Boston Chops South End

Absolutely great experience. Boston Chops exceeds expectations every time.We tried some of the house cocktails, apps, steaks and sides oh and dessert of course. Nothing was anything but perfect. I loved the Savannah cocktail. We had the tomahawk steak which was on special. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Well worth the price. Asparagus was perfectly cooked, spicy broccoli was flavorful without being too hot, potatoes were great too.Service was exceptional including the waiter bringing a candle for the birthday boy which we didn't ask for!!! I did mark the reservation as a birthday dinner but never thought to ask about a candle. They went over and above in my opinion. I also like that they don't bring the staff over to sing. They lit the candle and left us to do our own celebration, 1000% percent appreciated the privacy and thoughtfulness. We've been here before, we will be back again. Boston Chops is a favorite for sure!!!

The ambience of the place is very nice and feels like fine dining I recommend making reservations on the weekends cause it does get busy. The service was amazing our waiter was very helpful in recommending different drinks and foods based off what we told him we liked. The grilled wagyu and salmon both came with a lot of food (fries specifically) and left you very full. The salmon itself was a bit bland it did need a bit of salt on it or lime but overall was cooked great. The wagyu was cooked to perfection and the salad that came with it was also very good due to the dressing on it. The bone marrow was also very delicious it was my first time trying and I was not disappointed. I ordered a mixed medium drink ( I asked for a fruity tasting drink) and it was pretty good. I would definitely come back here cause my experience here was great and the food was pretty good and came with a lot.

Honestly this experience was tainted by our poor service, which is unfortunate. We were greeted and seated at our table. Our server came over and took our drink orders. He did not really greet us or introduce himself. When he came back, we ordered our appetizers and he asked if we knew what we wanted for our meals. When we said we hadn't decided yet, he seemed annoyed. Side note, later in the night we heard another server telling his table about specials, we were never informed there were specials, which was a bit annoying. For appetizers, we got the Caesar salad, which was phenomenal! And I got the French onion soup, which was good but not worth the $19 they charge. When we were ready to order entrees, I asked about the fried chicken and how it was. His response was something along the lines of it's fine, but this is a steak house.... I should have known by his response not to get the fried chicken, but I did it anyway and regretted my decision. The skin was so bland. It literally had no flavor at all. My husband got the bone in ribeye and he really enjoyed it. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. For sides, we got the onion ring tower, which was expensive, and once again, nothing too exciting. We also got the truffle fries which were good. Our food came out hot and the presentation was great! Back to the service, our drinks (my water and my husbands tea) went empty several times throughout our meal which is one of my pet peeves. Our server would come check on us and we would have to ask for refills. I expect at any upscale restaurant, refills should come without having to ask. At one point, towards the end of our entrees, our server literally just took the sweetener container away. My husband's tea glass was sitting there empty, and he had wanted a refill. Instead of asking if he wanted a refill, he just took the sweetener. It was so weird, my husband and I just looked at each other. When he came back the next time, we asked for another tea and then he had to bring the sweetener back. The ambiance of the restaurant was great! The colors, textures, and dim lighting made for a great romantic vibe. I loved the huge wine cellar and the bar, both great decor. My last complaint was I had put on our open table reservation that we were celebrating. Not that we were expecting anything for free, but our server didn't even mention it or ask what we were celebrating. I'm not sure if he just didn't care or if this was an oversight at some point, but either way, that was a bit frustrating. Overall, we spent $270 here before tip. We got a lot of food, like I just said, we were celebrating. The ambiance was lovely, the food was great (although I personally would have gotten a different entree and skipped on the onion ring tower in hindsight)... and with that we would have gladly came back, but with the poor service, I'm not sure we will.

The overall experience here was good but there were a few factors that dropped it down. The first thing you notice when you walk in the doors is that it smells extremely musty. It's a really overwhelming smell. I know old Boston building can get that musty smell but I was really surprised with how potent it was in a pricy steakhouse. We went on a Tuesday and had a party of 12 for a corporate event. We knew to expect a longer wait for drinks and food but it took almost a half hour before we were asked for our appetizer orders and another half hour to order entrees. We got there at 6:30 and it was almost 10:30pm by the time we left. This wasn't because our group was overly chatty- they were actually pretty eager to finish up and have an early night before all of our meetings picked up speed- but because the speed of service was exceptionally slow. There were only a few other small tables that night. In terms of our server, she was amazing. She worked extra hard and was such a doll to chat with when she had time. I think she could have used a second server to assist with her hard efforts.Now to the food. It was fantastic. Our group ordered a little bit of everything. I had the wagyu bavette with truffle fries. It was cooked perfectly and the fries were fresh, crisp, and seasoned well. The popover appetizer was 100% worth it. A must try! The wine selection was also extensive and had something for everyone.Overall the experience with our server was great and the food was delicious. The dining room could really use some air purifiers or something to clear out the off-putting musty smell and the backend service could be quicker, especially on a slow night.

