Steak 48

This is a fine dining restaurant with super high standards the hypocrisy of this place is somewhat overwhelming although they expect perfection from you they are not perfect themselves and they treat you horribly I didn't feel comfortable working there I felt like every little move I made was judged and they never confronted you about anything they just reprimanded you behind the scenes I've been warned about this company before even started working here because they are known for their way that they treat their employees like they're not even human beings they expect perfection yet they are not perfect and like I said they are total hypocrites they would give me very small stations for a mistake that I would  make but give other servers larger stations than they could handle.imoney is great if you can work like that but I couldnt.never have I'd been treated so poorly. the gm is  a mastro and I'm sure that's the only reason he has this job.the fact that they are always looking for help is a big red flag.

I've been in the industry for over 20 years and I've not hated an employer until I worked here. They are guest focused, but as far as employees go, there's no respect for them. It's not just the local management, but also corporate. Yes, there's a staff shortage, but that's the majority of restaurants nationwide and they don't make any consessions to accommodate their employees. My experience in the short time there has been the management not honoring requests or availability and then undermining one another, being over worked (6 days a week 60+hour weeks when I was told 4 days during the interview), and the only opportunity to eat is prior to a 10-12 hour shift, not being able to order food at the end of the shifts, however managers sit down nightly at a table or bar and have dinner.
In short, I worked there for 2 months and I couldn't take it anymore.

The other hostess (mostly) are horrible. They talk behind your back and act nice in front of you. The managers think it’s okay to get super comfortable around you. They are basically so close to you and invade your personal space. Payment is horrible. They have you get paid the lowest while the other girls are getting paid $23-25 an hour. On top of that, they give them priority because they were there before you. They don’t treat you as equal as the rest. You get scheduled at 10 am but have to leave at 8pm or at whatever time they tell you to leave. And if you leave, you get written up. We don’t get free lunch either. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money you make (unmatched anywhere else), support from management & Corporate, the Company really believes in doing better than most Companies in this business and they take care of their employees

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with other employees who don't understand it is a professional environment and don't work as hard as the rest of us

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is great - the Company invests a lot money into training and ensuring your know what you are doing before you are allowed to be on the floor and it is a fun and high energy place to work


I worked at Steak 48 and, in my opinion, the work environment is heavily influenced by favoritism and discrimination. The long-standing hostesses often treat newcomers poorly, making condescending comments and constantly reminding you that they are superior. This created a toxic atmosphere. They frequently reported even the smallest issues to management, adding to the stress.

The only positive aspect of working at Steak 48 was the guests; they were delightful and made the shifts more bearable. However, the management tends to overwork employees, which diminishes the overall experience.


Not the worst place to work besides the lack of flexibility in hours/ time off, impatient management, expectation that you already know what you're doing. Ive worked at corporate places before, and while theyre all brand focused and bad management, I was given better benefits and job security. I'm not sure what the rest of the locations are like, but this one seemed like it was trying to uphold a high brand standard, but not being as organized as they should be. 

This Restaurant and it’s owners, are strictly about money. Staff turnover is extremely high, including management. No work-life balance, no understanding for personal life, little to no respect for employees. You have to be robotic and “perfect” in their eyes. MGMT is highly unprofessional with relationships with the staff and you job can be gone in the blink of an eye. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The training was very meticulous and of course the money

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No breaks for 8-12 hours.  Everyone fighting/backstabbing; very toxic work environment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was extremely toxic.  Constantly on edge for fear of making even 1 mistake and getting fired.  Servers backstabbing/ridiculing.  TOXIC!

Favoritism runs deep here. Newbees will get the worst shifts and hours. Training is long and all over the place. Very limited movement within company. The job itself is easy but management will make it hard for you to do your job. Be prepared to be thrown under the bus my management to satisfy every customer. Managers can also be bullied and force you to pick up shifts tou werent scheduled for and will schedule you on days off. Very unprofessional and not worth the stress. 

Came from previous fine dining restaurant....so general fine dining experience...

on your week of training they will expect you to work like a full time employee all while paying you minimum wage.
i was supposed to be following one of the server assistants and a manager came up to me and told me that i was not working fast enough.... while i was training to do my job... mind you that i've done before.
simply disrespectful and rude toxic worker/management relationship... left not even 10 minutes later.
