We dined at Steak 48 in Beverly Hills to celebrate my wife hitting a significant milestone at work. The staff and team did a phenomenal job helping us create an experience she will not forget. Johnny our server was fantastic and did a great job on menu selection and recommended the perfect dessert where they captured her accomplishment. Thank you Steak 48 for the great food and helping us celebrate.

James, or server was outstanding — he explained the options (gave us recommendations) and was attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent and the pace comfortable to allow us to visit with friends we hadn’t seen for awhile.

Lovely setting and really appreciated seating request at window. Glad we were away from lively (ie noisy) bar area. Food was very good and I loved the anchovies I asked to be added to the excellent Caesar salad. Service was attentive after a bit of a slow start. Good choice for special occasions or to treat visitors to a historical venue.
