- NNeilGreater Boston •49 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy 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!More infoAbe & Louie’s - BostonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Back Bay•4.7
- SscotDallas - Fort Worth •16 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoA great experience for Valentine’s Day. We did not eat the special menu. We started with short rib poutine. A very reasonable portion with great flavor. The wife did the seared duck breast from the standard menu which she enjoyed. I did the prime rib which was a perfect medium for me. Came with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Incredible taste and very tender. We skipped dessert but Jose that came out looked good.More infoThe Bistro at LaBelle Winery AmherstPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Amherst•4.7
- DDanielNew Hampshire •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoBuckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.More infoBuckley's Great SteaksPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Merrimack•4.7
- MMaureenVIPGreater Boston •26 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.More infoPammy'sPrice: Very Expensive• American• Cambridge•4.8
