STK Steakhouse Rooftop NYC

I arrived with a party of 9 and had to wait for over an hour (granted I was 10 min late) which I guess would have been fine if the host didn't keep lying and saying "10 minutes"..... Finally I just asked for the cake back which took another 15 minute ( i don't think they were able to find it as we handed it over to the bar waitress since we weren't seated yet). So all in all... A NIGHT WASTED. I WILL NEVER CONSIDER THIS PLACE IF I WAS DYING OF STARVATION- more

Loved the food at STK. We were seated promptly even after arriving 10 minutes late. The food was fabulous. We ordered short ribs (melts in your mouth), scallop ceviche (beautiful presentation), Small Skirt Steak (make sure to order sides as it only comes with a small piece of meat, nothing else). The best side dishes are the yukon potatoes and the mac and cheese (really good). For desert Warm Chocolate S'mores and Brioche Bread Pudding. We had no complaints at all plus the waitstaff are very attractive. Plan on going back as soon as possible. Pros: Food and Hot Waiters Cons: None. more

The fillet mignon, lamb porterhouse , crab toppings and cheese macaroni were all good (cream of spinach was alright.... best cream of spinach is in the house of prime rib in San Fran). the warm chocolate molten cake desert was REALLY good. The ambiance is upbeat and exciting. The DJ was doing a great job and everyone was enjoying his music. Ask to be seated by the staircase for an even better view >;-) Only downside was the waiter was a smarty pants (the ny attitude) Pros: good food, exciting ambience, good looking crowd Cons: expensive ..... VERY more

I've been there a few times with friends, and I have to say when you're eating there the service is outstanding. It feels like you have an entire staff waiting on you. Plus the decor is very trendy and the people are too. The fireplaces in the columns are a great touch (I've only been during the winter, not sure if they are going during any other seasons). Would recommend to anyone looking for a trendy restaurant with lots of energy. Be prepared to drop about $100+ however. Oh, yeah and the food is fantastic too. more

if the ambiance of traditional steakhouses is too boring for you, then STK is your spot. bone-in rib is stellar and wine selection is impressive w... more

Great drinks but dont try the Gin with cucumber slices. Too much cucumber. The bar set up was nice. It had these elephant trunks (not real) sticking out of the wall. Very modern and luxurious. They had a cool place to have drinks while waiting for a table. We ordered the chocolate dessert and hazelnut ice cream. My girlfriend loved it. more

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. more

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 more

My boyfriend and I had the displeasure of dining for the first time at STK the other day. My experience to say the least was... interesting. The interior was decent, but the atmosphere was extremely loud and full of pretentious snobs & gold digging transvestites. A comedy of errors, the staff was quite inattentive and when we were finally serviced, it seemed as if they were trying to get us up and out (despite us being forced to wait about 35min. after our reservation)! Food was nothing to brag about and my bf was in shock at the sight of his bite-sized Maine Lobster which he was promised would be a good portion. Needless to say, we will not be dining at this circus again. Pros: Interior Cons: Service, Pretentious Consumer Base more

ok went to stk after everyone was raving..well first hostess tries to squeeze us btwn other tables when store was pretty empty(sunday night) requested the booth.. she got annoyed but sat at booth. the service was great had an excellent waitress though i forgot her name. the food was good but expected to be much better. had the fish and skirt steak which was mediocre.. had the rock shrimp as reviewed as great i found it blah buuuut the sweet corn pudding was delicious! overall very nice decor with a hip atmosphere just wish food could of been a little better considering price Pros: lots of bars around, good vibe more

Visited STK as part of a long night out. The food was great, I had the fish and my husband had the steak. The fish was very very good, but the steak was great. The waitress was very nice and we didn't have to wait 2hrs for the food like at some other places. Pros: Ambience and food Cons: parking more

Last week I went to STK with a few of my friends and was completely blown away. There was a small wait, which was fine because we waited in this really cool little sectioned off bar. Side note: get the ginger something cocktail. I HATE fresh ginger, and this was one of best drinks I ever had. Extra pionts for the cute bartender. Our waiter suggested the shrimp rice crispies, a great choice. Not only was he on the ball with every question we threw at him, but he was extremely attentive. The manager even stopped by to see if we were enjoying ourselves! I have every intention of going back, and already booked a client dinner for next week. Pros: great food, great music Cons: none more

This is perhaps the most pretensious place i've been to but being a goodlooking/trendy guy myself i didnt mind. The decor is really nothing special i expected more. The steak was way below average and the service was on the bad side. Overall, you should expect better food than that at those prices. Pros: goodlooking / fashionable crowd Cons: steak, service, price more

I have always heard rave reviews about STK, but recently I went there myself thinking it was going to a fabulous experience that I could go home and tell my friends about and brag how great of a time it was. I guess that was all wishful thinking. Bragging is the last thing I want to do. The service there was horrible! The party I was with booked reservations over a month ago, thinking it would make the night go smoothly. Our table wasn't ready when we got there, which was fine but when a hour nearly passed it became very frustrating. What good is a reservation if they don't uphold it? We tried not to let that bother us, but for ordering bottle service all night, I thought by the time we did get seated the waitress would have been a bit understanding about the wait and accommodating to our needs. Instead she acted in such an absurd, thoughtless, and offending manor. I was appalled! A gentleman from another table even came over and asked us about the waitress because he even noticed her actions. I can say that the friends I went with were a bit more patient then I because by the time the manager stepped in and apologized for his servers behavior I was too fed up to even hear the spiel he had to offer on her defense that I had to excuse myself. I couldn't have been any more hurt by how insulting the staff was! There is NO justification to what happened that night. It was supposed to be a special birthday celebration which ended in complete unhappiness. Pros: Food Cons: Staff more

