| - STK is how I imagine it was like dining in a fancy restaurant in the 80s. Its decor has a subtle "Miami Vice" look and feel. Oh, but forget that and focus in on the food. Much of the menu items might sound familiar, but STK interprets these dishes their own way.
A friend and I dined here for an early dinner. We were seated by the hostess at a tiny table, which was closely situated next to other tiny tables. It was impractical and not intimate to say the least, but we dealt with it.
Appetizer - Bread: Compliments of the restaurant, we received pull-apart bread slathered with blue cheese butter, served in a small cast iron plate.
Appetizer - Seared Foie gras: This was like eating breakfast for dinner. The foie gras was accompanied by three miniature pancakes and marmalade. Delightful.
Entree - Seared Big Eye Ahi: This was heavily seasoned with a Japanese spice that proved to be too hot for my gut to handle. Our server gladly had my dish remade without seasoning, and served with the wasabi mashed potatoes and miso sauce on the side. Overall, my meal was exceptional, and I especially liked the wasabi mash.
Dessert - Chocolate Chip Cookie with Ice Cream- This was one hot cookie topped with vanilla ice cream that can be shared by two people. The cookie was baked and presented in another mini cast iron pan. It was a delicious way to top off dinner.
STK has become one of my favorite restaurants at The Cosmopolitan. I do recommend coming here to experience dinner. The downside, as I've mentioned, is the seating. Reservations are encouraged.
