STK West Hollywood

Last week my grandmother, Shirley, was in town visiting us when we had a full house again. Shirley always has felt it is necessary to have a dinner without the parents and just the kids. We weere wondering where to go, until Taylor remembered he had gone to a restaurant in 'Vegas, STK. There was a West Hollywood location and we put on clothes on and left.  The restaurant is huge and modern, which caters to both the youth and older generations. There was a happening barscene and the restaurant was quite busy overall. I began the meal with a shrimp rice krispies which were covered in a bisque. The shrimp was not too fishy and it was drenched with my two favorite toppings, garlic and butter. The only problems with the dish were that it was quite filling and after eating the appetizer I felt as though I was about to explode. I knew I could break the theoretical food wall, and for my entrĂ©e I had a decadent filet mignon. I really enjoyed the steak because while placing the order, the waiter asks what kind of sauce you would like your steak to be topped with. I chose a red-wine sauce because I really enjoy the taste of steak cooked with red wine. The steak comes out on a plate at a whopping four hundred degrees and it is sizzling. The first bite is always the best, and oh boy was it. The chemistry between the red-wine sauce and the steak is unbreakable. The meal was quite satisfactory in all regards, and I would recommend it for those looking for an above average meal, but willing to pay a little extra for what they get. I gave STK an 8.25/10 on the conch scale, which as you may know is quite good for my strict standards.
