4.7 / 5.0(13,437 reviews)

The food was phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and the portions were generous. The ambiance was wonderful, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly, creating such a lively and inviting vibe. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the quality of everything else. Our server had our entire section and seemed overwhelmed, so everything was a bit backed up. She was kind but delayed with each of us. By the time our drinks arrived, we had already finished dessert, and it took another 10-15 minutes to get our check after asking for it. The lobby was also very crowded, which made it feel like the restaurant might have been slightly overbooked that night. We were there celebrating our anniversary and noticed other tables receiving sparklers for their celebrations, but ours never came. It’s a small thing, but it would have made the evening feel more special. Despite that, I would definitely come back. The food, music, and atmosphere were incredible. I just hope next time the service experience matches the amazing quality of everything else. Back again on Sunday morning for Brunch and Sonia was just as amazing as she was on Friday. Cheerful and on point with everything. The food was phenomenal!!! I would recommend to anyone who wants incredible food friendly and prompt service needs to come here. *I wanted to add the drinks the bartender made were so great as well. I did not mean to leave her out! 😁 We had reservations at 6p but wasn't seated until about 15 minutes later because they had to get our table together. Whats the point in having a reservation if you'll still have to wait? I digress. The restaurant was super cute inside. We were finally seated and Monae was our server for the night. She started off cool but by the end of the night she was rude. I'm not sure if she was overwhelmed but there definitely was a switch. I almost lost it because she kept reaching over our plates. Thats one thing that drives me crazy. She took one of the plate settings away while someone was sitting there. We had to ask for another setting. The food was OVERPRICED and lacked flavor. The vegetarian pasta was $63 and all sides were $21. I ordered a mocktail and it was okay. My brussel sprouts were really good but not $21 good. The icing on the cake was the service dog that came in after us. They served the dog water in a drinking cup. At this point, we were all ready to go. On top of that, the dog was constantly in the middle of the walkway shaking his tail while we were trying to eat. I understand the need for a service dog, but some people are allergic to pet dander and having a dog drink out of a glass is crazy work. They're going to serve someone out of that same glass. Valet was $20 which was cheap. The bathroom needed to be cleaned. There were plenty of areas to take cute photos.

I had lunch at STK Chicago to celebrate my birthday. My friend generously treated me, and the meal cost around $500. While the atmosphere was nice and the food looked good, the steak I ordered medium rare was served closer to medium or well done. The service also felt unfriendly and inattentive, which was disappointing for a special occasion at this price point.

All the dishes I tried were excellent, but the steaks were absolutely delicious. Be sure to save room for dessert - they're also fantastic. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Highly recommend!
