Food is delicious. Staff was exceptional. Friendly and very attentive. Lovely atmosphere

Juliana was amazing!!! Loved the conversation, the food was great, and the drinks were 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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

STK Steakhouse - Cheesesteak Egg Roll - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

STK Steakhouse - Castaway - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

STK Steakhouse - 6 Oysters on a Half Shell* and Jalapeño Pickled Shrimp Cocktail - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

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! read more

I appreciate the kitchen here is open late night. I tried the potatoes gratin (huge portion) , cheesesteak eggs, crabcake, and sirloin. Everything was really good and steak was good perfectly. The atmosphere is nice and clean and the music is loud but not obnoxious. read more

Happy hour here is such a vibe. First of all, it's hard to even find a happy hour in DC these days that's halfway decent and much less one that starts at 2:30 and is literally every day! I've been to this STK several times before but I came recently and was reminded of how great it is here. Yesterday I met up with some friends and everyone was really impressed with the happy hour deals and the service provided by the entire staff, but in particularly Dione and Brandon. Kudos to them! My favorite drink was "Dragon's flare" and my favorite apps were the wagyu meatballs and short rib quesadilla. I'll be back sooner than later! read more

Service is great, but overall experience is definitely overhyped when you can eat somewhere with similar foods/price with much better tasting for all things vs just one. We were promptly seated for our reservation, though there is a lot of emphasis on mandatory steps in order to dine there. No ordering entrees until everybody in the party is seated and no complimentary bread until entrees are ordered. Bread was okay, nothing addictive about it like most places with complimentary bread. My lamb chops were all well done instead of medium well and the mashed were good, but not for $21. Paying for a half scoop of butter that barely enhances the meal is questionable. I did enjoy the unchained passion drink -- very sweet! Our waiter, Dylan, was attentive and was good at giving descriptions and recommendations. I enjoyed the DJ + music not being too loud for conversation. read more

After dining here with a friend, we both decided that it exceeded expectations for a restaurant inside a hotel. Walk inside the grand Marriott Marquis and go left. A neon sign directs you deep into a dimly-lit, but glowing restaurant with all the gimmicks from red bull statues to more neon lights. To feed two of us, we got the lobster mac and cheese, spring rolls, steak, asparagus, bread, shrimp scampi, butter cake, and more. What stood out are the steak with the wagyu butter, lobster mac and cheese, and the fun cloud butter cake. It comes out engulfed in cotton candy that the server lights on fire revealing the cake. The cocktail list is large with standard cocktails and more creative. They have something for all people from savory to sweet. Our server Dylan was excellent! All of his recommendations were spot on! read more

My good girlfriend decided to have her birthday dinner here. I've been to the DC location for the first time recently and had a great experience, so I was excited to go again. My first time ever visiting STK was the LA location back in 2021... I say all of this to say, I've been on their mailing list for quite a while; whether it was from 2021 or my recent visit in February 2026. My friend's dinner was set for April 3, and ironically, I received an email from STK the morning of offering a free appetizer with the purchase of an entree. I showed the server the email (which it instructs me to) to verify that the appetizer would be honored- he said yes. I also verified that their seasonal menu that included a crab fondue appetizer would be honored- he said yes. So I ordered the crab fondue. I also ordered a filet, cooked medium. The fondue was a 6/10, but I wasn't bothered since it would later be comped. My steak came out well done, which was saddening. I did not want to cause a scene at my friend's celebration so I kept quiet. When it came time to check out, I notice the fondue was on the bill. I alerted the server who admitted to forgetting to remove it, and he mentioned he had to go show his boss. He returned saying they could not honor the email I received due to the offer expiring (mind you, I received this email the morning of dinner). It's not the cost that disappointed me, but the principle. I would not have ordered the crab fondue appetizer that I really only ordered because it was a new item. Otherwise, the restaurant was nice, classy, not too loud. The drinks were excellent and the bread was LOVELY! There didn't seem to be a dress code. The server was. Sweetheart, although the incident with not honoring their promise and the overcooked steak left a major smear on my experience. It was not about me last night though, and my friend really enjoyed her birthday dinner :) read more

