STK

STK in Bellevue is best framed as a modern American steakhouse with seafood and cocktails, priced around $100 per person. Book it when the point of the meal is steakhouse dining with a contemporary American steak-and-seafood focus. It is a less obvious fit if the goal is a very different kind of meal than the profile here.

The value case is clearest for diners who want the restaurant’s core strengths: steak, seafood, cocktails in one Bellevue setting. At the listed budget level, STK makes the most sense when a premium modern steakhouse format is the draw. If the occasion calls for something outside that steak-and-seafood lane, compare it with other Bellevue dining more generally.

Go for steak, seafood, cocktails

STK’s identity is a modern American steakhouse with seafood and cocktails, so the best order should stay close to that lane. The restaurant is not just a beef-only choice; seafood is part of the appeal, cocktails are part of the stated format. That makes it useful for a table that wants a steakhouse meal with both steak and seafood options.

For a focused meal, build around the signature dishes: dry-aged KC strip, New York Strip, Lil' Brgs wagyu sliders, miso-glazed Chilean sea bass, seafood tower. That gives the table enough flexibility to split between classic steakhouse choices, seafood, smaller shareable items. The better strategy is not necessarily to order more; it is to choose a few signatures that match the occasion and the group.

The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026 gives STK a confirmed recognition point. It should not be overread as a guarantee of any particular service style, but it is a accolade that may matter for diners considering STK for a higher-spend steak and seafood meal.

Match the occasion to the steakhouse format

STK’s smart casual dress code fits its modern steakhouse positioning. Guests should look put together without treating the restaurant like a formal dress-code occasion. That makes it a practical choice when a polished but not overly formal meal is the goal.

Because the profile centers on steak, seafood, cocktails, a $100-per-person price point, the strongest occasions are the ones that benefit from that combination. If the priority is a lower-spend meal or a different style of dining, another Bellevue dining room may be a better match.

Plan around the hours and budget

STK is open Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 12 AM, Sunday from 9 AM to 11 PM. Those hours make it possible to plan earlier meals or later dinners, especially on Friday and Saturday. The price point is about $100 per person, so the restaurant works best as a premium Bellevue steakhouse choice rather than a casual everyday stop.
