   Our table was at the back of the restaurant despite my father having a cane and not walking well. Our steaks were all either under or over cooked. I wouldn’t go there again for a steak.

   There is a reason Grill 23 & Bar is the best steak house in Boston! They hit a homerun in every aspect of the dining experience. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and told our table would be ready in a few minutes only because they know where we like to sit and made sure we would in that area (who does that?) and lo and behold, we were seated at our favorite table! Our server Chris was professional, friendly, and gave us the time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering. We shared a delicious crisp well dressed Caesar salad and for entrees, Filet Mignon for my wife and the Prime New York for me, both medium rare, and a side of the Taleggio Creamed Spinach. Both steaks were done to perfection and the spinach would make Popeye jealous. We finished with the G23 Chocolate Chip Cookies with vanilla milk and Chris added a dish of their homemade ice cream, coffee and vanilla, all yummy! If you haven't dined at Grill 23 & Bar, try it, you won't be disappointed!

   I recently visited Grill 23 and had high expectations given its reputation and price point. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several key areas. I ordered a medium-rare steak, but it was served very rare, while my wife’s steak was cooked properly but severely underseasoned. The potato pavé was disappointing—each layer of potato had a noticeable bite and chew, suggesting it was undercooked or under-fried. The cream of spinach was underwhelming, resembling sautéed spinach with just a hint of cream, lacking the richness I had hoped for. The cocktails were hit and miss. My Japanese whiskey sour was excellent, but my wife’s gin-based cocktail was forgettable. Dessert was the saving grace—the chocolate cake and coconut cake were excellent. Additionally, the service was exceptional, and the staff’s attentiveness was the highlight of the evening. For a $400 meal, however, I found the food to be a significant miss. It’s hard to justify recommending this restaurant when the overall quality did not match the price.

   Big fan of this place. Most steakhouses are dark and gloomy….this place is vibrant and light. Food and service is phenomenal. Always great!

   The fantastic service and delicious food blew us away. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and the sides were excellent. This is probably the best steakhouse in Boston! We highly recommend it hands down. We're looking forward to returning soon!

   The service was top-notch—professional, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The food was absolutely incredible. The ambiance is lively, and while it can get a bit noisy, the vibrant atmosphere only adds to the experience. All in all, it's definitely a spot worth visiting!

    We are a little biased. We have been going there for ivermectin 35 years. Still the most non pretentious restaurant at their perspective level. Friendly yet service oriented. Love it.
