      Tuna Tartare
      Susan H.

      Last year, when we went to Benihana for my husband's birthday, he brought a copy of the email that gives a birthday discount. While we were there, the server gave us a flyer about the "Friends with Benefits" app. When we got home, he put the app on his phone. So...what does all this have to do with STK? They are owned by the same company as Benihana. Recently, I got an email saying I would get a discount on my birthday dinner. Sounds good, right? However, the app is in my husband's name. So...no discount for him or me. Most likely, when his birthday rolls around, I suspect he would get a discount. Despite all that, we decided that we wanted to give STK a try. We were there on a Saturday for an early dinner. The staff at the host stand asked if we wanted to sit in the happy hour area (aka "the bar") or the main dining room. We chose the latter and were put in the main dining area. We also noticed as customers trickled in, they, too, got seated in the same area. As for ambiance -- I guess it's a modern steakhouse. For example, a neon sign on the wall says "Dare to Be." The place gets loud, which can make conversation difficult As for our meal, our server got to our table in a timely fashion. She asked if we wanted something to drink. I got a mojito while my husband got a Heineken 0.0. It took quite a while for our drinks to arrive, which was somewhat annoying. As for the mojito, it was bitter. I think the bartender put too many limes in it. I have had much better ones. We decided to start with "Tuna Tartare," which consists of: "Hass avocados, taro chips, soy honey emulsion." This, surprisingly, had some kick to it. They gave only two taro chips, which was stingy. We did like the tuna and avocado. We ended up using our forks to eat most of it as the two chips weren't enough For my main course, my husband convinced me to splurge. I got the surf and turf, which consists of a 6 oz. filet and a lobster tail. It came with a generous amount of butter and a steak sauce similar to BBQ sauce. I didn't eat much of it. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare. The lobster tail was one of the best I've had. It was tender and moist. For a side dish, we shared Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with a Parmesan crust. My husband ordered the "Ribeye Spinalis." The steak was cooked medium rare. After looking up what that cut was (a combination of the top part of a ribeye and part of a filet mignon), it turned out to be rather disappointing: it wasn't juicy or very flavorful, and I've had more tender filets. It was served with the same barbecue-like sauce, but it didn't add much to the steak. We decided to share a dessert and got the "Bag o' donuts" - 4 donut holes plus three different dipping sauces. We found the donuts hard to eat because the fork wouldn't penetrate them well. I finally got one, dipped it in caramel sauce, and it fell on the table. The restaurant does not have restrooms; they are outside the restaurant and a bit of a hike down the main corridor of the hotel. Look up for the signs.

      Warm Garlic and Chive bread. It was delicious.

      Hey. This place was inside of the Marriott Marquis. I made reservations for two because I didn't know if they would be packed right after work. Every STK I've been to for happy hour in other cities has been packed. I made the reservation for 5:45 because I wanted to have enough time to order twice if I wanted to. #greedy. We were seated right away and given happy hour menus. I love that they automatically give you the Happy Hour menu and not force you to ask for it. I feel like some restaurants don't want you to know it's HH. Not STK!! Okay! I will start with the good. The prices for everything except the Waguy Taco are amazing. I mean, $3 for the Crab balls that had a TON of crab is mind blowing. The tater tots are so good and crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle. The Lil burger is good and they gave me more than 1 pickle on it, which is a plus! The warm garlic bread was also delicious. Now to the: could be improved. I ordered an unsweetened tea. They had no Sweet N low, which i asked for before I ordered the tea! Good thing I carry them in my purse but, coming. I don't want to use my stash. The guy bringing the food was trying to combine my stuff on the table and used his gloved hand to move my fries over. Now, I know the hand is gloved but he's touching the food tray, and all kinds of other stuff with the gloves on. Needless to say, I threw those fries away. Then, my first order of steak frites were medium well, which is cool except they for sure were prepared in advance and just sitting in the back. I didn't eat those. I ordered some fresh ones with none of the sauce and will done. Those were much better and juicer than the others. Lastly, that dog gone Wagyu Taco is embarrassing. One, one-bite Taco for $9. I do believe these used to come as a set of three before. I would have never ordered this if I knew it was ONE with one bite of meat on it. I mean, just make a regular steak taco and give the folks 3 or 4 of those for $10. Other than that, this was a good experience. 4 stars are because of the prices. I'd definitely return to happy hour at STK.

