🍴 STK Boston: Trendy Fusion Fare That's Worth the Hype (and Wait) Vibe Check This spot is packed—even with a reservation, we waited 20 mins! Dim lighting, buzzy energy, and folks mingling at the bar like it's 2019 Perfect for Insta pics, but prepare for elbow-to-elbow dining. 💰 The Damage (4 People, No Drinks) 4oz STK/SALMON: $33.50 SHRIMP+SCALLOP Pasta: $38.75 VEGETABLE TORTELLINI: $23.50 CRAB CAKE: $25.75 COBB SALAD: $18.50 CHEESECAKE BRÛLÉE: $14.50 Total: ~$150 before tip—pricey, but portions are tiny (think tapas-sized). 🌟 The Food: Fusion Wins & Portion Fails 4oz STK/SALMON 🥩+🍣 Genius combo: Chinese five-spice steak and salmon sushi roll. Bold flavors (hello, hoisin glaze!), but 4oz is a tease—good thing it tastes like East-meets-West magic. SHRIMP+SCALLOP PASTA 🍝 Creamy tomato sauce with al dente linguine, but... 3 shrimp and 2 scallops for $39? Ouch. Flavor was on point, though—think Nonna's sauce with a fancy twist. CRAB CAKE 🦀 Lump crab meat, zero filler—crispy outside, juicy inside. But two bite-sized cakes for $26? Let's just say we fought over the last crumb. COBB SALAD 🥗 Saving grace! Massive bowl of bacon, avocado, blue cheese—actually enough for 4 as a starter. Freshness 10/10. CHEESECAKE BRÛLÉE 🍰 Sweet enough to give you a sugar coma—think melted caramel + brick of cream cheese. 4 of us couldn't finish it. Pro tip: Order coffee to cut the sweetness. 💡 Pro Tips for Surviving STK Book 2 Weeks Ahead：Weekends are impossible without a reservation. Order Strategically：Stick to fusion dishes (steak/salmon, crab cake) and skip basic pastas—you're paying for creativity, not carbs. Come for the Vibe：Cocktails are Instagrammable (try the Smoky Old Fashioned), and the bar scene is prime for people-watching. 🌟 Final Verdict: 3.5/5 Stars Overpriced, undersized, but undeniably fun. Go if you're craving Insta-worthy fusion or celebrating something—just don't come hungry unless you're ready to drop $$$. #BostonFoodie #TrendyDining #FusionCuisine #BostonTravel
