    Phenomenal meal at Abe & Louie’s on a trip to Boston. Place was hopping on a Friday night but service was still next level. Nice pace for appetizer, dinner and dessert. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Pricey but worth it for the experience and food.

    After Covid all high end restaurants have cut back on quality and raised prices which I get. Abe and Louis was a fav but disappointed me. Bread served was not fresh, au gratin potatoes not fresh and hardly any cheese probably made off site and steak was too rare had to send back. This is what they do and didn't get it right. Manager however was very kind.

    I think it was a bit overpriced. We ordered french soup, goat cheese salad, ny steak and three sides. All of them was pretty average for what we paid. Service was really great, but tables for 2 are too close to each other.

    The food is very good, they know how to cook a steak. The service is absolutely excellent. The prices are reasonable for soups, sides and desserts. Steaks, which is why you're there, are priced too high.

    After thirty some odd years of visiting I’ll always rate Abe’s as excellent, outstanding. But their new shortened menus and high prices are killing me. First time in my life I went to a better known Boston steak house and ordered seafood! Very good oysters Rockefeller, then the lunch’s crab cakes which were very good but definitely had too much slaw piled on them. Did get a great bottle of white wine, skipped dessert, too full. Good crowd for a Sept Thursday, as always. It’s a great restaurant, just getting too too.

    We had a terrific meal for three. Each of us had a different steak, filet, sirloin and ribeye all tasted great. The service was impeccable from the time we entered the restaurant until the time we walked out. One of my favorite steak houses to go to, definitely will be back.

    We enjoyed our meal at Abe and Louie’s. The food, wine and service were excellent. It was very busy and the noise level was high. Other than that it was a very enjoyable evening out in Boston and a short walk from the Fairmont Copley Square.

    Abe & Louie's is #1 for our restaurants when we travel to Boston from Virginia once or twice a year to visit family. We are never disappointed. The atmosphere, staff, food and beverage choices all account for the reason we return year after year. Victoria has been our server for dinner the last two times we were in town. She is the epitome of a professional server with the personal touch that adds to the atmosphere. Her recommendations for cocktails, wine and food have never suited our tastes to a T.

    this is my first time at Abe & Louie. I enjoyed the food but found the service incredibly lacking. to be fair, Georgi, the second waiter was great. that was not the case with the first waiter - I didn't get this name. my client and I had to wait for 20 minutes before I had to go find that waiter, and the restaurant was practically empty. when we ordered, he made an inappropriate and rude comment about the temperature of the bone in ribeye I ordered. I spoke with the manager about this and she didn't do anything about this other than to thank me. not that I expect anything, but I dine out at least twice a week across cities in the US, and restaurants of this caliber would offer to do something. the food was great but the overall experience was poor and service is such an important part of it.

    This was possibly the worst dining experience I’ve had in 20 years. I was with a business guest. My appetizer never came (lobster dumplings). Once the entree food came out, we never saw the server again until after someone cleared the plates when he only walked by without saying a word and dropped dessert menus on the table. Never got a refill of water, never asked if we wanted more wine. I might as well have ordered from a counter. It’s too bad because I was looking forward to the experience and I was embarrassed I brought my customer to this restaurant.
