Stk

I was eager to try STK because I love ONE Sunset so much. My issue with One has always been the portion size and that is definitely not the case at STK. I was getting full after just my salad! I went with a Vegetarian date, who I had to practically drag there, but he thought the Venue was gorgeous , and loved the food as well. There were plenty of things on the menu for him to eat, and I was impressed with how much seafood they had. The food is absolutely incredible. As much as I love One, STK surpasses it in the quality of the dishes. They are simply amazing. I was way too full to keep eating, and I had to because it was so goo. Definitely try the Truffled french fries, the duck, and the snapper. Also, the drinks and lounge are amazing and incredibly beautiful. I love this place and can't wait to go back. Pros: Everything. Cons: Crowded and loud BUT WORTH IT! more

I went to STK and was so surprised at how friendly the staff was. I would think that being the hottest spot in LA, the service would be lacking. I had the lump crab salad and let me just say....FLAVORFULL. I can come back just for that. Besides the crab salad, my husband and I shared the porterhouse....INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. I would definitely come back....as soon as I can get a reservation. Pros: stunning ambience, the bistro more

I have to admit, my expectations were very high since I've been to stk in new york. First of all, I was very lucky to have dined there. since they've opened here, they've been booked every single night almost. Just trying to get another reservation has been difficult to say the least. Anyway, we were a party of 8, and the host greeted us well. We had the foie gras, which was amazing. Don't forget to try the scallops too. I had the medium filet, which melted in your mouth. for desert, we had the peanut butter cup and it was a great finish to a great dinner. We stayed around in the bar after dinner and spotted so many celebrities. It was an amazing night with great food and service. Pros: celeb sighting Cons: packed more

I had dinner at STK on Friday night and absolutly loved it. I have friends who live in NYC who encouraged me to try the new one here in Los Angeles. There were 3 of us and we tried the Lump Crab Salad, Tuna Tartare and Shrimp cocktail- all was fantastic! It was also nice not to be forced to order a large steak and be able to order a small filet instead. We all shared the corned pudding and creamed spinach. We had a great time and thought the restaurant was beautiful. Good luck STK- I can't wait to come back. Pros: Really good food and all different sizes of steaks. Cons: Was very crowded and was a little loud. more

I heard that STK was coming to LA (I love the one they have in NY) and I told my BF that we have to try it out. It was a bit hard to get a reservation for the exact time we wanted because they were booked almost every night we wanted to go out. Last night was worth the wait. Loved the food, loved the service, loved the people watching! Just like the NY restaurant, the music was fantastic and the restaurant was sooo nice! I will def go back with my friends. Pros: music, melt in your mouth steak Cons: hard time getting reservation more

When I walked into this vast and sensual space I knew i was in for a different experience. STK isnt a traditional steakhouse like i am used to, but the food vastly made up for it. We did have to wait a bit, after all they just opened, and it seemed like more a ny crowd, but we were treated fairly, considering the other places in LA. The servers were knowledgable and new what to recommend. i had the shrimp rice krispes which were out of this world! my fiancee had the diver scallops which he enjoyed. the steak i had was a lil on the small side but cooked perfectly. he had the skate and it was delicious! drinks were plenty and the amibence was great. dj was playing in the background and made it for one truly amazing night!\r this is the new hot spot kids so get there! Pros: Food, music, ambience Cons: waiting more

I was told I was amongst one of the first to dine in this restaurant. They only had opened a day prior. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPOT! I never write reviews on City Search but when I have an amazing experience I want the world to know. The decor is breathtaking. It is very modern shiek - definitely not a stuffy steakhouse. The people are absolutely beautiful. I spotted a couple celebs - Adam Sandler was amongst them. As for the food, let's just sum it up by saying incredible. There was not one dish that I didn't completely fall in love with (it was Valentine's Day afterall). The lump crab salad was so fresh and clean. There was a rice krispie shrimp thing that I loved so much I had to ask for a second. My husband who has a regular ""boys steakhouse weekly club"" said this will be his new regular weekly steakhouse. The steaks melt in your mouth. Finally, a steakhouse that's exciting to go to. You can people watch while enjoying one of the best meals you'll ever have! Pros: Beautiful People, Amazing Food, Amazing Decor Cons: You can't just call in a reservation the night of (or so it seems) more

