text: This is the place to go to if you are looking for a steakhouse that is not stuffy conservative or quiet Other places around town try to pull off the same cool kid vibe but unlike those spots STK has some great food I have heard from others how loud it can get but we dined on a Tuesday night and while it was busy the music was at a decent volume low enough that we did not have to yell at each other to have a conversation I was hoping to sit in the main dining area where they have nothing but booths but we were seated in front of the bar in a loungeytype area with mostly and topsnnThe bleu butter bread that they start you out with was warm fresh and delicious The halfdozen Kusshi oysters we had next were mild meaty and excellent The pea agnolotti had an overpowering pea taste and unfortunately not enough of the goat cheese or pistachios that accompanied it nnThe final appetizer we had was their tuna tartare Sure it is a common dish found in almost every restaurant these days but their version is very good Fresh chunks of tuna were sitting in a corn tuille which added a bit of sweetness to the dish and a crunchy texture The avocado cream under the tuille had cayenne pepper I think that added a kicknnMy wife has been eating less and less lately so we split the oz bonein filet Wow You had me at bonein droolworthy nomworthy hell it is even spongeworthy One of the most tender and amazing filets I have had We got the blue butter sauce with it but really there was no need to put anything else on the steaknnWe got a side of haricot vert or green beans as ordinary folk like me call it that was tasty and firm Not the slightest bit overcooked or soggy The portions are large so plan on sharing among three or fournnService was a bit spotty Our waiter was nice enough but he had at least six tables and was constantly running around Meaning we did not see him often We sat around for almost half an hour before ordering our food A little help for the wait staff might not be a bad ideannFor all you Top Chef fans Stephen Hopcraft formerly of Michael Minas Seablue is the executive chef But whether you are a fan of the show or not the bonein filet is reason enough to stop bynn Stars
