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

The food was pretty good. The service was speedy. The steak and frites were pretty good. The steak comes medium but it was a little tough for me. The fries were cold but tasted good... no one really likes cold fries. The crab and corn fritter was amazing!! Crispy and seasoned perfectly. 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

In the Marriott marquis hotel-DC We sat indoors Apparently had lunch specials We all got the burgers and fries We would come by again 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

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

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

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

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

I was craving butter cake and found that they now have butter cake on the menu!!! We came here and I was ecstatic. It tasted so good and we ate every last bit.

Ricardo, Jonathan, and Dion were absolutely amazing. Would come here again any day of the week. Delicious drinks and tasty food.

America's Bartender, Dion, was fantastic! Thank you. Great cocktails and amazing service.

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

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

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

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. Made it like it was a inconvenient for us to be sat. Mahalo to our server again for making our experience overall and excellent time. read more

Food was great, but the portion sizes were surprisingly small relative to the price. For what you pay, the value is difficult to justify. read more

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. Made even worse simply because we had somebody who wanted to have themselves heard and was loud hinging on obnoxious. We'd go again but... read more

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

I had a disappointing experience at STK Steakhouse for brunch. The food was not up to par at all. The steak was overcooked, and many of the items were burnt. For a steakhouse, I expected a lot more attention to detail when it came to cooking the food properly. The only redeeming aspect of the meal was the drinks. they were the highlight of the experience, but honestly, that's not enough to make up for the poor quality of the food. The entire brunch felt extremely overpriced for the underwhelming quality. I would not return, especially considering how many other great brunch spots are available. Definitely not worth the money or the hype. read more

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

The ambiance is quaint and cute. The servers were pleasant. The short rib was tender but very fatty. With such a small piece that reduces the portion greatly. There could have been more sauce for the neat as well. The truffle fries were a hit, crunch and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was decent, risotto was very creamy but needed more mushrooms. The bread was tasty and soft with a nice herbed butter. Some preferred a crisp top to enhance the bread. Unfortunately many of us were unable to eat what we intended since they were sold out of the two core steak options in the restaurant week menu. There was no accommodation to substitute or have a subsidized upcharge for select beef options. There are other menu items that are cheaper than the steaks that could have been options. read more

It's really 3.5 star rating Atmosphere: It's in the convention center which is a nice area, a lot of people come there for certain events. The restaurant itself made me feel like I was in London or LA. It was very trendy, pop of colors and plenty of seating. The only issue is the bathroom being across the convention center from the restaurant so I recommend going before your reservation. Service: Our waiter Eric was really nice, he was actually in for a treat from us girls just yapping about anything and everything. He explained the menu to us and even affected some suggestions. Apps: I always got to have a Caesar salad and they did the best one I had so far in months. It was some kind of sweetness to it and the croutons were not hard. We also got the tuna tarte and calamari. Loved them both! Food: I ordered the lobster pasta and my friend ordered the shrimp scampi. Both on large plates and were very oily at the bottom of the dish. Mine had too much garlic! I was disappointed but I ate half and the rest later since we were going out. The other girls ordered the medium fillet which to be honest they could have gotten a very large steak and spilt it. Sides: We ordered the lobster Mac n cheese which the girls immediately returned, they said it tasted like Kraft cheese and that's scary for me for some reason. The creamed spinach was really good wish they gave like some kind of chip or bread with it. The mash potatoes were good but basic nothing to ask again for. I didn't get to try the broccolini honestly thought it was too short to be broccolini. For 5 people who also got many drinks the bill ended up being $808 which is not bad but the sides and apps are literally family style so you don't need that many depending on how many people are there. If you and someone is getting the same steak just order a bigger one and spilt it. I definitely feel this place is a bit overpriced but they did not include gratuity and you have to consider the experience. Unfortunately one time visit was enough for me. If anything I would come back for the drinks. read more

Trying to think about how I want to write this review. I'm going to start by saying the general manager was nice and tried to make it better knowing they failed- admirable. So we were in town for our 57th National Convention. There was a total of 20,000+ people in the area. Recognizing this I would expect some concerns with food shortages and service to be delayed but what we experienced was just sad. We arrived for lunch around 12:30pm and was told it would be about a 30 mins wait. We were okay with that. We were finally seated then the server told us that he would come back in 20 mins to take our order bc the kitchen was backed up and he was the ONLY server working. We were shocked. The regular manager came out and when one of the ladies asked about the timeline he said "it's not our fault it's 20k ppl in town". Okay! That was rude! Moving forward we order our food around 1:40pm and waited and waited. 2:30pm still no food. I flag the general manager and he said he understood my concerns and would send some appetizers to the table. We receive a bread bowl and waited again. Shortly after happy hour starts so we start ordering drinks I mean that's the least we can do. So now the general manager send us some Caesar salad to our table. We eat that. Mind you were are starving as we haven't eaten all day. The food finally comes out around 3:15pm. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich on brioche bun with fries. What did I get a small piece of fried chicken Ina. Sesame bun with chips and it didn't have cheese or bacon on the sandwich. I flag the general manager down and ask about my food. He gave me the look like I already know. I told him as long as we waited our food isn't even right. We were shocked! He takes it to the back and brings me another sandwich. Find out they are out of the brioche bun and Fries. He comps my meal. Others had similar problems. It was 5 of us! We were done! We just ordered appetizers on happy hour and drinks and were done. Never will I come back to this STK. never had issues in vegas or San Francisco. He did the best he could but everyone in the restaurant was upset with the delays and wrong food bc they ran out of everything. read more

