Thrillist: STK obviously means "steak," but the spiced duck breast with sweet potato and crispy leeks comes highly recommended...by us! Read more.
Nathan Simpson: Heinous waitress refused my group entry because of a dress code? I was wearing Alexander wang leather shorts! And it was also 90 degrees... Never again!
