Abe & Louie's Boston Reviews
This was one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to.
It was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. The server was friendly and knowledgeable, the sommelier made a great recommendation on wine. It was one of the best bowls of clam chowder I have ever had. The steaks we selected were cooked pe
Perfect old school steak house.
Chris our server was on point along w the food. Would recommend! Cheers
Abe & Louie's is to steak as Red Lobster is to lobster.
The food was awful. The service was even worse. The waiter leaned over a half wall that was directly next to our table the entire time he spoke to us, so he was literally towering above our table and heads. It was unnerving. Lots of screaming babies.

Abe and Louies Boston- went there to celebrate my sons birthday - he goes there every year for his birthday- he always gets a burger and says they are the best he has ever had- BUT - this year we are seated in the dining room and he orders one, the r
The bone in ribeye was okay.
Nothing to rave about. I would give it a 6/10 when it comes to ribeyes. Coming from Chicago to visit Boston. For $89 I did expect a bit more flavor. I should have tried Grill 23 for comparison.
What a beautiful restaurant! Very attentive and friendly
What a beautiful restaurant! Very attentive and friendly staff! The food was amazing! I love the ambiance! French onion soup in the mini tureen was just the best!

We've been here multiple times since. But have decided to update the review after the recent visit. On the evening of August 15, 2025, my party and I dined at Abe & Louie's and received rushed and dismissive service from Janice H. We w
Third visit there was Sunday afternoon for lunch 8/9.
Outstanding service and food!! We sat in a high top right behind the bar and were greeted immediately by the nicest bar tender. All through lunch consistent great service. Burgers are the best as well as the cosmos. Will be back again!!
Fine Lunch Choice
This is a large and attractive restaurant that is a good place for lunch. The food is very good, the setting is pleasant and conversation is easy-it is pretty quiet, at least at lunch time. Prices are high, however, which is certainly to be expected
Not good
Food was not good order the swordfish asked to have it cooked med rare not over cooked but they only cook it one way an was well cooked , same with the salmon over cooked, had the veal chop asked for it med rare to rare came out medium well done t
Not worth the price
Abe & Louie's, Boston, though quite expensive, is average at best. The restaurant is clean and neat. Our table had a double white tablecloth that was immaculate. the restrooms are very clean. The dinnerware was all presented properly and bro
Spectacular evening!
We enjoyed our dinner from start to finish! Our waiter Vlad was top notch! We started with cocktails that we thought were delicious. I had the beet salad and liked it and my husband had the wedge and enjoyed it. Large portions! We had the surf &
Date night after marathon
Great experience during well deserved treat, after the maraton. Team was very friendly and professional, service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend to anyone for 5* steak and lobster. Thank you to Jon for looking after us and Bruno for help
Worst treatment ever
Was treated poorly by the staff who pardoned an older man’s sexual assault because “he is a regular”-the managers words. Never coming here again
Fine Lunch Choice
This is a large steak house in Back Bay. For lunch it is a very good choice: Service was reasonably quick, the food was good and the options were plentiful. At least at lunch time it was reasonably quiet too, making conversation easy.
Noise - not enjoying the dinner
Good meat - mashed potatoes not good And now the experience: terrible noise from other guests. Need noise cancelling panels in the big area. We just ate and left did not enjoy the food. And cost was $270 for one hour dining. Leaving with headache

Made a birthday dinner reservation here on a Tuesday night.
The place was packed, so the slow service was expected. However, our waiter was rude, made us feel awkward for asking questions about the menu and rarely checked on us. We had to flag people down to order another drink and ask for a steak knife. When

Top notch, great experience! If you're looking for something a step (or two) above the rest, this is your place. Everything you'd expect from a select steak house. Service, atmosphere, food quality, presentation, etc. I don't mind paying a little mor

