    Dining at STK Toronto was an absolute pleasure! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch, and a special shoutout goes to Coco for making our evening so enjoyable. We started with the calamari, which my kids declared the best they've ever had – a big win! For our main course, the Porterhouse steak was cooked exactly as requested (medium) and was incredibly flavorful. The sides we chose – the macaroni and cheese and the truffle fries – were the perfect accompaniments and truly elevated the meal. Kudos to the Chef and the entire team at STK Toronto for a flawlessly executed dining experience. If you're looking for a fantastic steakhouse in Toronto, I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

    Fabulous from start to finish. Booked a bar seat last minute and we were sat at the chef's table. The front of house staff and chef team were lovely and the kitchen staff interacted with us and answered questions about the dishes they were making! We had an amazing evening and the food was amazing. The highlight of our trip to Toronto!
