| - Brace yourselves again for yet another long review, we ordered a lot.
I was confused when told STK was a nightclub with food. We arrived around 7 to a restaurant lounge vibe and left around 10 to loud club music and dancing around us. This place definitely changes atmosphere so pending your intention of the meal, don't expect good conversation later in the evening... it gets loud. Our server was very personable and lovely, over all wonderful experience. Perfect place to dine before heading out to dance, high energy.
PEAR & ENDIVE SALAD - 14
I'm pretty sure I got punched with a block of blue cheese, which for me was mortifying. If you're a blue cheese fan, you'll die and go to heaven with this salad... otherwise you'll just die.
***** TUNA TARTARE - 19
My friend (and chef) was right in highly recommending this (as do I for you). A wake up call to my mediocre tuna tartare experiences. The grade of the tuna was sushi status. I can't explain how smooth, silky and fresh each bit was.
FOIE GRAS FRENCH TOAST - 24
This combo had me tilting my head but surprisingly enough, it worked. The green apple, almond brioche and sherry gastrique were a tasteful medley.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH ANGOLOTTI - 15
Great little pillows of comfort food like happiness.
COWBOY RIB STEAK 34 oz - 85
PORTERHOUSE 24 oz - 65
True to our medium rare request -- savory and seasoned minimally as a great steak should be. Fantastic.
SAUCES - We chose Chimichurri & Au Poivre. The Chimichurri was my favorite but both went well with the steak. Great in complimenting but not covering its natural taste.
MARKET FISH - Market Price
A trio of seafood is served with this dish - the two fish were cooked traditionally and well. But the scallop. Oh the scallop. That heavenly luscious sweet thing of a scallop. Served on a little bed of peas and bacon pieces, seared perfectly. I was made fun of for chasing a pea around for what seemed to be 5-minutes, my laughing with everyone didn't help as my fork was vibrating with giggles (stubbornness kicked in as well on getting the damn thing) .. but if you manage to cut a piece of scallop, snag a bacon and spear a pea on the same fork ... it's a magnificent thing to behold.
***** COLORADO LAMB CHOPS - 39
Don't mind me while I sway to the now turned up club music with my lamb chop in hand. I mentally restrained myself from literally picking up the bone to attack the last few nibbles. Thank God the server took the plate away, I was growing weaker to temptation with every sip of my manhattan. Possibly my favorite lamb experience, which is huge as if I had to choose one meat for the rest of my life, it'd be lamb. Ordered and served at medium rare. Their pomegranate vinaigrette was subtle yet so perfect in bringing out hidden flavors seamlessly yet distinguishably.
::: SIDES :::
BREAD
Everyone gets this. It's smothered in cheese and to be dipped in a green sauce. Messy to eat but very good! It reminded me of an oversized muffin. A couple of us (as we had 2 loaves brought out) did get hit with the stinky sock bite due to concentrated cheese.. so be careful of the piece you grab.
SWEET CORN PUDDING
I grew up loving cream of corn. This reminded me of it but way, way better. For such a simple dish, I loved it.
CREAMED SPINACH
Almost a tad bit too creamed for me but the flavor was good.
CREAMY YUKON POTATOES
Really great side dish to cut the meats and intense flavors.
:::ALCOHOLISM:::
MANHATTAN
When you think of this drink you think of an old guy. Let's ramp it up and drop this old guy in the middle of Manhattan rush hour with this cocktail in hand trying to cross the street at a green light, no spilling. Yeah -- it's that strong and intense. And the cherry at the bottom, pretty sure it soaks up 25% of the liquor so be weary of the face you make while consuming. With that said... definitely my kind of drink.
WINE
We ordered a bottle of a full bodied dry cab which blew my mind. Paired with the meats it really pulled everything together. We also ordered a delicious bottle of pinot gris for paring with the seafood. Solid wine list. You'll be happy if you're a wino here.
