STK - ME London (Aldwych)

• Has done well exporting its successful brand name from the US to London typical modern / trendy steak house with low lights
• Most places like this are good atmosphere
• The service was attentive and friendly
• Could tell the atmosphere was building to develop into a bit of a party later on
• The decor is beautiful and upon arrival there is a wonderful buzz
• The wagyu beef is succulent and the special sauce is very "
• I had the small new york strip which was the perfect size for a woman like me
• Dessert I had the mini ice cream cones which were presented in a quirky sherbet filled glass dish
• I'm not in a rush to return to STK but the food was very enjoyable and reasonably priced
• The decor lighting and ambience are very glitzy and it feels like a special occasion the minute you get in
• Felt like a real party atmosphere and music is wonderful all 80s stuff
• Tagline and time in your company is glitzy and megafun
• The restaurant clientele are spruced up couples
• City slicker crews and wealthy groups of friends who enjoy good food but are secretly relieved that the music drowns out the company
• The entrance bar is propped up with horny bankers and airbrushed girls
• The hook here is that the steaks come in petite lady portions
• The smaller steaks are a much better date option for both genders
• It also means that a side of lobster mac with your main will only look a tiny bit gluttonous
• Accompany the steak with a peppercorn sauce and maybe even top with some foie gras
• Dispel all awkwardness by making your date giggle in the first ten minutes with a observation about the hostess&rsquo
• It also allows you to oogle the theater of the restaurant and marvel at the shamelessness of men with fat wallets
• Firstly there are bars throughout
• The hotel is also adjacent to the recently restored Marconi House that was the former home of the BBC and where their first radio broadcast took place in 1922
• The entire hotel is spectacular
• Reaching up into a sharp point with an odd but wondrous projection of jellyfish onto the walls
• Behind every door is the unexpected
• The Italian restaurant Cucina Asellina which we peeped in at is bathed in amber lighting
• The ambience and setting of this restaurant is wonderful and if you're willing to pay a bit extra the steak rivals any other this part of town
• 6 for the 325g fillet cut will probably be one of the best steaks you'll ever enjoy
• The macaroni and cheese is a brilliant compliment to the steak as are the Parmesan truffle chips
• The atmosphere is like a night club so for a night out with plenty of excitement and energy it's one of my top recommendations in London
• I love the 'flower pot' bread at STK it's a little like a brioche served with a herb oil
• Shrimp Rice Krispies were big fat prawns sat on top of Snap
• A tuna tataki was actually quite disappointing and the flavour was bland compared to the delicious tuna tartar we'd enjoyed earlier at Oblix
• The star starter was without a doubt the lil' burgers
• Though the fish was well cooked
• I guess many places are in this selfie obsessed world
• Or a casual dinner with your parents
• I went there with my friends while one of them was visiting from Paris and we had a memorable night
• My favorite combination is the 320g Fillet with a Bé
• I think the place is over rated
• Wrong sauces were given to us
• The main problem was the music was too loud and the waiter couldn't hear us
• I left unsatisfied and with a sore throat
• A pre drink before a night out and purely just eating the steak with no sides come and pay a visit
• The quality of food was very good but there was a lot of noise and it was very difficult to have a smooth conversation
• The food was an absolute delight though it was quite expensive and I am pretty sure that I won't come back
• The food at STK - ME London (Aldwych) was pretty decent but the thing that put us off was the horrible service which was extremely slow and uncaring
• The delay between the two courses lasted about an hour and the food even then was served cold
• This service is not expected on an off season weekday and the staff was not cordial at all
• The attitude was rude and even the manager started to blame us for the lapse
• The ambiance is funky and the place is nicely done
• This seems like a perfect place for special occasions with family and friends
• The interiors are really unusual and the seating arrangement pretty grand
• The service in my opinion was just perfect
• The music there is exciting as well
• The beef served here is tasty but does not do wonders for me
• Though associated with brilliance
• I must mention that I am not really a fan of the wagyu beef that the rest of the city is fascinated with
• Though the STK is in the ground floor surrounded by awful Me hotel
• The dining room is very beautifully decorated
• The service is average and the food that they claim to specialize in is average as well
• The food tasted horrible and must say it was very salty
• The staff was rude and the service was extremely bad
• The meat was also of very poor quality and it was quite difficult to chew it
• The prices that they charged were exorbitant and I certainly expected more from this restaurant
• I recently tried STK - ME London (Aldwych) and was a little disappointed with it
• The food was pretty good especially the steak which was cooked to perfection
• The service was pretty friendly
• The only thing which was quite disappointing was the ambience
• The service is impeccable and the ambiance is awesome
• The cocktails are superbly made and the decor consists of dim lighting and cozy
• This is a chain of restaurants that is known all over the world
• The ambiance is perfect for a meal