I love this restaurant! I have been twice with my family and we love everything we order. The steak is delicious, mashed potatoes great, wine delicious. The only thing I would note is ambiance differs pretty significantly throughout the restaurant so
Some things are just too good to be true.
A year ago, I dubbed this as the best steak I ever had. I was excited to return here for my birthday dinner, and unfortunately left disappointed. The service was subpar (some might say rude), our steaks were not cooked to our request and had to be

This place has always been close to our hearts! For 20+ years. Tonight wasn't the best. Initial greeting was strange, table was in the main walkway. Reservations were made a couple months ago? Service fell flat. Our server never introduced herself

Just for the heck of it, looked back to see if any management or staff from Abe & Louie's responded to the review that I left on 4/21/24- one week ago. I think I might put it on a couple different social media outlets to see if they respond. It

We were there on a Sunday, the brunch was very good, recommended. Very good atmosphere and very good service! We recommend it, we will return.
I have been coming Abe &Louies for close to 15-20 years.
I was very disappointed tonight. Food was terrible, gone way down hill. There are people dressed in sweatpants, sneakers, and tye-dyed T-shirts. Come on Abe & Louie's, I will not be recommending this as a top steakhouse in Boston, Moo (anothe

Great steak house conveniently located in Back Bay.
The food is great and the servers are very friendly and welcoming.

What shocked me was a worn indifference to the presentation and cleanliness of the place. It's a declining dowager that was once beautiful, but time has taken its toll. Resting on laurels also manifests in dull steak knives, listless side dishes, and

WOW! We didn't have any reservation for this night so when we were able to walk in and be seated immediately we were happy. The restaurant was packed and the ambiance was 10/10 with dimmed lights in an elevated and classy scenery. We loved our server

The food is very well worth the money for the special occasion dinner we had planned. It was highly noisy. The tables are fairly close together. (NO FAULT TO RESTURANT) I won't fault the restaurant for the rude group of men that sat two tables over
Fantastic leek soup and cod on restaurant menu
I went for restaurant week. The Leek soup was smooth and fantastic! It was amazing. The bbq cod was also very good! The steaks are always done perfectly. I will return.
A Really Good Night For Eating Steak
We thoroughly enjoy eating at Abe & Louie's. It has a really upbeat environment and a unique steakhouse decor. The steaks are alway good and cooked to perfection. My wife eats their salmon. We had au gratin potatoes and a iceberg blue cheese
We love it but we want this place to be better.
Creamed Spinach: Too greasy can’t even taste the spinach, not up to the steak house standards. Lobster Ravioli: the sauce doesn’t do it for the lobster. Sauce was so underwhelming we didn’t eat the rest of the lobster. Waste. We absolutely love
So Loud !!
Always love Abe & Louie’s but last night noise was excessive. So so loud. Celebrating my mom’s 91st birthday but could not hear conversation at our table despite round table for 6 at the window. Table next to us left due to noise (actually
Too noisy to eat…
We went in and couldn’t hear each other speak. It was like a sports bar… With hundreds of people and meat dishes stsrting at 68 $… So, for the first time in my life, we left without having had a meal… So, I can’t say anything about the food
Great food, GREAT NOISE!!!
LOUD LOUD LOUD!!! OMG!!! The steaks were great, really good. Drinks were fabulous -- we didn't have to wait long at all for drinks or for the meal. The service was a little nutso -- kind of reminded me of the scene in "Polar Express" where
Food is better than the service
It's not good enough when you arrive at the time of your booking and you're 'invited' to wait at the bar for 15mins. If I kept the restaurant waiting 15mins I'd loose the table!!! A smile from Alain wouldn't have gone a miss either. Agree with many
Should have ordered from Outback…
Sorry to say this, but we visited here this past weekend after seeing the rave reviews. We had a reservation and still waited a while to be seated. Four of us each ordered steak. 2 of us ordered 8oz filets cooked med-well. One came out perfect, the o
Connect with users posting reservations for Abe & Louie's Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Abe & Louie's Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Abe & Louie's Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Abe & Louie's Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Abe & Louie's Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Abe & Louie's Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