      I love a good steak, and STK did not disappoint! If you visit Sunday through Thursday, you can take advantage of their three-course meal for just $49 per person, which is an incredible deal. We started with the Wagyu sliders and shrimp cocktail, and both appetizers were absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we each ordered the New York strip steak. I added the truffle butter to mine, and let me tell you--it was so damn good! We both chose the mac and cheese as our side, and it was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the steak. To end the meal we had donuts with dipping sauces that sent me to heaven lol. The portions were generous, and I left full with leftovers to take home. The ambiance is upscale, sexy, and inviting, with great music playing throughout the restaurant. The service was excellent, and both the dining area and bathrooms were spotless. STK is located inside the hotel, so parking isn't the best, but once you're inside, it's absolutely worth it.

      Came here for restaurant week and was completely bamboozled by the pricing. The dinner was supposed to be $65 but after all the ridiculous add ons, my check was $150!! The food itself was really good but they lost a star solely for the false advertising. Additionally, the server was so incredibly annoying and pushed the lobster butter on me without telling me that the butter was an additional $12. The whole trip there i was annoyed but again, the food was good. Vibes were fine but they did have a dj coming on a Tuesday night at 8pm, which was weird to me. So just know youre gonna be spending more than expected if you go.

      Summer just got a whole lot more flavorful at STK. From the fresh and vibrant King Crab Ceviche to perfectly prepared Wagyu and Grilled Swordfish, the new summer menu is packed with mouthwatering bites. Pair it all with the refreshing Mint Condition cocktail for the perfect summer dining experience. Whether you're planning date night, happy hour, or dinner with friends, STK's new seasonal menu is one you don't want to miss.

      Beautiful decor including flower display and artwork.

      Convenient location with the Marriott hotel. This aided with ability to get a relatively quick lunch I the hotel where I stayed and that was adjacent to the Washington Convention Center. I opted for a later lunch to stagger the schedules of our team during the conference attended. The later lunch allowed for opportunity to dine from the happy hour menu which was honored from 2:30 to 6:30; an adequate time frame for late lunch or early dinner. Had previously dined at the STK in Atlanta, and found this location to have a larger footprint. It had a larger bar with many seats, and tables near the entrance and rear. Most convention participants opted for seating at the bar for quicker service. The bar staff was attentive and received service after a brief wait. Took advantage of the large happy hour offerings and ordered the burger with truffle fries, crispy calamari and tuna tartare tacos, Combined three happy hour dishes resulted in a full meal. Two would have sufficed. I listed meal selections in order of my preferences - the burger was well made and flavorful. The calamari was good and a nice portion. I was not as impressed with the tacos or truffle fries. The tuna in the tacos was tasty, but the guacamole topping did not taste authentic. I am a connoisseur of fries and love truffle oil. These were a bit off. It may have been the preparation or need for more truffle oil. Also love guacamole, preferably hand made and fresh. The guacamole on top of the tacos resembled a spread from a packet and gave the same texture and taste. A bit off putting due to having a decent tuna base. For the discounted price, I was able to sample different items and remain within my company's lunch budget amount. Still believe that convenience of location makes STK a solid choice when not able or desirable to venture outside of the hotel.

      Food was good. Service was mediocre. Filet was tender. Love how they torch butter to drip on top of the steak. If you're looking for a romantic place it looks like it would be that way until you get inside and they're blasting dance club music. I would probably not come back.

      Castaway
      Ashlee S.

