The Scene
Picture windows along the facade show off the pretty crowd like mannequins at neighboring boutiques. Stark black-and-white accents, from faux elephant tusks flanking the bar to the shiny ebony leather lining the lounge, infuse the space with contrast. A live DJ clinches the clubby mood.
The Food
Meat portions, divided into small, medium and large cuts, are all generous; the humbly named "Little T," for example, offers a quality 10-ounce T-bone. A selection of garden salads--like a mache, crab, melon and avocado mix--will appease those concerned with fitting into designer duds, while lightly curried scallops garnished with peas are a seafood standout. Some mains, like the bland short ribs, don't fare as well, though any dish can be saved by the parmesan-truffle fries--a stack of lightly crisped potato rectangles packing salty-earthy power in each bite. A fruit salad punched up with black pepper provides a refreshing but assertive ending.

I just recently took a trip to NYC and and made reservations to dine at STK. The food was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides such as the truffle fries are a must. My friends and I had a great time and will surely be returning.

The waiters are very nice and they tried very hard to provide the best service. However, the steaks were mediocre. Burned outside and very bitter taste on the edges (charred meat).

Our friends took us out to STK to celebrate our wedding. We had a party of 14 and a confirmed reservation for 9:30 on a Friday night. We were finally seated at 10:45. The drinks in the interim were extremely weak; I thought the bartender had misheard my order and given me just soda without the vodka, and was snooty about replacing it. The bread for the table gave me high hopes- it was outstanding. It was followed by a salad that was drenched in generic dressing and cheap-tasting cheese. My steak was laughably small (the filet medallion) and had no flavor. The texture was too chewy and very difficult to cut. For desert we had chocolate molten cake with ice cream. It was competent but nothing special. Oh, and my side of sweet corn pudding tasted like unbaked cornbread batter. The atmosphere was very lively and fun, the service was great, but the food is severely lacking.
