Beautiful views of downtown San Diego, but unfortunately that's where my accolades end... Food - we ordered a Spicy Salami Flatbread (spicy salami, tomato sauce, mozzarella) to share - and service both were just ok. I'd honestly only return if I were a hotel and/or event guest, as I don't feel it's worth a special trip. General consensus seems to agree, as the place was essentially empty during our visit on a sunny weekend afternoon. read more

This is the rooftop of the Andaz hotel. It is very spacious and includes the hotel's small pool, and a small bar area. It would be a great event space as it has wonderful views overlooking downtown, fire pits, and lots of space and seating. But the food is expensive hotel food. Tried the chorizo flatbread and it was basically a pepperoni pizza with jalapeños on it. Can't imagine any reason to come here unless you're a hotel guest or for a special event. read more

This place was very average for how long we had to wait for the food. I only came here with my boyfriend cause we were staying at the hotel downstairs and it was offering us food credit. Otherwise, I would not come here on my own will. We arrived around brunchtime on a weekend, and we were seated right away. The bad thing was, we noticed almost no one sitting around us had any food yet. We waited close to an hour before we got served our food, which is totally ridiculous, they were clearly understaffed in the kitchen. I ordered the chicken and waffles thinking it would be good based on the pictures, but the portion of the chicken was laughable. The waffle was pretty normal sized, but the chicken was so small compared to the waffle. This is the smallest piece of chicken I've ever received with this type of order. It's understandable if the dish was cheap, but the chicken was about $8 addition on top of the waffles, equating to about over $20 for the whole dish. It tasted pretty good, but I was just disappointed with how little chicken there was. Views were not bad for a rooftop but there's honestly not much to look out at since it was the downtown area full of buildings. I hope management gets better about staffing this spot properly if they expect people to come back. read more

Alright the wait was insanely long for two dishes. ~45mins. The chicken and waffles was definitely a crime. $21 for chicken and waffles and if you refer to my pictures it's not much chicken at all and the waffle isn't any bigger than your typical hotel maker waffle. The short rib hash was $29 and had more food but just basic. Servers were really nice but I would definitely blame management for the long wait and overpriced/Food quantity. Food taste: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 cold if you aren't under the heater Views: 5/5 Service: 1/5 for insanely long wait Price: 2/5 understandable it's a hotel but God dang it's high read more

Cool vibes rooftop bar and restaurant with a view. Happy hour tacos are a deal, just don't order 3 of each when they can come three to a plate or else as I saw someone ending up with tacos to feed a family of five. Tacos were good. Service was friendly at the bar or at your table or seat. I even had eggs Benny for breakfast that I recall was pretty good for a hotel restaurant. Stay for the trivia night and end up winning a gift certificate enough for a drink or more. Enjoy! read more

We hung out here for a bit while our room was being prepared. Pretty decent deal on the specialty cocktails for happy hour. Drinks were good, the chicken wrap was fresh and tasty. Fries had a great batter on them and the chipotle mayo had a nice kick. I'd definitely recommend the rooftop for some quick food/drinks if you're around. read more

Pool is nice and warm, prices are a bit high but ok, but they don't allow you to pay in cash, bro seriously? ...

Views are fantastic! The bread of the flatbread wasn't as crisp as I would've liked, but the flavors were good! My boyfriend liked the chicken sliders more, said it was crispy and that the fries were nice and crispy too! The margaritas definitely tasted like a pre made sour mix, and were definitely very strong but they sure did the job! read more

We had a phenomenal breakfast here! The rooftop views are terrific and the service was prompt and kind. I had the Banana Pancakes which were absolute perfection! They were not too sweet and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. Also, the orange juice was perfect as well. I would definitely eat here again in a heartbeat and try their other offerings. read more

