It was our first time at Steak 48 and our experience was phenomenal. I made reservations for the Thanksgiving holiday and early birthday meal for my father. Food and service did not disappoint. My father was extremely impressed. It is now at the top of our list for steaks. Spencer was an absolute treat to have as our server.

We FINALLY made it down from Carlsbad and took advantage of the “Proper Roast Dinner with Richard Blais.” Our first time here was well worth it! The restaurant is GORGEOUS! The staff, engaging and very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious prime rib dinner with wonderful sides. Everything was meticulously prepared and delicious! King Richard visited our table a few times which made our experience extra special. The sticky toffee and date cake with salted caramel ice cream is a MUST!!! Sooooo good! We will be back to try the famous ale battered cod and chips and the prime rib dip sando…
