As soon as you walk up to the entrance, the door is opened for you with this phrase delivered perfectly with a smile, “Welcome to Steak 48”. I can sum up my Steak 48 experience with one word… incredible. This was hands down the best dining experience I have ever had in San Diego, and it’s not even close! The Mastro brothers, Jeffrey and Michael, James Beard nominated chefs, are the brains behind this amazing restaurant. They are the original owners of the Mastro’s Steakhouses (which was sold to Landry’s over a decade ago). This is the Mastro brother’s return to steakhouses, Steak 48, and are we lucky they chose San Diego. Located in the space that use to house Burlap / Searsuckers in Del Mar Heights, Steak 48 looks nothing like those previous restaurants and it shows. Multiple dining areas, a great bar, endless types of wine on the wall, a butcher shop, a raw bar, and a wall of cleavers that is very IG worthy. The ambiance and decor are something that we’ve never had here in San Diego. This is all next level. The service is easily the best I’ve experienced in San Diego. Everyone was very attentive, welcoming, and friendly. Brian was our server, and he knocked it out of the park. Gave great recommendations, awesome sense of humor and good vibes. Russel, the bar manager, was also very attentive making sure everything was to our liking. The food, buckle up, because you are in for a treat! We started with the bread, which I almost completely devoured. Next up was the Superfood salad, which had a great champagne fir dressing and some very flavorful berries. I’m telling you the bar kept getting higher with everything that came out. The Bone-In Ribeye, medium rare, phenomenal. Add the truffle butter, it is out of this world! For sides we got the Truffled & Salted crispy fries, which are highly addictive. Sautéed sweet corn, amazing, and the sautéed wild mushrooms, WOW is all I have to say! For dessert we got wild, the Triple Chocolate Bomber, just get it. You’ll be happy you did! Just to keep this easy: -House Bread -Superfood Salad -Bone-In Ribeye with Truffle Butter -Truffled & Salted Crispy Fries -Sautéed Wild Mushrooms -Sautéed Sweet Corn -Triple Chocolate Bomber We both absolutely loved everything here! I was bummed when we left, if I wasn’t so full I would have kept ordering, so come hungry! The bar gets hopping. I would shoot for an 8-9 reservation if you want to be in the thick of it. Great energy! The complimentary cookies at the end were a nice touch. As full as I was I ate them… both. I can’t wait to go back! Steak 48, Welcome to San Diego :-)

A very nice steak house, with excellent steak offerings (of course), fresh seafood offerings, and a well stocked wine cellar, bar, and caviar. The service is impressive, and the atmosphere is amazing. Try to reserve the booth that looks into the kitchen (I believe they call it the “Kitchen Tables”). Everything on the menu is just fantastic. The sides - especially the sweet corn, is amazing. Try the beignets “tree” was a treat! A wonderful place for special occasions, and even just because. I would not hesitate to come back!

Went there twice this week. Once for the proper dinner and then for the drinks on a later day. The ambience, the drink menu and the food choices are amazing. Most importantly, a very professional and courteous service staff. I didn't like the quality of the Steak I had though. I had Ribeye and my friends had KC strip and overall feeling was OK. For this price we expect better quality of the meat.

Steak 48: A Chic and Upscale Dining Experience Steak 48 is a new restaurant in the neighborhood that will quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. With its upscale Newport or chic Vegas vibe, impressive decor, and delicious food, it's no wonder why. The restaurant's decor is both classy and polished, yet warm and inviting. There are unique features in each room, making it perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. There's even a casual bar club feel in one area, so you can enjoy a drink and some appetizers before or after your meal. One of the highlights of Steak 48 is its wonderful view kitchen. Here, you can watch as the chefs prepare your meal. The menu features a wide variety of steaks, seafood (on display), and other dishes, all of which were cooked to perfection. The service at Steak 48 is also excellent. Our waiter was well-seasoned and knowledgeable, and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant dining experience. They are personal without being intrusive, and they ensure that you have everything you need without feeling rushed. The food at Steak 48 is on par with some of the best steakhouses I've been to. They have an extensive wine list and feature a wide variety of traditional steakhoue choices on their menu. I was very impressed with their HUGH seafood selection. There is nothing shrimp about their SHRIMP. They are colossal!! The steak was perfectly prepared to the right temperature, and the Chilean seabass was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend keeping room for and choosing dessert. They have their own in-house pastry shelves. Overall, Steak 48 is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood. It's a great place to go for a special occasion or a leisurely dinner with friends and family. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. I left extremely impressed and can't wait to go back again soon.

Food, service and decor 5 star! 2 bars we sat at the back bar, a little more intimate back there! Had the 20oz rib eye and added a lobster. Martini’s had fresh blue cheese stuff olives. The skillet buttery bread was yummy but don’t fill up on the bread. Attention to details all around. And they have valet service. We will be back!

We went for our anniversary dinner. Normally we go to a steak house so we were even more excited to try a new one in town! Steak 48 did not disappoint. From excellent service (only open two weeks and the waiter had the menu memorized) to amazing tasting food. I had the dry aged bone in ribeye. It was in the top 3 steaks I’ve ever had. Generous side portions provided as well. The wine prices were extremely reasonable and fit anyone’s budget. Make sure to take a tour of the kitchen and dessert case. It’s a huge makeover of this space from the previous searsucker. Looking forward to coming back soon.

I recently dined at Steak 48 and that left a lasting impression. The exceptional service from was evident from the moment we walked in, with attentive staff providing a warm welcome. Our server Victor, was knowledgeable about the cuts of meat and offered helpful recommendations. The steak itself was cooked to perfection, flavorful and tender. The attention to detail in service, combined with the delicious food, made it a truly memorable dining experience. In addition, I must commend Matt, the manager, for his outstanding contribution to our dining experience. His attentive presence and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction were truly remarkable. Matt's personal touch elevated our overall impression of the restaurant, making it clear that exceptional service is a top priority for the entire team. Kudos to Matt and the staff for creating a memorable evening filled with delicious food and unparalleled service and I highly recommend this establishment for steak enthusiasts seeking a top-notch culinary and service experience.

Since I moved back to San Diego my wife and I have wished we had restaurants of the caliber of Scottsdale and Dominick’s/Steak 44. When planning our wedding anniversary dinner I found out this just opened a few months ago and was ecstatic, San Diego finally has one!! No need to go to Scottsdale for dinner anymore… the service is 2nd to none, the food is 2nd to absolutely none, and the experience is 2nd to absolutely positively none. So glad you guys came to San Diego!!

An unforgettable dining experience at Steak 48!! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was impeccable. Our server, Meyers, elevated our experience with impeccable service and genuine warmth. Every dish was a masterpiece, perfectly executed with exquisite flavors. Meyers' recommendations were spot on, adding to the delight of our evening. Our family’s favorites were the Shrimp, Lobster and Steak!! A true gem in the culinary world, made even more exceptional by Meyers' attentive care. Made our birthday celebration an extremely special occasion!! Can't wait to return!

With very short notice, I was able to get a reservation and had an excellent birthday celebration for my wife. Steak 48 was able to accommodate a rose on the table and a happy birthday card. The steaks were phenomenal, and the service was exceptional. From the phone to the restaurant to our exit, everyone we encountered, was friendly and truly professional. You get what you pay for and we found the food, service, ambience, well worth every cent. Highly recommend.