Went to Bridge a few weeks ago and had an amazing time! We made reservations and they seated us promptly in a great booth...the ambiance of Bridge is great. The service was amazing as well. The waiter was prompt and the manager even came and checked on us. Bridge also an extensive wine list...with every kind of wine from Italy you can imagine. In addition to all this the food was also good, particularly the dessert cobbler. Bridge is a great date spot and it's also a great place to dine with a group of friends. The outdoor lounge provides a really relaxed atomosphere. If you want a good time, with the ambiance, and quality Bridge is the way to go! Pros: Ambiance, Wine, Food Cons: None more

OK. It's increasingly hard to find quality restaurants in LA where you are welcomed as a customer, not regarded as a nuisance. Bridge sets the standard by which all fine restaurants should be judged. From the moment you get there, you feel like they want you to enjoy your dinning experience. The service is attentive without being intrusive, servers are obviously trained not to interrupt your conversation with ""dishes of the day,"" but rather make their presence known and wait for you. I love that! The menu is challenging as there are so many tempting dishes to chose from, but don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation - the servers know the menu backwards and will give you a useful opinion. The food is certainly Italian in influence, but varied and appealing to all tastes. Early dinning is probably not a good idea, this place comes alive around 9pm, and the decor and vibrancy of the location is priceless. If you want a lively locale for an entertaining and enjoyable night, then the Bridge is for you. Pros: Decor, Menu, Comfortable Seating, Attentive Service, Beautifully Presented Courses Cons: You have to vallet park. more

A group of 5 went on a Monday night, the place was totally empty (which is unheard of!)? I guess it?s because of the holidays around the corner! The service was fast and friendly, the prices were reasonable (maybe a bit over priced, but compared to other places with the same ambience, it was priced just right!). Calamari appetizer was great, Pumpkin Ravioli was perfect! Small portions, but we are a fat society (hehe) so actually the portions were just right! It was a birthday dinner, and although they don?t do that cheesy ?sing to you? thing, the dessert plate was beautifully decorated and personalized! All in all, excellent experience! Pros: Ambience, Waiter was great, big booths that were comfy to sit in Cons: Nothing to note! more

Great place to have drinks!! Beautiful decor, nice atmosphere, The food is horrible and overpriced! I don't care about price as long as the food is good, unfortunately the food here tastes like it came from Ralph's food court!.... The valet is crazy! 7 dollars and your car will definately get abused by the drivers!!... not to mention that on a busy night you'll have to run to the middle of La Cienega Blvd to jump into your car that has been park right in the middle of the street!!!... Again the place is beautiful, the drinks are good! the food is horrible!!!.... Next time I go there it will be for drinks only!!! IF you do this you'll love the place! Pros: specialty drinks! atmosphere, great decor Cons: Food is horrible! They should have their own Valet Parking! more

The decor is beautiful, the service is top notch and the food was very good. It's pricey but you are paying for the atmosphere! Great specialty cocktails, the Bl ood Orange Martini was so good. My only criticisms are that the fresh mozzarella was too runny ( I think it should have been Burrata), my raviolis were a little salty (I love salt though so it was fine for me) and the cheesecake was frozen :gasp: My scallop appetizer was fantastic and so were the short ribs and the filet. I thought the cheesecake being frozen was the worst thing about the night, I mean come on if I'm paying that much I don't want a frozen dessert! The warm chocolate dessert more then made up for it though! Definitely worth going to for a fun and nice night out! Pros: decor, service, scene more

the decor of the place is beautiful and you can't believe how long the rooms keep going for. the wine list was OK and the food was OK. it wasn't anything i hadn't had before. the service was great but for the price i paid i much rather go somewhere else. just my two cents. Pros: decor Cons: food for the price more

food was good, atmosphere was good, but the watier lost my credit card and never came back to tell me about it. After 20 minutes of sitting at the table waiting for him to come back, I walked behind the kitchen and found him looking for my card under the wine refrigerator. They still charged me for the meal, and called me later to tell me that they hadn't found it yet and that I should cancel my card. The next day I spoke to the manager and asked for a credit on my meal or at least something complimentary since it's a huge hassle to cancel a credit card, he said he'd look into it, but never got back to me... i know it may be a one time thing that they lost my card, but they also lost me as a customer since the way they dealt with the situation was so poor. more

