Mark and Terri Stark's steakhouse fills a Railroad Square building where Santa Rosa has dined since 1967. Mark Stark picks the beef himself, from a 28-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye to hickory smoked prime rib and filet mignon, with toppers priced à la carte. Lobster a la plancha and chilled oysters cover the sea, and the Lounge pours sixty-plus whiskeys.

Stark's Steak and Seafood is the flagship of Mark and Terri Stark, the restaurateurs behind several well-known Santa Rosa rooms. They bought the landmark building on Adams Street in Railroad Square in December 2006, opened Stark's Steakhouse in January 2008 after a full renovation, and renamed it Stark's Steak and Seafood in the fall of 2011 as the seafood side of the menu grew. The building has a long life as a restaurant: it was home to Michele's Italian Restaurant from 1967 to 2006, so Santa Rosa has been sitting down to dinner here for nearly sixty years. Mark Stark, the executive chef, selects all of the beef himself, from Certified Angus to American Kobe and Certified Piedmontese. The result is a modern steakhouse in an old Santa Rosa setting, polished but not stiff.

Menu Highlights

Beyond the steaks, the kitchen's signatures run to lobster a la plancha, scallops and A5 Wagyu for a special night, with the Standard Burger as the easy option at the bar. Steaks come with a choice of toppers and sauces priced à la carte, so each table can build the meal it wants. The bar is a draw on its own, with more than sixty whiskeys on the shelf, and Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 in the Lounge. Service is attentive without fuss, and the dining room suits a celebration as well as a weeknight dinner. Reserve ahead for weekend evenings, and arrive a little early for a drink in the Lounge before you sit down.
