Steak à la STK

Contemporary chic, sexy, and elegant.  I recently had dinner here for the first time with a friend and really enjoyed it.  All of it.  While it’s a great place for a date, the eclectic ambiance would make it a cool spot to enjoy with friends as well. 

Our appetizer selections were French toast foie gras (melt-in-your-mouth good!), shrimp rice crispies (nice presentation, but a tad over-cooked), and a lump crab salad (winner!). 

Let me get to the point here... the meat.  I ordered the filet with a blue cheese topping.  It was fantastic; not the best, but delicious and tender nonetheless.  In hindsight, it may have been the topping I chose--the blue cheese was a little dry.  When you’re expecting a nice, creamy-velvety texture and you’re not given just that… it’s not cool.  Knew I should’ve gone with the black truffles.  Yep, I said it.  Black truffles.  Shaved black truffles to be exact.  I also preferred the creamy horseradish sauce to the toasted peppercorn.  Crème fraiche and horseradish is my new found favorite dipping sauce for steak.  Ah-mazing.  I strongly recommend the mixed mushrooms as a side.  The broccolini was okay; just not very buttery and moist.

Dessert was an iced tiramisu (best I’ve had) and frozen berry, (tasted like frozen Yoplait or Go-gurt) but the vodka-infused berries were yummy. 

All in all, the service, ambiance, and food are what will bring me back out to STK for seconds.
