Such a delicious meal. The servers were friendly and put up with me and my group who were probably a bit loud and a little tipsy. We really enjoyed ourselves. Next time we’ll keep it classy.

STK in Bellevue is an outstanding establishment in every way. I'm 65 and found the music too loud. I understand that is part of the vibe... That's why I mentioned my age. But, the volume of the music was the only thing that dropped them from a five to four star experience for me. Everything else, food (top quality and expertly prepared) and service (the most excellent Jasmine) was first class. Thank you.

We enjoyed great meals last night at Allistir One of us had the scallops and I had the venison. Both were excellent with the accompany vegetables also excellent. We eat at Allistir often and these were some of our best meals and the new chef Joel is obviously doing wonderfully. We recommend eating at Allistir.

Fun evening! Great drinks and a wonderfully friendly and engaging bartender! The food was perfect. Ahi tuna was fresh and very flavorful. The black cod was cooked to perfection (my wife's favorite), and my filet was a perfect mediumrare. The server, along with the entire staff, was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommend!
