STK Midtown

I went here last night and I had a reservation. I was sat down in 10 minutes. The place was really nice. Their layout was cool but I didn’t like the music they had. It felt like a club with how loud it was and it was like club music with like oldies too, which I like but it was really loud and I don’t know if it fit for the place. I thought that a place like that would have like top 40 at a moderate volume. I had to raise my voice to speak to my gf or the waitress. The waitress was nice; she recommended the tuna tartare app and it was okay. For main course my gf had the 6oz filet medallion and I had the medium 14oz bone in filet with a side of mash. The steaks were good and the mash was really good and creamy. I drank the acacia Pinot noir and she drank the strawberry cobbler. Overall nice spot but nothing that stands out.

Definitely one of the best steakhouses in Midtown. Service is excellent and attentive while food is delicious with sizable portions.

I only come here from the amazing bar tender Tim. He is super accommodating, and has an amazing bedside manner. Monica manager is extremely welcoming and warm as well.

Right in the back of the iconic white-​curved building, the Grace Building, lies the infamous STK. I have been here three times and it has taken me those three times to finally write a review. Two of times were during lunch and one other time during dinner.
My first experience was not as amazing as my rating, but I grew to accept it more as I had the opportunity to come back. As you see the name of a restaurant, you would automatically think STK is derived from the word «steak», so the steak must be nothing but the best here. I had the steak here and sadly to say, I definitely had better elsewhere where a steak is more flavorful and delicious. If I remember correctly, the steak was acceptable but not overly amazing. If I remember correctly, it was a tad dry; but then again if it really caught my taste buds, I would have remembered.
Apple and Endive (gorgonzola, walnuts, duck prosciutto) garden salad + shrimp:
This is definitely one of the most delicious salad I have ever had, but then again, I don’t ever go out to eat just a salad. I was recommended this and I was feeling that I should be eating healthy and I did. In my salad, I have opted in to add shrimp for $ 12. The shrimp was definitely a decent size and blended well with the light dressing, walnuts, and duck prosciutto. ** After checking the check and asking the waiter, the $ 12 shrimps were «jumbo shrimp», and it was for two shrimps… the most expensive shrimps I have ever eaten in my entire life.
In addition, I was able to try some of the fries from my co-​worker and boy, are they on point. The french fries were very thinly cut and seasoned in a way that beats every other fries place I go to. Every time I pass by STK and see people eating lunch, I can’t stop thinking about how delicious the fries were.
Dinner: Spiced Duck Breast. I have been craving duck ever since I was taken to my first French restaurant and had duck. The duck here is amazingly delicious — Very soft and flavorful. If I ever come back for dinner, it would be a hard decision for me to either pick the duck or try something new.

This place has a great atmosphere, nice upbeat music being played by a DJ in the corner when u walk in. The front desk hostesses are super funny and friendly and food was delicious! Portions are great for the price. Deff recommend this place for a anniversary like I came for.

I found STK in London and have had many great meals there along with the Los Angeles location (West LA). I wanted to try this location out since it was close to the hotel my friend and I were staying at and I was able to get a pre-​theater reservation on a Saturday night. From the time you are greeted by the hostess to the waitstaff and even the bus boys, everyone was very friendly and efficient.
I ordered the shrimp cocktail that had 4 large shrimp served on a bed of ice with the absolute best cocktail sauce. My friend got the STK version of a caeser salad — both were excellent.
We each had cocktails that were so-​so. TNT was weak for my guest and my old fashion wasn’t the best (compared to the old fashion I got at the W the night before at Blue Fin made with the same bulleit bourbon).
I got the sea bass and my guest got the petite filet — both were superb, but what blew us away were the sides We got the mac and cheese and cauliflower au gratin. We ate every bite.
The restaurant is beautiful and the DJ was playing a mash up of 80’s songs that was fun.

I went with a friend for drinks after work. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. Sadly, that’s all we would enjoy. Our waitress didn’t show up for 10 minutes to take our drink order. Another 10 minutes later we got a bad pour of wine and a watered down martini. We ordered the kobe beef sliders. Be warned, for $ 22 you get two sliders. We also ordered burrata and bread. The bread finally came as the bus boy was clearing the table. Somewhere in there our waitress said she would come back to take drink orders. The next time she came was to bring the check. But the worst travesty we witnessed was another waitress filling the Fiji bottles with tap water, replacing the cap and serving it to another table. KLASSY! There are many more and much better places to be overcharged for drinks and apps in Midtown.

