In our quest to try out all the restaurants at the Cosmo the boyfriend and I decided to try STK for our date night last night. I had made a reservation for 8:30 but when we arrived the hostess told us it would be a few moments and to wait in the lounge. The place was busy so not a huge deal. After 15 minutes, she starts to seat us at one what was probably the worst table in the restaurant it, it literally shared a bench with the lounge not exactly what I was imagining for a cozy date night. The boyfriend and I shared a \"Help!\" look and he asked her if any other tables were available she said if we wanted to wait 25 minutes she could seat us somewhere else. And so we did, not the best start but after waiting we got a lovely little curved booth in the carpet area of the restaurant. Moral of the story: If you don't want to share your bench with the guy trying to hit on that one chick in the lounge specify where you want to sit when making a reservation.\n\nFor an appetizer I ordered the pear and endive salad, it was yummy but had far more frisee lettuce in then I was expecting for a salad that only listed endive and arugala. Not bad just surprising. The boyfriend ordered the Alaskan King Crab and it was almost orgasmically good. Three good size crab legs; definitely best part of the meal. For our main course we shared the 14 oz bone-in filet (medium rare) and a side of lobster mac and cheese and the truffle parmesean fries. The filet was cooked a perfect medium rare and looked beautiful. It was tender, melt in your mouth quality meat except for the fact it had almost no seasoning. I was so disappointed, for a steak house I expected more and it was just bland. The fries were good though, the perfect amount of truffle. Sadly the mac and cheese was just a total disappointment. The boyfriend and I are total gourmet mac and cheese fiends and order it everywhere and this was definitely our least favorite we've ever had. The cheeses used were really bland (once again, STK where's the flavor?) mozzerella and something else I think. Try Holstein's truffle lobster mac 'n cheese, downstairs at the Cosmo, it's so much better. \n\nWe hoped to have room for dessert but unfortunately after the food and a bottle of wine we were too full. Our bill was $274 before tax and tip ($100 bottle of wine) and while we were both stuffed we were somewhat less than satisfied, I don't think we'll be coming back again.
