   My first time at this restaurant I went for a birthday celebration for my boyfriend. We enjoyed the food, and the happy hour menu was the best that I've ever seen. The regular entrees were pricey so bring a date or make sure you have atleast $150 per person. The service could be much better for the price of the food. Overall we had a nice time, and great food!!

   Simply lovely venue (and comfy), wonderful service, delicious food and drink and happy hour all day long on New Year's Day... it's STK - what's not to love? ;D Still the blue cheese butter could be more cheesy, and the Blue Iceberg could take a page from Las Vegas' playbook. The peeled pickled tomatoes are everything!!! I've been to the SF location probably a half a dozen times since it opened. I've been to the Vegas location at least that many times. I've also been to NYC and Orlando each only once. Las Vegas wins by a landslide really. SF is the closest 2nd. But overall STK is a good place for an upscale meal.

   Took my girlfriend here on New Year’s Eve for dinner and we will never go back. The food was decent but the service was terrible and their $25 cocktails were almost all ice and water (supposedly they ran out of the proper ice to use in a cocktail) and had a stingy amount of alcohol. To end the night the waiter chased us down after we left to say we didn’t pay the bill and it ended up being the table next to ours bill. The experience couldn’t have been much worse.

   We chose STK in SF because we had a wonderful time at STK in San Diego and thought it would be the same in SF. We were wrong. We dined here on New Year's Eve so I am hoping that the sub-par service that we received is not the norm. The entire staff seemed overwhelmed. Front desk hosts were not very friendly; in fact they were borderline rude. We checked in 10 minutes early for our reservation and were told that we would be seated as soon as the table was ready. 25 minutes later I went back to ask about our table and was told that I had already checked in and they were still working on the table. I got the feeling that they forgot about us. We were seated about 10 minutes later. Service was very slow, our waiter spilled red wine on one of our guests and then forgot to order two starters. They also mixed up our orders and placed plates in front of the wrong guests. Prices were inflated for NYE which I guess is to be expected but $104.00 for a 10oz filet and $85 for a bowl of pasta seemed excessive. The bathroom situation was horrific - both the men's and women's restrooms were filthy and without basic supplies (toilet paper, paper towels), the garbage bins were overflowing, and one toilet in the women's restroom was overflowing and flooding the floor. I alerted an employee to the situation but it hadn't been addressed when I used the restroom again at the end of our meal (almost 2 hours later). It felt like they were not prepared for a full house on NYE. I hope they do better on a normal busy weekend, but I won't return anytime soon to find out.

   Es un lugar agradable de vista, pero muy poco transparente en los costos de lo que te ofrecen los meseros. Cada cosa que te ofrecen por lo más mínima que parezca tiene un costo. Además aunque tú mediques que que quieres las cosas de cierta forma, siguen insistiendo en cómo hacerlo a su manera, lo cual incomoda. La comida es regular tanto a nivel de calidad como tamaño de porción. En total es un restaurante que no ofrece suficiente valor en relación a lo que cobra.

   We came here for NYE dinner so not sure if the noise level was always this loud so if you want a romantic dinner I don’t think this is a place for that…but I do love the vibe as it’s very upbeat. The food and drink was excellent but I’d rather go to Morton’s for my steak next time. The server we had was excellent and very attentive to us. My only turn off for our first time here was the ladies bathroom, it was gross for a restaurant its more like a clubs bathroom. It might be because it NYE so no cleaning staff but it’s a restaurant so you have to maintain cleanliness! No toilet paper on some of the stall is bad!

   Made a reservation 2 months in advance since we flew in from out of state to celebrate NYE. I have dined at STK many times in Chicago and have always had a great experience. I wish I could say the same for this visit but it was really sub par. The check in area was located outside of the restaurant and. There was a big crowd outiside, I checked in 10 minutes before my reservation and was told they would let me know when my table is ready. Everything looked so unorganized and employees looked upset. Not sure if they didn’t expect to have a full house or they over booked reservations but it was a mess. The hostess were rude when customers would check on status or for an ETA. Guy with the tablet kept getting annoyed with people asking him and said every time he checks it slows down the system. I seen him literally skipping my name and putting other people ahead of me who were further down the list and arrived way after me. I had to ask him again and let him know I want to make sure I’m not being skipped he said I was next don’t worry he won’t forget. The music was so loud outside could barely hear the hosts calling peoples names. If I hadn’t been standing right by the host check in table I wouldn’t have noticed guy with the tablet told the host my name and pointed to a whole different group of girls. I had to go follow after her and let her know it was me! I waited 50 minutes after my reservation to finally be seated. Service was slow and also an issue. Prices were inflated almost $100 for a 10 oz steak is a bit much but maybe if the steak was cooked properly. My server kept forgetting to bring us bread. We ordered a tomahawk steak $175 and it came out COLD and was still raw. I had to send it back. Meanwhile we sat there and ate the sides. When he brought it back it was barely any different. At that point I was just over it and wanted to go. No apologies either. Who ever they had cooking the steaks in the kitchen needs to be on another station in the kitchen.

    Lindo el lugar, la comida muy rica con buen ambiente y buen servicio, estuvimos afuera y los calentadores eran suficientes, no sentimos frío para nada.
