    We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

    Steak 48 exceeded all my expectations, providing a dining experience that was nothing short of phenomenal. The highlight of the evening was the impeccable service from Ryjane. She was the epitome of professionalism—attentive, knowledgeable, and flawless in her execution. Her genuine warmth and efficiency elevated the entire experience, making us feel truly valued as guests. The food was equally outstanding! From the perfectly cooked, tender steak to the delectable sides and appetizers, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s expertise and attention to detail. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, and the presentation was just as impressive. Steak 48 is the perfect spot for a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Kudos to Ryjane for making the evening truly exceptional!

    First time eating there food and service was excellent. Not a large place so it was a little noisy. A little pricey but in line for the quality of the food.Three of us had the Red Snapper and one had the Pork Chop they were all cooked perfectly and the Pork Chop was huge easily enough for two people. I had the Santa Cruz sauce and my wife had the Pontchartrain sauce both were excellent. Will definitely be back.