• They probably have the best service in town
• Is a disappointment and the sole dish we liked were the black truffle sliders
• Other dishes we had ordered were only average at best
• We had a nice time but the food was not worth the money we paid
• The food was exceptionally delicious and the meal was elevated by some very courteous service and a really enticing atmosphere
• I am definitely coming back again with friends and family
• I visited STK - ME London (Aldwych) with a group of friends on a Thursday evening and was disappointed with the fact that STK - ME London (Aldwych) is very dull
• You would not feel that you have come out to just chill with your friends
• To add to my disappointment was the food which was pretty much average for the kind of price that was being charged for it
• The food was outstanding and was absolutely delightful
• All the dishes were well presented and well cooked
• The service is good and the staff is friendly and hospitable
• The ambiance was elegantly calm
• The people visiting this restaurant were of an age group ranging from 25 to 50 years of age
• The service was exceptionally good
• Only discomfort was the height of the tables and chairs
• The music played here is too loud if you are seated near the speaker's
• The food served is delicious with an extensive list of wine
• We got a table which was very well situated
• The bar area is quite spacious and was bustling with people all night long
• The service was also incredibly good and quite consistent
• Their portion sizes are quite small though
• It doesn't matter if it is a starter or a main course meal
• Making it impossible to converse with the employees
• The washrooms are located further from the restaurant
• The music was extremely loud and the place is not appropriate for conversation
• The food was average with a few hits and misses
• The staff member who was serving us was extremely hospitable and kind though
• We went to STK - ME London (Aldwych) on weekend and the restaurant was getting full with people as the time was passing by
• The steak that i ordered was good but did not justify the price that i paid for it
• They staff was not courteous and I did not appreciate the way he spoke to me
• One problem was that at times the music can be a bit louder than most places
• They where brilliant nothing was too much trouble
• STK concept brings a modern steakhouse with a comfy black and white elegant chic lounge area
• Melted molten cheese pressed into a sesame bun with black and white seeds
• Tangy mayonnaise diffused with truffle oil
• The star deal menu has 150g USDA feather steak served with grilled prawns and their special STK steak sauce
• I was in love with the STK sauce each bit of steak and prawns I simply covered it all over
• The food and atmosphere STK provide is okay however
• The lamb at stk is delightful
• The truffle chips had me sold everything about stk is beautiful the restaurant itself is lovely and it's great for dinner with my other half or a nice brunch with my girl friends
• I popped down to their last blogger evening with some foodie friends for a cocktail masterclass and a steak step by step chef experience
• I stepped in with a jolly "
• So I didn't get to see too much of what was going on elsewhere (if anything
• Twitter informs me that Pixie Lott was there the evening before us
• The one reason you should dine at STK is most definitely the food
• We kicked off our meal with STK's signature bread with blue cheese butter and chive oil
• The abundance of blue cheese slathered on top of the bread could have been a dealbreaker (I wouldn't eat blue cheese if it was the last food on earth)
• One of the waiters kindly offered to bring out some plain bread as soon as he noticed a few of us were feeling uneasy about it
• My starter was tuna tartare
• More than half of the tuna was left after I wolfed down the one slice I was served
• Like a kid who's been told he can only fill a large cup with one carefully weighed scoop of ice cream
• As it was the case with most of the other dishes I've had
• The party menu we were ordering from had options to suit all tastes (from memory
• Wasn't sold with any of the choices on the party menu (Rocky Road
• Salted caramel with crushed sesame biscuits
• A perfect example of how combining a bunch of flavourful ingredients can lead to a messy dish with no distinctive notes
• Should I mix it with the chocolate
• A very heady cocktail later and I was in the mood
• While my dodgy trimmed cuts of meat were being cooked on the grill
• The sirloin steak was a spectacular showcase
• On comparison we tried the wagyu beef which was in another league of its own &ndash
• Perhaps a little luminous with my ambitious amounts of orange bitters
• We made our way up to the decadent private dining room (which was great) and food quickly began to appear
• Some bread was first out and arrived slathered in blue cheese and a herby sauce for dipping
• A starter of tuna sashimi was almost great
• BRGs however were stunning little beauties
• Two gorgeous patties were made up from wagyu beef
• They were one of the highlights to the meal and have only left me with intrigue to their full burger offering
• Cooked to our requested medium rare this was actually the least favourite steak we ate here at STK
• S just its flavour was lacking a little compared to those we just ate
• If meaty flavour and fat is what you&rsquo
• Accompanying sides were a bit of a mixed bag
• Dishes such as the pak choi was perfectly fine but felt lost on the menu here and didn&rsquo
• Parmesan truffle chips were well cooked and decadent &ndash
• The side of home made slaw was disappointingly bland
• The star side of the evening was the mouth wateringly good mac &lsquo
