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

Everything here was so fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully crafted. From the drinks to the nigiri to the sushi rolls… it was all so delicious. The staff were knowledgeable and personable. They really took the experience from great to incredible. Definitely found a new go to date spot - could not recommend O-Ku enough!