I came here for a solo brunch date on a Saturday morning. There was one table available in the sun. I was asked if that was okay, and I said it was fine since it was a nice day out. As it got warmer and sunnier, the waiter moved me into the shade. Food & Drinks: I ordered the avocado toast and matcha latte for brunch. The avocado toast as pretty standard, and the eggs were poached nicely. The matcha latte was barely green though, so it was mostly milk with a hint of matcha. Service: Service was a little slow at the beginning. There may have been some miscommunication that I was seated, so it took my server a little bit of time before greeting me. It was a nice morning, so I didn't mind too much. After ordering, my food and drink came out promptly. TL;DR - lovely brunch spot. They are full service all day, so I'll need to come back to see how lunch and dinner fare. read more

I'm being generous.. the view is fabulous. The DJ on a Saturday night, awesome! The staff friendly, but the service!? Horrible. We ordered and appetizer, and when it didn't arrive 30 minutes later, it was time to leave. Go for the hangout, maybe buy a drink but don't expect much else. read more

Great food and an even better view-I highly recommend checking out The Rooftop by STK. My family and I stayed at The Andaz over the holiday weekend. As a Hyatt Globalist, breakfast is actually comped at The Rooftop for four people, which is a massive perk. Unlike most hotel fare, the breakfast here was delicious. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and crispy, the pancakes were fluffy, and the caramel macchiato kept me warm during the morning hours. If you're staying at the Andaz, this is an absolute must. And even if you're not, you should still go and check it out! read more

The STK Rooftop is absolutely one of my favorite places to have a late lunch/early dinner in the Chelsea / Meatpacking area. The food is always cooked to perfection. I typically order off the Happy Hour menu, but the next time I return I will most definitely be ordering off the regular menu. The drinks are exceptional! My favorites are the Hibiscus Sparkler and the Perfect Margarita. I love the Beef Short Rib Quesadilla and Lil' Burger with Truffle fries. The waiters are always friendly and accommodating at this location, they make me feel like a superstar each time visit. I come here often, after a long work day or a day of shopping and touring the city. I'm a regular at this location and the ambiance and scenery is always amazing! read more

We came to STK for to have a celebratory birthday dinner for my husband. We were a party of 9, who they tried to stuff into a booth initially. As soon as I asked about changing to a bigger table, we were accommodated no questions asked. Now that we're comfy in a bigger space, we started ordering drinks. Unfortunately my alcoholic beverage wasn't very alcoholic lol, however, we ended up with a free alcoholic drink since the server delivered one to the wrong table. They also missed delivering a coke for someone at our table for most of the dinner. While I make mention of these things, I'm not saying we had a negative experience. Our server was phenomenal, he even massaged my mother's arm when she complained about her fingers locking up. His service really was everything. Because the food... hmmm... Some of us started with a wedge salad which is easily enough for 2 people and very good. I shared a 28 oz ribeye with hubby, and it was decent, not great, but it didn't suck. Would a pay $115 for that again, no. We also ordered just about every type of potato on the menu, mashed, tater tots and hasbrowns. They were out of the hashbrowns which i was really looking forward to trying. The mashed were AMAZING!!! Even better than my own. Very buttery and smooth with hints of citrus (according to someone else, I didn't taste citrus). The tater tots, also very good. The sauce they came with was spicy, but a good accompaniment. In addition to most of the potatoes, we also ordered all the mac and cheese. Before I review this, I am admittedly hard on restaurant mac and cheese. It's almost always more of a mac soup with hints of cheese and cheese on top. These mac's are similar, except they are garlic heavy. Now while I understand the rest of the world loves garlic and wants it infused in everything, GARLIC DOES NOT GO IN EVERYTHING. Mac and cheese should carry a cheese flavor, be cheesy enough to get some cheese pulls and not be bland. The not bland part really only requires salt and pepper. IDC IDC, if you are making mac with onion, garlic or any other powder, it's not being done right. They then finished us off with some chocolate cake and a piece of cheesecake to celebrate my husband, both were good. My only other issue, I can't help but compare this to Mastros. The prices are similar (STK is more expensive with some of the items) but the quality is not. One thing I missed that we get at Mastros is having all of our leftovers boxed up by the staff and brought to you in cute little bags. All in all though, it was a cool experience. I won't rush to do it again, but will probably be back. One last note, be sure to ask what comes on/in things if you have allergies or dislikes. They do not list out all ingredients on the menu. read more

