A mediocre restaurant with poor service staging as a nice steakhouse slash night club.\n\nI understand lounge music while dining, but having a DJ and the volume on full blast is just way too much. When I'm at dinner, I like to be able to hear the people I'm sitting with. It's ridiculous, even shouting my mother and I couldn't hear each other. STK is a place \"to be seen,\" however it wouldn't hurt them to lean more towards restaurant and focus less on trendy. STK, are you for pregame drinking or are you for fine dining?\n\nLuckily, I suppose, we just stopped in for a snack at the lounge area. It's situated so you sort of have to be on the couch next to strangers-- but that's okay. When the cocktail came around, we ordered the hamachi sashimi and beef tartare. The food took a little while to come out, but it was busy so thats okay too. \n\nThe music I can live with but the service was really why STK is 2 star to me. The hamachi was good, nothing to rave about but still good. Instead of receiving beef tartare we were given beef carpaccio so I let the waitress know, and she rudely said \"Well you said carpaccio not tartare but did you want me to take it back?' YIKES it's not my fault you can't hear me, the music is really loud! She took it back and we were promptly delivered tuna tartare. Closer, but still wrong- we let her know and she kind of just walked away. When she came back (we hadn't touched it) she asked us if we wanted to keep it... confused if she meant keep that instead or keep that also, we just said no just the beef tartare please. Finally the beef tartare came out from an apologetic busser and it was like the hamachi, good but not the best. Everyone in the lounge seats next to us had that supposedly amazing bread that everyone keeps yelping about. Is it complementary? We never received any... was it because she found us to be difficult? I also ordered a beet salad to go. When it says that it comes with arugula, it means a few sprigs. I would call it more of a side order roasted beets.\n\nI would try STK again because I feel like I need to try some steak and that amazing \"complementary\" bread, but are they open for lunch? Because I could live without the DJ and that girls attitude.
