    What a great experience. Our server, Arwyn (spelling) was marvelous on all counts. I had the butternut squash soup, which was beautiful and delicious. For my entree, I had the bass…it was cooked perfectly, succulent with a crispy, well seasoned skin. We shared the Chestnut Rocks dessert, which was unique in both presentation and flavors. We’re so glad Arwyn recommended it. This restaurant isn’t cheap but well worth the expense, in my view.

Johnny our server was fantastic and did a great job on menu selection and recommended the perfect dessert where they captured her accomplishment. Thank you Steak 48 for the great food and helping us celebrate.

    Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.
