Ocean 48 focuses on fresh seafood and fine steaks .

Brothers Jeffery and Michael Mastro — who founded and sold their namesake Mastro ’ s chain — opened OCEAN 48 over the summer at Fashion Island . The contemporary fine seafood and steak dining experience by the James Beard-nominated siblings , alongside their father Dennis and business partner Scott Trolio , features a glass-enclosed show kitchen that will deliver fresh fish and shellfish of the highest quality from around the world . The Mastros will also focus on the great steaks they are known for , featuring USDA Prime and wagyu beef , including a very rare Kobe A5 wine-fed offering . Ocean 48 ’ s unique coastal feel incorporates an interior reflection pool as well as a collection of intimate dining rooms and private suites . ( 949-989-0048 ; ocean48 . com ) — Clara Beard
