The ambiance of STK is elegant, sexy and fun! Sounds like a great date, right? Actually, STK would be a great place for a date or for a group of friends out on the town.
Los Angeles’ STK Chef Liberato recently and seamlessly joined the STK team, and it’s easy to see why. Beyond being an accomplished chef, he has an easy personable presence, seems grounded and at the same time has an uplifting energy about him. He sort of just embodies the vibe at STK. To his liking, the direction of the STK menu maintains a consistency (it is a steak house, mind you – albeit with a hip twist) and yet also gives him room to experiment as a culinary artist. So the selections are always creative, obtainable and devine.
Kick it in the bar to listen to the tunes of their DJ, even get amped up on Friday and Saturday nights with STK’s staged dancers. Or, indulge in their posh main dining area. The clean lines, open flowing space, abundant windows, beautiful lighting, hip and celebrity clientele, and of course the great cuisine will set the stage for a fantastic night!
While chatting with Chef Liberato, he mused about the noshing trajectory of each evening, saying that he can tell the time of night just by what is being created in the kitchen. Evenings usually start out with lighter appetizers and their array of lovely fish dishes. As the evenings progress the dishes get more substantial, accruing late in the evening with plentiful hearty, tender cuts of steak. But, anytime is a fabulous time for STK’s Mac & Cheese dishes. With healthy bouts of lobster, this summer’s signature Lobster Mac & Cheese is both timely and tantalizing. We all know that summer time whets our appetite for lobster rolls. And, when do you ever want to deny the ultimate comfort dish of Mac & Cheese, especially when it’s doused with Asiago, Cheddar and Parmesan? Never. Combine that with hearty chunks of juicy lobster, overflowing pasta, and fire it all up in a cast-iron skillet to perfection, and you have a dish that is simply undeniable.
So, consider yourself in the know! This Lobster Mac & Cheese is only available by request at STK locations nationally (NY, DC, ATL, LA, Vegas) for $35-$48. Right now Chef Liberato is also offering a sumptuous Truffle Mac & Cheese in LA, inspired by an unexpected delivery of the rare savory morsels, that totally melts in your mouth. Order the combination of the two, and you’ll be ultra satisfied.