Awesome spot to watch the sunsets in San Diego above the Gaslamp Quarter at Andaz Hotel. I love the couches and fire pits, which are really nice around sunset into the evening and the perfect vibe for a date or night out with friends or family. I tried their San Diego Sour cocktail which features Del Maguey Vida, Pineapple, Lemon, an Egg White, and a Red Wine floater. It was excellent. Easy drinking especially with the breeze and views. The Mezcalifornia also intrigued me with Aperol, Illegal Mezcal, Don Julio Blanco, Liquid Alchemist Coconut, Pineapple, and Lime. Definitely packs a punch. I fully recommend both drinks. Most drinks on the menu are $16 which is typical for a rooftop bar and they also have house margaritas. A number of mocktails are also on the list for those trying to cut out alcohol including an Apertif Spritz, No-Groni, Pina Colada, and other options. The service is friendly and chill and there are a few TVs for catching the game. Recommend this spot! read more

Stayed at the Andaz hotel and when I learned that they offer brunch at the rooftop, we had to try it just for the view. During the morning service, it's very casual and laid back so if you're seated at a table waiting for a server, don't get upset because you need to go to the bar to place your orders. The three guys at the bar, Mike and his partners were a great help. They were very friendly and eager to serve. Mike made us some mean and delicious cocktails to start out our weekend brunch. As for the food, the Lobster Benedict was so good. My wife loved the Bagel and Lox as well. The view was spectacular on a beautiful San Diego morning. Try it out and look for Mike, Tell him Rangie T. sent you. read more

Ambiance was very nice. You're on a rooftop overlooking downtown it's pretty amazing. The service was great we decided to sit a bit far but that wasn't an issue for them. Food was delicious it's not a big meal like downstairs it's just appetizers and small entrees like burgers and salads. I recommend it if you want to go out and have drinks while you over see the city. Pretty cool read more

DO NOT GO HERE! If I could leave 0 stars I would. I (and 6 friends) had a brunch reservation at 12:00 on a Sunday. This was for a 30th birthday too. We walked into the restaurant which didn't even look open. A few men in there doing who knows what looked at us and just kept doing what they were doing not saying one word to us. Strike one. Then a guy finally came around and we told them we had reservations and he said no we're the night restaurant, the brunch restaurant is upstairs. So we go upstairs. Nobody up there. Not one person to help us, waited about 10 minutes before someone finally walked to us and told us they don't serve brunch and basically weren't open. Why be able to make a reservation then? He said go try downstairs and we said they sent us to the top. He said you guys can eat here though but we definitely didn't feel welcome at all. Strike two. Then so we just left and walking to the restaurant we passed a guy holding a sign advertising the restaurant that said rooftop brunch and bottomless mimosas. So I said your sign is a lie there's nobody even there and they really aren't open. And he was very shocked and said why am I out here so he left. HORRIBLE SERVCE HERE. Terrible marketing and no professionalism. Don't go here if you're looking for a warm welcome and brunch. We went to the Nolen and they sat us right away and had amazing service, amazing food and took great care of us. So go there instead. read more

$29 for a 1/10 Andez burger that tasted like a microwave dinner. Decent ambiance for a drink but would not go back

This place was amazing! We went for lunch as a big group we had reservations for the bachelorette crew. The food was amazing! They have a $30 all you can drink mimosas for 90 minutes and let me tell you it was so worth it. The staff was amazing! They had a live dj Cris who was so cool and he was playing all the good songs ! We tried the wagyu burger (very decently priced ) and it was amazing! I ate half I was stuffed ! I shared a plate of pork belly Benedict I believe it was called and it was so good! As a group we ordered the calamari and it was spectacular! This place and the ambiance was a major hit!!! Definitely recomend ! read more