Wanted to check out STK's Happy Hour, as the prices were reasonable and they had a diverse menu. While I've loved the dinner there, I felt the happy hour was very blah. I had oysters that were just ok. The Wagyu Meatball was just ok as well and not hot at all. The calamari was so chewy, salty and I've never seen calamari that size. The STK and Frites weren't hot either and just ok. I think I will stick to the dinner. However, our waiter Johnny was great. Very attentive and dealt with all our questions. We went around 4pm and it was pretty quiet. read more

I'm giving STK a 10 out of 10 no hesitation. This was my first time visiting, and the ambiance alone set the tone. The place is such a vibe beautiful, stylish, and aesthetic from the moment you walk in. I ordered the Perfect Margarita, and honestly, it lived up to its name. It was a bit strong, but for $20, it was absolutely worth it just be prepared for that price tag. For food, I went with the beef short rib quesadilla, and I have zero notes. It was incredibly good. The short ribs were tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Even the fries were cooked perfectly crispy, fresh, and not stale at all. I would go back and order the exact same meal again. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience. read more

From the start our waiter was taking a long time getting to us to the point where another waiter had to help us, which he should have just been our waiter cause he did more and was quicker. I ordered the New York strip steak medium and it had no taste or season on it. This part may be normal but they probably should have asked - but they gave us 9 different sauces and all of them tasted bad and the charged $16 for it. The steak was chewy and hard to eat. My date got the lobster tail and said it was overcooked but the filet was good. I wouldn't recommend STK read more

Drove 2 hours for dinner here and what a disaster our waiter was horrible was not informative at all took forever , did not know the menu heck we ordered raw oysters he did not know anything about them , and we had not received our drinks yet " no drinks before you get your appetizer wow !!! Needless to say we left after we got our drinks and appetizer. We did tell the manager and he did apologize and comp our bill , but for a two hour drive and a ruined birthday dinner. What a shame but would not recommend this place at all read more

I love STK!!! The Ambiance is warm and inviting'! My first experiencing STK was for happy hour and my friends and had an awesome time that we decided to come back that next week for the "date night steak night special " . We had an awesome server ( Dillion), we loved him so much that made sure to have him service us during date night. Dillion was able to provide helpful food and cocktail recommendations. For happy hour we elected to try a variety of the food, from the sliders, Japanese A5 Wagyu tacos, Wagyu Meatballs, and Short Rib Quesadilla. I enjoyed the Strawberry Cobbler cocktail. I definitely recommend you try the steak night. It was a fabulous experience and the port house was cooked to perfection. read more

I went to STK last night for an intimate business dinner and enjoyed it. It was accessible for us walking, a block from the convention center and with the entrance inside the Marriott Marquis. There is a tunnel hallway between the hostess stand and the interior, which added to the dramatic effect. The decor and vibe was nice - chic with some neon. The service was very attentive. The food was pretty good, with some better than others. Highlights - 1) We all enjoyed our cocktails; I especially liked my Unbridled Passion, with tequila and real passion fruit juice. 2) The calamari came out nicely seasoned and perfectly crisp. 3) The bread for the table was better than I expected given the blue cheese butter on top, but it worked, and was warm and very soft (like a shared roll, not crusty). Done well - 1) the shared sides of mashed potatoes (creamy) and brussel sprouts (crisp). Wish it was better - 1) my steak... ordered the steakhouse skirt cooked medium, I accepted the offer of seasoned butter and learned there was a table presentation (makes sense since the butter is $12). When it came, the pat of seasoned butter was melted directly onto my steak with a spoon and a handheld flame gun. Well there goes my medium - if it ever was - the steak was over cooked. Perhaps that's not the best cut for that preparation. And the butter was extra calories for not much added flavor. Next time I'd skip the butter, and order a different cut. I'll note my dinner companions enjoyed their steaks - they had different cuts and no butter presentation...... 2) the bag o' donuts for dessert were a good serving of donut holes with 3 different dips, these were fine, but the donuts lacked any taste themselves, nothing special. Now that I've been, next time I will try their happy hour. read more

Everything went well. Lively ambiance and family/kid friendly. Located inside of the Marriott hotel so your navigation may not detect the steakhouse location. Parking is expensive (Downtown DC).