• A dangerously hot cast iron pan containing a few thousand calories and was as luxurious as you could only hope for &ndash
• Sarah Barber oversees everything sweet here at the ME hotel (for which STK is housed in) and is extremely talented (I&rsquo
• Not only does she often produce some stunning desserts with the help of her team
• Each is given a twist and comes with both creativity and a bit of fun
• Admittedly there was a bit of delay with desserts coming up to the table
• S take on a snickers was devilishly nutty and the favourite amongst us
• The Lego lemon meringue pie with lemon curd and sherbet was a solid offering and the perfect way to the end the meal
• You may (or may not) have noticed that STK is predominately advertised towards women
• Rounded off with that Snickers
• When first opened there was a lot of hype about it but that is over now
• In the evenings there is a Dj mixing it up
• Gaucho is still the best steak place in London
• Having visited the STK MIDTOWN NYC we were excited to have the same amazing experience in London
• The decor and atmosphere is pretty similar as the whole concept is transferred exactly across the world
• There was one big problem with the visit and that was the fish
• This wouldn't be an issue if it was a thick centre piece of bass like you expect in a restaurant where you can spend £
• It's a tiny and thin fillet which because of the frying was so overcooked
• Other food and service was good and very expensive
• Clearly both my theatre going and gig going are noticeable to the bots
• I often go out straight from work and with an hours journey from the West End to home there is always a need to find somewhere to eat pre theatre
• Table reserved for 9.30pm my cousin was there at 9.15pm and the hostess went up to her at dot 9.30pm and said that if the whole party isn't here in 10 15 minutes we are giving your table up
• Fine we sat down and ordered straight away as everyone was starving by this time
• A number of times we had to ask why the stuff we had ordered was taking so long every drink we ordered I had to ask about as it took them 15 minutes to bring over
• Please keep in mind it is getting later and later the restaurant is starting to empty out and it's not longer as busy as it was when we arrived
• Between Starter and Mains there was such a gap that we had to again ask how long it would take which one waiter snapped at us saying it's not in his hands (not a way to talk to customers)
• In a restaurant like that with those kind of prices and service charges I expect the waiter to know what he's doing
• We finished our dinner and it's now 11.55pm and I'm rather upset now because they hadn't brought out the cake and in my culture it is vital you blow out your candles before 12am or it's bad luck
• My friend asked for the cake and told them to hurry up the cake comes out 12.10am with no knife or plates forks NOTHING
• Even reminded the hostess when I arrived with the cake that yes the £
• So we decided as a group the service was horrific so we wouldn't be paying Service Charge and that we wouldn't be paying the £
• 5 per person for the cake as we couldn't enjoy it and was rushing the whole thing couldn't take picture etc as we were the last table and it was clear wanted us out
• 35 but it was the principle for us and I doubt that STK is in dire need of the £
• The part that was the icing on the cake was he turned around in the rudest patronising tone and says "
• Who he thought he was talking to was beyond me
• What a shame this was our experience as my friends and I are always out for dinner but we definitely will not be returning here
• Their 'we don't really care about your business as we make money anyways' attitude is what really done it for me
• I'm just going to let you get on with reading it instead
• The cheeseburgers for start are really good and they have really yummy deserts
• I went to STK on a Saturday evening for my cousins birthday and as you can imagine it was quite busy
• Upon arrival we were 15 minutes late
• This for me was a good start
• The music is very loud as are other guests
• Even if you are dead against breathing the same air as 'b listers'
• I went for a la carte with a just an order of steak with peppercorn sauce and a side of lobster mac and cheese
• Sam Vanilla went for the pre theatre which is a decent price with good dishes on it
• As a starter there was cured salmon on seeded levash bread with beetroot
• Mains it was Santa Maria tri trip with fries and a stuffed portobello mushroom to boot
• As dessert was part of the set menu
• Overall it was a good experience
• First thing to mention is that if you&rsquo
• Re looking for a quiet place to sit down and eat this is not the place lol
• From the second you enter through the glass doors there is music blasting right into your ears and after you have the full view of the restaurant you see people dancing on their chairs
• Yes this behaviour is allowed and acceptable in the restaurant
• I had a simple Macaroni Cheese and Fries with a small pot of BBQ Sauce
• There was not much choice on the drinks menu I found and seeing the bar with the amount of drinks that were behind the counter it was a little weird
• Missing our table by about 2 hours we were still seated
• T think I will visit here again but it is an experience I will not forget
• To which they responded saying this is no longer available
• It is worth mentioning that I visit every year for my birthday not because the food is particularly good but actually because there is a good atmosphere
• I dread to think what the in house service is like if this is what you get when trying to book and I certainly wouldn&rsquo
• Juicy tender meat in all the burgers as well as the sweet variety also is very good at STK - ME London (Aldwych)