I was at STK w/ a group of 6 celebrating a birthday. They sat us almost an hour past our reservation time and sent the rudest waitress to our table. Towards the end of our meal her lack of manners and tacky political comments led us to ask for the manager who politely listened to our complaint and comped our whopping $40 bottle of wine only when he finally caught on that we were not just making a complaint - we were seriously offended by our waitress's rude manner. Had I forseen the way our night would go I would never have wasted a fun night out going to STK. Pros: food, but how can you enjoy it with horrible service? Cons: service more

A group of people from work decided to celebrate a recent success at STK last night and we were pleased with our choice. STK offers a steakhouse menu combined with a fairly typical Meatpacking vibe. My 10 oz. filet was up to par, although not the best I've ever had... I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. We split 6 side dishes and they were all solid... the best by far were the parmasean fries -- basically a very interesting and delicious version of french fries. For an appetizer I went with a half dozen oysters, which were nice to start the meal but I've had much better oysters at some of NYC's finer restaurants that specialize in seafood. The wine list is actually reasonable and we had two bottles of pinot noir, priced around $60 each. That made the experience more affordable and kept the wine flowing throughout our meal. Dessert was probably the best part of our experience... banana bread pudding was superb for me but the true winner was the peanut butter s'mores -- we actually ordered 2 of those. The molten chocolate cake was another success. The resaurant is trendy and in general STK has something for everyone. It wasn't the best steakhouse I've ever been to, but it was certainly the youngest-feeling steakhouse I've been to. STK says it caters to women and that is clear because the restaurant's main dining area was totally filled by 8pm and I'd say it was at least 50% women. Being a guy, I was of course okay with this. Unfortunately the crowd can be a little bit touristy due to the restaurant's reputation and location, but I got over it. Music selection in the main dining room reminded me of a playlist you'd hear at an NYU-area dive bar, but again as long as you don't expect the 'typical' steakhouse experience, it's a fun time. I'd go back to STK but only with a group and not simply to satisfy my urge for red meat... upstairs private rooms would be great for parties I bet. Pros: Fun, Trendy, Lots of Women, Good Steak, Good Food, Good Service, Reasonably-Priced Wine Cons: Better Steak Elsewhere more

My buddies and I get together for dinner every few months in Manhattan and someone suggested STK. We made a reservation for Friday at 9:30PM for a party of 12. We arrived around 9:15 to check in and went to the bar for some drinks (Beer $8 & Mixed Drink $12-14). We were checked on by a hostess a few times and given updates on our table. We wound up being seated at 10pm but we didnt mind it as we were enjoying our time at the bar soaking in the scene. We were seated at a table in the back corner which to be honest was tight for 12 pretty big guys but we managed. Our server was excellent! Bread was refreshed every few minutes as well as our drinks. Most of us ordered the steaks which all came out cooked to our desire. The sides were excellent. We ordered the the corn pudding, parmesian truffle fries, grilled asparagus, spinach and mushrooms and all were delicious! Compared to the traditional steak restaurants around, the food here was very light and definitely not as oily/greasy which was nice. We were stuffed after dinner and did not have dessert so I can not comment on that. If you are very hungry, impatient, do not have time to spare and do not enjoy a loungy atmosphere with music bumping in the background, do not go here. I would definitely return again and all of us were very satisfied and had a great time. Pros: Ambience/People Watching/Loungy/Well prepared food/Worth a Try!! Cons: Cramped Seating/Long Waits/Pricy more

This place was easily the place to be for an after dinner drink before you head out to one of the other clubs to stay for the rest of the night. I didn't have dinner here, so I can't comment on the quality of the food, but I can certainly give you a taste of what the nightlife aspect of STK was like. First of all, we went on a Thursday night, which is pretty busy down in that area. We got in right away. Bouncer and staff were the most courteous and helpful people you could ever meet at a club/bar. As soon as you get in you notice the quality of people. Everyone there is impeccably dressed either in business attire (coming straight from work) or the club attire (getting ready for an all nighter at Tenjune starting at 2am). Maybe it was the fact that it was Fashion Week, but every woman there was taller than me (I'm 6 foot 5) and must have been a model. The drinks were not cheap (not that you'll find a cheap place down in that area), but not unreasonably priced. Great sitting area where you can just chill and enjoy conversations with some interesting people. The only negative is that it closes relatively early (1am). All in all, STK is the best place to start your night. Pros: Staff, People, Atmosphere, Location Cons: Closes early more

AS a female going to a steak place is not my idea of fun till i found STK.. wow.. the food is yummy.. I loved the skate.. the bar scene is good i appreciate the fact that the majority of the men there are in suits or are at least well dressed and no matter what everyone seems to be friends there.. I walekd up to bar waiting on the rest of my party and this group of people beside me asked if it was my first time and gave suggestions.. i can't wait to go back again even if for drinks.. Pros: skate, and the french fries. Cons: getting there more

STK has a good menu. The meat is good, they plate it nicely, good sides, good drinks, good bar scene, good service. I've had good experiences here for both dinner, and drinks on several occasions. more
