    Ocean’s 48 Steakhouse provided a solid dining experience with a great mix of fresh seafood and premium steaks. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for a date night or a special occasion. The steaks were expertly cooked—tender, flavorful, and paired with creative sides that elevated the dish. Their seafood offerings, like the grilled scallops and lobster tail, were fresh and perfectly seasoned. The wine list was extensive, offering excellent pairings for the dishes. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. While the prices were on the higher side, the quality of the food and overall experience made it worthwhile. Overall, Ocean’s 48 was a fantastic spot for an indulgent meal and a memorable evening.

    We had Cesar salads, 45 days aged ribeye, octopus, hamachi crudo and Branzino. Little disappointed in the steak, especially for the price but everything else was great! Service was amazing and we will definitely be back.