The restaurant is so gorgeous, the service was really good and the food was delicious!

Outstanding experience from the minute we walked through the door. This is one of the top high end steakhouses I have been to, certainly a step up from Ruth Chris type places. We had an appetizer of Kobe beef (yes the real Kobe that was overnighted from Japan!). It was $ 36 an ounce with a 3 ounce minimum but man was it good. Bone in Ribeye was the best I have ever had with peppercorn crust.
This is my first 5 star review j believe, but it warrants it.
Be prepared to spend $ 150 a person though.

Love the atmosphere here; it is perfect for lunch and dinner. Although I did not get the steak when I dined here, I did have their lobster mac & cheese and their foie gras burger. The burger was a bit salty for me but I am a foie gras fan– like HUGE. I saw that on the menu and I just had to get it. I would come back to check out the steak but as far as service goes– it is spectacular!

Great, if:
— you’re looking for a trendy spot to have overpriced drinks with coworkers
— you’re trying to impress your first date without wanting to pay the price for an actual steakhouse
— you want to have cocktails with your girls and scout your next sugar daddy
— you want to experience sex and the city vibes with your girls
— you want to hear extremely loud hip hop that just doesn’t seem to be the type of music this crowd would go for but the DJ thinks it’s a good idea because it’s «hip» and «trendy»
Even though we had reservations we waited a good 30 minutes to be seated. The overly nice hostess kept walking past us by the bar and winking and joking with us about our «yummy cocktails» and «super fun girls night» while we’re all like WHERE IS OUR TABLE GIRL?
Food:
I opted for the 6oz filet cuz I wanted to keep it cute. Waist size not wallet. But when that little baby meat was placed before me I was like… OK not THAT cute! I asked for medium well and the outside was charred a bit much. I swear if I had a scale I would’ve weighed that thing because it was not 6oz. Parmesan fries were good but nothing about it blew me away. You get a good 5 fries for $ 13. The mac and cheese, however, was pretty good and it was a nice serving.
Drinks:
I had a $ 16 glass of cabernet while we waited for our table — meh. The strawberry graham cracker cocktail was delicious, though.
I think this place is a bit pretentious and super touristy, not my style.

Was a bit disappointed on my experience here. We had reservations for a birthday and was seated right away despite being a few minutes late. The music was great too but the food & service was subpar. The taste of the food itself was delicious however the food was a bit cold and portions of the t-​bone steak was rougher than others. Despite all this it was tolerable and figured not like the food go to waste or complain.
When we finally asked for the check it took over half an over to get to us. Bill was $ 400 (not too terrible) between 6 of us and we figured to tip the waitress over 20% as it is a fancier establishment. It then took another 20 – 30 mins for the check to get back to us after running the cards.
Service is okay, food is meh, but ambiance was nice. Won’t be back as there are other places better for the price.

So far one of my favorite «up-​scale» places in NewYork… It’s dressy, they have loud-​ish music (dj) and great food. The steak selection is really good and they have a wine bottle called «The Prisioner» (sold also by the glass) that has come to be on of my favorite bottles of Cabernet.
The architecture in the Middtown STK is in my opinion way better and more luxurious than the one in downtown and it seems to be a bit less crowded. It’s a great place for special ocassions, specially if you’re looking for a contemporary place with young crowd. Great place for couples

Great food, atmosphere and décor! Very pricy but I would say that it’s worth it, if it’s for a special occasion. Nice place to dress up, eat then go and enjoy NYC lights.

Came here after work with a few coworkers. We had reservations so our table was ready when we got there. We went on Thursday night and restaurant and bar area was pretty full. There was a DJ in the restaurant as well so it was a bit loud. This is not a restaurant that you come to all the time because it is pricey. We all ordered our entrees and ordered a few sides to share. I got the medallion steak and it was really good. I completely enjoyed my meal. This is a special occasion restaurant. The service and wait staff was on point.

Amazing dinner and Drinks! Went on a Wednesday night and it was super lively. I would definitely come again.