      STK DC came through for Friday happy hour! A good friend and I stopped by after work, and it definitely did not disappoint. While I'm personally not a huge fan of STK for dinner, their happy hour and brunch menus are where they really shine. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartender was fantastic from start to finish. She was attentive, friendly, and took the time to ask what flavors and dishes we typically enjoy before making recommendations. Service like that always makes a difference. We started with the Castaway (a refreshing tequila cocktail) and an Old Fashioned before diving into the food. For bites, we ordered the short rib quesadilla , truffle fries , wagyu taco, tuna tartare taco , and wagyu meatballs. Everything was delicious, especially the truffle fries, which never disappoint. The short rib quesadilla was packed with flavor, and both tacos were excellent. My only critique would be the wagyu meatballs, which were good but could have used a little more seasoning. Also, $9 for a single taco feels a bit steep, even by DC standards. One of the unexpected highlights of the evening was the atmosphere. We ended up chatting with current and former employees who were hanging out at the bar. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, joking with us throughout the evening and even buying us a round of shots . Between the friendly crowd and the stellar bartending team, the experience felt much more personal than your typical chain steakhouse visit. The restaurant itself is much larger than I expected, with a spacious layout and a great-sized patio perfect for warmer weather. It's located inside a hotel where I've attended events before, but this was my first time visiting this STK location. If you're looking for a lively happy hour spot with solid cocktails, shareable bites, and great service, STK DC is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a few menu items that might make your wallet do a double take.

      We waited over 2 hours just to get our food and honestly for the price it wasn't worth it. The food isn't life changing and I personally believe you can find better at a more affordable price. You're mostly paying for the ambiance and the name brand in my opinion. I would say that our server was very nice and the music the DJ played was good. Even after the extremely long wait the manager didn't even want to give us a discount on our bill and we had to ask to be compensated and after spending $200+ the 10% compensation wasn't even worth it because everything is so expensive. People who sat down 30+ minutes after us got their food, finished, and left before we even got our entrees.

      A5 Wagyu Fried Rice
      Andrean S.

      I was really disappointed with my experience at STK. Given the reputation and pricing, I expected much better. Our party ordered the burrata, fried rice, steak frites, oysters, steak tartare, tacos, tequila cocktails, and an espresso martini. Unfortunately, the only items we actually enjoyed were the tacos, the fried rice, and the drinks. The tequila cocktails and espresso martini were excellent and were easily the highlight of the evening. The food, however, was a major letdown. The burrata seemed old, was firm instead of creamy, and was served without any bread or crackers, which made the dish feel incomplete. The steak frites arrived cold and lacked flavor. The oysters were not enjoyable, and we waited an unusually long time for cocktail sauce, only to initially receive two containers of vinegar. The steak tartare was also disappointing and not something we could finish. While the bartenders did a good job keeping drinks flowing and were pleasant throughout the evening, the food service was extremely slow. We wanted to speak with a manager about our experience, but never had the opportunity. Even getting the check and paying the bill took far longer than it should have. For a restaurant at this price point, the quality of the food and overall dining experience simply did not meet expectations. We left feeling disappointed and with no desire to return

      Came to STK to try out their happy hour. It's located inside the hotel. The service was really good and the drink that I had was good as well. Happy hour food is smaller versions of what is on the larger menu and for the most part it was good. Nice atmosphere inside and there is also outdoor seating if you prefer that.

      STK Cheeseburger & Fries*
      Latifa H.

      This restaurant is inside the Marriott Marquis right by the Mt Vernon convention center so evening time brings in a lot of post work traffic. I went there for the happy hour since small bites were between $3 and $9. The food was delicious and I loved every thing we ordered. We got the tater tots ($3), short rib quesadilla ($6) which was extremely delicious, popcorn chicken ($9), and several cheeseburgers with fries ($12). The cheeseburgers come with chips but we wanted fries which were a $3 upgrade. I would've gotten chips if our server had informed us of the surcharge for fries since we didn't eat much of it at all (they were delicious though). The cheeseburgers were very good and I'd be down to come back for just the burgers. The cocktails were also $9 and we got the mojito and the strawberry guava gin drink, both were great. The space was packed for happy hour and the vibe was upbeat. I'd come back for the happy hour anytime. Highly recommend!

      6 Oysters on a Half Shell* and Jalapeño Pickled Shrimp Cocktail
      Christina L.

      My friend and I visited the restaurant for a quick happy hour on a Thursday evening. The bar was full so we were seated at a table. The hostess was hardly enthused to assist, but the server was excellent. He and the kitchen staff were very patient as my friend navigated a newly found gluten allergy. We had to order a few drinks, as the bar wasn't prepared to serve all the beverages on the happy hour menu due to lack of ingredients. Once I was able to settle on the Cucumber Gimlet, it was great! I also ordered Oyster on the Half Shell, Jalapeño Pickled Shrimp Cocktail and friend Mac & Cheese balls (from the World Cup event menu). Everything was as expected and quick to serve. The best part was the happy hour is beyond affordable. We were shocked at the great deals during happy hour.

