Abe & Louie's

★★★★☆ 4 (1763) • $$$

"I would consider Abe and Louise, a boutique style steakhouse, being that they only have two locations; Boca Raton, Florida, and Boston, Massachusetts. I have been to both locations now and I must say I am very happy with the service, ambience, food, quality, differentiation of products.From my daughter's 19th birthday, she decided she wanted to go for a meal at a steakhouse specifically in downtown Boston we decided to come here after a so-so experience at the palm restaurant in Boston as well as a terrible meal at Smith and Wolinsky up in Burlington Massachusetts. I called the restaurant ahead of time to notify them of my daughter's birthday and to ask them if I could bring a dairy free cake as she has a sensitivity. I was told that that was absolutely fine and they do not charge for bringing in your own birthday celebration cake The food was out of this world, and I still have cravings for the brussels sprout sides, as well as the creamed spinach. As I write this, I'm also thinking about the large hash brown, which was also equally amazing. From the bread that was brought to the table to hitting the temperatures on the steaks and sitting right by the windows it was a wonderful dining experience. The only thing that I would suggest going forward is that they figure out a way to distinguish between flatwater classes and sparkling water glasses Because on three separate times, the buses came over to fill our cups with flatwater one in fact we had sparkling. One of the times we didn't catch them and they essentially ruined our water. We needed to have them fix this by giving us a new bottle of water.We will be back. It was a great meal."

Grill 23 & Bar

"One of my favorite spots to go to for special occasions! Grill 23 & Bar has been around for many years now and does not have as much of a modern look as the newer steakhouses in Boston but the food still continues to win me over! I enjoy their fried calamari fra diavolo appetizerc seared scallops, and filet mignon oscar style! Desserts here are also a must. Lots of street parking available around, as well. I still think Grill 23 & Bar is a lot better than many of the newer spots... food quality & taste wise. An Oldie but STILL a goodie!"

Boston Chops South End

★★★★☆ 4 (767) • $$$

"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."

Davio's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (711) • $$$

"Davio's offers, upscale Italian dining, in the heart of Boston proper, it's affluent Back Bay. It's close enough to the theater district to catch a meal before your show.Sadly, on the day we came for lunch, the service was very, very, very slow... Even though the place was empty. It took a half an hour for us to get our check, after we asked for it, and my friend was late for her doctors appointment. My friend dines there often, and claims this was atypical. I can only review my experience.I ordered the gluten-free pizza, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was pretty good. Keep your expectations realistic. The crust is gluten-free, and not gonna taste like Italian bread. But, it did taste like a chewy pastry bread. THE DEAL: if you're looking for some of the best gluten-free pizza in Boston, it might be at Davio's!"

"Food: Crab Cakes ($24) - solid quality, nice that there were not any shell bits in there, roasted red pepper coulis and chipotle aioli sauce on the side was a nice combo of savory and spicy to complement the crab cakes, cucumber salad on the side was a refreshing way to complement the crab cakes as wellStuffed French Toast with raspberry preserves ($20)- pretty good, good amount of tasty raspberry preserves in there along with the mascarpone cheese, toast could've been a bit fluffier though, bacon on the side was normal but a bit too crispy for meAtmosphere: Classic American restaurant vibes with a bar area and decent amount of other table seating, pretty nice spaceService: Okay service speed, pretty friendly waiter, no wait for a weekend brunchOverall: Pretty good American brunch spot, slightly on the pricier side but not bad"

The Stockyard Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (516) • $$$

"The Stockyard keeps going to the bitter end! First, great parking lot. It's huge. It also feels quieter, and belies how close you are to Boston. The restaurant is also huge, I think I counted three dining rooms and a huge bar. I got there on the later side, and even as people were slowly filing out the servers kept going with food and drinks. Fantastic staff!The portions were huge. My burger was delicious and well seasoned. The fries were a bit of a mix in crisp, but if I lived in the area it would have been enough for lunch the next day."

