Came during Happy Hour.Bartenders were helpful and patient when I was trying to figure out what drink I wanted. I was back and forth between two drinks and did not feel rushed at all when I couldn’t figure out what drink I wanted.If you’re looking for something that is a perfect strong, I recommend the Unchained Passion.If you’re looking for some refreshing and not too sweet, then I recommend the Cucumber Stiletto. I don’t like sweet drinks and it was super hot so I wanted something refreshing. This was perfect!The cheesecake 10/10!! It tasted better than Juniors Cheesecakes.The vibes are cool! Definitely will be coming back!

The STK near Bryant park was much better. I had stomach issues all night (possibly from the oysters) after eating there. We made reservations for the rooftop, but they sat us by the air conditioning which was too high. We told the bouncer (I guess that’s who he was) in a purple coat, but he instead turned the air conditioning higher. I told the waitress and she finally turned it down. We ordered our food after being told that our selections would have a bone in it. We ordered the Dry Aged Delmonico ($117 each - 14oz). We must have gotten something else because it didn’t have a bone (or maybe the waitress was mistaken - what do I know, I don’t work at a steakhouse, I work in finance). Many selections were unavailable (see the attached image of the menu with crossed out items - my wife wanted the cowgirl bone-in Ribeye and was severely disappointed). I still tipped 20% (which is the lowest I’ll tip), but I’m not going back to that location. I forgot to mention that I had to ask for bread and I only remembered because all the other tables received bread. I spent over $635 and felt taken advantage of. Never again.P.S. - There was a nice gentleman in the bathroom on the 2nd floor (who remarkably was able to tell me his life story in 2 minutes), but I felt bad because I don’t carry cash and could not tip him. Seems to be a demeaning and outdated job. If you’re going to keep him, please give him an Apple Pay machine. I’d have given him $2.

I am fan of the STK brand and this was my 3rd visit to one of their many locations around the world. I have to admit that this was truly underwhelming.Great location in the Meatpacking District. To access the rooftop restaurant on level 4, you first step into “STK Downtown”. The ambience here looks like what you would expect from an STK. I opted for the rooftop because the temps were mild and I thought it would be nice to dine outside. We had a 5pm reservation and were immediately seated.Ambience on the rooftop is decent. There is a small lounge area surrounded by vines and flowers. Nice for photos. The majority of the tables and bar are under a covered roof, and even the outdoor tables all have umbrellas. Overall, the cleanliness and ambience of the rooftop did not align with STK’s identity in my opinion.Many other reviews spoke negatively about the service and now I understand. Our server was really nice and pleasant, however it seemed like they were understaffed (bar and wait staff). Drinks took long to arrive and we couldn’t place our order until the drinks came. There were just too many occasions where we had to look for our server and the worst part is that they did not seem to be busy as the restaurant was not full. All of our empty dishes stayed on the table until we paid the check. We had to clean and stack dishes ourselves. Ordered a 2nd round of drinks and those were forgotten as we had to remind the server. Finally, we ordered salad and it seemed to also be forgotten. We had a table full of cooked items and we were missing what essentially could have been the first item to arrive. I cancel the item with our server, then 5 minutes later the salad arrives. We refused it.We went during happy hour and for an NYC happy hour, I highly recommend the menu for quality and value. Drinks were VERY good. We also ordered from the regular menu. I didn’t feel that any dish was amazing, but my family did agree that everything was good and above average. Highlights were the LOBSTER MAC & TUNA TARTARE TACOS (They are 2-mini tacos although the menu does not state that).Another small negative, the table rocked because the legs were uneven. Might sound stupid to some, but this can be very annoying when 4 people are dining. I’ve been at other high end restaurants where they immediately try to resolve.I have always viewed STK as a high end restaurant, but this service experience was not commensurate with the prices being charged. Definitely recommend the happy hour. Go to the bar after work. If you really want to dine, I would suggest trying downstairs.

I went to STK Rooftop for their happy hour and I must say, it's one of the better happy hours I've found since covid (its from 230pm-530pm). The drinks and food are delicious, drinks are only like $9 and the food ranges from $3-$9. For drinks, I tried The Spicied Watermelon (favorite), the Strawberry Cobbler and I can't remember the last one. We ate the Wagyu Meatballs(fav), STK Steak and Frites (fav) and the some sort of Mushroom fried ball (also good). Shout out to Ed, our server. He was super nice, efficient and helpful when we were trying to make decisions. For 9 drinks and 4 appetizers, the bill was around $100. You cant beat that! I will definitely be returning sooner rather then later.

We came here for happy hour and had a great time! The rooftop is beautiful and creates such a nice atmosphere. Service was a little slow, but the drinks and food made up for it—they were absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back, especially for their Strawberry Cobbler cocktails!
