    Great choice for lunch or dinner. Variety of interesting cocktails. Chips are served with salsas and bean dip. Nice salad mains and the duo of enchiladas with mole and green sauce are delicious.

    Outstanding dinner & service We shared 16oz filet mignon served family style & the lobster which was as the appetizer but we had both served family style together, as a side we had the potatoes sliced. It was all excellent. Abigail our server was very attentive to all our requests & service was perfect. You will never go wrong having dinner at Steak 48.

    I had a friend in from Charlotte, NC who I had not seen for sometime. West End was a perfect setting to catch up and reminisce. Fernanda and Christian's service was outstanding as always. Upon my recommendation, my friend had the clam chowder (one of the best in San Diego) and the salmon burger - he loved everything. My meal was enjoyable as always. Thank you all for making this special lunch so nice. See you again soon.