Came here for Restaurant Week lunch and it was unimpressive. The service and ambiance was great but the food was really ordinary. I know I shouldn’t expect TOO MUCH considering it’s a prix fixe menu and it’s for $ 25 but I expected more than what I got. The white bean and kale soup tasted ok but it looked really plain and unappetizing. It also tasted like a lot of MSG.
My two friends got the chicken paillard and they said it was decent and my classic burger was okay too. Although it didn’t taste BAD, there wasn’t anything special about it. We also got an assortment of sorbets for dessert and my favorite one was the coconut… probably the best thing I ate during this meal.
Overall very ordinary… Kind of disappointed.

Recently dined at STK in Midtown, with a group of friends. It may have been one of the best steakhouse experiences I have had in some time — that is saying a lot.
First off, the ambiance was top notch! Great service, lighting (yes lighting is key), service and also an amazing DJ who played an array of music that made for a fun evening.
The Food, to put it simply, all amazing. My order was the Peppercorn crusted Filet Mignon with a topping of two Shrimp.
Our waitress, Nicole, went above and beyond to ensure our happiness and satisfaction! Easily the best service I have had in some time. I would highly recommend asking for Nicole to wait your table. An example of this high tier service; Our group of four was well taking care of and when the kitchen made a small mistake with one order, we were able to take a home a complementary steak, for the troubles. She was simply great and took the experiences form good to AMAZING!
5 Stars!

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. I love their truffle fries and their lambchops. I have been here several times for drinks and three times for dinner. Every meal was very good. The vibe is chic with a hip crowd. Drinks are not watered down, service is good as well. Great for groups or a date. I try to return whenever I can.

My first experience at STK was in their Las Vegas location and what an experience! Since I was in NYC for work, my coworkers and I decided to try their flagship location. It was amazing! Same party like, high-​energy spot as in Vegas. They had a great DJ who was playing everything from TLC to old school hip hop, to modern hits like T Swift. Now, the food. The food is plate licking good! I ordered the sea bass and hit a home run with that order. Cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin. Our oysters were also nothing short of perfection. Highly recommend this spot but a reservation is a must!

We celebrated our daughter’s 18^th birthday to a trip to New York since she will be attending school there next year. Her coach recommended STK since it was walking distance from our hotel in midtown.
The bread was yummy and unique. We loved it especially since we were very hungry. Glass of wine recommended by our waiter was very good. I ordered the Sea Bass, and honestly the best sea bass I have ever experienced. My daughter and husband both ordered steak which they loved. We also ordered sides of asparagus and Yukon potatoes. I did not realize the potatoes would be whipped and mashed but there were no lumps to be found in the dish. Although not what I expected, it was good.
The only disappointment to me was their dessert selection. I am big on tiramisu or red velvet, to my surprise they had neither. My husband ordered a big Bön Bön filled with ice cream and strawberries. The waiter poured hot chocolate on it to ‘explode’ it open. Presentation was beautiful but this dessert was so sweet I could not eat it. My daughter had the candy dessert tray which she enjoyed. I tried a little from her plate and it was too sweet for me as well.
Overall great food and service but if we were to dine here again we will explores another place for dessert.

Brought my mom here for dinner before a show. Although she was uncomfortable at first with the pricey-​ness of the place as it was my treat, I told her to knock it off and get something delicious! We both had a glass of wine — our waitress was very helpful in steering us in the right direction. She even let us taste the different wines they offered for me to see which one we liked best. Which at $ 15-​$ 18 per glass, that was very appreciated.
The complimentary bread was delicious. Pull-​apart with blue butter (bleu cheese butter!) and a chive oil dipping sauce. Delish!
We both got filet mignon medallions, I got the blue butter and she got the Bernaise sauce to dip. We also got the creamed spinach and Parmesan truffle fries to share. I would perhaps try another side other than the truffle fries they were (slightly) disappointing — I’ve just had much better. But the presentation was excellent.
We had raspberry sorbet to cleanse the pallet.
All in all it was a great experience. Only thing was towards the end as the place got packed (around 6:15/6:30) we saw our waitress less and less so it took a while to just pay the bill.
Glad I got to see what all the talk was about!

