Rick and I ordered the price fix menu We started with the pear, grape Gorgonzola with pine nut salad, the main was duck( cooked perfectly)with thin potatoes. The dessert was pudding like made with yogurt. Honestly, it was one of the most scrumptious meals ever. My husband even commented on how many yums were coming out of my mouth. The service was very good.

The food at STK was amazing, and the service was excellent. Although the restaurant wasn't busy, it still took a while to get our food. The mocktails were fantastic and perfect for the birthday girl, who wasn't drinking. I would definitely go back again.

We have been to all of the their restaurants. We thought the food was even better in Westwood, and a wonderful addition to Westwood. We brought home our leftovers and ate them at home the next day, still delicious.
