⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MK Steak + Bar – Glen Ellyn
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!

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!

Wonderful restaurant with a beautiful cocktail lounge and delicious menu items! The vibe is modern, moody and romantic with dark lighting. Perfect for date nights, girls night or a group dinner. The steak chimichurri was delicious and the shrimp cocktail is my favorite appetizer. Highly recommend but it’s busy so better to make a reservation!

We were excited to try the new MK’s in Glen Ellyn but we’re disappointed on a few levels. The vibe is great but the noise level made it impossible for all four of us to participate in any conversation. My Apple Watch even warned me that we were in a dangerously loud environment! We started with the crab cake which was delicious but maybe not worth the $25 asking price. We don’t mind paying more for quality and flavor but overall our palates were disappointed throughout the meal. The wine and cocktails were very good. I ordered the cowboy bone-in ribeye. The menu didn’t say it had a bone so Stacey our server had to check with the chef to make sure. So I agreed to pop for this $68 steak and ordered it medium rare. It came out staunchly “medium” and a little tough. I’m not one to complain but I did let Stacey know my disappointment. She brought the manager who looked at my steak and said he’d buy us dessert because my steak was overcooked. My wife’s au Gratin potatoes were barely warm and Stacey took them back to the kitchen to heat up, which meant she ate most of her meal before they finally came back to the table. Our friend ordered the New York Strip which came out with a bone, which he didn’t order (the bone-in NY Strip costs $20 more so Stacey adjusted our bill for the mistake). The Strip was also a little tough and lacked tenderness and juice. The other two meals were good, not great and certainly not worth the hefty prices. Overall I felt Stacey was our advocate against a kitchen that’s not ready for prime time. If you want to try MK’s now on a weekend, bring earplugs and order the salmon, not a steak. I don’t mind paying $230 for two people (before a 20% tip) if the food lives up to basic epicurean civility. MK’s does not. The separate bar area had a good vibe and was a little more quiet than the restaurant so you might want to eat there and spend less. We still enjoyed a lovely evening with our friends so we hope MK improves because it would be nice to have a great steak restaurant in Glen Ellyn.

Date night at MK Steak and overall a very solid experience—though definitely a splurge.
We were greeted and seated immediately, which set a good tone. The space feels like a modern steakhouse with dark decor and marble tables, but it runs loud. Conversation across a two-top was tough at times. This isn’t a cozy, linger-all-night kind of spot—it’s energetic and efficient.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable, confident, and paced the meal well. We were in and out in about an hour without ever feeling rushed. When an entrée missed the mark, they handled it perfectly (more on that below).
Food highlights started strong. The East Coast oysters were fantastic—fresh and clean. The tuna tartare was excellent, especially the miso sauce, which really made the dish. Easily the standout of the night.
My wife had the 6 oz filet with parmesan crust and creamed spinach. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, though the parmesan crust felt unnecessary. The creamed spinach was rich, delicious, and a massive portion—enough for several people.
I ordered the sea scallops with grilled asparagus. Unfortunately, the scallops and shaved Brussels sprouts underneath were extremely salty and basically inedible. The asparagus was fine but nothing special. That said, the staff immediately removed the dish from the bill and even sent us home with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake. No pushback, no awkwardness—top-tier service.
Drinks were mixed. The Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre were both great. The classic daiquiri, however, was a miss—pulpy, icy, and overly acidic. It needed better balance and a proper strain.
Value-wise, this is pricey for the suburbs and feels more like downtown Chicago pricing. This isn’t a place you come for deals or regular dinners. It’s for special occasions, impressing someone, or expensing dinner.
Bottom line: MK Steak doesn’t necessarily stand out for groundbreaking food, but the service is exceptional and the high points are very good. Cost keeps it from being a 5-star spot, but if you’re ready to splurge, it delivers a polished experience.

The service and ambiance is great but if you are looking for great food, I would recommend going somewhere else. I was part of a table of 4 and everyone thought the food was not great. Let’s just say…. had they named themselves MK: STEAK + SALT” their food would make sense.

We went to MK for our Valentine’s Day dinner and it was absolutely phenomenal! The prix fixe menu offered great options.The steak was cooked perfectly, the dessert was delicious, and every course felt thoughtfully prepared.
Even though the restaurant was very busy for the holiday, everything ran smoothly. The hosts were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, which set a wonderful tone for the evening. We also tried all of the Valentine’s specialty drinks — each one was a fun addition to the experience.
A special thank you to our server Coleen, who provided outstanding service and made the evening even more enjoyable.
Overall, an amazing dining experience and a perfect place for a special occasion. We will definitely be back!

Tonight was our second time here. The first was a group of 5 in a booth, and the second was just the two of us at a table inside the bar area. Both times service and food were excellent. Tonight Chastity set us up right, we had crab avocado salad to start and shared the filet lollipops and the sautéed prawns. The music was great, not too loud. We will be back again as a couple or a group. Really enjoy the atmosphere, food, and company. Last note, my partner called around 7 to see if we could get a table in the bar area, and they were very accommodating.

My husband and I went to dinner on Valentine’s Day at MK.. we were told in advance that the restaurant was doing a pre-fixe menu, which was fine with us so we kept the reservation. We arrived at 6:15 pm and were promptly seated. Bread arrived quickly and our waitress shortly after to take our drink orders and decide on our starter.
My husband ordered the MK martini which was mostly vermouth, and we ordered a $100 bottle of wine. When the wine came our waitress showed me the bottle and I initially only noticed the brand name so I didn’t realize until after drinking it that she brought a $52 bottle of wine, she was no where to be found so we ended up just drinking it and figured we’d mention it if the bill showed $100 at the end of the night.
Our house salad was.. fine.. nothing special. The filet lollipops were tough and overcooked. The crab cake was fine, although may I add that on the menu it was called a “crap cake” that was fixed with a pen… I’m embarrassed for them that they chose to put those menus out.
Following the appetizers we chose a filet (medium) and the NY strip (medium rare). It took over an hour for the steaks to arrive and when they did they were so overcooked we had to send them back. Our waitress took the steaks back and left us with our asparagus and no forks or plates so we couldn’t eat that while it was warm. She said the manager would be by. Manager comes over and says “the new steaks will be out shortly” not a single apology..
New steaks come back.. overall fine.. not something I’d rush back to eat. Our waitress also brought us complimentary mashed potatoes with the new steaks.
She really was nonexistent throughout the night. She finally comes back to take our dessert order.. we ordered the lava cake.
We waited 40 minutes for the lava cake to come and the ice cream was already melted and the lava cake wasn’t warmed and the waitress stated “my manager is doing the desserts so hope it’s okay”. It wasn’t. We immediately asked for the check because we had now been there for 3 hours.
The check comes and as you’d imagine the wine was listed as $100, so I shared the concern and she immediately blames the bar, because it was the bottle she was given.
She fixed the check and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
As a side note, the ladies restroom had no toilet paper and there were no back up rolls anywhere.
Will never go back and highly recommend you don’t waste your time or money.

We enjoyed an early evening Sunday dinner! Debbie was a knowledgeable and attentive server. The lobster Rockefeller was the star of the evening. Three perfectly cooked lobster tails beautifully nestled into the shell with spinach, bacon, puddles of melted clarified butter presented on a bed of micro greens. Heavenly creation. If you love lobster, your palette will rejoice! The horseradish crust created an enjoyable touch to the dry-aged ribeye! We saw other dishes we’d like to try, so we will be back!
