Very impressive experience. The staff are all polite, attentive and professional. The food was well prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was quiet and intimate, although that may have only been the room we were sitting in. The restaurant presents several unique touches that make the experience overall worth the price.

We've been going to the various "best" local steakhouses and this is absolutely the best experience so far. Top notch service and great food. Yea it's pricy, but that's expected. Our server, Sam, gave us great recommendations all night. Would definitely come back for a special occasion.

Long wait to be seated and served. Staff were good, but overwhelmed by the volume of customers. More of a night club ambience than a classic steak house experience. The food and wine was not worth the money.

You NEED to eat here! Service 10/10, Food 10/10. Aris was our waiter and he was so kind and helpful. Will be going back for my birthday in August. The shells and cheese, praline sweet potatoes, meatballs, and mashed potatoes were our favorite dishes. Steaks were seasoned well and tender! Drinks were amazing and strong!

So there is a lot to unpack here especially having dinner on a jammed Saturday night in January. The four of us arrived about 20 minutes early of our reservation so to pass the time of course we went to the bar to order a round of drinks. Kudos to the bartender who came around the bar to us to take our order. That was a nice touch and start to the evening. After 20 minutes or so (again we were early), we were seated in the back area. It was a secluded area that allowed the four of us to have a conversation in their booth. That was a real nice touch! Our server was amazing and very helpful on the food and wine suggestions in addition to sharing what the specials were. We started off with the Crispy Shrimp Deviled Eggs and 6 daily suggestions of the Chef's Oysters. Both were great but we loved their take on Deviled Eggs. So good. The only negative was their Wedge Salad. I love a Wedge Salad prior to a steak but my god there was waaaaay too much Blue Cheese Dressing. It was overwhelming to the point where the crunch of the salad was not available. My order for steak was their 45 day Dry Aged Bone In Rib Eye which was delicious on the outside but a tad tough in the middle. I ordered this medium rare and I think the issue is the hot plate its served on. We had this issue before in Houston at another steak restaurant and asked not to have the steak served on a hot plate as it's supposed to rest instead of "keeping it warm". I should've sent it back but I didn't since my Casamigos drink was kicking in. They acknowledged it was our anniversary so that was a nice recognition by offering a comp dessert. Thank you. On their website they mention how they prefer a jacket and button up shirt. However I did see a mix of people who took hold to their dress code and some who didn't so in other words don't overthink their dress code. Dress to your comfort but don't look like you rolled out of bed. Valet parking is available unless you wish to park at a nearby garage and take the short walk.

We went in to celebrate our wedding anniversary and from the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. All of the staff was amazing. Once we were sat our server (Blake) came by and told us about specials, cocktails and appetizers. We took his suggestions and they didn’t disappoint. The Ribeye, Chilean Sea Bass, creamed corn and Brussels were great. I tried the espresso martini which I loved. I was afraid it would be too sweet but it wasn’t.

Steak48 is a Wonderful spot for a birthday dinner or celebration... everything is curated with flavor and sheer perfection. The sea bass, salmon, ribeye, scalloped potatoes, and tempura asparagus were excellent. The vanilla cake is amazing as well. 10s across the board!

I had the night's house special at Steak 48 — a Branzino in a creamy sauce that was absolutely amazing. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, making it a standout dish. The service was exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Our waiter made thoughtful recommendations, enhancing the overall dining experience. Steak 48 is an excellent choice for a corporate outing or meeting with a client, offering a sophisticated ambiance and top-tier service. While I don’t eat beef, I’ve heard from many that this is the best steak in Charlotte, making it a must-visit for steak.