      North Hall is a fantastic venue that is located in the heart of D.C., only blocks away from the…read moreU.S. Capitol Building. The brick exterior coupled with the large white-walled interior provided the perfect "blank canvas" to backdrop our event. We hosted nearly 100 people and had plenty of room for a live band and bar. The reason this review earned three stars was because of venue management. An important aspect of North Hall is that they will not let you do any setup prior to the event unless you pay per hour. As an example: our event started at 5pm and we had to pay 500$ more to start setup at 3pm. The real issue arose when we were informed that we could not leave anything in a closet or kitchen in order to make the "day-of" prep easier. Management allowed absolutely nothing from entering or remaining in the space despite there being no event prior to our reception. On a positive note, the two hour setup window provided a testament to how amazing our vendors were; they created a beautiful space with no help from North Hall. The management induced plenty of undue stress by being unclear of what permits were needed for the event. They went on to remind us with little time to prepare. This issue manifested itself one week prior to our wedding day, where our wedding coordinator, my wife, and myself scrambled to get permits for food, alcohol, etc. Overall, North Hall is truly lovely, but future customers should be aware that this venue is fortified by the bureaucracy of Washington D.C. Much like your local trip to the DMV, illogical policies and the lack of regard for the individual reign supreme. Weddings are stressful and emotional, no one should have to deal with the inefficiencies of government and the shortcomings of bureaucrats on their special day.

      We had the absolute best time at our wedding reception in the North Hall. We hosted about 100…read morepeople and it was a perfect space for us. Nicole and the other staff are super helpful. Such a memorable and perfect day!

We decided to stay and check it out, @1pm on a Sunday. Brunch is from 11a-4pm. There was only 1 other person for brunch, when we arrived. There was a DJ was that playing super loud music. Mostly rap music. The food was good. Fresh salad, fruit, meats etc. Unlimited mimosas was $25 per person. We could only order 1 flavor at a time, which there was about 8 flavors. They were good By 3pm, the place was more so filling up. What was crazy was at 4pm, the workers started breaking down the buffet-- quickly!! A group that had arrived @ 3 were caught off guard that brunch was ending. The workers did provide everyone with TAKE HOME Boxes, so we filled our boxes as fast as they were breaking it down lol Hookah guy arrived, think it was a total of $68. The hookah was good Gratuity is automatically included. Our waitress was GREAT! Only thing I didn't like, the place had her walking around in a tight leopard body suit, with her arms out, like this was the Playboy mansion. It was cold in there.

Online the place looks great and interesting so we decided to hit it up around 9pm because it doesn't close until 2am. So when we walked in the place was pitch black and the vibe was really off. We had to pay $20 a person to enter which at first I was confused because I thought this place was games, bars, music, and vibes...not at all. So we were walking around and the crowd I'll just say wasn't the type I wanted to be around. Only one bar was open and the music was weird. So we decided to leave and when I asked the person who was taking the money what was going on tonight they said an event. Now, this event was not posted anywhere on their website or social media. So I would caution going at night or call beforehand because I don't think I would want to come back because it was nothing like it is portrayed online.

They served those drinks and kept my guests with a cup in their hand all night!! What I loved most was the free will to decorate the blank palette any way I liked. You can transform this place into a nightlife scene, a baby shower, business event or holiday party. You can easily use your imagination in this place and that's exactly what I did!! If you're searching for the perfect venue for ANY event, look no further than Studio 52!!! This deserves 10 stars.

I mean who can so no once she starts batting those hypnotic eyes, then brings in her husband with the fun Cancer personality so it's hard to say no to putting down a deposit! Lol. Ok ok take my whole wallet dang! Lol. The whole process was seamless, they even went above & beyond to make sure I can fit in my mechanical bull. This was the real deciding factor! There was no way I can have a Yellowstone party without a bull. Lol. Forgive me I'm extra & I want what I want* evil grin*. The staff was super detail oriented and fun to work with for the theme. Tati the bar manager is a Rockstar with a bubbly personality. I can't thank these guys enough for making sure I had the most puuurfect Ranch experience.

