Deviating just enough from the usual steakhouse selections makes Steak 48 a joy for fans of the cuisine. Just consider the starters: Chef's "PB&J" paté, fig jam, and Woodford reserve bourbon; crispy shrimp deviled eggs; and a cool King Crab & Avocado Stack.
Not only is there a"Super Colossal Shrimp Cocktail" but a Maine lobster rendition, too. Offset the cholesterol with a Superfood Salad chock full of seeds, berries and kale (natch). Prime steaks and chops are responsibly farmed and wet-aged 28 days then hand-cut in house by a master butcher. You'll say, "You're the master" after your first bite of domestic Wagyu NY strip or filet (limited availability) or a bone-in ribeye topped with black truffle sautéed Maine lobster.
There's also fresh seafood and non-steak choices such as meatloaf made with rib eye, filet mignon, pork and black truffle green peppercorn that will make your mama's eyes cross.
