STK

Posted 23 March 2010 Los Angeles

STK has become synonymous with sexy. It is the most fashionable steakhouse experience that you will find in LA and many celebrities will vouch for it. The grand entrance is an archway covered in ivy and once you step inside the door, you will see the main bar and dining rooms.

Kim Kardashian, David Spade, Sean Penn and Paula Abdul have all been spotted here. The restaurant, which is strategically located across the street from Koi, has become the new hotspot, the place to be seen. It isn’t surprising to see herds of paparazzi waiting in front of the venue.

Staggering spherical lights hang from high ceilings which create a pleasing visual effect. The main dining room is black and white. Purple orchids in the middle of the room give it a hint of color.

Big Eye Tuna: spice rub, avocado, garden vegetables

Bull horns cover the back wall of the main dining room while a mix of modern and Western music play in the background. Snakeskin menus and comfortable leather seating add to the glitz and glamour of this trendy Beverly Hills scene.

We started with the spicy tuna tartare and watermelon hamachi. The Hamachi is a refreshing mix of hamachi with a crunch of ginger and cilantro. It is the perfect dish to cleanse the palette. The tuna was mixed with peaches, yuzu aioli sauce and crisp won tons.

Steaks come in all different cuts and sizes. Since I was hungry, the plan was to order the whopping 34 oz cowboy rib-eye, but instead I went with the 20 oz bone-in ribeye. Each steak has an option of toppings and side dishes. I would highly recommend a opping of crab and a side of parmesan truffle fries. These fries are to die for—they melt in your mouth with perfect texture and taste sensations.

Of course the steak was savory and amazing. I ordered mine medium rare for ultimate taste and flavor.
