   Love the food at STK but the acoustics and layout of the restaurant defeat the purpose of enjoying a good meal and enjoying your guests at any table. The music was entirely too loud (upbeat is OK, but blaring is not good). My 10 guests were from out of town / out of the country and I really feel the ambience (open ceiling with giraffe peering down) was avante grade but sadly, our dining experience was quite limited due to the loud environment.

   We came for brunch. Food was good but should have been served hot. There were not many in the restaurant for brunch at 11am so not sure why our meal took so long to come out.

   Food was fantastic and the kitchen was fast. The server was nice but there seemed to be a complete meltdown in drink and bar service. Several of the wrong drinks came to our table and it took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive.

   Dear Lane, Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and found the kitchen to be fast. However, we're very sorry for the issues you experienced with the drink and bar service. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait and receive incorrect drinks. We’ll be addressing this with our bar team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience next time. Best regards, Drew B.

   Food was excellent, wine list good, and service very good. Noise level was extremely energetic and unable to hear conversation at the table.

   This STK site always books too many reservations despite capacity. Even if you book expect to wait an additional 15-45 minutes for your table. This has happened to me twice visiting this location a year apart. Food is excellent. Server was excellent once we were sat. Music was too loud for smaller environment.

   We had a 7:00 PM reservation, and we weren’t seated until almost 9:00 PM. Incredibly frustrating. Other than that, it was a great experience. Great food and service.

   Food was okay. Apps were good, calamari and Shrimp cocktail. We all got the surf and turf, some with filet and shrimp, some with lobster. For a $550 bill the food is way overpriced. My steak was not cooked correctly, and instead of cooking a new one the right way, they threw mine on the grill, and the outside was burnt. Would not come back. Ambiance was nice, but not worth the price.

   Dear Amanda, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. While we're glad you enjoyed the appetizers, we regret that your steak wasn’t cooked to your liking and that the resolution didn’t meet your expectations. This isn’t the level of service we strive for, and we’ll address this with our team. We also understand your concerns about value, and we appreciate your input as we continually review our offerings. We’d love the opportunity to make it right—please feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss further. We hope to welcome you back. Best, Drew B.

   Leider erneut 50 Minuten Wartezeit, trotz Reservierung. Darf für die Preise nicht passieren.
   

   STK- San DiegoResponded 2 days ago

   Liber Frank,, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die 50-minütige Wartezeit trotz Ihrer Reservierung. Wir verstehen, wie frustrierend das sein muss, besonders angesichts der Preise und der Erwartungen an eine pünktliche Erfahrung. Das entspricht nicht dem Standard, den wir anstreben, und wir ergreifen Maßnahmen, um dieses Problem in Zukunft zu vermeiden. Wir schätzen Ihre Geduld und hoffen, Sie bei Ihrem nächsten Besuch für ein effizienteres und angenehmeres Erlebnis begrüßen zu dürfen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Drew B.

    A5 Wagyu was melt in your mouth delicious! Blue Gem salad and Tuna Tartare were amazing! I would have given 5 stars for the food but the oysters were not shucked properly. Service was great!
