    This amazing establishment is stellar in its attention to detail. The dining experience was exceptional. They seated us in a great private dining table which was by far the best table in the house. They made this special night a festive event. This private dining room allowed us to watch the kitchen staff exude their culinary mastery of food prep. A real treat for foodies. Thank you again for making it a wonderful evening.

    First time at Steak 48 celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. We had such an amazing experience and food was so good. Jp and Jacob were our servers and they were the best! We ordered all their recommendations and the manager even HAND WROTE a personalized birthday card. Such a beautiful detail. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

    Staff was friendly and attentive and very helpful to us dealing with one of our party that had too much to drink. It was very embarrassing for us and the staff made us feel the best we could under the circumstances

    We have come to steak 48 several times. We love it. This time the service wasnt the best. They forgot our appetizer and bottle of wine we ordered had to ask for both…. And i had quite a bit of my fillet left and asked them to box it with our other left overs and they did not. $80 steak and didnt get to take it home :( this was dissapointing.

    It was AMAZING!! The service was top notch. Servers were on top of everything. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our birthdays. I mentioned it when I made the reservation and they wrote out a nice card for us. I was fortunate enough and blessed to be gifted a new heart last year as well. We mentioned it and within a few minutes the manager wrote me a very nice note congratulating me. That was so sweet and very kind. Now the food was so unbelievably delicious. The bread you get was so soft and flaky. It looked like the can cinnamon rolls you buy, but with butter on them. They tasted fresh. I could have just ate that all night. The steaks were ordered a 12 oz Filet and a 22 oz Ribeye were so so so good. I had the filet with a crusted blue cheese top......WOW. It was grilled to perfection. As soon as it hit my palate, I was done. My girl loved her Ribeye. I think she only ate about half and had an entire steak to take home. The sides were really good as well. When they bring them to the table, the server actually serves them from the dish to your plate. We barely touched them. We were already full from the steaks. The great thing about place was the free desserts they gave us. We got a Key Lime pie and a Triple Chocolate Bombe. My grandson and I were tearing the pie up. It was decadent and sweet and tart. Delicious. We haven't tried the chocolate yet but I know it's great. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be going back for the experience. When I read the statement on there website about it being an experience and dress up I know it would be nice. They did not disappoint. Love this steakhouse. Make a reservation and run there.

    The sea bass I had was perfectly cooked as always! We ordered a bunch of extra sides- cauliflower, mushrooms, fries, au gratin potatoes, etc… and it was all expertly prepared and delicious! And the triple chocolate bomb for dessert- wow!- I don’t even know how to describe it other than decadent! Our glass booth along the outer edge of the restaurant was much more private. I was thankful to the staff for putting us here!

    To start the first impression was very bad starting at the hostess stand, where no one greets you. Later on we were served water in a very smelly glasses that the waiter and the manager came three times to change them and they smelled it themselves and and they brought us a wine glasses to use instead. The food was OK. The place was very loud so is the music. The waiter was great again service at the table was very well. Food quality very average. I think there are a better choices in San Diego.

    Overall food was great, however our server was a bit inattentive and spilled a plate of Mac n cheese on the floor by our table splattering a few peoples clothes and shoes. Had to move our chairs and stop eating while they cleaned - No apology or credit for the inconvenience was disappointing