One of my new favorite speed dial restaurants is Bridge. Stunning Decor, sumptous food selections, fanastic wine list, gorgeous wait staff makes a truly amazing place to dine! If you aren't in the mood for a full dinner in the two story dining room, opt for casual dining fare in the sunken lounge.... and that is open until 2 AM! Nice touch of sophistication to La Cienega Blvd. And yes... the nasty papparazzi will be out front to take your picture... So make sure you tip the valet to leave your car up front for a quick getaway! Pros: Stunning Perfection! Cons: Valet Wait Time more

While it is true the best thing about this place now is the beautiful decor and loungey bar area; I found (unlike some of the other reviewers) that the service was relatively pleasant and the food was pretty good, if not inspired. I had foie gras as a starter and it was good, but not spectacular - i appreciated that they didn't try to ""fancy"" up the dish with lots of weird fruit, chutneys or sauces - but the seasoning was a little bland and the toast was a bit soggy. My lobster pasta was much better, but again not particularly exciting. Chocolate symphony dessert was nice and pretty to look yet - but it isn't one of those desserts that you crave once you've had it already. I probably won't have dinner here again for a while, but I will definitely check out the bar scene - perhaps on a night other than Friday, since the crowd was not particularly attractive. Pros: Decor; Bar Area; Good Drinks Cons: Food is uninspired and not worth the price more

I love this space. When Alto Palato closed, I was very bummed but also excited to see what was going in - AP had become a bit stale. When a friend suggested we try out Bridge, I did some research on the net, reading the LA Times review and browsing the restaurants web site. Immediately I realized the menu is quite similar to that of the old AP...and I was more excited. So, with my memory of before refreshed, I went to Bridge last night to eat. I think they did a fantastic job with the interior but the exterior reminded me of the Small World attraction at Disneyland and the entrance was a bit funky. Valet? The idea of driving TO the valet annoys me and then having to share thier services with another restaurant - what's the deal here? I paid 7 dollars for what? Anyway..\r \r The bar was pleasant but I think the bartenders aren't making much money. They seemed ironed out. Good pour though. Our reservation was honored, and as we were on time there was no hassle and after a quick drink were shown to our table...in Siberia. I don't mind the back room (there are so many memories of this space; I had many office parties in this room) and nothing could make me feel bad about being sat at the furthest table from Mars, but then, we were two and were given a 4 top and I like not being cramped. The hostess however should think about the diners experience and realize which way diners would prefer to face - she placed our menus in such a way that had we followed her recommendations, we would be facing a wall.\r \r Our waiter was great. Nice, easy, charming, inobtrusive. My companion ordered a half bottle of wine and an entre. I ordered 2 appetizers. Mine sucked. The prosciutto and burrata is ill conceived - the textures made me want to gag - they should foil one another, right? Undressed silky creamy fat. And my shaved artichoke salad? Gritty. Way too cold. Over dressed. Dense as a steak. Parmesan cheese from Vons. Blech. The branzino looked nice. Pros: Great space Cons: Disinterested food prep more

I've been to Bridge 5 times and every time it keeps getting better. Try the pizza its made in a wood burning grill and its to die for! Pros: Pizza, Celebs, Service Cons: Valet is a little crazy b/c they share it with the Belmont more

the appetizers are a joke...we ordered the tartara di tonno...the 3 littlest crackers i have ever seen with tuna on them. my insalata di simone was fabulous! however, i was surprised upon arrival of my dish...it's raw (didn't know that) & there were 3 pieces of grass on the top lol...definatly not a salad, but DELICIOUS! my bf & i split this w/ his salmone alla grigla & fortunately, we were full ..i think it's b/c of all the salmon we ate. we weren't expecting such small portions, but the food, service, & decor are excellent! more
