My daughter and felt like celebrities for the evening from start to finish. The atmosphere was of what has only been seen in movies. The evening was glamorous from beginning to the end. Steak 48 was and is the only place to experience fine dining as it should be achieved. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff from the front to the back. Out extreme praises to the house chef and staff for an absolutely well presented, mouth-watering and satisfying dining experience. We will definitely be dining with Steak 48 again. ♥️🙏🏽😇

Our server was amazing and the food was delicious! The only issue was that they listed cilantro lime rice on the menu (which my daughter loves) but actually they serve plain white rice. Other than that it was a fantastic experience!

Food was great, our waiter was attentive and we were not rushed. We unknowingly ordered guacamole that was $33 and we were only two people so that was a bit of a sticker shock - and unnecessary because it was way too much. Other than this, good experience.
