Most Helpful Review

A very bustling scene in a large comfortable space had me anxious to try a steak. Unfortunately, the special of the night, a bone-in filet, was a disappointment. The "medium" was over-cooked, devoid of juice, and the flavor was modest. Other aspects of the meal , sides and dessert, were good. The service was wonderful, not pushy, but efficient. I would not need to visit this establishment again.

  • A busy restarant, staying full until late at night, Grill 23 combines excellent food, specifically their superb aged cuts, a friendly and highly knowledgable wait staff, as well as a pleasant and sophisticated atmosphere to create one of Boston's premiere dining experiences. Even if Grill 23's food were its only redeeming quality, I would still recommend it to anyone in Boston seeking an outstanding dining experience.

  • Good but not worth the money. I would go to a place like Ruth's Chris before here.

  • I keep going back here as I have clients that like the place. I just don't get it! Steaks are dry, sides are nothing to right home about, place is loud and service is aweful on a good night.

    Does have a good and impressive wine list, but for steak and seafood in Boston, too many better options!

  • Simple the best steaks in Boston and the Service was excellent. Would recommend it for a nice dinner for two, but more for speciall occasions as it is really on the upper scale of the costs.
