Service was impeccable, atmosphere was perfect. The food was the best I’ve experienced. The staff was very informative and friendly. I’ve never seen so many drink choices. Yes it’s spendy but once you’ve enjoyed a meal here you will understand and appreciate the experience. There is a mandatory minimum 20% tip which I didn’t see stated anywhere but trust me, they earn it and we even added more to that. It’s so worth the money. Be hungry when you go because the portions are ample.

The overall experience of dining at Steak 48 was great but the prices are excessive and that will definitely impact when or if I will return. It could be one-and-done.

A friend and I were seeing a show tonight in the city. Dinner first at Steak 48 was fantastic. From the moment we stepped inside, service was top notch. Always a great atmosphere, tonight was no different. The shrimp deviled eggs were out of this world and the French old fashioned was smooth. We had the luxury of having Trace as our server. She made the experience. Her knowledge of the menu and recommendations were outstanding! Don’t miss the butter cake with carmel sauce. 10/10

Everything was amazing! Firstly, I want to mention I was celebrating a birthday. I called in advance to see what Steak 48 does in regard to celebrating and they went all out with the rose petals and the free dessert. They had also done well with the seating, as we got to watch the kitchen in action. They additionally had a beautiful rose bouquet (add in for $15). Raul was our waiter and he was outstanding! He was very polite, funny, and overall great. We would come back just for him. The restaurant is beautiful. The food was wonderful and fresh out of the kitchen (we can tell as the plates were sizzling. lol). It was a wonderful experience with a great value. Would go again and again!

Everything was amazing including the $16 fries. But it’s hard to believe that simple fries are $16. Nonetheless, amazing experience—best filet I’ve ever had in my life.