I've attended multiple events here, and the space consistently accommodates a good number of guests comfortably. During my most recent visit for the Krewe of Pyros day party, I enjoyed the relaxed open space atmosphere, when the weather warms up, the outdoor bar and seating becomes the spot. While the food leans toward standard American fare, the venue often features food vendors, adding a refreshing variety based on the event. Parking in the area can be a bit challenging, but I've usually been lucky enough to find street parking, even on snowy days. One area I'd like to see improvement in is the cocktail selection; I'm a fan of well-mixed drinks and would appreciate more options beyond the basics.

The $90 brunch spread was absolutely worth it--beautiful seafood displays, cocktails, sweets, and more food than we could possibly finish. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and plentiful without sacrificing quality. One thing that really stood out was the service. One of my friends doesn't drink, and our server went out of their way to create a special Caribbean-inspired mocktail just for him so he could still feel included in the fun. Such a thoughtful touch and exactly the kind of hospitality that makes an experience memorable. The team stayed attentive throughout the entire meal, and we never had to wait for anything. Water glasses stayed full, plates were cleared quickly, and the pacing of everything felt seamless even with how busy brunch service can get. By the time we left, we were completely stuffed and happy before heading down the street to AMC for the Michael Jackson film. Great food, intentional service, and another wonderful outing in the city I love so much. Definitely a brunch spot worth revisiting.

From the moment we arrived, the place was packed with happy customers and busy staff members. Our Servers did a fantastic job at presenting our selections, clearing empty plates, and constantly refilling water glasses. I started with a Frozen Peach Bellini Margarita (Sauza blue agave tequila, peach puree, prosecco, lime juice). This drink was sooooo good! Served in a large/deep glass, it was deliciously sweet, and the multiple brain freezes were enjoyed. The entrees were all served family style: Caesar Salad, Chicken Parm with spaghetti, and Tiger Shrimp with pasta. They also served a sourdough bread with melted cheese that was soft, slightly salty, and warm. I am glad to have finally dined at Carmine's and recommend it to every Washington, D.C. visitor.

      Dear Carmine's Management Team,…read more I am writing to share feedback about a recent dining experience at your Washington, DC location. My family and I chose Carmine's to celebrate a very special occasion--our daughter's first birthday--and unfortunately, the evening did not reflect the level of hospitality we expected from your restaurant. We arrived early for our reservation and were seated promptly, which we appreciated. Our initial server, a young African American gentleman named Morgan greeted us professionally at first. However, the service quickly declined. Our daughter was anxious and hungry, and as industry professionals ourselves, we know that offering bread is a simple, thoughtful gesture that can help calm a young child. I requested bread three times, and each time the server responded with a snarky tone, stating that bread would not be served until after our order was placed. His tone was dismissive and unnecessarily rude. We placed our full order with him, but he offered no suggestions, guidance, or enthusiasm--something that is central to the Carmine's dining experience. My wife and son were first‑time guests, and this was a missed opportunity to showcase your restaurant's concept. After placing our order, we waited nearly ten minutes before he entered it into the system, and during this time we still had no bread for our daughter. When bread finally arrived, our drinks did not. When I politely asked about them, he responded, "Yes you did, and they are not ready," again in a rude and deliberate tone. At this point, I requested to speak with a manager. Ms. Tynynka McIntosh came to the table, listened attentively, and reassigned us to another server named Marcos who was professional, kind, and attentive for the remainder of the meal. We appreciated her intervention. Unfortunately, the original server continued to behave inappropriately--dancing around our table, making snickering comments under his breath, and creating tension during what should have been a joyful celebration. Despite the manager's efforts, the damage was already done. Our daughter's first birthday dinner was overshadowed by poor service and unprofessional behavior. I want to emphasize that both my wife and I work in the hospitality industry--I am an Executive Chef for a major hotel, and she is a server. We understand the demands of this profession, and we also understand what good service looks like. This server's conduct did not reflect Carmine's standards and left us embarrassed for him and disappointed in the experience. While the manager did her best to salvage the evening, the overall experience was deeply affected. At this time, I do not see myself returning to the restaurant, which is unfortunate given my previous positive visits. Thank you for taking the time to review this feedback. I hope it helps reinforce the importance of proper training, awareness, and professionalism--especially when guests are celebrating meaningful milestones. Sincerely, Jeremy

