Abe & Louie’s is consistently phenomenal—every time I come here, it’s an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion or just an incredible night out. The service is absolutely top-notch, but I have to take a moment to personally thank Raul for delivering what can only be described as the best service a person can give. There truly aren’t enough words to explain how exceptional he is. Attentive, professional, personable, and always going above and beyond—Raul made the experience unparalleled. From the perfectly cooked steaks to the well-curated wine selection, everything at Abe & Louie’s is executed with precision and excellence. The quality of the food is always outstanding, but what keeps us coming back time and time again is the exceptional service and welcoming environment. If you’re looking for the ultimate fine dining experience in Boston, Abe & Louie’s is the place to go. And if you’re lucky enough to have Raul as your server, you’re in for an extraordinary evening. Highly recommend!

Actually, the place is a real treat. Our server is on top of things and awesomely organized. We had mushroom soup and it was salty, crab meat salty as well - we're talking sodium overload. The tips are good and the fish are even better, too. May be next time we can try a different dish. Overall, it was a nice experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Boston Classic – Always Outstanding! Abe & Louie’s is our favorite go-to spot in Back Bay, and it never fails to impress. The ambiance is warm and timeless, the food is exceptional, and the service is second to none. We always request Vladdy—he’s amazing! But truly, every member of the waitstaff provides top-tier service, making every visit special. The steaks are always cooked to perfection, and the seafood is incredibly fresh. While not pictured, some of our all-time favorite dishes include the rich and flavorful French Onion Soup Au Gratin, as well as the indulgent Macaroni & Cheese and velvety whipped potatoes—absolute must-tries! Abe & Louie’s consistently delivers an unforgettable steakhouse experience, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Researching on the best steakhouse in Boston, MA we're thankful we set our minds on Abe & Louie's. We planned this a couple week ahead of time, and everything from start to finish was perfect. Upon entering, I noticed how beautiful the restaurant is. Everyone's attire even struck me as very professional and made the atmosphere even more upscale. Starting with the lobster dumplings, these were great. Succulent lobster wrapped with a thin wrapper and paired perfectly with saffron-fennel sauce. I loved the fact the main taste of this dish is the lobster and nothing overpowered it. Another appetizer that caught our eye was the French onion soup. This soup had depth and complexity. It was rich, not overly oily due to the melted cheese, and the perfect ratio between croutons and soup. For mains, we opted in for the Tomahawk Steak for Two w. a side of lobster tail. The Tomahawk Steak was cooked to the perfect requested medium rare. Seasoned perfectly and is the best steak I've ever eaten. Tender, juicy and bursting with flavour. As for the lobster tail, succulent and a great addition to an already amazing steak. Service was A+ from the gentleman who took care of us. This hospitality and professionalism really shined through. Overall, I'm confident to say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Highly recommend to any traveler or Bostonian. 10/10

What a great old-school classical vibe. I came in with some colleagues and was blown away by the atmosphere. We had a plethora of appetizers, steaks, aides, and desserts. All were amazing. I'll be back every time I'm in Boston.

We flew in early and needed a place for lunch, and this was a perfect choice. The martinis were amazing and generous. Maria the bartender was attentive without being overbearing or intrusive. This was so good, we actually came back for dinner that same day. 18 hours in Boston and we had both our meals here and couldn't have been happier about it.

What an amazing dinner! I had the boneless Ribeye with a side of creamed spinach. My girlfriend had the Abe omelette with filet mignon. The steak was cooked perfectly at a medium rare and the creamed spinach was perfect. The omelette was perfect! The service was impeccable, they paid excellent attention to our needs. For dessert we had the bread pudding which was delightful.

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The steak was cooked perfectly & the sides complemented the mains really well. Everything was seasoned perfectly & we even had enough space to order dessert, which was fantastic as well.