Oliveira's Steak House

★★★★☆ 4 (391) • $$$

"Meats Meats! Meats! It's been a while since we've been to a Brazilian steakhouse so we were super excited to try Oliveira. We made reservations online and we were quickly seated as soon as we got there. We went with the first option on their dinner menu which was an all you can eat buffet and juicy meats served at your table. The restaurant is bustling and fast paced but we quickly got the rhythm down of flagging down the meat servers and asking for more. We did utilize the salad buffet but we didn't want to get too full because all we wanted was the meats! I liked the basket full of goodies that they served us as soon as we sat down. It was filled with yucca fries, plantains, bacon wrapped bread and Brazilian cheese bread. Everything was yummy! The meats did not disappoint! They were juicy and some were saltier than others which I love because I love salt! We couldn't get enough of the grilled pineapple that was like a nice palate cleanser in-between different meat tastings. They were also very generous with the slices, they cut up some beefy chunks of meat each time. By the end of dinner we were stuffed but very satisfied! I can't wait to dine here again! It was so much fun and so much food!"

Redstone American Grill

"Becca was awesome. It's at a great location plenty of parking for free. The Establishment itself is so beautiful, they have outdoor seating and a patio that has a fireplace. The boots are very comfy and super spacious. We went for my daughter's 18th birthday, the food was all right. I had the crusted haddock, there's this sauce that comes on it that I didn't particularly like. I didn't like the crust on the haddock as well so I barely ate it. My asparagus was good, and the mashed potatoes are delicious as well. I couldn't decide between the meatloaf and the haddock so I ended up getting a headache and the meatloaf to go. This is where I messed up I should have went with the meatloaf because it was so freaking good. I suggest that on the menu above anything else. I also tried the burger the salmon and the rotisserie chicken. I sampled a little bit of everybody's food and trust me the meatloaf is the best. Becca suggested this Sauvignon Blanc and it was really good so shout out to her"

"So my daughter and I were looking for a steak place in the area and came across here. I live in Boston my whole life, and I've never heard of this place, I've been in Arlington, and the Lord knows how many times and never even seen it. It is a little gem, and I'm glad I found it. Upon entering, you're greeted by a really nice hostess, then seated everyone is so polite and so kind. It has an old style rustic Steakhouse look, and I love that it's them in there, so it was exactly the atmosphere I was looking for. They have a pretty good menu, you can find something for everyone on there. From burgers to pasta, seafood, and steaks, they have a variety of things to pick from. Catherine was my server, and she suggested I get the Teriyaki steak tips because I was already considering the steak tips, and she was not wrong. I trusted her advice because she was such a great server and had that on his vibe. I got a side of baked potato and it was really good usually when you go to certain restaurants baked potatoes be so dry that's a question if it's even a real potato but not here it's so good. My daughter had a burger and she also liked it the only problem was there were no pickles which is very weird. My other dislike is I asked for a blended margarita it was very frothy and tasted so watery. Catherine didn't notice that I was drinking it and actually took it off my bill. I guess there are no complaints. All I thought about when I got home was I wish I had dessert but I was way too full, I can't remember the last time I went somewhere and actually finished all the food on my plate.. I was actually upset because I had one steak tip left, and I couldn't finish it, and I wanted it so bad. The prices are also unbelievable, Google the menu. They have a parking lot outside, so parking is no issue at all. All in all, I would definitely be going back here it might be a regular spot for me, at least until I try more of the food."