Went for restaurant week and loved the service we got! The oysters were so fresh and delicious. The steaks were top notch and served with delicious sauce. The fries were so hot and kept coming ! The desserts left me even fuller but of course I had to try them!!

My go to steak spot!!! I've been here a dozen of times and have never had a bad meal ... or bad service!!! This place is so classy and chic inside, and the prices a reasonable for a nice steakhouse. Anywayyyyy ... gotta give this place a BIG FIVE STARS for how they treated us for my BFs dinner in January!!! Late review (d/t study life) ... but better late than never. We had a decent sized party that got a "little" rowdy with shots upon shots BUT still respectful, and our server was superb!!! She was friendly AND assertive ... and even said that we weren't bad at all. LOL!!! Everyone liked their food and their drinks and had the besttttt time!!! I wish I had gotten pix of all our food, but I was too busy having fun. Everything was amazing though. PROMISE!!

The inside is decorated wonderfully and the moody lighting creates the perfect setting for a date. Our server was also super quick and always ready to refill our water/answer any questions. So, definitely a great experience overall.We came for the restaurant week menu which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert per person. Here is a breakdown of the meal:Appetizers were ok. The croquettes were a miss for me. It was a bit dry and came with a tangy sauce that didn't pair well with the meat. Although creative, I don't think oxtail belongs in a fried ball.The steak tartare was decent. Their bread was toasted wonderfully and the gherkins/shallots added a good texture change as you bite through.Entrees were delicious.We both got steak frites with different cuts of meat. The steaks were cooked perfectly, fries were crispy and SO good, and the arugula salad was the perfect balance for the heaviness of the dish.Dessert was a great finish.The sticky toffee pudding is a winner. It was warm with a sweet caramel flavor which paired perfectly with the smooth ice cream.I'd recommend the chocolate cake to those who love a decadent dessert (and someone that likes dark chocolate). It's thick and rich, but the portion is just right so you won't feel clogged up with chocolate.

Really nice atmosphere- classic steakhouse vibes, so dark and moody. Our server was helpful and they even put a birthday candle in our dessert. Overall the food was good - we ordered a special, which was a dry aged porterhouse, but we wished we had gotten the ribeye. The porterhouse leaned pretty dry even at medium rare. I agree with others it would've benefited with more salt. I like the sauce flight option a lot but I wouldn't say the sauces are great. The patata bravas had a great seasoning but we were told they were crispy potatoes, and they came out very soft. The sticky toffee pudding was definitely the star of the night. It was well balanced for such a sweet dessert. Cocktails were also great. Just FYI valet was not available when we went since previous reviews had mentioned a valet.We also had an unfortunate experience with my reservation - it was cancelled due to another event and the manager left a message to reschedule us and offer complimentary drinks or appetizer. I called back and left a message to reschedule and asked if brunch also offered the dinner menu, and no one ever called me back or reached out to me so I just made a new reservation on my own. That left a bad taste in my mouth since I had reached back out with a question and no one followed up.

Boston Chops has been one of my favorite steakhouses and I love that it is only 7 minutes walk from my house.The ambiance is classy and service is splendid. The food always tastes amazing!

Let me start by stating how much I have cherished Boston Chops over the years. Historically, this has been my 'go to' neighborhood restaurant - great staff, great food. We come in at least twice a month. But things have changed. Our server was literally waiting on every table (inside and out) AND even was making our cocktails. Very short-staffed - which I know is a bigger issue, but this was a weeknight and the restaurant was probably about 25% full. The food quality also seems to be on the decline. Presentation has gone by the wayside and there have been small changes in quality - like downgraded salad dressing (watery and definitely not made in house) and pre packaged cheese crumbles. We LOVE coming to Boston Chops - please don't cut corners on food quality and burn out your staff! We need you guys in the neighborhood!
