    Brunch at STK is an unforgettable experience. I started with fluffy buttermilk pancakes drizzled in maple syrup, followed by a savory lobster Benedict layered with rich hollandaise. For the final course, a juicy STK burger with truffle fries stole the show. Each dish was perfectly crafted, blending bold flavors with upscale presentation in a lively, chic atmosphere.

    We got seated right away. They asked if we'd like to sit outdoors which we decided was a good idea since it was a beautiful day. Service was great, our server Nhya was very attentive to our needs. We decided to do tapas only because it allows us to try different things and pace our food. Everything we tried was excellent. The white sangria was very good as well. We enjoyed our meal a lot and will add this restaurant to our list of favorites
