"A second edition of the popular South End steakhouse, Boston Chops is one of the finer dining options in Downtown Crossing. The restaurant offers classic steakhouse fare, plus seafood towers, multiple preparations of potatoes, cocktails, and more, all in a leather-and-marble-filled space. The versatile menu can provide pre-show cocktails and bites to the theater district crowd or an indulgent special occasion meal." - Tanya Edwards
"Sometimes you want a night at a fancy, dark steakhouse where you can pretend you’re very important. Boston Chops at Downtown Crossing provides exactly that, along with a lot of mirrors and other reflective surfaces for you to look upon all the plebeians who don’t have a birthday to celebrate. Obviously you need to eat steak here (the 14-ounce prime ribeye would be a good choice), but the fish and pasta dishes are well-executed too." - joel ang, dan secatore, tanya edwards
"Either location — the South End or the Downtown Crossing outpost — of Boston Chops will do. Get the crab cakes and the Thai chili and sweet soy calamari, and share the chateaubriand among friends. If steak isn’t your thing, Boston Chops has an extensive menu featuring pork, fish, and chicken. Also: a giant tower of onion rings." - Erika Adams
"Steak houses are pretty much the platonic ideal of a power lunch setting. Something about the leather booths, globe lighting, and giant hunks of red meat inspires people to act like the monopoly man. Boston Chops in Downtown Crossing nails the look and does it with a menu that goes beyond meat to include a lot of seafood and some pasta. When you’re trying to strike a deal with someone who looks like they’ve worn a cowboy hat at some point in their life, head here." - dan secatore
"Boston Chops Downtown launched a new bar-only “Chopping Block” menu for Friday post-work hangouts and beyond, featuring $2 oysters before 6 p.m., small bites like tuna tartare and calamari tossed in Thai chili and sweet soy, loaded poutine, and heartier bar sandwiches such as a filet mignon sandwich with mustard sauce and crispy shallots on a potato roll and a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich; the menu is available all week starting at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. on Sundays when the restaurant opens earlier)." - Nathan Tavares
