Editorial Review for STK – by Kathleen Squires
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 was there for my friends birthday. I loved it . The atmosphere was great and a lot of cool people. The food is delicious. The first time i went there i had steak which was really good. The second time i had lobster which was also yummy. Try the French fries they are very yummy too. If you are looking forward to see celebrities deff go to stk. I met Brody Jenner and one of the cast from gossip girls. Its very romantic and i enjoyed it very much.

I acknowledge that when you go to 1) a steakhouse 2) in the meatpacking you have to expect a certain amount of overcharging and overhype, but this place simply takes it to another level. I don't even mind waiting for an hour past our reservation time to be seated - except that a glass of Johnny Walker is $16. The prices don't look too outrageous until you mind the details - instead of the normal 2-3 sides for a table you have to order at most steakhouse, the waiter recommends "at least one per person". Again, I can forgive the prices, except that the steak was awful. If you want a great steak, there are much better places and if you want to go to meatpacking there are at least places that aren't this bad.
Pros: None
Cons: Food, prices