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday with a top notch place where we both have not gone to before. STK was that and even more, it was beyond excellent and superb service and our server Adrian did a great job making us feel more than welcomed and answered all of our questions with menu items.
Please note that even though the address states it’s on 6^th Ave, you have to walk towards 43^rd Street to get to the restaurant. As we enter we were greeted and seated right away for our Tuesday 8pm reservation, the décor of STK Midtown is gorgeous. Contemporary modern look, the oval ceilings look as if it was if they were trying to get the look of a steak bone and having the black drapes all around made the white pop out even more. As soon was we were seated we ordered our drinks and minutes later we received their complimentary warm bread with pesto sauce, it was the perfect amount I might say since by the end of our dinner we were stuffed.
Drinks:
The boyfriend got the Strawberry Cobbler that consisted of Belvedere vodka, muddled with real strawberries and a graham cracker rim, something I love to come back to because it was that good.
I got that Cucumber Stiletto, any drink that contains cucumber and St. Germaine is a winner in my book. The perfect combination of Ketel One Cintroen, muddled cucumber and mint was more than I can ever expect.
Appetizer:
We got the Tuna Tartar, one of the best ones I’ve ever had and it has a lot to do with the special honey soy sauce on the bottom of the plate that with every bite it tasted like sushi.
Entrée:
We decided to share one of their large options; we got the 24 oz. porterhouse steak with lobster topping and STK Bold and Chimichurri sauces. For sides with got the Truffle Fries and Mac & Cheese. Everything was perfect I was beyond stuffed by this point and we couldn’t finish the rest of the delicious steak.
We had to make room for dessert though since I wanted to end the night with some sweets for the boyfriends’ birthday, our choice was the Champagne room, it comes with hot chocolate to melt the chocolate layer to get to the strawberry ice scream inside.
Thank you STK Midtown for this amazing experience and we will make sure to come back soon and Adrian thanks for the complimentary champagne glass that went well with our dessert.

Came here for a friend’s birthday dinner. The food, for the most part, was really good. The complimentary bread (arguably the best part of the meal) with pesto sauce was SOO GOOD. Our waiter offered us another serving of the bread because my friends and I devoured it within seconds.
I got the chili rubber rack of lamb and it was phenomenal. The outer layer of crisp complimented the juiciness and tenderness of the meat. The lamb also came with couscous (which I’m not a big fan of) but nevertheless, the lamb was amazing.
I had a piece of the steak and it was ok. Personally, I prefer the steak from Peter Lugars or Smith & Wollensky. The sauce was a tad too sweet for my likings.
The mac and cheese was really good. Cheesy, but not too cheesy, and had just enough salt.
Initially I thought the parmesan fries were going to be amazing. But the overwhelming scent of parmesan was a major turn off and the saltiness only negated the taste of the actual fry. Not worth the money at all.
The mashed potatoes were good, but nothing too special.
I would recommend the champagne room for dessert and the ice cream sampler.
4 stars instead of 5 because the service was soooooo freaking slow and the music was too loud. You literally had to shout for a person next to you hear you. Overall the dining experience was nice but I doubt I’ll ever come here because there are far better places worth the money. Maybe I’ll come here during restaurant week for the lamb.

Came for a friend’s birthday dinner. We were seated as soon as we got there.
It is a very loungey vibe with people crowded around the bar for drinks, people seated all around the couches chatting and mingling.
Passed the bar is the dinner seating area with beautiful lighting and decoration!
Our waitress was so fun and friendly and gave us great suggestions on the food. I would highly recommend for a night out w the girls or a big group birthday dinner!

The porterhouse steak was good and cooked to my liking. The Lobster cake appetizers was really good, my girlfriend had the shortrib and it was really good. We had a bottle of Mr Wonderful’s wine and it was full body and tasty. The hip music and young atmosphere makes this one of the best steakhouses i ever been to. This is a must people.

perfect evening. From the moment I walked in to the moment we left, the staff was courteous and professional. The atmosphere was very nice for a Sunday evening.
Of course the food was the best part. From the salad and appetizer to the grill and the desserts, everything was so tasty. My brother’s and I have absolutely no complaints.
Already made reservations to return with my boyfriend.