Black & Blue Steak and Crab

"Overall, our dinner at B&BS&C was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It wasn't perfect, as there were a few missteps along the way. But in each case, the issue was quickly corrected to our satisfaction and a credit to our serving team. The quality of the service, food, and atmosphere were top notch.On being seated, one thing that surprised me was that we were not given a wine list of wines by the bottle, just the drink list with wines by the glass. This list is available upon request, and perhaps they either don't have enough of the lists to go around, or many customers don't order wines by the bottle. They can be pricey here. But we were able to find a bottle of Spanish red wine we really liked at a reasonable price.Meal options are "talked through" quite well, food comes out quickly, and we were checked on constantly. My strip steak, while cooked exactly to order, was seared slightly more than expected. Everything else was spot on.Our biggest issue was with the oyster sampler. We ordered the sampler of 4 oysters, but 6 were brought to us. I told our server that we had only ordered 4, and he said our waiter gave us the other 2 gratis. However, when we received our check, we saw that we were indeed charged for them. After pointing this out, we were compensated quickly, but I suggest that if you order oysters and don't get the same number as you ordered, check your bill. That being said, the oysters were delicious!All in all, it was a fine and delicious evening. It's ironic that there's a B&BS&C only a couple of minutes from my home, yet I came to this one, 3 hours away, first... gotta hit the one in Albany now."

"Classic! Been coming here for years. I drop in now and then to enjoy a beer, clam chowder, and a sizzler with mashed.It's clean, fair priced, honest food/business here. Not many places like that left. Every server and bartender has been more than kind. The maitre'd is the best! He's been there for a long time and between him and the other host, it's warm service from the second you walk in!"

"This is an excellent place to eat.I have had the prime rib and the baked stuffed shrimp. I would say both of those meals are definitely two of the best options on their menu. Both of those dishes come with potatoes and vegetables.The stuffing they make for the shrimp is very flavorful and the meal is very filling.The prime rib always comes out to me cooked just the way I like it and is always delicious.They have plenty of comfortable seating and the waitstaff is always pleasant and provides excellent service.I always enjoy eating here."

Rare Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226) • $$$$

"I am not sure where my previous review disappeared to?? Anyways, this was going to be an update, but I guess it will be an original. I've been frequenting Rare Steakhouse since it opened. I've spent many a birthday dinner, special occasions, and just hanging out eating a nice steak here. Tonight I took my mom to enjoy the ambience of the best steakhouse in Boston. We both ordered the prime rib for her the queen cut, and for myself the king. She ordered hers medium well, and it came out exactly perfect. Of course I ordered mine medium rare and it was absolutely delicious. There is nothing like a huge cut of protein cooked exactly the way you dream about. In addition to the extremely well prepared protein, we both got horseradish, mashed potatoes with candied carrots, and sides. and I can't not mention the fabulous Ajou. The food is absolutely delicious. As for the service all I can say is impeccable, extremely polite, super prompt they don't miss a note. The hostesses are super attentive and right on point. The waiters spot on. The service didn't miss a beat. Everything was laid out perfectly. After our entrées and sides, we were to full to indulge in one of the fabulous desserts they have here. Every dessert that I have had in the past was delicious and usually it's a dessert that you can't get anywhere else. We did however indulge a little bit with a coffee and a double espresso for myself to cap off a fabulous meal. The atmosphere in this restaurant is top notch. I believe this is the best steakhouse in the Boston area not to mention that it is one of only 10 restaurants licensed in the United States with real Wagyu. I have had the Wagyu a few times in the past, and it just melts in your mouth. I do want to mention this time around we didn't get a seafood platter or tower but had to mention them. Also when you come here bring an appetite because everything is absolutely the best of the best. I would highly suggest to come here for your next special occasion. ENJOY‼"

I was traveling alone but noticed a couple families comfortably seated and enjoying their meals.The breakfast food was pretty good, nothing crazy. I suspect this restaurant has more to offer for lunch and dinner but I was out and about at those times."

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (205) • $$$

"Came here for a work-related dinner (meal served along with an educational talk) with a large group - so didn't really choose from any drinks or entrees but had a chance to try a salad and one of the pasta dishes (penne bolognese).Arugula salad with shaved parmesan cheese - was quite good - liked the flavor on this a lot. Went well with black pepper seasoning which one of the servers added to taste (I asked for a lot and my wish was granted).Penne Bolognese with veal, beef, pork. Got this loaded up with extra parmesan cheese as well because why not. Overall a nice pasta dish and the penne was cooked perfectly. Would have been nice to have a little more fillings/meat but overall the flavor was balanced and I was satisfied."

