   I came to STK Steakhouse in Bellevue expecting an upscale dining experience, but sadly, it fell far short of my expectations. Rather than embodying the sophistication it promises, the experience felt more like a focus on vibe over substance. The evening began with a 6:30 PM reservation, and while the venue was aware of its expected guests, it seemed woefully unprepared. When I ordered the New York Strip—one of their signature steaks—I was informed it was unavailable. Disappointed but willing to adapt, I opted for the Delmonico steak, only for the waiter to return shortly after to inform me that it, too, was unavailable. Ultimately, I settled on the Bone-in Strip, which was thankfully in stock. However, the repeated unavailability of key menu items so early in the evening is inexcusable for a restaurant of this caliber. My dining companions had similarly uneven experiences. One ordered the Lobster Linguini, which was described as flavorful but marred by rubbery lobster—a clear indication of overcooking or subpar ingredient quality. Another guest chose the Fish and Chips, which was satisfactory but unremarkable, doing little to redeem the overall impression of the meal. While STK Bellevue boasts an inviting ambiance, the lack of preparation and inconsistent food quality left much to be desired. In a community where reservations are the norm, diners reasonably expect staff to plan their inventory accordingly—not to run out of multiple steak options at the start of the evening. For the price and prestige associated with STK, I anticipated a memorable meal—not one marked by frustration and disappointment. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for management to prioritize better inventory planning and maintain consistently high food standards. With so many excellent dining options in Bellevue, STK needs to raise its game to truly stand out.

   Service: I’ve been to STK in San Diego before but felt many of the staff are trying to hard and quite snobby at this location. Food: just ok…and if you order anything off the regular menu it’s ridiculously overpriced. Nearly $70 for fish and chips? The restaurant doesn’t specialize in seafood e Ambiance: The decor is nice, but the music was too loud and made me feel like we were at a club

   We have been at STK for a few times, but this time was the best. We had Valentina as our server and she was absolutely fantastic. She was attentive, professional, knew the menu very well and made very good recommendations. The service we received made our dinning experience much more special. Thanks Valentina. Well done!

   This is an excellent choice if you're looking for a combination of a very lively environment for a high end steak dinner. If a night club and a steak house had a baby, it would look like STK. It was a little bit too loud for me and it made it difficult to have a quiet conversation. But if you are looking to party with a group of other hungry revelers, this is the place. The quality of the steaks is excellent as is the execution. Many great side dishes including seafood as well. An excellent wine list. Just don't ask for a high chair. We asked for one twice and got knowing nods, but no high chair. Probably not the best place to bring an infant anyway.

   Not your average stuffy steakhouse. Felt overpriced over $60 for 3 medium sized scallops on a cheesy puree with frisee. Steak was well over $200. No sides included. Happy hour menu looked way more reasonably pried. Cocktails were the best part but also pricey. Unique vibe – youthful and fun!

   I had high expectations for this restaurant, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. For nearly $400 for three people, the quality of both the food and service was shockingly poor. My bone-in filet was poorly cooked and practically inedible—something I wouldn’t even serve to my dog. My husband ordered the short ribs and remarked that the ones he had on a Delta flight were far better than what he was served tonight. The salad was limp, the vegetables were overcooked, and the fries were vastly overrated. To make matters worse, the service was disorganized. The waitress accidentally dropped a knife on my foot, and we were served a large salad to share but had no serving utensils and were expected to use our small bread plates. Similarly, the vegetables were served with only a dinner fork, which resulted in food spilling all over the table. For the price, the entire experience felt chaotic and completely unworthy of the cost. I hope management takes feedback seriously because this was unacceptable for a restaurant at this price point.

   Rude customer service. One person from our group was late and they made us all wait until being seated. In that time we could probably buy another drink if we were at the table:) Later on, mistakes with drinks, wine arrived super late for bday person, they said they forgot etc, multiple people serving the table made it chaotic. Expensive and nothing special with food quality

    Our server Jen was amazing. We stopped in before snowflake lane with our kids, she made sure our food came out quickly, she was super attentive even though the restaurant was a zoo. If it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have made it. Thanks Jen.
