Beautiful place to celebrate intimate occasions. My wife and I felt very welcomed and the service was amazing. The food was amazing as well. Literally had a reservation at another steakhouse but cancelled last minute and found this gem. Thank goodness 🙌🏽 Will be back when we come back to Chicago!
Very good. Steak was cooked impeccably, hint go one higher. Appetizers were very good. All dishes were good and we had a great time. Good cocktails, service was also good. Not a very high end steak house but they do try the best, price is good and would go there again.
Classy! Cozy! Our waitress, Yazmin (Yaddy) set our evening on fire!! She provided SUPERIOR service! She made of feel like we were the only couple in the restaurant. She gave us her knowledge and detailed recommendations of every item we referenced. She was kind, humorous, patient, and knowledgeable!! It was my husband's 80th birthday 🎂 celebration and she made it SPECTACULAR! He was lavished with gifts!!! One of the gifts was his favorite... a huge key lime pie!!! It was big enough to serve 6 ppl.
Steak 48 delivered one of the most fabulous dinners I have ever had. I attended as part of a catered group, and everything was outstanding from start to finish. The private dining room was incredibly spacious and beautifully arranged for our group of about 40 to 45 people, which made the evening feel both elegant and comfortable. We were served four different appetizers, followed by a choice of two salads, and then our entrées. I chose the steak, and it was absolutely scrumptious. It was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. To top it all off, we were served their signature dessert, which was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. This is truly a must-visit restaurant in Chicago. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were exceptional. Do not miss it!
We’ve been here several times and have dined both at a table and at the bar, and it’s an amazing experience either way, but the bar is hands down our favorite spot. It’s probably our favorite steakhouse bar in Chicago. I can’t fully explain it, but it feels cozier and livelier than most others. There’s just a great energy without it feeling chaotic. One thing we really love is that you can actually reserve bar seating on OpenTable, which isn’t common at most steakhouses. That alone makes it such an easy choice when we’re planning a night out. Our go to is splitting a few apps, sharing a perfectly cooked steak, and enjoying a bottle of wine. It’s the best kind of dinner ritual. The staff always does an incredible job accommodating everyone and making the experience feel seamless and special. Honestly, I usually come back and just want the shishito peppers & torched scallops. So simple, so good. Yum.
