Simply can’t beat this deal. Food was great and so was the service. My wife and I have been twice and each the the service was excellent. I’ve told friends and family about their Groupon deal and they jumped on it. I’m now a spokesman. Looking forward to the next time to try something different even though the steak was so good.

My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to Steak 48. My husband had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly snd I had the rack of lamb which was delicious. We had the augratin potato side dish which was very good and the caramel cake for dessert! The service was excellent—Christian was very attentive and personable. My only complaint was the music was just a tad too loud but other than that a great experience
