Mark was our server and he was great. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and made great suggestions based on our preferences. We were there to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and several staff members acknowledged the occasion. I’ve been to STK once before and it’s still by far the best steak I’ve ever had.

We went for the Thanksgiving dinner which had a special menu. We chose the prime rib and it was very good. They so had great deserts. We were glad to have such a nice place to eat Thanksgiving dinner together while traveling. Reservations were required for this dinner. We came in early to have drinks, but they were able to seat us right away. The “Bootlegger” bourbon drink was very good.

That was the best and most tender Octopus I've ever eaten in my life and I've been to 5 different countries and around 15 states so I've eaten it a few times. It was the best and a fraction of the cost of even back home in Oklahoma. In Tulsa, that meal would have ran $150 but my check was was a fraction of that. You should try it.
