- JJohnGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoIt was our first time dining at Earl's. We are from Boston but our niece is from Dallas. For a Wednesday night at 7:30 pm, the restaurant was hopping - completely booked. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, dessert and especially our waitress, Amani! She was fantastic helping us with menu recommendations and selections. She did not steer us wrong. She was so fun and attentive. Thanks for making it such a memorable night for us. We would come back in a heartbeat.More infoEarls Kitchen + Bar - Boston - Prudential CenterPrice: Expensive• American• Back Bay•4.5
- SStuartGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWonderful experience at Krasi. Only wish we could have tried everything on the menu as we sat at the bar and watched all being made. The Charoupi bread, Marouli grilled lettuce, Xtapodi octopus souvlaki, and Souvla chicken rotisserie special were outstanding. The staff was very attentive. We will be back.More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8
- GGregSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoVisiting from South Carolina, we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and were very impressed with the high quality of everything at Abe & Louie’s Boston. The atmosphere, the service, the food, all amazing! I had the ribeye steak and roasted mushrooms, my wife had the lobster roll sandwich. It was a very special occasion and we were treated as such. Patrick was our server and he was really great.More infoAbe & Louie’s - BostonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Back Bay•4.7
- SSoniaGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoMy first time ever to Ramseys Kitchen. I have to say it was well worth it. Love everything about it. We had the Beef Wellington with broccolini and mashed potatoes. The carb cake for appetizer superb sauce with that. And of course the Sticky Toffee pudding. It was all delicious. The service by Tyler was excellent as well, he was very personable and we enjoyed getting to know him. I will definitely return.More infoRamsays Kitchen - BostonPrice: Moderate• undefined• Back Bay•4.5
- BBrittneyvipGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe absolutely love terra eataly. Tonight's dinner for the value was spot on. I loved how we were able to try a variety of meat. The only reason I gave a 4/5 for service was because it took probably 10-15 minutes for our server to first approach us, but otherwise the food was phenomenal. We order the shared experience for two.More infoTerra at Eataly BostonPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Back Bay•4.3