What stood out the most was their seemingly endless food and drink selections, all at relatively cheap prices for DC. Most of their bites are under $10, and all cocktails are $10, even their barrel-aged ones. The restaurant itself is very elegant inside, with various paintings (and a sculpture wall) of Theodore Roosevelt. Whether it's meeting up with coworkers, friends, or a date, the aesthetics suit all occasions. Our server Nicholas was charismatic and funny from the start, even while giving us the history of the restaurant and recommendations. The Trustbuster was a smooth old fashioned. To my surprise, the short rib sliders came with french fries, and the mac and cheese was given high praise. The sliders were very well-seasoned and tender.

We hadn't packed anything particularly dressy, but we did our best to honor the dress code. Next time, I'd love to wear something a little more dazzling myself. The restaurant is stunning. The rose gold accents throughout the decor, the chandelier, the chairs, gave the whole space a soft glow. With a room this beautiful, the food had a lot to live up to. We expected small, delicate portions, and while nothing was oversized, everything was sizable enough to leave us satisfied. The presentation was lovely, and the seasoning throughout was extraordinary. The oxtail patties were rich and deeply flavorful, though the pastry felt more like an empanada than a traditional patty. That didn't bother me, but it's worth knowing if you're expecting something more classic. I ordered the grilled prawns in tomato choka beurre blanc, and they tasted like miniature lobsters. The sauce caught me off guard in the best way: smoky, decadent, and beautifully balanced. My sisters ordered the fire grilled branzino and the lamb chops, and we shared a side of collard greens. Everything was wonderful. I heard the branzino was flavorful, delicate, and satisfying, and I was especially taken with the sauces across the table. Every dish had real depth and complexity. I'd love to come back and try more of the menu. We skipped dessert this time, but next visit, I'm making room for it.

Now Nathan. Our waiter ran that dining room like a well oiled operation and I mean that with full respect. His presence alone gave my party a collective anxiety but he delivered without missing a beat. Drinks, small plates, main course, in that order and with purpose. Once we surrendered to his process the experience clicked. The food was largely impressive. Grilled octopus, beef patties, lamb, bara, branzino, brussels sprouts: all excellent!! The ribeye caught me off guard at the price point but the temperature and flavor made me briefly forget what I spent. Briefly. A couple of misses worth noting the rice leaned more risotto than the dry rice I was hoping for, tolerable but not what I wanted. And the snapper arrived as fish balls without any warning or menu indication. Breaded fish is not my preference and I would have appreciated knowing that before it landed on the table. That one stung a little. The espresso martini however was perfect and closed the night on a high note. ISLA is an intimate, sophisticated experience designed for people who appreciate intentional dining. Just maybe ask about the snapper preparation before you order.

When my salmon sandwich arrived, I found multiple bones in the fish. I'm incredibly grateful I noticed them before swallowing, because they could have caused a serious injury. This is something that should never make it to a customer's plate. The service only made matters worse. Our waitress rarely checked on our table, and we had to wave her down several times just to get basic assistance. She spent much of her time on her phone, never refilled our water, and seemed completely uninterested in helping us. What was especially upsetting was that we were the only people of color in the restaurant, and it genuinely felt like we were treated differently from other customers. I can't say for certain what the reason was, but the lack of attention, poor service, and the way we were treated left us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. I came in looking forward to a great meal based on the recommendations I had heard, but I left extremely disappointed. Between the dangerous food preparation and the poor service, I won't be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone.

They have a brunch deal of $45 for an entree and bottomless mimosas. The scramble was disappointing. It was listed as an entree but the portion was really like a side. If I didn't add the eggs it would've been extremely light. It also wasn't as flavorful. I don't see it on the menu anymore. The curried crab and squash soup was amazing. I'd get that anytime. It's packed with flavor, plenty of crab and it's a decent size. The poke nachos are solid. The steak tacos are bomb and the fried rice with chicks or salmon are also great. For drinks, the seasonal cocktails are good. I enjoyed the Figues which has bourbon, cognac, fig simple syrup and bitters.