Ruth's Chris Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (140) • $$$$

"I dropped by this place after walking around Assembly Row. The restaurant had a nice outdoor patio underneath the arch of the Partners building. I ordered the Ruth's Classics prix fixe meal for $59. I got the caesar salad as an app, steak and shrimp as the entree, and creamed spinach as the accompanying side.The caesar salad consisted of romaine lettuce, croutons, shaved parmesan cheese and caesar dressing. It was spot on and delicious. As always, the medium rare steak never disappoints. The 6 ounce filet was warm and buttery on a sizzling plate. The creamed spinach was great as well.For dessert, I got the bread pudding with raisins, whisky sauce and fresh strawberries. Thumbs up!"

Boston Chops Downtown

★★★★☆ 3.7 (147)

"I came here with my foodies club in a party of 13 and we had a great time! Due to our party size, we were seated in what is effectively a private dining room downstairs that has a beautiful wine wall as its backdrop. It made the experience feel both intimate and exclusive. Our server, Brian, was not only very helpful with menu recommendations but he also got all the right angles for our group photos! We came for Dine Out Boston week and were happy to have a great meal. I started with the Wagyu dumplings with ginger, lemongrass broth, which was really an interesting appetizer. The lemongrass certainly came through in the broth and it was an enjoyable dish. I follow this with the hanger steak with peppercorn sauce, which was cooked perfectly at medium. I could've used a touch more of the sauce, but that is just a personal preference.The star of the show was the sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce. Chef's kiss! This was the best dessert I have had in recent memory. The cake was moist but not overly so, and I could've drunk a gallon of the butterscotch sauce. I wish I were still eating it right now! Move over, other steakhouses. Boston Chops is here to stay!"

"Okay, I am originally from New York and this seriously MIGHT be better than New York pizza! If not, it's a tie!!! This pizza is SO GOOD!!!!! It's also priced like old school pizza place prices! Two slices and a bottled drink for $5.50, you can't beat that!!!!! I have not had pizza this good in years! It is perfectly crunchy, cheesy and delicious!!! The crust is crispy but not rock hard or chewy! The staff were super friendly and helpful and it's in a great location! If you are wanting pizza GO HERE!!! It'll be the best decision you make today!!! I also got a slice of their cheesecake and it was wonderful too!!! This place is the best!!!"

Bisuteki Japanese Steak House

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (219)

"Honestly what you'd expect given the previous reviews and the fact that this is in a random hotel along Memorial Drive. The service was okay at best - the hostess was very inattentive and the servers weren't the most attentive. Our sushi roll and soups came out in a reasonable time which was nice. The ambiance felt relatively clean, however I will say thatrhe floor was sticky in the lobby of the hotel which you need to cross to get to the bathroom. Very strange.The chef was entertaining enough and did their best I think, but the show wasn't inspiring or anything. They had a normal hibachi show with shooting food in people's mouth and the onion fire which was overall not bad to see. The food that came out at the end wasn't spectacular either, just mediocre in flavor and portion. Overall, I went in with relatively low expectations and this place met them. Not a bad meal or experience, just not the greatest and there's likely better places to spend this amount of money."

"Yummy tacos right in the middle of Newbury, so a great reprieve from the overpriced patio experiences on Newbury. $6 tacos and horchata? Definitely a vibe when you're starving from shopping / window shopping. It's not mind blowing but they do have horchata which is so hard to find at most Mexican restaurants in the area - so major points for that!"

"I just tried Mineirao and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is great and the wait staff and owners are so kind. The food is 10.95 per pound or 39 to have fresh meats delivered to your table. The value is unbeatable. All the meat I had was juicy, tender and tasty and there are tons of salad and side options.They have live entertainment on friday nights as well. Check it out and support this new business!"
