   Best dining experience in San Diego. We absolutely love it here. Very special occasion place — the service is impeccable, caring knowledgeable, prompt. Food, remarkable, amazing. Phillip is the best waiter you could ever ask for - so attentive and excellent at what he does. Hudson assisted and he was fantastic too. Manager Justin and other managers were great to stop by too. All the staff give such a personalized attention. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and can’t imagine a better place to go.

   Always a treat to eat here when in town. The bone-in filet was prepared perfectly.

   We took our family out to a celebratory dinner at Steak 48. It was the first time dining for the entire group of seven. Everything was amazing, from the food to the service. There wasn't a single dish that we didn't enjoy. We all ordered steak except for one diner that ordered the seabass. Even the fish was fantastic. There were a few specials, one of which was the A5 wagyu filet mignon from Japan. I decided to splurge, as I usually get a standard petite filet, and it was the best filet I've ever had. Nearly everyone at the table tried it and all agreed it was the best steak we had ever tried. Even though the dining experience is on the pricey side I would highly recommend Steak 48 for a special night out. The food is amazing, but the service really exceeded our expectation. From the hostess to the waitstaff, everyone was so attentive and an overall pleasure. They all do it right and we will definitely be back again. It's our new favorite steak house in San Diego.

   A bucket list for my wife and family. The steaks and appetizers are amazing. Great wine list to choose from. The beignets are to die for.

   This place deserves 6 stars. Our favorite place in San Diego, not only because of the food, but also because of the STELLAR service. We will come back again and again and again.

   We have had the pleasure of eating at Steak 48 several times recently. While it is clearly important to talk about the food in a restaurant review, the element that truly stands out is service. From the time you drop your car at the valet and walk into the hostess area and then taken back to your table, to the captain brings your bill, the level of touch and care is rather extraordinary. And as we have repeated, the level of care seems to increase as the wait staff has incredible memories for detail and go out of their way to make sure you know how much they appreciate your coming back. One anecdotal example of the level of service happened a few nights ago when my wife quietly told another guest at our table that the AC was directed on her and she was getting a bit chilled. A few minutes later, the area captain walked up with a shawl and asked my wife if this might make her a bit warmer. We did not see any wait staff around the table when my wife made the comment, but clearly someone heard it, passed it along, and a fix was delivered. Major positive impression. As to food, the menu is truly extensive and the wine list is robust--even the standard one on the back of the menu has great options (before you even open the reserve list). The appetizer list is huge, not even including the seafood tower and caviar options. Steak variety is bountiful and all have been cooked to our request. We have also tried several seafood entrees and all have been spot on. After dinner options have provided a variety of options and all have been very good. Lots of different seating options from regular tables to glassed-off booths and private dining rooms. For me, the noise level is a bit high, but not glaringly so. It is difficult to find faults with this restaurant. We recommend it heartily.

    If you've NOT you have to give S48 a shot, it's our new restaurant - why? several reasons - the facility is contemporary in design and just fun. Interacting with staff on your to your seat is top notch shows commitment to C-service. Food experience is flat out cool and table staff are as professional as it gets. Give'um a try...
