    Steak 48 is my favorite restaurant in LA hands down. I come here on a regular basis and have introduced so many of my friends and family to it! The food is always SO delicious - I have tried a LOT of items on the menu and all have been amazing (honorable mentions and some of my go to’s include : the crispy shrimp, filet mignon steak, French fries and my favorite dessert of all time … the red velvet bread pudding!!!! PLS get it!!) The service is also impeccable every time from everyone on the team. Shoutout to Amari and one of the managers Daniel who made my friend and I’s dining experience tonight extra special. It can be hard to find a restaurant that has great food AND a nice ambience to match, but this place ticks all the boxes! Love love love 🫶
