What a stupid fucking tagline. I don't even know what that means. But unlike Ocean Prime, STK is a hip and trendy chain that actually open in markets that can support their lofty price tag... Like in New York, LA, Miami, Vegas and London. This place feels like a playground for the over paid and spoiled local celebs and athletes. Sports teams are leaving this city by the dozen, who is gonna eat here besides professional athletes with money to burn? My bigger question is... How the hell did Atlanta get on their expansion list is beyond me but let's take a looksie anyways.
The interior reeks of NYC... I don't know if that's a good thing for this town. The wall of horns is ugly but whatever. The crowd is full of the hip, the trendy and the douchy. What's with the 50 somethings trying to pretend they are 25? There is no amount of Ed Hardy and foundation that you can dip yourself in to make you look better, unless it's a wet cement foundation. I saw a lot of the old school crowd back from the days (mebbe it's because Dallas Austin was spinning that night)... Looks like they made a little money over the years because they will need it to eat here. It's a place to see and be seen... For now.
(Not only are the people horny, the wall is, too)
Hot broads tending bar (esply the oriental chick with all the tats and giant mams) but probably one of the worst run bars in the city. It's new, so, I guess they're still a bit wet behind the ears... I rather she wet my lips with a drink, instead. And of course, I'll return the favorite.
(Fanny Bays and Cuttyhunks)
You can't go wrong with 2 great oysters (one west coast and the other east coast) paired together on a bed of ice. I can only be so lucky if I could get two clams in bed. But I'll take this. Fresh and dericious.
(King crab salad)
The crab was really fresh but at the end of the day it was just a cute dish... For broads.
(Pork belly)
Nice pork belly, crispy, tender, not too fatty. They need to put more of it on that plate and stop putting that green shit all over it.

(Cowboy rib steak w/ bone)
34 ounces of real man meat (came with the STK and STK au poivre sauce). This sack of meat was a little "blue" but I still rammed it into my mouth over and over again. This is one meat I don't mind it making a mess all over my face for. I have no shame... I lived on Boulevard for 3 years, I've eaten things that would make a billy goat puke. Still remember my friend getting a BJ from one of the local talent in exchange for a $1 Whopper Jr... While he was feeding it at the same time. Awesome.

(Glamour shot)
Food porn. Looks so good, kinda makes you wanna stick your fat finga in between the flaps. But at the end of the day my balls were as blue as this piece of meat.
(Mushroom pot pie)
This was a fun side dish. Nice flaky crust, stuffed with mushrooms and a shitload of truffle oil... Maybe even too much. Yeah, I said too much.

(Sweet corn pudding)
Velvety and tasty. Looks very healthy. I should eat more veggies like this. Would be nice if they actually reheated this inside the cast iron to give it a little crispyness on the inside of the pan... Would be 10 times better if they did.

(Broccolini)
Love this stuff... So tasty, a side dish you can't screw up. Well, I take that back. But this was pretty good. Why is it served in a room temp cast iron pan? Kinda sick of high end steakhouses not utilizing the pan for what it's meant to be used for.
(Creamed spinach)
Can't have a steakhouse if you don't have this on your menu... The good ole, spinach bathe in heavy cream, butter and salt. Look ma, I'm eating my veggies... So, shut it.

This place is not cheap but you wouldn't expect it to be. It is in the big city after all. The food was pretty good and the service was above average. They still need a little more training but you won't notice after a few drinks... Just make sure they don't fill your glass full of ice when you order a $85 Macallan 25.
If you wanna get laid with your blind date later that night... Take it here. If she turns out to be a hog, take it out back and walk back in through the front door, solo, there's enough talent here looking for freebies.
2 Stars.
