A fantastic experience at your restaurant tonight. Troy Chimielewski, our waiter, was probably the most attentive and knowledgeable waiter we have ever had in our 40 years of marriage- a true professional. . The steaks were out of this world and the sides complimented well. Recommend Steak 48 without reservation and look forward to returning very soon read more

If I could give zero stars I would in a second. We just left Steak 48 to go to Mastros. I was with a friend and her daughter. They wouldn't let my friend's daughter enter because her shirt had a "logo" on it. There was no logo. There was a design that I hand drew and had screen printed on a shirt for her. We had to go to Marshalls next door to buy her a cheap shirt to cover the "logo". We get inside the restaurant and counted 3 people that had shirts on with actual logos. They seat us at a table in the kitchen underneath a speaker blaring loud music. We decided we had had enough. After everything, I felt like we were treated like criminals. I will never go back and I will tell anyone and everyone that will listen. Diner beware!!!! Addendum: Mastros was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing and the service there was top notch. read more

Amazing food and even better experience. The restaurant is very clear on their minimum purchase and reservations policy so make sure to read that and you won't have a problem. Reaching the 100 minimum is very easy as well between drinks, appetizers, and meal. We had the fried chicken lobster which was AMAZING! The calamari and fried shrimp was also good but I'd recommend the fried lobster between the two. I had a ribeye and my boyfriend had the pork chops and we shared the mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was to my liking and sides were good. Just as a heads up the mashed potatoes are super whipped so if you are not a fan of that texture that i would not recommend i personally enjoyed them. Also, note that the pork chops come with pepper on them that have a very distinct taste that we did not care for and would order with out it next time. read more

Our first experience was nothing short of spectacular! The restaurant itself is beautiful and has some really cool artwork throughout. The food is exactly what you expect from the Mastros family, top notch quality & incredibly delicious from start to finish. Everything from the braised pork belly starter to the perfectly seared steaks were spot on! Chef Brian's au gratin potatos were out of this world as were the aspargus fries. We finished our meal with the red velvet bread pudding (unreal) & the beignet tree beautifully presented on a silver tree. As much as we enjoyed all of our dishes, it was the service from the entire 48 crew that really made the experience all the more extraordinary. Exec Chef Key was gracious enough to take a photo with us & our server Amber & her team were attentive & beyond kind. Steak 48 is without question the place to go to in Chicago for an excellent meal & phenomenal service! read more

This was amazing. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the crispy shrimp deviled eggs, the fried deviled eggs, and the braised pork belly. For drinks had a stone martini(so good!), moscato and an espresso martini. The butcher Waygu steak was tender and amazing read more

Phenomenal restaurant! The experience was excellent. The ambiance was wonderful and the service was impeccable. My husband and I visited the restaurant on Saturday night with a friend and we will be back. The waiter was very personable, professional, and efficient. The steak temperatures were on point and the side dishes were delicious. My husband and friend had tomahawk steaks and I had the bone-in filet. We also had the potatoes au-gratin, sweet potatoes, creamed corn, and asparagus. For dessert we had the red velvet bread pudding (yum) and smores in a cup. The bread that the waiter brought out before our food came was buttery and soft. 10/10 experience and I cannot wait to return. The only downside was that Steak 48 is a little pricey. Our bill for the aforementioned items plus two cocktails was $886 for 3 guests. read more

I dined during a private soft opening and was thoroughly impressed with Steak 48. Our server was awesome, I wish I remembered her name to pass on the positive feedback. She took the time to explain the menu and highlighted a few recommendations. We started with Garlic Rolls, Crab Cakes and Crispy Thai Shrimp. The bread was brought out straight from the oven, buttery and pillow soft. The Crab Cakes were breaded on the exterior, but had very little mixed throughout the cake. ..a good thing of course. The star of the first course was the Crispy Shrimp. I suspect they use sesame oil, but couldn't identify what was used to take these to the next level. Definitely order them and let me know if you can figure it out. I ordered the Surf n' Turf Ribeye with King Crab as an entree. My steak was a perfect medium rare. The crab was sweet and not overcooked. One of the better steaks in Chicago and not a surprise because the original family behind Maestro's owns Steak 48. The dessert menu was so enticing I ordered two, lol. The Red Velvet Bread Pudding and the Ultimate Warm Vanilla Caramel Cake. What's not to love? Both were sinfully good and worth indulging in caloric bliss. I still prefer steaks on a charcoal grill, but Steak 48 is the next best thing. Add this to your bookmarks and stop in the next time you're feeling carnivorous. read more

