Love Abe & Louie’s. The food and service was excellent. We were disappointed that brunch was not being served because I had called ahead and was told it would be.

This has been our family's favored Boston restaurant for holiday dinners over the past five years, and the interior seasonal decor was perfect as usual. The service we received earlier this week was magnificent, and the food, as always, was outstanding. Our family ordered beef, chicken and fish entrees, and they were all exquisitely prepared and thoroughly enjoyable. Special kudos to Mac, our waiter, who was one of the best fine dining servers that we've ever had the pleasure to meet, as he deftly handled the late arrival of one of our party's members, as well as the necessary considerations relating to my wife's seafood allergies. Spectacular cocktails and desserts were the icing on the cake. There's little doubt that our family will be returning to Grille 23 & Bar in 2025.
