This past Saturday, The ONE Group’s STK Miami and the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hosted together an exclusive celebration during the South Beach Food & Wine Festival, giving chefs and industry insiders a first look at the restaurant, opening soon in the 1 Hotel & Homes in South Beach.
The private, invitation-only event showcased signature STK dishes prepared by Chef Aaron Taylor, with support from Chef de Cuisine, Eli Jackson. Partygoers drank cocktails and sampled classic menu favorites from STK such as tuna tartar and braised short rib, while enjoying music by Miami’s own DJ Irie throughout the night. The Cosmopolitan, home to STK Las Vegas, brought their distinctive brand of hospitality with curious surprises for VIP guests.
At the entrance to the striking space, guests encountered the “Wish Tree,” an installation by artist and activist Yoko Ono that is also currently on display at The Cosmopolitan. Flash tattoos and cocktails such as Grapes of Wrath and One Night in Bangkok by the resort’s Chef Mixologist Mariena Mercer further added to the celebratory spirit.
The ONE Group’s STK Miami and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas were thrilled to collaborate on this exclusive after-hours party that surpassed attendees’ expectations with imaginative cocktails, flavorful fare and interactive elements, along with a preview of the highly anticipated new addition to the South Beach dining scene, STK Miami.
STK Miami is located at 2311 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139, at the 1 Hotel & Homes building. Reservations can be made by calling 305-604-6988. To stay up-to-date on information, follow STK Miami on Facebook at facebook.com/STKHouse, on Twitter at @STKMiami and Instagram at @eatSTK.
About STK
STK originated in the heart of New York City’s Meatpacking District and is the brand’s flagship location among the eight around the world currently. STK artfully blends two concepts into one – the modern steakhouse and a chic lounge. The restaurant’s signature DNA includes plaster cast horns, curvilinear black platform seats and a palette of black gloss and cream. A large central lounge area is furnished with creamy leather banquettes and textured crocodile tiles, and is surrounded by an elevated dining room for more formal dining. Theatrical lights illuminate each table, while smoky mirrors allow guests to catch a glimpse of the surroundings while a DJ creates an energetic vibe throughout the entire space. As anticipated, steak is the main attraction yet with its modern twist, STK offers small, medium and large cuts of meat, as well as naturally raised options and market fresh fish entrees. Aside from steak, signature items include parmesan truffle fries, lil’ BRGs, shrimp rice krispies, sweet corn pudding, and jumbo lump crab salad.
