I had an amazing experience at STK! From start to finish, everything was top-tier—the ambiance, the food, and the service were exceptional. A special thanks to Crystal, Derrick, and Jonah for going above and beyond to make the night truly unforgettable. Their attentiveness and professionalism added to the overall experience. Can’t wait to come back again!
