Review
Though Boston has no shortage of great steakhouses, Abe & Louie's is a dependable Boylston Street staple. Infused with a classic elegance, the rich mahogany and sumptuous leather décor are the perfect backdrop to the traditional steakhouse experience that Abe & Louie's provides. During the warmer months, the first floor dining room expands out onto the sidewalk, and the large open windows afford a great view of the Prudential Center and surrounding shops. I've never had anything but the most diligent of wait staff, and have visited Abe & Louie's on many occasions, for lunch, dinner, and private parties. The menu offers few surprises; its exactly what you'd expect from a great steakhouse. The beauty of this establishment is that they do what they do very well, and I've always found that they prepare their Filet Mignon to perfection. Portions are ample, and their offering of accompanying sides is sure to please any diner. Their Steak and Tomato Salad lunch-offering is a personal favorite, and if you like your Steak Au Poivre they do it just right (and offer some delectable sauces to compliment). Pricing is moderate given the quality and portions, and in my estimation, all-in-all it's worth every dime. The location is easily accessible to public transportation, but trying to park in Back Bay is a guaranteed hassle. Save room for dessert - their Chocolate Soufflé and Crème Brule are both traditional (and excellent) ways to cap off the classic steakhouse experience. -Kim
