The best dinner in ages. Every course was delicious. The Parmesan butter with the sourdough, I could have eaten that for seconds. The lasagne lived up to the hype, the garlic bun was crisp and so garlicky and rocket salad was simple but the perfect side. Yum. I hate tiramisu but decided to try it and I’m so glad I did as it was perfect along with the chocolate sorbet. Loved the little venue and the staff were all welcoming. Wished the deli was open when we came as I’d definitely have been taking some bits home with us.

I went to STK yesterday for my friend's birthday brunch. There were ten of us, and it was seriously the best! The Vibe brunch was amazing, 10/10. You should totally check it out. Thanks to all the awesome staff. I'm definitely going back.

First time at the restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, service and ambience. We were not rushed and my husband had a birthday and the staff came out with a candle and sang Happy Birthday. Will definitely go back!
