    We finally tried Steak 48 and it definitely lives up to the hype! Had a wonderful Christmas eve early dinner. It was a treat to sit at the bar-James, the bartender was friendly, made excellent drinks & further detailed the menu. We ordered the crisp shrimp appetizer, bone-in rib-eye, bone-in filet & roasted cauliflower. All were fantastic, cooked perfectly/as we ordered & came out sizzling hot. Quality of food is superb, as was the service and ambiance. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks, James & Steak 48!

    This was the second year that I was able to celebrate my birthday at Steak 48, and again, it did not disappoint. They really make you feel special on your special day, and the food and service were outstanding. Thank you for making our dining experience an absolute pleasure. We will definitely be back again for another wondering evening out.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10) As a restaurant owner myself, I have a deep appreciation for what it takes to create an outstanding dining experience, and Steak 48 truly excels in every aspect. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. The staff at Steak 48 are nothing short of amazing; they are friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional. Every member of the team, from the servers to the bussers, demonstrated a high level of knowledge about the menu and were eager to make recommendations that perfectly suited my taste. Their excellent service made me feel valued and well taken care of throughout my meal. Now, let’s talk about the food! The steaks were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and tenderness that left me craving more. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main dishes beautifully. Overall, I can confidently give Steak 48 a perfect score of 10. As someone who understands the intricacies of the restaurant business, I can genuinely say that if you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience with top-notch service and delicious food, look no further than Steak 48. I can’t wait to return!

    I had the pleasure of dining at Steak 48 last night to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The level of attentiveness was exceptional, beginning with the thoughtful text and phone call confirmations, during which they even asked for my husband's name. Upon arrival, our server greeted us with a personalized birthday card for him—such a special touch that set the tone for the evening. The food was nothing short of amazing, with options to suit every palate. We started with the calamari and shrimp, both of which were perfectly cooked and delicious. The beet salad was also outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For our entrées, we chose the bone-in filet mignon, and I can confidently say it was the best steak I've ever had. It was so tender and flavorful that the steak knife was almost unnecessary. We complemented the meal with sides of au gratin potatoes and Brussels sprouts, both of which were expertly prepared and incredibly satisfying. Since it was a birthday celebration, my husband received a complimentary dessert that was decadent and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The ambiance at Steak 48 is just as noteworthy as the food. The sophisticated yet lively atmosphere made for an enjoyable dining experience, with the buzz of happy conversations all around. To top it all off, I received a follow-up call from the restaurant today to ensure that our experience met expectations and to thank us for choosing them for our celebration. This attention to detail is rare and deeply appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Steak 48 to anyone seeking a high-end dining experience. It was a night to remember, and I can’t wait to return!

    Spent our anniversary here. The staff were so wonderful and made us feel so welcome and waited on us hand and foot. The meal was decadent, the best I've had in years. We're coming back every year from here on in.
