Had an early surprise dinner for my partner. It was a great place for our 3-course dinner. My partner did not utter a single word over dinner and suddenly he went, “This is why nations fight…This is why some men leave their wives for…The food here is so soooo good!”
Our Entree:
Tiger Prawns & Seared Scallops
Mains:
Eye Fillet – Savannah Fine Marbled Angus
Sapper – Daily Market Fish
Something Sweet:
Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlèe

And guess what? The next day – my partner booked a table for 6 and wanted his family to enjoy the fine quality food which STK offers.
It was an amazing dining experience. Thank you.Comment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 6/12/2012Dear Jade, Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write… More »

We ate at this restaurant because it was conveniently located downstairs from the hotel we were staying at.
The reason I only gave it 2 stars was because of the following reasons.
1. The food took about 1 hour to come out and their excuse was because we ordered our steak/lamb medium well, that it needed more cooking time! It ended up coming out Well done anyway so we didn’t even get what we asked for.
2. The portion sizes were tiny! The steak comes alone on a plate with a dab of caramelised onions, 1 cherry tomato & a few pieces of rocket. You have to order any sides you want e.g., potatoes, greens, on top of the meal which they charge an extra $9 for.
3. The price! It cost us $85 for the smallest meal of my life.
The service was okay. They were apologetic but only after complaining about the wait time. I would have expected a discount for the inconvenience but wasn’t offered it.
Won’t be eating at this restaurant again sorry.Comment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 24/01/2013Dear Sacha, Thank you so much for your review on STK Restaurant,… More »

We used our deal voucher – it was more than worth it. Seafood chowder was to die for, Kai moana for him – YUMMY, STK steak – cooked to perfection and a STK burger – WOW. Food was awesome, service was attentive, venue very clean, and decor subtle. Restaurant manager – Great. Didn’t know this place existed. Overall an excellent place to dine. Would dine there again without a voucher!!!
Would recommend. Trev & MaryComment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 24/01/2013Dear Trev and Mary, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback…. More »

We were given a voucher for a 3 course dinner for four, for a Xmas prezzy. Initially we were a bit worried about what this place would be like, but we were all pleasantly surprised – the food was fantastic, and our waitress, a lovely French lady, was attentive without being ‘in your face’. We were given a fresh hot bread roll with butter to start, a really nice touch (and delicious!). Our entrees were 2x scallops with pork belly, 1x seafood chowder, and 1x baby back ribs – all were cooked so well – the portion size of the baby back ribs was very generous, so I ended up sharing some of this with the rest of our group. The mains were the lamb rump, seafood risotto, wagyu burger & I had the Wakanui beef scotch, and it was just perfectly cooked. We ordered sides, but they were not necessary….we were quite full and trying to find room for dessert. We had 3x banana pies and I ordered the vanilla bean creme brulee with poached pear. My brulee was lovely, but the surprise of the night was everyone’s banana pie! It was AMAZING…just so delicious. It was topped with a huge dollop of mascarpone/cream and had a layer of banana & caramel on a biscuit base, with bits of caramel & pistachio on the plate. Just divine. All in all, a really great night and we will definitely return. Thanks guys!

The food was amazing. Comp bread to start – hot & fresh. Entree – seared scallops for me and the ribs for him – both cooked to perfection! Mains – we both had beautiful steaks, purchased sides for extra; the potatoes and heirloom carrots. These sublime mains had us ‘mmmming’ and saying ‘this is so good’. Dessert for me was the artistic looking choc trio and creme brulee for him, again perfect. The staff were professional and friendly. I tried the Toblerone cocktail and was so pleased I did…heaven. This was a great night, will def come again for a special occasion.

I bought a voucher deal for my sister’s graduation dinner. I felt so sorry for my sister to choose this restaurant for a special day. Tuna was not available on that day so our family tried steak for main. But all the steaks were burnt and very bittered/salty. Also service was not good. Even the waitress often dropped knifes and fork and did not say sorry or any apologies. I will not choose this restaurant in the future and disappointed with service and taste! I wasted my money and time today.

I decided to celebrate my b’day there as they have a very nice private dining room at the back if you don’t want to be in the restaurant. They had a $38 menu promo but after reading their a la carte menu we couldn’t say no to that huge selection.
The meal was absolutely superb and arrived super fast! (we were 16 people dining) and the staff was lovely and attentive.
My tips are:
Try the artichoke dip and lamb sweetbreads as entrees and choose any steak because they are fabulous!Comment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 4/12/2012Jeffrey, Thank you very much for the lovely feedback about the… More »

My husband and I dined here recently and we were really impressed. The lovely refurbishment matched the perfectly cooked & presented food. Our steaks were succulent and the sides and wine complimented the steaks. Staff were really friendly and attentive. We’ve already recommended it to friends who also tried and loved Stk and we’ll be back again ourselves.

I always buy vouchers from websites in order to try different places at a good price and this is my second time in this restaurant as they had a deal promo last year.
This time the deal is so much better than last year and I had the best meal ever!!!!
Steaks are awesome!!!! Perfectly cooked and they also brand them with the STK logo, I think it’s a good touch
Staff was very attentive the whole time considering they were very busy!
I will come back, oh yes!!!!!!!!Comment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 24/01/2013Dear Sophia, Wow, thank you very much for the great… More »

Nice atmosphere and food OK, but despite mentioning 3 times that we weren’t in a hurry, ended up with food in front of us at a speed that Burger King would envy (about 30 seconds gap between entree and main), so what started out as a special night out was over in a flash and a bout of indigestion from being forced to eat so quickly.

Food, was great’ish
Service, was bad
While the food was tasty the entree was cold when it arrived, the main (steak) was well cooked but the condiments were quite bland and let the meal down as a whole.
The service, OMG… After three choices of wine not available we had to have a house wine.. Ordered a bottle of wine was delivered a Glass. Entree delivered without cutlery and had to ask twice for this..
When these concerns were raised with the floor manager service did improve, so good on them for taking the concerns seriouslyComment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 24/01/2013Dear Ian, Thank you so much for your review on STK Restaurant &… More »

SPK Rydges Hotel Restaurant.
Terrific service from an Irish young lady indeed. Seafood chowder a good meal yes but brown bread could have included a side of butter or something to rid the taste of brown bread and the chowder …lol!
Wasnt happy with my steak dish from new spk menu, Asked for med’rare but found it to be rare in the very middle.. this is something that chef’s bugger up apart from visiting Tony’s steak house Mmmmmm! Anyway the mushroom drenched in oil and as for the “GPK” Style halved garlic clove was wayy too oily! Hardly touched the large flat mushroom.. I’d go to GPK for the halved garlic additive for any meal.Comment from Yolande S. of STK Restaurant & Lounge Bar 24/01/2013Dear Sammy, Thank you so much for your review on STK Restaurant &… More »
