    Amazing food and very good flavors! I will say the appetizers were rather small for the price. We got the okra and it was so good but there was probably less than 10 pieces and they weren't even big. The jackfruit sliders were fantastic and delicious but again, pretty small and the buns were dry. They should butter and toast the buns or use a different type of bun that's more moist. The jerk duck was perfect, no notes. My vegetarian boyfriend loved his mushroom dish. Our drinks were phenomenal. The ambience could be better, the lights were a bit too bright in my opinion. The space was really small so I think they didn't want to overdo it with the decorations but I think a few touches here and there to make the space less blank would be beneficial. The space lacked some coziness. But truly overall, great experience!

    I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

    Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

    Love the vibe of this place. Food was delicious. Service could have been better but not terrible. Overall we were happy. Highly recommend the Tuna Poke and the Brussels Sprouts.

    My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!

Discover Dorchester

With Dorchester's close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its views of Boston Harbor, it comes as no surprise that Dorchester is home to a number of restaurants offering classic New England fare, including clam chowder and lobster rolls. But Dorchester's dining scene goes far beyond traditional dishes. You can find a number of gastropubs that use a variety of ingredients, like fresh sea scallops and clams, in unique and creative ways. You can enjoy a vermicelli bowl at a Vietnamese spot or pair jerk chicken with a tropical drink at a Jamaican restaurant. With Boston being a home to many Cape Verdean immigrants, Dorchester also hosts restaurants offering authentic Cape Verdean dishes, such as fried yucca.
