Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

Prompt service, high-quality food, kid friendly, entertaining food preparation by the chef. Will return.

We came to STK to celebrate my partners birthday, the hostess wished her which was very nice. The food was amazing, with some solid vegan options, the service was great and would def come back. No surprise it’s on the Michelin Guide The only embarrassing thing that I feel I have to mention is that we had a couple who was sitting at the table next to us also celebrating a birthday, who was wished by there server and also given a candle in there dessert, which was very thoughtful and looked forward to. After that couple left we had another couple sit down at that same table also celebrating a birthday, they were wished by there server and was given complimentary glasses of champagne. We had finished dessert at this point and my partner had not even been wished HB. Normally we wouldn’t care or expect it but to have two couples celebrating their birthday directly next to us given glasses of champagne while she wasn’t acknowledged had us leaving upset. We mentioned it to our hostess on the way out, which she apologized for and STK did reach out in Open Table offering 2 glasses of champagne very quickly to be fair but free booze wasn’t why we were upset but the apology was appreciated. Unfortunately the memory was made but hopefully won’t be our lasting impression for a restaurant that has great service and food we still plan to revisit.

I come here often with friend and coworkers, everytime is a great time!!

The perfect margarita is truly perfect! The food is excellent too.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit at the rustic. The food was fresh and delicious, the tamales are a must
