    We were first seated at a cold table. The hostess was cheerfully accommodating to reseat us. Noise level varies by location. We were blessed with a less noisy table than the first one. Food was excellent and after my husband did not think his medium was cooked medium enough they warmed it and returned it. He was pleased with the result. Soup, salad, bread, filets, wine and dessert were excellent. Our server was good too

    Everything about our dining experience tonight was spectacular. The food, service, staff were great. The duck confit was delicious. As were the scallops on the half shell and the grilled octopus ceviche. It’s one of our favorite restaurants. We haven’t been there in a while but will be back again soon. It’s worth it for a special evening!

    Steak 48 exceeded all my expectations, providing a dining experience that was nothing short of phenomenal. The highlight of the evening was the impeccable service from Ryjane. She was the epitome of professionalism—attentive, knowledgeable, and flawless in her execution. Her genuine warmth and efficiency elevated the entire experience, making us feel truly valued as guests. The food was equally outstanding! From the perfectly cooked, tender steak to the delectable sides and appetizers, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s expertise and attention to detail. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, and the presentation was just as impressive. Steak 48 is the perfect spot for a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Kudos to Ryjane for making the evening truly exceptional!
