    Update: After my first bad review, I decided to give steak 48 another chance. They seated me late for my reservation when we came to the table they took time to take our drink order. Their shrimp was overcooked and very rubbery. Their calamari was mediocre at best. Their non-alcoholic cocktails coconut lime passionfruit was very bad. The bread is also very greasy. Their Lemon passionfruit non-alcoholic cocktail was actually very good. They overcooked the shrimp beans dish and the calamari and fried shrimp was not very good either. The steaks were not bad. Their warm butter cake dessert was good. After the second experience, I don’t think I’ll be back. I was left thoroughly disappointed.

    Felix at the bar was very attentive and friendly. Martini pricey but honestly more like two martinis. Definitely worth it!

    This is our new place to go to for celebrating our birthdays and other important events in our lives. The staff is always on top of things. JP was our waiter for the night and he had amazing recommendations, attentive, and just an overall pleasure to interact with all night. Food was delicious as always, in our opinion, it’s better than Ruth’s Chris or any other steak house we’ve been to in the past. We cannot wait to come back.

    We celebrated our anniversary and it was my first time at Steak 48. They sat us is a private booth where we also had an excellent view of the kitchen. It felt like a very special seat and we have a little one at home, so we were happy to be sitting there and feel like we had time where it was just us. The ambience was fantastic and our server Armin was amazing! He was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. He came over enough to make sure he out needs were met, but also gave us time to ourselves. He made us feel welcome and at home. He and the rest of the staff definitely made our night special. I hope Steak 48 knows what amazing employee they have. We also received a card, wishing us a happy anniversary and received a call from the general manager of the next day to make sure we had a great experience.  Oh also, you have to get the staff’s favorite dessert! It was an Oreo ice cream cake, and truly one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Overall we had a wonderful experience!

    A modern version of the "Steakhouse", wonderful appetizers, salad and entrees (the steaks are phenomenal!!). Everything, and I mean everything, was outstanding - the service, food and ambiance. A "10" all the way around, they don't miss a thing!
