    We had the best time enjoying the Tasting Menu. Every single course was flavorful, different, and exciting. The Amuse Buche, currently a cumin and truffle macaron topped with kaluga caviar was an incredible start to the meal. The Achapam rose cookie or the Lychee Coconut ceviche may have been my favorite courses, they were so light and refreshing and flavorful with interesting notes that were fun to discuss with the other people in our party. I have to mention the absolute decadence that is the Paneer. I would absolutely order it over and over again, the texture is so soft and smooth and its sauce was clean the plate with naan worthy. Our server, JP, did a wonderful job walking us through each course and explaining the concepts of the restaurant and creation of dishes, as well as talking through cocktail flavors, and taking extreme care of me with Food Allergies. The restaurant is so beautiful and detailed, with tiny bits of intricate decor everywhere you look. Try the Zaffran cocktail, you won’t regret it!

    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.
