon-ey finisher . They even brought us a sparkler to celebrate our date night ! These mini-donuts came out warm and pillowy . The outside had a nice crisp bite . The sauces it came with were good, but I preferred them just on its own !!
Overall, I totally would come back !! We had such a great time and the food was really delicious . I always am a little hesitant when it comes to chain restaurants, but STK SD did not disappoint !! I would love to come back and try some of their other menu items and fancy cocktails . Shout out to our kind servers Matt, Michael, and Margherita-- and there was one more man-- (the man who torched my butter on the steak lol), but I didn't get his name !!