We really enjoyed our dining experience here. We felt very welcomed from the moment we walked in. We were never rushed. Appetizers and salads were amazing and the steaks are just what you'd expect at this level of steakhouse. The sides stole the show. Each of our choices were amazing. read more

Mixed review which quite honestly is having me second guess whether or not we would rush back there.. Let me start by saying that both steaks we had (Bone-In NY Strip and Fillet) were absolutely great and cooked perfectly. So were the sides (mushrooms, creamed spinach and sautéed corn). While I have no problem with paying high prices for a "high quality" steak house, I do have a few nit picks........ For example, a call brand Martini (literally 2 ingredients) for $24 seems high and an automatic 20% tip added to the bill (for a party of 2) seems obnoxious. I'm not saying we wouldn't have given the staff 20% as they did a very good job, but I just don't think it should be automatically added to the bill at a high end steak restaurant especially in Chicago where there are so many other choices............... read more

last night I had a memorable dining experience. Private room, business, VIP customers. Everything had to be perfect, and it was. Itlow, our server was fast, professional and attentive. Robin and her event staff were accurate and responsive. Not a big steak guy, but that was the best steak I have ever had. Robin met me before the guests arrived to make sure everything was to my liking and then called me the next day on her own as a follow up. 7 nights of dining in Chicago on business, this was far and away the best. When you have that VIP business dinner that has to go right or there are career implications, give them a shot. read more

Steak 48 is from the team that used to own Mastro's Steakhouse. The chef is Brian Key, who previously worked at Gibson's. It's a very large restaurant, on two floors with a huge bar. Some of the rooms can get quite loud, so if you don't want that, ask to sit in a smaller room. There are three glassed in tables back by the kitchen that are fantastic. The music soundtrack is excellent, with upbeat rock mostly from the 70s and 80s. We started with the shrimp cocktail, which is sold by the piece; it came with cocktail sauce and mustard sauce. We also tried the crab and avocado stack, which was made more interesting by a layer of crispy wonton. On a second visit we had the PB&J pate appetizer and the crispy shrimp (which is almost identical to Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish Grill). Both were excellent and were, in my view, the best appetizer choices. Caesar salad is traditional, and definitely has anchovies blended into the dressing. The only non-traditional element is a poached egg, which we skipped. The wedge salad isn't exactly a wedge, it's the whole heart of a head of iceberg lettuce. Steaks are cooked in a 1500 degree broiler and served on 500 degree plates. Do not touch. My bone-in small filet mignon was nicely seasoned, but cooked beyond the requested medium, and the hot plate added to that. My companion's NY strip was a much better choice, perfectly cooked to the requested medium rare, and was actually as tender as the filet and of course much more flavorful. It was the best steak I've gotten at a Chicago steakhouse. Even though it was also the "small" it was a generous 12 ounces, with no wasted fat to trim off. For sides we had the mac and cheese, which was fairly light, and the creamed spinach which was nicely smokey. On a second visit we had the asparagus fries and the Brussels sprouts, neither of which seemed remarkable. The corn creme brulee was interesting, but is very, very sweet, more a dessert than a side. The crispy banana split was an interesting variation on a classic, with salted caramel ice cream, luxardo flavored whipped cream, and corn flake crusted bananas. I would rate the food as good, but not exceptional, except for that NY strip. If you're looking for a great steak, that's the reason to come. The wine list has a fairly high mark up, especially on the prestige bottles, but the wines by the glass are generous pours, so they aren't quite as expensive as they appear. Service was incredible, especially considering the place had been open four days. It's the reason for the five star review. It's the best service I've experienced at a Chicago steakhouse by far. The bus persons were measuring the distance from the edge of the table to the silverware as they set the tables, and when clearing plates they asked how we enjoyed each course. Our server, Nadiyah, was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and even took time out to give us a tour of the restaurant. Kudos to management for assembling such an amazing staff so quickly. read more

