STK Orlando is a modern steakhouse and lounge in The Landing at Disney Springs, blending high-end dining with a nightlife-driven atmosphere. Opened on May 25, 2016, it was part of the major Disney Springs transformation that turned the former Downtown Disney district into a more polished shopping, dining, and entertainment destination. From the beginning, STK was designed to feel different from a traditional steakhouse. It serves premium cuts of beef and seafood, but the mood is intentionally louder, sleeker, and more social than the dark, clubby steakhouse model guests might expect.
The restaurant occupies a large, two-story space with contemporary décor, ambient lighting, a main dining room DJ, lounge areas, an indoor fire-pit setting, and a rooftop terrace. That scale and energy make it one of the more visually prominent restaurants in The Landing, especially for guests looking for a dinner that can transition into a night out. The rooftop is a major part of the appeal, giving the restaurant an outdoor Disney Springs component that works well for drinks, small plates, or a more energetic evening meal.
The menu centers on steaks, with a range of cuts, sauces, toppings, seafood, shellfish, salads, sides, desserts, and cocktails. STK also offers brunch, happy hour, and special dining promotions, which help broaden its use beyond formal dinner. For some guests, it is a celebration restaurant; for others, it is a cocktail-and-appetizer stop before continuing through Disney Springs.
STK reflects the mid-2010s shift in Disney Springs dining. Disney brought in more outside restaurant groups, celebrity chefs, and recognizable upscale brands to make the district competitive with major urban dining destinations. STK fit that strategy by offering something Walt Disney World had relatively little of: a steakhouse built as much around atmosphere, music, and nightlife as around the food itself.
STK Orlando’s notoriety comes from that contrast. It is not quiet, nostalgic, or heavily Disney-themed. It is glossy, energetic, adult-oriented, and often polarizing for guests who prefer a more traditional steakhouse experience. But for visitors who want a lively, upscale meal in Disney Springs with cocktails, music, rooftop seating, and a contemporary lounge feel, STK remains one of the district’s most distinctive dining options.