For reasons that will become clear, I'm hesitant to rate this spot at this time... (but harassing notifications...). I will warn you that I'm being generous because our experience was foiled by Mother Nature--she got away with a whole star & wanted to shave off more, but we were determined to look past her. Our visit to STK Rooftop was during the winter and after some unusual rainy days (for San Diego). However, time off and reservations had been arranged, so we stuck to our plan. The rooftop views were vast, but this early-January evening had decided to serve them in sepia tones. We were one of three groups braving the chilly rooftop temps. Zipped up tight in a fleece, our host-waitress was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered ceviche, short rib tacos, brussel sprouts and drinks (one of which was an adult hot chocolate). Portions are as expected for a loungy, rooftop evening unwind. It was all quite fine, but I felt we were paying, in part, for the view. I suppose that's to be expected for a primo city rooftop experience (which we will have to revisit and reevaluate in better weather). The space is huge with lots of beautiful seating options. I don't remember any music...maybe because I had to wear a hat read more

During the day pool and the bar are packed. There are other table sitting area that are blocked off for event. We enjoyed some afternoon flat bread snack and drinks. It was pretty good except not enough sitting. During the morning of next day, we have our breakfast at The Rooftop by STK. It was a bit windy but there was table setup instead of lounge sofa and tiny table stand. Still the big part of sittings is block off. During breakfast there are heat lamps to provide some warmness since it is open air and windy. There were 2 bartenders that was serving all of the breakfast tables. Breakfast was decent and we hang out with friend's family. read more

My wife and I were staying downtown and decided to take a walk over to The Rooftop by STK. There is a restaurant with a similar name downstairs but you have to enter the Andaz hotel and go up in the elevator. We had made reservations but wanted to sit at the bar. We got such great service from Keller he was really nice and personable while handling drink orders at the bar. We ordered great food with him and excellent drinks. We had such a great afternoon here. It wasn't near as busy as all of the food options downtown. We had a lot of fun, the music was great and we socialized with some locals. I highly recommend this place. read more

PSA: even though reservations are available via Yelp...you may or may not show up to find that there is not, in fact, any table service. Total bummer. I came here for a Yelp event a few weeks back and thought it was a great spot- beautiful view, ample seating, and friendly, albeit, slow service. I made a Resi for dinner for my Meetup group. Imagine my embarrassment when we showed up and it turned out that they didn't do dinner service. This is not the type of place where it's comfortable to eat in the lounge area so we opted to walk a few blocks somewhere else. Very disappointing. read more

***Came Here for a Yelp Elite Event that served complimentary deserts and appetizers (note: entrees and drinks were NOT included)*** While the party put together was lovely (and quite crowded) the bar itself was disappointing. The staff seemed to be very overwhelmed and under prepared for the event. Our bartender took 15 minutes to make 1 drink (the other was a canned beer) and complained about making a Mai-Tai the entire time (even though it is on their menu). The venue itself is very beautiful and would be great for a party given its lounge vibe and pool area. While sitting at the bar (outside of the event) I spoke to another couple in regards to ordering good from the bar, they strongly discouraged this as they stated it took them 45 minutes to prepare an entree. My husband and I decided against ordering food and decided to order and additional beverage. I tried the Mai-Taisme once more from the bar closest to the pool and was again disappointed. The drink was completely different from what had previously been made. Overall I would not mind coming back here on a non-event day, but would be hesitant from ordering from the bar. read more

My review is solely based on my personal grab and go experience! Was looking for a quick beverage and caffeine pickup while attending an event at the Andaz Hotel, so I opted to try out the coffee/beverage bar up on the rooftop. I chose a hot matcha latte with soy and it was fairly very much average, but below a 3 star. Honestly would put a 1 star, but I don't want to completely judge the place off one single beverage. The matcha flavor was super light and basically just tasted like warm milk. I spent nearly $8. I do wonder how the food is! Maybe my review would be different. There was also a huge plant in the way of the bar ledge to order which was not a problem at all but an random inconvenient barrier went talking to the associate and ordering. She said they had an event the other day and they just never moved it out of the way. read more