Heyyyyyy!! We came on Veteran's Day to take advantage of the deal, and our friend wanted to try it. I have never been. Eric was our server and he was great! We were NOT in a rush and the place was busy! We packed our patience and honestly, anything we were looking for came right on time. See the pics for what we ordered. Everything was seasoned perfectly with no need for adjustments. I think the ONLY thing I was a little disappointed in was the size of the appetizers. Otherwise, I finished my main dish (IYKYK!). I could not finish my creamed spinach. We lounged at the table and ordered more drinks, no one gave us long eyes! We enjoyed it! Oh the wine was moscato, the cocktail ordered was the guava berry. MAKE A RESY or you may not get in. It's a busy spot! There is bar seating but happy hour is popular so you might not get in. Also, remember the restaurant is in the same building as the Marriott. If you can, use the Marriott valet. read more

Whenever I'm in town, I usually stay at the Marriott Marquis next door, which makes STK DC the perfect (and dangerously convenient) happy hour spot. The layout is sleek and open, with just the right mix of energy and comfort, perfect whether you're catching up with friends, winding down after meetings, or flying solo at the bar. The drinks are always on point, especially that watermelon margarita. Seriously, it goes hard. The happy hour menu has a great variety of affordable bites, and everything I've tried has been solid. My personal favorites? The steak frites and the tacos are flavorful, filling, and perfectly portioned for the price. Between the vibes, value, and location, STK DC is always a win. Great food, great service, great energy. It's my go-to whenever I'm downtown. read more

STK Steakhouse - Happy Hour menu - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Unfortunately, not impressed with this location. Having been to a handful of other STK locations I know the quality and service that is expected. This location is inside the Marriott Marquis and convention center. I came on my own after a meeting but for some odd reason I was sat at a huge table rather than a 2 top, talk about awkward. I asked to be moved which oddly seemed like a massive ask as the host has to be found which no one could. My food came out before I was moved which was frustrating because now it's getting cold. I order the side bread service which four small slices of rock hard toast came out that I can best described as large croutons. I order these items from the happy hour menu: The Wagyu tacos were delicious, but are about 2 inches big and the small slider is also good. Truffle fries are also very delicious but you get like 15 fries. Great flavor all but VERY light on portion. I forgot I ordered an old-fashioned drink and got through most my food until it finally came. Finally I had the baby Cesar salad which is on the starter side of the menu along with the croutons.....I mean bread. Cesar came with too much parmesan cheese, was very soggy and had frozen lettuce in the middle confirming this very well could have been made the day before. This "high end" location has some work to do in the area of paying attention to the details. read more

So this was my second time going to this location. We were seated shortly after we arrived. Our waitress a was great and attentive. I appreciated the fact that you can order from the happy hour menu even at a table. We ordered a few drinks and appetizers from the happy hour menu. The meatballs was just okay. Definitely could have used some more seasoning. Someone got the jalapeños shrimp cocktail and she said you barely taste the jalapenos. I did the oysters so they were fine. For our main course me and my Fiance shared the 28oz porterhouse with Brussels and mashed potatoes. The steak was good. Could have came out warmer and a little bit more seasoning. We both had to use the sauce and for those that eat steaks know that a great steak don't need sauce. My friend got the lamb chops that she had to send back twice. So she ended up bringing it home. She also had the corn pudding that she had to send back because it was cold. We are not the ones who send food back but when you are expecting your food to be at the right temperature you have to. I can't say I will go back for dinner. Maybe HH. read more

The meatballs were a little too mushy, they were not firm. The sauce was great. Not pictured*** The Short rib quesadilla it was good just a little greasy. I had a glass of cabernet from the happy hour menu but it ended up not being a happy hour price. read more

Decor is nice, kinda like an upscale sports bar when looking at the bar area then there's general dining and rooms to host larger parties. Service was super slow even sitting at the bar. It's was 3 of us taking a much needed break from the volleyball tournament. Only one our drink orders was taken she finished her drink by the time we got our order placed. Didn't order any food but from the looks of things the food looked tasty and well presented. It's pricy one espresso martini came out to be $30 so just be mindful. I would go back for a full dining experience. 3.7 stars if I had a sliding scale read more

My husband took me on a special date night to try out the STK restaurant. This beautiful resturant is in the Marriott hotel! Once walking into the restaurant, you're immediately greeted by the hostess stand where you will check-in for your reservation. Someone will escort you into the heart of the place where the ambiance is ready for a wonderful date night or outing with friends. Table is set with small candle the waiter will light once you arrive. The bread provided was soft and absolutely amazing! Our starter appetizer was the ceviche! It was made to perfection and we ate every bite. I ordered the lamb chops which were flavored very well and my husband had the shrimp scampi! The shrimp were jumbo and we both took home left overs since they were large plates. Definitely recommend STK for a wonderful date night experience! read more

