STK Atlanta Announces Matt Rainey as New Executive Chef

With the arrival of 2014, The ONE Group formally welcomed Matt Rainey as the new executive chef of STK Atlanta. Formerly with the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, Rainey brings a wealth of experience to Midtown’s favorite steakhouse.  With a passion for using fresh, seasonal ingredients and tapping local purveyors, Chef Rainey’s winter menu features an array of new offerings while making sure STK’s signature mainstays continue to impress.  

“I’m deeply committed to making sure our guests have an exceptional dining and social experience with each visit to STK. I’m excited to introduce new seasonal dishes that not only embrace, but reflect our city’s distinct personality and culture,” says Chef Rainey.     

Artfully blending two concepts into one—a modern reincarnation of a steakhouse and a chic lounge, diners are invited to enjoy high quality steaks along with Chef Rainey’s new specialty entrees and innovative side dishes, appetizers, salads, and desserts. Mouthwatering starters like the Lump Crab Salad, Beef Tartare, and lil’ BRGRs remain on the menu while Roasted Beet Carpaccio, Grilled Spanish Octopus, a delicious Buratta Salad, and an updated version of the Seared Scallops have all been added. His new seasonally influenced entrees include a Chili Rubbed Lamb Rack, Pan Roasted Branzino, and Miso Glazed Sea Bass.  Guests with a sweet tooth can dive into new dessert options like the Almond Fudge Brownie; Bag o’ Donuts – apple cider donuts topped with caramel and bourbon sauces; Banana Cream Pie; and Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. Both STK’s popular Birthday Cake dessert and signature ICE STK mini ice cream cone sampler will continue to delight.

Diners wanting to imbibe will find an impressive wine and spirit list along with creative signature cocktails. Staples like the Cucumber Stiletto made with Grey Goose Citron, St. Germaine, fresh lime juice, cucumber, and mint; the Green Intensity - Grey Goose Vodka, lime juice, Serrano chili slices, and basil leaves; and the Strawberry Cobbler made from Belvedere Vodka, muddled fresh strawberries with a graham cracker crusted rim are ideal for sipping in STK’s high-energy lounge or to compliment a meal in the bistro or stylish scene-and-be-seen dining room. 

Chef Rainey’s new winter menu is available now.
