Been going to Abe and Louies for years but last night was a huge disappointment. Five people in our party. Three ordered steak two ordered Lobster Casserole. Two steaks okay one steak dry and lots of grizzle. Both lobster casseroles had literally no lobster in them. All breadcrumbs. On the menu it was listed as two whole lobsters in one serving. If there was one claw in a serving I would be surprised because they had it so cut up into fine little pieces. Promised us to replace both lobster dinners but only brought out one. Promised us dessert for all only brought out one and the birthday boys dessert which was already free

We were a party of 7 and sat outside on the patio. I love that Abe and Louie’s could guarantee us outdoor seating when I made the reservation. Our waiter Chris was outstanding. Oysters, tuna tartare and cocktails were fantastic. We all enjoyed our entrees: lobster salads, lobster club sandwiches, burger and boca salad. Key lime pie and creme brûlée for dessert. A perfect lunch!!! Can not wait to come back.

Had a fabulous dinner last night! French onion soup was amazing! My filet was perfectly cooked and blue cheese whipped potatoes was an excellent accompaniment! My friend had the pork chop with the portobello Demi glacé which was also delish! Service was also great! Definitely recommend for a special dinner.

Solid 3-star dining experience for both food and service. Our original server was extremely rude so we requested to be move to a different section - manager was compliant but not apologetic for the poor service nor enthused about our move. The second server - Kevin - was very hospitable and saved the night considering the food was very average. We ordered Caesar salads, boiled lobster which came out charred (possibly broiled??), med-rare + dry aged steak that was served med-well, and sautéed broccoli that was above average. Our bill was $214 for an Outback Steakhouse grade meal. If you consider yourself a foodie, Abe & Louie’s will disappoint.

Since the renovation I have not been back too many times. They have removed the tuna burger from the menu and the overall quality seems to have slipped. Even the French Fries were not tasty. Overall disappointing.

My family loves dining here each time we visit Boston, 1st choice always. We had brunch this past weekend and our sever was not up to the typical great service we've grown accustomed to. There were 5 or 6 other tables sat in the entire restaurant, we had the first seating time, and he one other table in our section, looked like he did not want to be there. Didn't greet us other than Hey, didn't offer any specials, we had a much more pleasant chat with the food runner. We'll be back because the food is always fantastic, but hopefully this sever has a better day for other's experience.

For entree, we ordered 2 lbs lobster and filet minon. Both were outstanding. Slightly more expensive than other high-end restaurants, but very worth to give it a try. Steamed lobster was the best part (only because I personally like lobster more than beef) although filet minon was also perfect. The server was also very nice although it was especially busy time of the day. Lobster- $30/lbs Filet minon-$63/10oz Mashed pota- $16 Cocktails- $18/glass Considering the price, recommendable for special occation but a little too much for casual dine-out day. Overall, great experience.
