Celebrating our wedding anniversary at STK Steak

The Steak Frites from STK Steak.

This week my husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary! We celebrated by going out to lunch at STK Steak in Bellevue. They call themselves a modern steakhouse and chic lounge. I'd heard about the interior and was excited to check it out. The vibe reminded me of Vegas, and I'm here for it. The dining room was spacious and decorated so pretty. In the back, there's a bar with horns on the wall and lots of seating.

Our server was friendly, and the service was prompt. We kicked things off with a cocktail. I had a Strawberry Cobbler and my husband had a Not Your Daddy's Old Fashioned. All of the cocktails were made with top shelf liquor and the prices reflected that. My drink had Belvedere Vodka, muddled strawberry, and a graham cracker rim. Right away, I could taste the vodka, but then a second sip gave me more of the strawberry and sweetness from the graham cracker rim. My drink tasted like a strawberry dessert, resulting in a nice choice of drink.

To eat, I ordered the Steak Frites. I chose my steak to be cooked medium rare. Steak Frites is just steak served with fries. In this case, it was an 8 oz. Rib Eye. My steak tasted a little under seasoned but tasted much better with the STK sauce poured on top. The sauce was a butter sauce with seasonings. My husband ordered the STK Sandwich, a steak sandwich with shaved coffee-rubbed Rib Eye. There was also caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, and horseradish cream. I tried a bite of his sandwich and it was 10 out of 10.

Our server knew it was our anniversary and he surprised us with a complimentary piece of Raspberry Cheesecake. It was so creamy and rich! What a sweet surprise and a perfect ending to our special lunch.