Absolutely GREAT experience! We were captivated the entire time, from the moment we got walked in to the moment we left. We were celebrating a birthday and they made the celebration amazing! Our server Walker was the best and catered to our every need! His service was fantastic and Walker was truly a delight. Walker added all the extra touches, provided wonderful recommendations to curate a perfect meal, just top tier service. Loved the appetizers, chicken fried lobster was delicious; the aged bone eye rib eye was perfection along with the potatoes and creamed spinach. Vanilla cake was perfect way to cap off the meal. The staff even called the next day to see how our experience was. Walker and the entire experience was wonderful! read more

Very good spot here! I've been a couple of times and I absolutely love this place. Good, dark and intimate ambience. Great for dates, groups and business dinners. Service has been great each time I've been and the very attractive hostesses are always cool. Ive had the 12oz NY Strip which is very good...get some horseradish with it. Ive had numerous sides here as each time I have shown up, we have shared so much. The best side is the corn creme brûlée which is simply amazing. The Brussel sprouts, roasted baby carrots, creamy mac & cheese, whipped potatoes and creamed spinach are all good! Sparkling rose' and manhattans here are fantastic as well...had too many lol! If you haven't been, I suggest you check it out. read more

They really try to push seafood on you, but the steaks are unreal. I couldn't finish my filet mignon on the bone. It was massive and cooked perfectly. The drinks were amazing! read more

Absolutely LOVE steak 48. I've been there twice now, if only I lived closer and could afford to eat there everyday--I would! The first time I went, service was impeccable, food came out prompt and fresh. They were quick to refill water, clear empty dishes out of the way, and just overall great. Most recently I sat at the bar area, which is definitely a step down in service. The bartender seemed a bit spacey, but whatever, everyone has off days and he was still happy to help us once we got his attention. Food was just as great as I remembered from before. I've had oysters, shrimp (JUMBO. Like really!), crab legs (my personal favorite), sea bass, double baked truffle potato, sautéed mushrooms, and king crab and avocado stack. You cannot go wrong. I don't eat steak, but I'm sure they do it right. Drinks are great, I've had dirty and espresso martinis, plus a good selection of wine available. I'm so happy with steak 48, it's a wonderful date spot, upscale restaurant. I will definitely come back here. read more

You cannot go wrong with Steak 48. You are going to get top quality service and even better quality food. I was visiting a friend and he surprised me with reservations to this spot. When entering you get the sense that you will have a very high quality dining experience. Everything from the way you are greeted to the mood lighting to the excellently prepared food is top of the line. For starters, were served with these buttery rolls. They were straight out the oven and are part of the reason I didn't finish my entree. Shame on y'all for having such delicious bread.lol. As an appetizer, we ordered the Crab & Avocado Stack. I am not a big avocado eater because I don't like the texture so I was a little leery of this dish but to my surprise the avocado is blended just right so I didn't have that weird chunky, mushy texture to deal with. I loved that the crispy wonton was smack dab in the middle of the mound of Crab and Avocado, which gives a nice crunch and wonton flavor to the dish. As for my entree, I ordered the Maryland Style Lump Crab Cakes with a side of the Creamed Spinach. These were the biggest crab cakes I've ever seen and had the most luscious lumps of crab you could ask for. It was quite succulent and not overly cooked. The addition of the creamed spinach was just icing on top of the cake. It helped to round out the dish quite nicely. Overall, I can say I enjoyed my dining experience and would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to impress a date, celebrate an anniversary, or just treat yourself to a really great meal. It's expensive but well worth every dime spent! I will be back next time I'm in the CHI! read more

One of the best steaks I have had. Bone in Filet was fork tender, cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Waygu Tartare has great flavor and the Shrimp for the shrimp cocktail looked like they had been grown in a power plant but were tender and delicious. 5 Stars all around. Service, Wine Selection, Food all top notch. If you are in Chicago hit this place up you won't be disappointed. But bring your checkbook. read more

I planned and hosted a large group event (125 people) at Steak 48 and could not have been more pleased with how it turned out. The food was PHENOMENAL. The servers & staff were so attentive and worked with me on a number of special requests. I don't think I've ever had a better steakhouse experience in my life. I can't wait to come back and splurge the next time I'm in Chicago. I would highly recommend Steak 48 if you are looking for a place to host a group event and have the budget. All I heard was rave reviews from our attendees. You will not be disappointed! read more

