About Us

Our chef and his team at Ocean 48 make each dish from scratch daily using only the freshest ingredients to uphold the highest quality standards.

James Beard-nominated brothers Jeffery and Michael Mastro have dedicated their careers to shaping and enhancing the fine dining scene. Building on the success of Steak 44, Jeffery and Michael—alongside their father Dennis and business partner Scott Trolio—launched Ocean 48 in Newport Beach. This upscale establishment offers a diverse array of the freshest seafood and globally sourced USDA Prime Steak and Wagyu, delivering a coastal dining experience like no other.

As you explore our menu, you’ll discover a spectrum of exquisite flavors—from our rich and nutty caviar to the tender grass fed New York strip. At Ocean 48, we take pride in offering sustainably sourced, fresh seafood from around the globe and succulent Midwestern beef.

Our commitment to using high-quality ingredients and precise cooking techniques helps us create appetizers, side dishes, and entrées that leave guests satisfied. Each dish is served a la carte, allowing you to customize your meal how you want.
