Steak 48 - Charlotte

I came for the first time to celebrate my birthday and it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The ambience was relaxing and luxurious. Alex was our server and he was amazing all around. Very knowledgeable about the menu, had a great personality, and made us feel comfortable. We just told him what flavors we liked and he gave the perfect food/drink recommendations. We tried the crispy shrimp, chicken fried lobster, roasted beet salad, bone in kc strip, shells and cheese, corn creme brûlée, and the au gratin potatoes. I got a personalized birthday card from the staff which was very special. Will 100% be back again!

My husband and I went to Steak 48 this past weekend for my birthday. We are both in the industry/foodies and we were so impressed! From the moment we walked in the service was amazing and so welcoming. Our servers knew the menu inside and out and happily made recommendations. I have a shellfish allergy and they were right on top of it. We completely over ordered but I don't regret it at all! We started with the beet salad, wedge salad and followed with the Ahi Tuna for him, the petite filet for me, and shared the Brussel sprouts, shells + cheese, and au gratin potatoes. Then they brought us the yellow butter cake for my birthday. When I tell you this cake is life changing, I am not kidding. AH-mazing!! We brought home our leftovers but, one tip, check the bag before you leave as they box everything up for you (part of their impeccable service) but my steak did not make it into the bag so that was a bummer because I had quite a bit left (as previously mentioned, we over ordered.) Overall great experience and I would definitely go back!

Celebrated my birthday dinner here. Food was 10/10! Customer service was amazing. Bill came out to be $285 before tip. Ordered 12 oz ny strip, rack of lamb, moscato wine, deviled eggs, broccoli, corn brûlée, sweet potato soufflé. I was giving a complimentary dessert (vanilla cake) as well as cookies. Portions were good size, all sides are shareable sized so order 1 of what you want if eating with a couple of people. Such a great experience. Will be back

Absolutely worth the splurge. 1000/1000 HIGHLY recommend. It was prefection

Steak48 is premium dining at a cost. For me I don't mind paying the cost. I thoroughly enjoyed a night out at Steak48 with my girls for a birthday dinner. I have frequented this restaurant a dozen times and the service, food, and experience is always the same, Exceptional! I think they may have gotten more relaxed with the dress code since opening but do not be surprised if you are turned away due to dress code. I've seen it done before in the most professional way. Please read the website because it outlines what is allowed and what is not. If you are looking for an amazing diner spot with great service and savory dishes, Steak48 is it!

A Perfect Anniversary Celebration We chose Steak 48 to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance is stunning, with a sophisticated yet warm atmosphere that made our special occasion feel even more magical. For our main courses, my husband opted for the New York strip, which was absolutely phenomenal. Cooked to perfection, it was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. I decided on the sea bass, and it exceeded my expectations—perfectly flaky and seasoned just right, it was one of the best seafood dishes I've had. We paired our entrees with brussel sprouts and mac and cheese. The brussel sprouts were wonderfully caramelized, providing a lovely contrast to the richness of the mac and cheese, which was creamy and indulgent—definitely a comfort food highlight. The drinks were a delightful addition to our meal. I enjoyed a refreshing lemon drop, while my husband savored a Long Island iced tea. Both cocktails were expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. To top off our celebration, we were surprised with a butter blondie cake topped with ice cream for dessert. It was a heavenly treat—rich, buttery, and the perfect ending to our meal. Truly a chef's kiss moment! Overall, Steak 48 delivered an exceptional dining experience that made our anniversary celebration extra special. We left with full hearts and satisfied palates, already looking forward to our next visit!

The food, staff and the service was amazing (especially our waitress Hamora)! Only downfall is the parking, very limited and if you do go in the garage, the first 3 hours is free after that it's $5 an hour. Depending on who your company is you might be there longer than 3 hour🤭

Visited Charlotte for the day and went to Steak 48 for the first time. Incredible atmosphere and top notch service. Caitlyn at the back bar gave impeccable service and she’s an absolute gem. Portions are big so you will definitely take some home.

Last night I did something bold. I ordered fish at a steakhouse. I know. I shocked myself too. I walked into Steak 48 for the very first time with a full craving for seafood even though I almost never order fish when I eat out. It’s usually dry, sad and gives off “help me” energy. But the craving was loud and honestly I hadn’t experienced Steak 48 yet, so I figured if anyone could cook fish without hurting my feelings it would be them. I snagged a last-minute high top at the bar and the second I walked in they hit me with a “Good evening Mr. Diamond” which made me feel like I was either about to be seated or inducted into a secret society. Hard to tell. I sat down and shocked the world by skipping my usual Diet Coke with grenadine (The Evan Diamond). Instead I ordered an unsweetened iced tea. They brought out a glass of ice with a bottle of Republic Darjeeling tea sitting next to it. They call it the “champagne of tea”. At first I judged it because I thought it was going to taste like every sad bottled tea at a gas station. Then I added one Sweet ‘N Low and suddenly I was locked in. For dinner I had options. Salmon three ways. Chilean seabass three ways. A Branzino special was floating around too. I went with the Chilean seabass spiedini style which means breadcrumb magic, herbs and spices, then broiled. It came out looking like the moment in a movie where the clouds part and a choir sings. For my sides, I was torn between the Boursin mashed potatoes or the corn crème brûlée. My server suggested the corn since it was my first time. When the food arrived, the server assistant started plating both the corn brûlée and the mashed potatoes. I told him I only ordered the corn. He said “Your server wanted you to try both” and let me know the potatoes were on the house. I nearly adopted her on the spot. The corn crème brûlée was wild. Sweet corn folded into a rich cream base. Salty. Sweet. Cozy. Then they sprinkle sugar on top and torch it until it forms a crackly, caramelized shell like a true dessert crème brûlée. Underneath the crisp sugar is buttery, soft corn. The crunch to cream ratio was absolute perfect perfection. The Boursin mashed potatoes were on a whole other level too. A blend of Yukon and russet potatoes gives that silky texture. Then they mix in Boursin cheese and sweet cream so it hits you with buttery, garlicky, herby goodness. It’s the kind of side that tastes like someone whispered “ultimate comfort” into a bowl of clouds. The sides were huge and could feed three or four people. And this feels like a good moment to say the service here was top tier. Everyone who stopped by did it with intention. Not hovering. Not weird. Just making sure I was set and happy. Then I picked up my fork and went to work. The seabass was perfect. Flaky. Moist. Zero dryness. I cleaned the plate like it was auditioning for the dishwasher. And yes I did all of this with my non dominant hand while my broken wrist chilled in its sling like it was on a beach vacation. The commitment was real. The total was $100 before tip not counting the gifted potatoes. Honestly worth every penny for a stress-free meal with flawless service and perfectly cooked fish. To wrap things up they brought out two bite sized chocolate chip cookies which felt like a tiny reward for being an adult and treating myself. Then today they phone called me for a follow up. Thinking the call was that I left my credit card there. (It happens to me way more often than it should). Turns out they just wanted to check in and make sure my experience was good. You don’t see that often. And no this wasn’t hosted. I wasn’t invited. I wasn’t fed for free. I just had a great time and wanted to share. If you want a solid higher end dinner or a date night spot in Charlotte, Steak 48 stays locked in. They were slammed on a Wednesday so make a reservation unless you want to play the bar seat lottery. I’ll be recommending this place more often. They earned it.

Steak48 never lets you down. The service is always genuine and professional, without any hint of pretension. Everyone is warm and welcoming, which is so refreshing. The wine list is extensive, with plenty of options by the glass—truly impressive. If you haven’t been, check out the sides on the menu before you go; there are so many great choices that it can be overwhelming to decide while socializing at the table.