Oh man, where do I start... Ambiance: high class, fancy, fine dining atmosphere. Dimmed lighting, with fancy silverware and table setup. Felt so bougie when eating here. Service: Top notch service. The gave one of my friends in my party the wrong kind of steak, and they let him keep it AND replaced it for him. The waitress we had explained to us the specials and answered any questions we had. Food: The bread- Their garlic bread was SO GOOD. Came out in a warm skillet and drizzled with butter and garlic. The inside of the bread was warm and so flavorful. Braised pork belly- Was very tender. A great precursor to a much awaited steak. Would get again. Bone in rib eye- After the first bite I was in a complete state of bliss. I have never tasted a steak so juicy and tender before. The marbling was absolutely perfect. They seasoned it perfectly where it wasn't too overwhelming or salty. No A1 sauce needed! Vanilla caramel cake- I was so full from my meal, but somehow made room and thankfully did for this dessert. The ice cream complimented so well! This happened to be people's favorite according to the waitress. read more

I can't say enough about our experience at Steak 48! We were in Chicago celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and found them on Instagram. From the moment we walked in the service was amazing!

Amazing service, they ask whether you prefer black or white napkins.. REALLY ! I enjoyed the food, ambiance and service.

Steak 48 has been in the news lately for its decision to require $100 minimum purchase per person, reservations secured with a credit card, and an extensive list restrictions / requirements surrounding their guest dress code. Some vocal members of the social media realm felt particularly put out by these new policies and felt the world should know. For these very reasons, and a dedication to my mantra that "Life is too short to eat bad food," I set reservations for two, and on the big day, donned my sport coat, appropriate attire, snazzy shoes, and tasteful personal scent. The experience was AMAZING. From the gentlemen who greeted us at the door, the hostess who sat us, the welcoming cozy, dark, modern interior, our exceptional server "Z", and every other individual we interacted with, the experience was professional and exceptional. The wine list was twice as extensive as the attire code, and a pleasing Santa Margarita Pino Grigio complemented the meal well. Every morsel of food was flavorful and exceptionally prepared, and each course timed perfectly. I'll let our pictures speak for themselves, but highly recommend the Dungeness Crab Cocktail (with three amazing sauces; the horseradish has kick!) and the Chicken Fried Lobster (think of it as taking three lobster tails and deep-frying them like a chicken nuggets ... yup.) For our entree we both selected the not-on-the-menu "butcher's cut" of the top of a ribeye. Among the finest-tasting meats we have ever enjoyed! Steak 48 is not one of those foam-dollopped, fu-fu sized serving places. This is full-portions with entree and half a side and half a dessert to take home places. With our selections we had no problem reaching the minimum tab per person a couple times over. Chicago has been historically known for exceptional, fine-dining experiences and environments. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns and restrictions, the tradition of refined dining had been fading and, dare I say, increasingly replaced by uncouth and boorish mannerisms. To those establishments such as Steak 48 that wish to maintain fine-dining traditions, I for one say, "Bravo!" #LetsEat read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. My boyfriend and I tried to come for his birthday and they turned us away claiming my shoes weren't up to their dress code.

The restaurant was deserted anyways. Don't come here read more

EVERYTHING... I mean everything about this place was top notch! We were there with reservations on a Friday night at 730pm. We were sat, a party of 4 immediately. Our server greeted us and gave of some pointers on the menu, after taking our drink order. Everything sounded so great, it was hard to pick. We ordered appetizers, salads and entrees.. they ranged from Steak to Crab legs.. the burratta was awesome!!!! Everything was on point! The GM came around and greeted us also to be sure everything was GREAT! So nice when they do that! Would definitely recommend and would love to go back someday again!!! read more

My sisters and I arranged for an anniversary dinner at Steak 48 while they were there for their 50th. My parents said it was one of the greatest experiences they've ever had.

You girls are the best!   They put us in a private booth surrounded by glass so we could watch them making some of the dishes, brought us a handmade anniversary card and champagne !  By far the best steak I've ever had and the sides were awesome.  Thanks to you all !!

