My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to Steak 48. My husband had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly snd I had the rack of lamb which was delicious. We had the augratin potato side dish which was very good and the caramel cake for dessert! The service was excellent—Christian was very attentive and personable. My only complaint was the music was just a tad too loud but other than that a great experience

We had an amazing time at the Stonecrest location. Love the decor and new redesign. Food was outstanding and I appreciate that they have taken the time to develop a thoughtful second menu with delectable gluten-free and vegan options. Probably the best in Charlotte. The staff was attentive and the service was great. This is now our new favorite.
