For once we find a steakhouse that has neither excessive kitchen pretension nor locations across both country and county. This Back Bay yearling is a local product where leather booths, looming torchieres and a vaulted gold-leaf ceiling make for a dramatic setting that ably feeds the self- importance of the suited diners.

From the outside looking in, the menu is a just-creative- enough assortment of flesh and flourishes like a pan-seared crabcake with fruit salsa or a bone-in filet with a portobello demi-glace. Still, something is missing here -- namely, the primal aged sweetness of the kind of meat that makes a place like Brooklyn's Peter Luger a legend. That said, the prime New York sirloin and prime rib are the cleanup hitters in the meat lineup, while the porterhouse falls short of the feral delight a great steakhouse should always deliver.

  • My Favorite!

    I absolutely love this Restaurant. My son introduced us to Abe and Louie's, and we loved it so much that we had his rehearsal dinner upstairs in the Restaurant. The best time ever.

    Review rating : 5out of 5   Jbrentfinnegan - 06/11/2008

    Abe & Louies is without question the best all around steak house that I have experienced. My business/entertainment travels take me to every major US city and without question this is the finest all around business venue I've seen. The steaks, chops, seafood, service, atmosphere and bar experience are unrivaled.

  • Worth the trip into Boston!

    My husband and I got a much deserved night out and decided to visit Abe & Louie's. We were glad we did. The service was top notch but the food really stole the show...the crab cakes were delicious...I was trying to get the server to share their recipe it was so good.The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. I had the sangia, and it was the best I ever had! Next time I will be sure to save room for dessert!

  • Best In Boston

    Review rating : 5out of 5   WildWest1213 - 06/11/2008

    I have been fortunate enough to have been to every high end steak house in Boston. Many of them are very good but Abe and Louies is the best because of the very high quality of food. Yes it can get crowded and noisey but that is just part of the experience in this landmark. If you had one night in Boston this would be the sure shot place to go.

  • Excellent every single time
