STK isn't for everyone. It's hip, chic, expensive, and loud.
The food is very, very good. Interesting menu choices, prepared with care. And the service matches the expertise in the kitchen - knowledgeable, attentive, and professional.
I ordered steak with the bleu butter. Yum-my. And my heirloom tomato salad that preceded it was fresh and delicious. Our table of four split two desserts. Each were excellent.
I struggled with the wine list though, in that wines that I normally bypass as "not good enough" cost more per glass than I would normally pay for a bottle. I had a hard time justifying the expense of most of them, eventually settling on a $80 Malbec, which may have been the least expensive of the lot.
The dj and his music selections help keep STK moving. He's responsible for a lot of the ambiance of the place but the loud music did make dinner conversation tough.
If STK isn't in your budget for dinner, consider it for a drink or dessert. It's a neat place, worth experiencing.
