My twin sister and I celebrated our birthday here on Tuesday night and we were treated like royalty from the moment we pulled up to the valet. Upon entry, we were greeting by the beautiful hostess who confirmed and advised our table would be ready shortly. We were led to our table by the hostess, who then presented both of us with a beautiful birthday card from Steak 48. How thoughtful! Afterwards, our waiter presented the amazing bread to the table. Our waitress then arrived and recorded our order and checked on us constantly throughout the night. The care and concern for our dining experience made our birthday dinner spectacular! We will definitely return for another great experience!!

our server Kaitlin and the bussing staff made this particular time at the Terrace very special. She knew the menu from the top of her head. She timed everything perfectly. We had a friend with two toddlers and she helped get them coloring books that kept them entertained the entire time. We visit the Terrace at least once a month and its always great but this time, a little more so. Plinio Garcia
