| - We had a reservation, and upon arrival we were escorted to the bar to wait. Before we had the chance to order a drink however, our server came and seated us. There were not many people in the restaurant since it was early, so we had plenty of attention.
We started with a couple of their beautiful cocktails. I don't remember the name of mine, but it had basil and jalapeno in a vodka martini styled drink....amazing. Hubby had one that infused cucumber and mint in a vodka martini style....his was good too.
We started with salads - I had the burrata with tomatoes, and my husband got the wedge. They were both very good, but I tried not to eat all mine so I would not fill up too fast. We then each ordered filets - 6 oz. for me 10 oz. for him - and with a recommendation from our server, mine included blue butter and his included truffle butter. Both were indulgent add ons, but boy were they good. The steaks were so tender you could almost cut them with a fork, and they were prepared perfectly medium as requested. We also had the jalapeno grits and grilled asparagus as sides. Now, we are southerners, and I make a mean bowl of cheese grits, so maybe that's why we were so disappointed in the jalapeno grits....they just didn't have much taste. I have to say though, it was the only thing we were disappointed in all night. The grilled asparagus was perfect too.
When our server offered dessert, we were hesitant because we were pretty full. But we had heard so much about their desserts - particularly the donuts - that we were not sure we could pass it up. So, at the urging of the server, we ordered the donuts and a coffee for me and an aperitif for hubby. O - M - G!!!! Those donuts were like heaven on a plate. Warm and light and flavorful....it was sinful!! I think I dreamed about them later....haha!
Overall, our service was outstanding....maybe because there were not many people there when we arrived, but it was filling up fast. The food could not be beat. It was not inexpensive, but we felt like it was completely worth the splurge. With so many restaurants in Vegas, it's hard to commit to going to the same place again, but you can bet we will visit STK again when we're in Vegas next time.
