We went for our honeymoon and it was the perfect ambience and food. What recommended to anybody who was in San Diego ago, this is me and my husband‘s spot and we love the food here. The service and staff are very friendly as well.

We had such a great experience at STK! The $49 three-course menu is an amazing deal and everything we tried was delicious. The NY strip was tender and flavorful, the maple-rubbed salmon was perfectly cooked, and the lobster mac & cheese was my favorite side. We also loved the Wagyu beef sliders, cheesesteak egg rolls, and shrimp scampi. The desserts were the perfect way to end the meal, especially the warm donuts with dipping sauces. Great atmosphere and beautiful presentation. Definitely recommend!
