Came from State College, PA and had a wonderful meal here! Amber was so sweet and kind and the service was amazing. Definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area!!

After exploring the Bottleworks District, we swung into Forty Five Degrees and were immediately drawn to their open-air patio--such a great spot to relax and people-watch! The vibe is slightly upscale but approachable, offering a mix of Americanized dishes and a decent-sized sushi menu. We ordered a few chef's specialty rolls along with some sake, and everything was well-executed. The rolls were nicely balanced in flavor and texture, and I appreciated that they were cut proportionally--none of those awkward oversized pieces. Overall, it was a pleasant experience sitting on the patio and enjoying a quick bite. It's a solid choice if you're in the area and craving sushi in a casual yet polished atmosphere!

I came here for dinner and had the shrimp scampi with a blueberry lemon drop, and everything was amazing! The scampi was super filling--plenty of shrimp and perfectly cooked pasta--and the drink was strong but really tasty (definitely recommend if you like fruity cocktails with a little kick--and a yummy sugary rim). i also had the french 45 and that was super strong and on the brut side if you like that kind of thing. The vibe was cute and modern but got nice and cozy once the lights dimmed later in the evening. It felt just right for a first date--relaxed but still a little fancy. My date said they enjoyed their food and drinks too, so that's a win! And the service was low key, and attentive which is what i prefer If you're looking for a spot with good food, great drinks, and a chill but romantic atmosphere, this is definitely worth checking out

I came in thinking I'd grab the lunch special but ended up getting a specialty roll. The lunch special only offers the basic rolls with a soup or salad. I can tell the food is made to order because when it came out, it was fresh. Service was amazing. The staff is so friendly and very attentive. Was able to walk in and take a seat. Lots of windows so very light and bright with nice music playing. If it's your first time, like mine, lunch is a great time to try. Mass Ave gets busy at night and on the weekends so parking could probably be a headache. I would definitely come back and try some more rolls.

This was my second time dinning at forty-five degrees. I had the orange glazed chicken. The meal comes with a bed of rice, broccoli and orange chicken garnished with an orange slice. Our server was amazing and patient and gave us some amazing recommendations on what we should order from drinks to food and dessert. favorite options on what

Ordered over the phone for pickup. Girl who I was transferred to took great care with my order offering up suggestions and substitutions. When I arrived she had lovingly packed it and included everything for me to eat as my dinner on the airplane. The male bartender jumped in and rung me up as she prepared other to-go orders. Real team work. And pleasant. No great picks since I jostled it a bit in a cross-Chicago airport sprint between connecting flights. Close up on leftovers that survived.
