STK

STK in Los Angeles is a modern American steakhouse for diners who want steakhouse staples, seafood, craft cocktails in one premium meal. At $90 per person, it sits in special-occasion territory for many tables, so it makes the most sense when the group is specifically looking for wagyu steaks, seafood dishes, sides, a steakhouse meal rather than a casual everyday option.

The clearest reason to book is the menu. Signature dishes include wagyu steaks, including global selections, jumbo lobster tail, tuna tartare, miso glazed Chilean sea bass, Parmesan truffle fries, mac & cheese, Lil’ BRGs, the restaurant’s wagyu sliders. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026 adds a confirmed recognition point, while the core identity remains a modern American steakhouse with seafood and craft cocktails.

A steakhouse choice built around wagyu, seafood, sides

The strongest use case is a table that wants a premium steakhouse meal with several signature items to choose from. The menu gives beef-focused diners wagyu options, while seafood dishes such as miso glazed Chilean sea bass, tuna tartare, jumbo lobster tail help the table avoid making the meal entirely steak-driven. Sides like Parmesan truffle fries and mac & cheese are also part of the confirmed signature list.

Value depends on how the booking is used. At $90 per person, STK is not a low-cost steakhouse choice, but the menu has a clear range of recognizable steakhouse and seafood anchors. For an occasion where the only priority is a different cuisine or a highly specific format, other dining in Los Angeles may be a better fit. For a steakhouse meal built around wagyu, seafood, sides, cocktails, STK has a direct reason to be on the shortlist.

Order around the steakhouse core, then add seafood and sides

The safest ordering path is to treat the menu like a modern American steakhouse: choose a steak or seafood centerpiece, then add sides. Wagyu steaks cover the steakhouse expectation, while miso glazed Chilean sea bass, tuna tartare, jumbo lobster tail give the table alternatives if not everyone wants beef. Lil’ BRGs can work as a recognizable STK signature for diners who want wagyu sliders alongside the larger steakhouse items.

The sides matter because Parmesan truffle fries and mac & cheese are both signatures, they help round out a meal built around wagyu or seafood.
