| - STK is on par with everything the Cosmo does - trendy and over-the-top, prices included.
We arrived as a group of 8 for business on a Wed night, at one of the earlier seatings. Restaurant was pretty empty, but we had to wait at the bar for the full group to arrive before they'd seat us. If the rating was based on the hotness of the hostess, this place would be a 5 and then some; alas, it's for food and service. We were promptly seating by our svelte and sauntering hostess in one of the back booths, loud 90s dance music blaring in the background.
Our server was nice enough, helping with the menu where it was needed. She offered us the daily specials, which I couldn't remember any of. Put our orders in and brought out the wine, as well as the bread. Didn't recall the name or type but the buttery goodness I do remember distinctly. Very yummy.
My peppercorn encrusted filet medallion, medium rare, came out perfectly seared with the right amount of pink hues. Very tender and flavorful. We got sides to share - creamed sweet corn, potatoes purée, asparagus, spinach, and potato al gratin. Nothing really stood out as unique or overly amazing, but there was good flavors throughout the meal.
I didn't get a look at the final bill, but I assume it was easily 150 a person, which put it around 1200 or so; kind of outrageous considering the food was average. Not sure I'd revisit with all of the other great steak places in town. 1.5 for the awesome server and bus service, and .5 for the overpriced food, and 1 star for the hostess... :P