This is the third location of the S48 chain that I've dined at and I must admit it ranks last on my list. We went on a Saturday evening so it was pretty busy. It seemed like they may have been short staffed which is totally understandable. A lot of businesses and restaurants are experiencing the same issue. Our waiter was nice but he literally came back to the table three different times to take our app and drink orders. Each time we told him what we wanted but he came back as if he was just meeting us again and introducing himself. Once I finally received my drink I had to send it back and the second drink wasn't any better so I just told them not to worry about it. This isn't a bad location but we are used to more catered experiences that we enjoyed in Philadelphia and Charlotte. Here's my review of the food: Crispy Shrimp 5/5 Whitefish with King Crab 4/5 Crab meat was salty Wagyu Ribeye 4/5 delicious but a tad salty Crab and shrimp Mac 5/5 Sweet Potatoes 5/5 Red Velvet Bread Pudding 3.5/5 tasted more like cake read more

Came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday and we had a great experience! We were a little early for our reservation but we were still seated almost immediately in the upstairs dining room. Our server, Troy, was excellent. He was very attentive and he knew the menu inside and out. After giving us a full rundown, he suggested his favorite items, the most popular items, and chef specialties. He was able to easily answer any questions we had. We both ordered steaks (I got the KC Strip) and they came out in about 15-20 minutes. Troy has mentioned the plates would be 500 degrees, but I wasn't sure I believed that until they were brought out and my steak was still being seared on the plate. For sides, we got the shisito peppers, which were very good, and the chef's specialty cheesy potatoes, which were excellent. The steaks themselves were cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Overall, we had an awesome night here. They also gave a handwritten birthday card and a complimentary dessert for the birthday. I'm still working my way through Chicago's nicest steakhouses, and though this isn't quite my #1 in the city, it's not too far away. read more

One of my FAVORITE restaurants to visit in Chicago. Absolutely everything on the menu!!! I typically sit at the bar and talk and dine with bartenders who always are right on top of their game! Great service. Started with the avocado crab salad which was amazing, the crisp won ton added great texture to the bite. For my main dish I end up getting one of their specials white fish topped with Alaskan King crab in a lemon butter sauce. I jazzed my dish up and added the crispy rock shrimp. I deff recommend and it's big enough to share! Great portions with every dish!! And if you go you have to get the corn brûlée.... OMG when I tell you a must Have!!! Love the way at the end of your meal they present your bill with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Yummy!!! read more

My oh my... Steak 48 is fabulous! Ambience: Excellent service throughout the entire meal. The music playing was so good, I was tempted to inquire if they had the playlist on Spotify. The round table worked well for our party to be able to converse with the entire group. A place to celebrate successes, birthdays, or an anniversary with a vibe that sets the tone for a great celebration. Appetizer: The crowd went wild over the dungess crab. The table fought over every little morsel. The meatball appetizer is very good. The complimentary garlic bread and sea salt bread come in a cast iron skillet buttered and prepped to melt in your mouth. The sides: The creme corn brûlée is fantastic and a standout side. We frequent a lot of steak houses and have our favorite au gratin potatoes. Steak 48 surpassed our local favorite and was noted as the greatest of all time au gratin potatoes. The crab macaroni was good as well as the whipped mashed potatoes. The entree: Served on a smoldering plate the bone in filet and ribeye at 12 ounces is the way to go. I recommend 12 ounces with a bone to ensure you don't get an odd cut. The flavor and preparation was superb. Clearly Steak 48 is a standout amongst the competitors with these sides and meat it is top notch establishment. Dessert: When my daughter insisted that the caramel vanilla cake with ice cream is her all time favorite dessert I had my doubts. As a chocolate connoisseur, I definitely did not think I could be wooed by a vanilla based dessert. Served in its own little individual ceramic cake pan this little vanilla cake is packed with flavor that makes all your senses come alive. I would highly recommend at the very least to order one for the table. If you are celebrating an achievement, birthday, or anniversary the house will provide 1 cake for celebrating with Streak 48. read more

Talk about homophobia? This "exclusive" restaurant turned away my gay nephew dressed in designer clothing! Well, there went a family of VERY generous tippers. SHAME on you, Steak 48! Plus, who charges a minimum of $100 per person plus tax and tip? I lived in NYC for 8 years and never saw this BS! Many comments from African Americans as well, turned away due to "dress code."
