A wonderful restaurant to spend our 52nd Anniversary! We felt so welcomed the moment we arrived as they wished us Happy Anniversary. The staff is outstanding! Our waiter Brian was so friendly and went though the menu with a fine tooth comb helping us to make a decision with so many delicious options! Our steak was delicious!! The auxiliary staff was wonderful too! Luis made our evening enjoyable as well! We’ll be back to have another dining adventure! Thanks Steak 48😊
