Best bruch and service, hands down – Frankly, this is the best brunch in Boston. The meals are tasty, large, and of good value. The service is exceptional - never is a glass of water left empty, never are you rushed into eating faster. I love Abe & Louie's - the location and gorgeous look & feel of the restaurant help as well.

Pricey, but good – I went to Abe & Louie's with a small group of friends. We were sat outside, overlooking Boylston. They have nice outdoor seating where you can enjoy the outdoors but still feel like you're not in the middle of the busy foot traffic. Our server was very friendly and the wait-staff in general was on top of everything (cleaning off the table, refilling drinks, etc.). We ordered oysters to start which were good. I ordered the ribeye steak which was big and fatty. I ordered it medium-rare - it came out medium -... read more

Regularly Great Food and Service – I love that this place is open on days like Thanksgiving for those who want to avoid family or need some quiet time. The place is usually packed and the prices are often ridiculous however our service has been wonderfully warm and fantastic. The bread basket may be my favorite in town. Their food is always good as it better be for that price. They set themselves up so that if it is not perfect, you will most likely be disappointed because of the price. Thank god I never have been. It is rel... read more

Terrible Experience – My parents were in town visitng, and I decided toward the end of their stay to take them to Abe and Louies. BIG MISTAKE. The waiter was an overly rude snob. When we arrived, there were about 15 minutes left where they were still serving the brunch menu. We wanted lunch, and mentioned this to Daniel (I think that was his name) our waiter. He refused to let us have a lunch menu and then refused to let us order cocktails and appetizers until the 15 minutes had passed and the lunch menu would be available. ... read more

You can do better – My first impression of Abe & Louie's was poor, as the host couldn't seem to find the reservation I had called in two days earlier, and curtly told me to stand in the lobby and wait until the rest of my party arrived. Dinner ran us about $92 each, including one drink, one steak, one side dish, and one dessert with coffee each, including tax and tip. There has got to be better food in Boston for this price. My Caesar salad was dry and bland. The bread assortment was rather dry also, and included only dark b... read more

Delish! – I frequented Abe & Louie's on my last visit to Boston. The experience was fantastic! Great food, service and location -- and, most important, great times were had by all. Would definitely recco to anyone looking for a steakhouse dinner in Back Bay.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES....or if you like filet...........or customer service – My last visit here was terrible. My wife and I were craving steak so we headed to A&L. My wife has a food allergy (gluten) that we immediately brought to the attention of the hostess and our waiter. They assured us that they handle this kind of allergy all the time and that there would be nothing to worry about. Sure enough, my wife's salad came out full of croutons. The waiter apologized and sent it back. He then brought out "a... read more

Always a great experiance – No matter what they always strive to a grand high level of customer service and I never hesitate to go or suggest to others that they eat here. A fine example of great service, food and ambiance.

Great Filet! – This is a great place to go if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or any special event. The atmosphere is like a study from an old movie with rich woods, high back chairs and white linens. The service was good but a little slow...but the food makes up for it! Their house salad is great and my filet was cooked perfectly! We had a great bottle of wine and shared a dessert recommended by our waiter which was also fabulous!