We have an STK at home and it's great so decided to go to the STK at the Marriott in Washington DC since it was conveniently located in the conference hotel. Service: Big mistake, first it was not busy but was still difficult to get waited on. We finally flagged someone down when two other tables who came AFTER us had already ordered. He was nice and offered to take our order. Food: Ordered the ribeye and sides which is what we order at our home STK. Big mistake, it turned out to be a tough pan fried sirloin steak. Rubbery, dry and terribly tasteless unlike the large, thick juicy portion we have at home. Not worth the $90 they charged. We went to Joe's for another dinner night and their ribeye was totally what we expected. It was worth the walk to that restaurant. So on another night, we decided to give STK another chance. Ordered the Mushroom & Truffle Tagliatelle pasta which was $63. Did not think you could screw up pasta but what we were served was a dish of Alfredo pasta. The type of pasta was not what was described (minor point), no mushrooms, no truffles or truffle taste at all you could get for much cheaper at Olive Garden. Ambiance: Since both nights were slow, the ambiance was nice except for lots of noise in the bar area which is expected. Agree with other negative reviews' descriptions which I normally leave wiggle room because it could have been bad nights for them but both times were bad so not a coincidence. I suspect good reviews are from the Bar customers. I really feel ripped off but it's done and we totally enjoyed Washington DC. Other food places were great. Note that this is the first critical review I've ever left on Yelp, this is how upset I am about the experience at this STK location. read more

Good service, mediocre food, unreasonably high prices. Several tables complained their steak was undercooked. If you can't cook steak at a steak house something's wrong. Edited to add, business owner asked me to reach out, but, we never heard back. Not worth the money or time. read more

I've visited STK on a couple of occasions. Once for dinner and more recently for happy hour. I'll start with my review for dinner. STK has delicious steaks and great sides that really exceeded my expectations. I enjoy the wide variety of sauces and butters on the menu. They really add a little extra flavor that makes the already great steaks even more enjoyable. I give the dinner here a solid 5. I enjoyed the happy hour here as well. It was a great vibe; the music was great and the atmosphere was fun. I went on a Friday night, and the place was very busy. We were placed on a wait for about 20 minutes before we were able to be seated. I would recommend a reservation if planning to visit especially on a Friday evening. The happy hour menu has a large selection. However, the portion sizes are very small. It's designed for you to order a little of everything. We ordered around 10 items. I felt the happy hour food was fine, especially considering the low price point. The tastiest item on the HH menu was the STK* & Frites. Overall, I would rate the happy hour a 4. The value is good, but the quality of the HH food was really just okay. I would characterize STK as the fun steak house. Definitely worth a visit. read more

All I can say about STK is, wow! My wife and I were absolutely blown away by not only the food but the service was second to none. The manager Brian and his team made our visit. From the warm welcome you get when you walk through the door from the hostess, to the incredible 16 oz ribeye, I can't praise them enough. The atmosphere is nothing but welcoming. And if you check them out, you MUST get the cloud desert! It makes for an incredible one of a kind experience. They are our go to steakhouse in DC. I can't recommend them enough, and can't wait to go back. read more

Happy hour menu is fantastic. We enjoyed the fried calamari and the beef tartare. The wine on happy hour is very good as well. We enjoyed the Bonanza Cab. We loved our server, but missed her name. She was wonderful and truly made our experience. The minus one star is due to our interaction with the hostesses. I irritated that we were there for a happy hour.

You absolutely could not fault the food which was excellent and indeed the quality of service at this place. Simply amazing. Expect however, to pay top dollar, 21 bucks for a bowl of side is not for the faint hearted . Of course, the very fabric of the place warrants that it is extremely noisy and not for the faint hearted. Should you want a quiet dinner for two.

First time trying outside of California. Met a coworker in town for a dinner meeting. Located at the Marriott Marquis hotel, stopped in on a Friday evening, it was crowded but not packed. Lively, music and purple hue lighting. I usually order steak at a steakhouse but it was late so decided to go lighter. Our Waitstaff was awesome and provided recommendations. I ordered the sea bass with cream spinach and brussel sprouts to share. The fish is amazing, slight crunch on the outside and flakey on the inside. For dessert we ordered The Cloud, the presentation was very cool and it was tastier than expected. read more
