A Beverly Hills chophouse that earns the splurge

Steak 48 brings its acclaimed steakhouse concept to the heart of Beverly Hills, situated along the bustling stretch of Wilshire Boulevard at 9680. Known for its polished take on the classic American chophouse, this Los Angeles outpost has quickly become a favorite among diners seeking a refined night out paired with exceptional seafood and prime cuts. With a 4.4-star rating across more than a thousand reviews, it's clear that both longtime steakhouse enthusiasts and first-time visitors leave impressed by the consistency and quality on offer.

The menu reads like a love letter to indulgence, featuring USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood towers, and a raw bar that rivals dedicated seafood houses. Signature cuts like the bone-in ribeye and filet mignon are cooked precisely to order, while starters such as truffle mac and cheese and jumbo lump crab cakes set the tone for the meal ahead. Seafood lovers gravitate toward the chilled shellfish platters and the miso Chilean sea bass, while the extensive wine list and craft cocktail program complement every course.

Inside, the atmosphere strikes a balance between energetic and upscale, with a lively bar scene up front giving way to a more intimate dining room in back. Dark wood accents, warm lighting, and plush leather seating create a sophisticated backdrop that feels both modern and timeless. The open kitchen adds a touch of theater, letting diners catch glimpses of the sizzling steaks and seafood preparations that define the Steak 48 experience.

Whether celebrating a special occasion, hosting a business dinner, or simply craving a memorable steakhouse experience while in Beverly Hills, Steak 48 delivers on every front. Its combination of high-quality ingredients, attentive service, and vibrant ambiance make it a destination worth planning an evening around, appealing to both loyal regulars and visitors looking to indulge in one of the city's premier steakhouse experiences.

Reserve a table in the main dining room rather than the bar for a quieter, more intimate experience, especially on weekend nights.

№ 04 · The Verdict

What earns the 6.7

01
The chophouse formula, executed

Bone-in ribeye and jumbo lump crab cakes cover the two tests a steakhouse has to pass, and the menu record shows both landing consistently.

02
Bar versus dining room

The energetic front bar and the calmer back room split one restaurant into two occasions, and knowing which one was booked matters more than the entree order.

03
Prices earn the moment

This reads as a legitimate special-occasion or client-dinner room rather than an occasion tax charged for a room that photographs well but plates like a chain.

How we score

The Insider Score is our own 10-point editorial rating, set by the writer who covers the room. It is never an average of other sites’ stars, and it is never for sale. It weighs three things:

01Track record

How highly a kitchen rates, across how many diners, over how long.

02Consistency

Whether recent diners still agree with the long-term verdict.

03Distinction

What the kitchen does that its category does not.

Steak 48 earns a 6.7, great on our scale for Steakhouses in Los Angeles.
