• If you’re vegetarian, the mushroom truffle tagliatelle is a great option (my friend loved it)

Steak Night @ STK 🍾

I'm sharing a plan that's great for an outing and semi-budget friendly,

so not going to hurt the pockets too much.

We paid $15 per person and spent 90 minutes playing social darts at Flight Club,

but I did something that I wouldn't normally do on a weekend.

we went over to probably my favorite find of this entire season.

It's STK's steak night offered Sunday to Thursday.

We spent $70 per person for more food than I could fit into my stomach in one sitting.

Talk about eyes being bigger than my stomach,

but the experience starts off with a choice of Cabernet or Prosecco,

and then you get Complimentary bread and butter

and then 1 dessert to share between the two of us.

I opted for the cotton candy dessert off of the regular menu,

but you really can't go wrong with anything off of the steak out menu here.

Highly recommend for your next group outing.
