Nestled on Boylston Street, Abe & Louie’s is a high-end steakhouse that impresses with classic steaks and a stylish ambiance, ideal for brunch or a power lunch—all paired with an extensive wine list.
"The first Abe & Louie’s opened on Boylston Street in Boston more than two decades ago, and it has become a stalwart of the power-lunch scene. (A second spot has since sprouted in Boca Raton, Florida.) Go for classic chops and the likes of crabmeat cocktails, a half-dozen oysters, and lobster dumplings from the appetizer and raw-bar menus." - Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle
"The Back Bay steakhouse will be open and serving a special menu on Christmas Day, including indulgent brie en croûte, roast oysters, prime rib with twice-baked potato, pan-roasted branzino, and for the finale, a chocolate Yule log with chantilly whipped cream. Dinner will be served from 4 through 9 p.m. and you can make a reservation here." - Tanya Edwards
"“When I feel like a classic steakhouse experience, I choose Abe & Louie’s. From perfectly grilled steaks to great service, it’s the go-to spot for enjoying the finest cuts of meat.” — Roshawn Drane" - Erika Adams
"When the night calls for a warm, gooey skillet cookie, Abe & Louie’s has the answer. Developed by pastry chef Stuart Whitfield, the cookie is cooked to achieve that perfect balance of crispy on the edges and molten in the middle. Then, it is doused with chocolate sauce, a sprinkle of candied pecans, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream — plus, there’s tableside whipped cream service." - Erika Adams
"Mainstay Back Bay steakhouse Abe & Louie’s (which has one sibling location down in Florida) keeps the dessert menu pretty simple and classic, with options like key lime pie, creme brulee, and a seven-layer chocolate cake. There’s also the skillet cookie: a warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and candied pecans." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