A little hidden from the building. Once upon my arrival, was greeted by friendly host. Loved her smile! I like the ambience but yet too noisy for me.
We ordered:
Scallop– blown away with the succulent texture
Mini racks of lamb– perfect temperature. Well cooked with great combination of the sauce.
Foie Gras — loved the 1^st bite but too much fat from the inside. The sauce was too sour too.
Tuna tartare– nothing special.
Oysters– fresh and that was it.
Bread with chives garlic sauce dipped was awesome! (Complimentary).
Overall: 2.6

Super swanky business lunch or fun ~NYC~ date spot for dinner. Bar area looks fun, may be a good midtown option.
Located up the open pavilion thing near the HBO building, this restaurant has a pretty big nice bar and tons of bouchy tables.
On a Tuesday afternoon it was packed! But they got us in right at our reservation. I ordered the tuna club and it was fantastic! Huge pieces of rare tuna, with bacon, egg and tomato. The side salad was nicely dressed with lots of little heirloom tomatoes.
My friend got the chicken pillard (sp?) entrée, which is basically a big salad over some thin grilled chicken.
Overall the food was very good, but we left paying ~$ 45 for the entire bill. And that’s with no drinks, just the two entrees.

The meal was very good but it definitely isn’t up there with the elite NYC steakhouses. The meat lacked that omg taste but it was still very good. I have always felt with a steakhouse why should I pay for ok when excellent or amazing is really the same price.
STK is relatively the same price as the famous NYC spots but the atmosphere is anything but classic steakhouse. They do have some moderately priced options.
They had a house DJ who was playing a great mix of music but it was on the loud side. The room was very cool and modern.
Apps:
Bread: I am a sucker for fresh baked bread. It was very good.
Shrimp Cocktail — 3 shrimp for $ 19. The shrimp weren’t as big as I had hoped and they tasted fresh but had a snap to them that wasn’t great.
Lil BRGs — I had high hopes for these but I was pretty disappointed. The thing that bothered me most was this is a steak house but they give me a well done burger?! That’s a Lil BS!
Main:
Bone in Ribeye — I am also a sucker for Bone in Ribeyes. It was perfectly cooked and tender but it lacked the crisp exterior and some seasoning. It was very good but again if you haven’t been to Brooklyn for steak you will think this is amazing. For those of us who have we know the difference.
Fries — they weren’t my choice to order but glad we did. They were excellent.

Food was amazing, great atmosphere and love DJ was on point with the music, The drinks were also very good and strong.
Disclaimer: I would give 5 starts but don’t think it’s possible to be perfect.

STK is a hip and chic steakhouse. It is also the prime brand of restaurant under «The ONE Group!»
If you can, try to eat outdoor. The night we were there, the weather was just fantastic with just a slight breeze, and very little humidity. The inside décor is fantastic, but the music can get a bit overwhelming, and may be hard to hear quality conversations!
I really enjoyed their macaroni and cheese lobster. It was cooked just right. My filet mignon medallion was also cooked to perfection (medium rare). I came here with my coworkers, and we each ordered different dishes to try, but the one that stood out the most for side dish, definitely were the mash potatoes and green pepper grits.
Just a heads up, there is a dress code for dining inside, preferably «upscale» as they stated in their website. Lucky for us, we just finished working and had our suits on and the ladies, all looked like they were ready to paint the town, looking «fabulous!!»
Until then, Cheers ~ :p

My boss surprised me with a reservation to STK today for lunch. Wow the décor is soooo beautiful and leaves me speechless. The hostess seated us at a huge booth meant for 4 people and my boss mentioned it was a birthday lunch hehe =) STK has $ 25 or $ 45 for Restaurant Week menu but I don’t think that I can’t eat too much on a lunch break or I am going to get the ITIS and be on cloud 9 =) Sharaf greeted us with a friendly manner and very attentive at our table.
Starters: Market Lettuces (my boss) and Hearts of Romaine (my order)…too many romaine leaves and it took me awhile to cut it up and eat it
Entrée: Classic Burger (2)…medium well (my boss) and well done (my order)…we cut our burger in half to eat it better since this is fine dining and not at McDonalds… the bun makes us so full… bye bye bun and straight to the burger… hubba hubba on the yummy strings of fries.
Dessert: Lemon Sorbet (2)…mine had a lit candle and a chocolate Happy Birthday sign… awww major blushing hehe
As we were leaving, Sharaf and another server wished me a Happy Birthday! I can’t believe that my birthday is within a week hehe
Overall this experience at STK was on top of most restaurants that I have dine at. Take advantage of Restaurant Week (
) people!
