Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

• Steakhouse • Solana Beach
Booked 38 times today
Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries. The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

    From the minute we arrived to the end of our meal, we were VERY satisfied. Our server, Kelsey, was very friendly and helpful and was very attentive. We were three elderly friends and she made us feel welcome. Our food was promptly served and absolutely delicious! Two orders of Baja tacos and a fish and chips! We cleaned our plates! The afternoon couldn’t have been better!

    An Absolutely Incredible Dining Experience at Steak 48! We dined at Steak 48 last night to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and WOW — we were blown away! From start to finish, this was a 10/10 experience, and every bite exceeded our expectations. We started with the Chicken Fried Lobster Tail and Torched Scallops topped with caviar, and both were phenomenal! For our main course, we shared the 22oz bone-in ribeye cooked to a perfect medium. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! The sides were just as incredible: Shells N Cheese, Blistered Shishito Peppers, and Boursin Whipped Mash. We honestly couldn’t pick a favorite! A detail we loved was the heated plates that kept our food warm throughout the meal. It’s the little touches that make a difference! A huge shoutout to our server, Ean, who made the evening extra special! He was attentive, energetic, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. As a foodie, I LOVE when a server makes thoughtful recommendations and shares their enthusiasm for the food. Ean delivered on every level! His assistant, Raul, was equally awesome and helped make the service exceptional. We felt so well taken care of by the entire team! To top it all off, we were gifted a complimentary Vanilla Caramel Cake for dessert! 🍰 It was decadent and delicious, reminiscent of butter cake but just a tad sweeter. Served warm with vanilla ice cream, it was absolutely heavenly! The warm cake and cold, creamy ice cream were the perfect combination and such a thoughtful birthday surprise. Steak 48 exceeded every expectation. Amazing food, impeccable service, and an elevated atmosphere made this the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. 10/10 across the board! If you’re looking for an unforgettable steakhouse experience, Steak 48 is a must. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! 🥩🥂✨
