Great night out! We had a fantastic experience, I felt like it was an experience I’d have in the the city - upscale atmosphere. Our group loved the tuna tartare appetizer, branzino, steak frites - elevated but not trying too hard. The service and meal were excellent. The general managers were very welcoming as well.

We ate here on Christmas Eve and our experience was amazing! We had the mini lobster rolls as an appetizer, filet mignon with brussel sprouts and whipped potatoes for our main course, and the beignets for dessert. The service was exceptional and fast! The food was delicious! If you’re looking for a great steakhouse without going to Chicago, give MK Steak a try! We’ll definitely be back!

Unbelievably amazing! Took my staff here for a Holiday appreciation party and they pulled out all the stops. The food itself was savory and was prepared to perfection. Stand outs were the buffalo cauliflower, sea bass, and filet lollipops. The servers were so well trained and clearly pull from prior industry experience as well. Gabrielle was so easy to work with when planning a large event. MK is the real deal… on a level of their own for the ‘Burbs.

Tried MK steak for the first time last night. As other reviews have stated extremely loud in the restaurant…when you call to speak to the host, you can barely even hear them because of how loud the background noise is. We started off with a mix of East and West Coast oysters, which were very good. We ordered their two holiday drinks which were a maple, cinnamon, old-fashioned, and a peppermint, espresso martini. The peppermint espresso martini was very good however the entire cup was extremely sticky And when my wife asked for a new cup, they brought a napkin and started wiping the cup down for her, which was a little weird. The old-fashioned tasted like watered down bourbon with several dashes of cinnamon powder in there to the point that it was chunky.
Besides the noise and the subpar cocktails, the fillet with the garlic, as well as the side dishes were excellent. Our Server Daisy was amazing and definitely helped make it a great date night. Eric, (sommelier maybe?) was also great and fun to have a convo with.
Overall, I recommend this place (but will go straight to wine) and will be back in the future. Will definitely try to sit in the section that Daisy is serving!
MK Steak + Bar has an atmosphere that’s truly top-notch—modern yet warm, somewhere between a speakeasy and an Aspen lodge. The lighting, seating, and overall ambiance make the space feel incredibly welcoming. Our server, Justin, was kind, attentive, and helpful with menu questions, which made the experience even better.
The No-Loma mocktail was a bit too tart for my taste, but the wine list was beautifully curated and very fairly priced. For starters, the Cold Bar Ahi Tuna with wonton crisps was delicious, though definitely soy-forward—so if you’re not a soy fan, you may want to try something else. The filet lollipops were light, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. They’re extra thin, so keep that in mind when choosing your preferred temperature.
The baked French onion soup was outstanding—rich, hearty, and honestly something I’d come back for on its own. (I did find a bay leaf in mine, so just a small heads-up!) My 6oz filet came out a bit under (ordered medium, served medium-rare), but the flavor was fantastic. You can tell they’re cooking over a real fire—the subtle smokiness adds depth without overpowering the meat. The Caesar salad was also very good.
We finished with the “Beignets,” which are more like powdered donuts than traditional beignets, but when served warm they were tasty and satisfying.
Overall, MK Steak + Bar impressed me across the board—from ambiance to pricing—and I’d love to come back with a larger group to explore even more of the menu. Very pleased with the experience and will definitely return!

Fantastic. My new favorite place. We have been to the sister restaurant Rebel, and enjoy that one very much. The rib eye steak was one of the two best I’ve ever had. Done perfectly! And just enough searing. The potatoes au gratin were so good my cheese hating friend loved them. The creamed spinach had flavor which usually it doesn’t. And the little side of roasted garlic reminded me of a bistro near Watertower years ago.

1st visit to MK Steak and we were very impressed. We were seated right away and started with wine and cocktails ( spicy Bees Knees was awesome!). Our server, Chelsea, was knowledgeable, friendly and tentative. Atmosphere was lively but not loud.
Both our entrees were cooked to perfection. My husband, who knows his steaks, was pleasantly surprised to hear the steaks are from Meats by Linz. His steak was amazing- great flavor. I had the scallops, which were also very good. The baked French Onion soup was hot and cheese was nicely browned.
We were too full for dessert but saw a few being served. So wish I had saved room! We will be back!
