by Sarah S. on Ok, so the decor is amazing and the vibe is really cool. I felt like I was in a Chivas commercial. Tight dress code, but it isn't like a dress code where you can wear Ed Hardy crap - guys are in suits and ties and suspenders - so get dressed up. Here's my one gripe. You get dressed up, you wait in line, you're in the mood to spend money - then you sit in a random chair. Not at a table (I understand table service) a chair - and a waitress approaches and tells you that you can sit there, so long as you open a minimum $25 tab with her. It's such a lame, cheap, douchy move. Anyone at that place is spending more than $25, so why charge for someone to sit in a chair. That's like charging someone to sit up at the bar - which, I don't know maybe they do. So if someone at The Edison is reading this, here's my message to you - if you're going to pretend you're high-end and upscale, then act like it and don't nickel and dime your customers like you're US Airways.
by Chad T. on STK has the very stereotypical meatpacking district feel to it. It's as if they can't decide if they want to be a lounge, a dance club, or a restaurant (but this indecision is clearly deliberate). I'm not dinging them for it, because it isn't like you don't know what you're getting yourself into, and if you're into that kind of thing you will absolutely love this place. They know what they're going for and they do it well. As far as the food goes, stay away from the seafood platter for the group. They will try to push it on you, but it's not worth it. The lump crab salad over a melon slice is fantastic, make sure you try that if you like crab. It doesn't really matter what main course you get, but for dessert you must try the s'more. It's not like any smore you've ever had. And they clearly used a small blow torch to crisp up the marshmallow. It's enough to split with 3 people, so don't think you need to each order a dessert.
