Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Back Bay

Terrific experience, we will be back for sure! Service with Lucy was just incredible, she was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. We had a reservation that we had to change several times due to the inclement weather and the restaurant was very accommodating. Lucy should be commended for her excellent service.

My wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!

Reservations were at 3, we ran behind due to traffic, they were super accommodating. When we arrived we did not want a middle seat so we requested a booth which they also accommodated without an issue. I ordered the crab cake while my date ordered the octopus as apps, both delicious. For main dishes he had fish & chips (which was huge) while I had the haddock with potatoes and broccoli. I believe my dish was a bit on the saltier side but overall I did enjoy it. We paired our food with cocktails which were pretty and tasted good too. I recommend 8/10, prices are a bit on the expensive side due to it being on Boylston but worth the penny.

Had a great experience! We were celebrating a friends engagement and the service was unmatched!

Kat was a terrific server. I was meeting an old friend I had’t seen in 30 years. Kat was attentive, gave us time to catch up before we ordered and after we finished, but never stopped checking on us!
