Grill 23 & Bar Boston Reviews
A great dinner spot, great service and delicious food
We had a lovely dinner during our weekend visit to Boston. The service was wonderful, an extensive wine list available and delicious menu options. We loved the bread basket with several types of bread, the chilled lobster tail for an appetizer and th
Not too impressed.
Extremely priced for what you get and the service is not as good as others. I mostly go to NYC places such as Peter Luger, Gallaghers, Keens.. and it is truly white glove service. While the prices are of course high, the food and service is impeccab
Like the atmosphere and a nice steak dinner.
Went on restaurant week so the menu was fixed. Service was great.
My favorite place to eat in Boston.
Their macaroni and cheese is to die for. Additionally, I love love, love the chicken. The coconut cake is an absolute must. I've been going here for a very long time and I've never had a bad meal.
We had a fantastic experience with Misty as our server!
We had a fantastic experience with Misty as our server! Misty was fantastic! She helped us figure out what we should order and was so attentive to us the entire time. We got 3 sides, 2 entrees, dessert and of course all of the fabulous drinks! We had
Old Money Steakhouse
Iconic steakhouse according to locals. The restaurant has charm and it is expansive. Service was odd with our table being served by 4 different servers throughout the meal which made things confusing and inconsistent. The food was excellent with the

Best filet mignon we've ever had!! Baked potatoes and mashed potato servings were massive! Friendly and fast service. Highly recommend making a reservation
Amazing!! The food and drinks are to die for!! The service
Amazing!! The food and drinks are to die for!! The service was good. We had a great experience. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.
Disappointing sums up our experience.
We are no strangers to fine dining. Bib Gourmand, Michelin 1-3, so we are not spendthrifts. Happy to pay for a wonderful meal that delivers and also happy to manage through a subpar meal because the company is great. It's rare for me to write
No complaints at all tonight.
Did the Dine out Boston menu and it was SO worth it. Full portions and delicious. Recommend the wagyu beef carpaccio and actually the roast chicken surprised me the most. The farro base was so tasty. Steak frites was a bit underdone the first time bu

Boston dinner
Excellent food and great service. This is a pricier restaurant than usual. Location was great for our stay at Stay Pineapple, walking distance from South End as well as Back Bay.
Old school steakhouse with great food
Massive steakhouse with high quality food and service! We went on Valentine’s Day 2025 and it was very packed but they operated very smoothly and food was great!
Delicious and wonderful
There were 4 of us and all very pleased with our selections! 2 had filet and shared a baked potato and asparagus. 2 had a Wagyu and shared Mac and cheese w/ lobster. Dessert was a chocolate cake shared by all and coffee. This restaurant is excellent.
Great Place to Start a Vacation
We ate here for the first night of our New England vacation and it was a perfect way to begin with a great steakhouse. We were staying in the Boston Park Plaza, so it was also an easy walk. When you enter it has a great bar. However, we arrived jus

Visited with business colleague. Busy despite freezing weather. Dishes included potato dauphinoise and burrata salad. I had filet mignon with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. Perfect steak generous sides. Deserts were chocolate layer cake and sor

Amazing meal - filthy bathrooms
Lovely experience and decorated so nicely for Christmas. After spending over $1k on a dinner for 4, I would mention how unclean and dirty the bathrooms were. For how much money this restaurant makes, I would think that there would be a bathroom atten
I've been here a few times and each time has been amazing.
The food is always great and the servers know what I need before I ask. I always get the dry aged ribeye and coconut cashew and they never disappoint.

The food and cocktails here were decent but I wouldn't recommend it for service and management reasons. Grill 23 is ultimately generic, which is fine as it means it is acceptable to a lot of diners, but it doesn't have the high touch service you'd ex
I haven't been to Grill 23 in several years.
I have to say it was a significantly disappointing event for spending $200 per person. I'm certainly crossing them off my list of great steak places in Boston. Don't know what happened to these guys but certainly, not what I expected. It's not the sa
Food: Great portion with fresh/savory dishes.
Calamari was crispy with fried jalapeno that was unstoppable. Salad was fresh but nothing special Steak: Had dry aged steak and if was very tender and juicy. Not too salty at all and I'd say one of the best steak menu in Boston Staffs were friendly

Beautiful interior, tall ceilings with a pretty stair case through the middle. Cocktail list was good, really enjoyed the old fashioned. Started with a lobster bisque, it was good, not great. The steak was flavorful, though it came out more rare than

Grill 23 has been around for decades. It is a classic. Food wise it clearly is the best steak house in Boston. I went there for my anniversary. The server Ryan was excellent. I had the dry aged sirloin Pittsburgh and my wife had a baked stuffed lobst

I don't understand why more places don't use this method. It complements the drinks so well. If you're a fan of an old fashion, the house one is incredible! Enjoy

People had been raving about this place to us for years. We are not strangers to good steak but just hadn’t been able to get there. So finally for my husbands birthday we decided to make it happen. Made reservations on open table with a note of

It is expensive but worth it.
The aged steak doesn't look good but very tender and tasty.
Quintessential old world.
There is something that speaks to you when you enter this place ensconced in wood trim with uniformed waitstaff buzzing around you. It's a travel back in time to a period when wall decorations of choice were portraits with layered gold frames. Some
This place does not miss.
I have been here many times for friends birthdays, anniversaries or family dinners and they are always extraordinary. The wait staff is professional, the drinks taste amazing (but are still strong), and the steak is some of the best I have ever had.

My wife and I always dine upstairs at the bar where the bartenders and service are top notch, especially Adam. You can't go wrong here!
Save your hard earned money!!
Food was not worth the money the filet was very good however . 19 for a baked potato a little much. We sent back the burnt soggy much rooms as well as one of the 7 sauces ( it was tiny) the place was packed with millennials . Couldn’t hear your se
All great. Except the steak
I know this is a very popular steak spot, and my review is contrarian. I had dinner here with two buddies. I had not been here before, but heard about it often. The wait staff was great, and I liked the atmosphere. A traditional nic3 restaurant.
We’ll be Back!
We celebrated my wife’s birthday in Boston and had a great evening. It’s a wonderful steakhouse - somewhat loud, drinks flowing, comfortable chairs and benches, and the food - incredible. We had a corner table that we shared a comfortable couch a
Wonderful Evening
Celebrated NYE at Grill 23. It was lively and festive. Food and service was great. There was a fun band and plenty of dancing. Recommend any time of year.
Disappointed
Disappointing experience. Seafood sampler was tiny for the price. Waiter said it was enough for 4 then pushed us to order a second. Barely enough for 1 person. Aged ribeye overdone and not very flavorful. Side dishes were ok but small portions. Pl

Best steak in boston. Service is top tier, amazing food and sides, great ambiance. Arguably the best restaurant in Boston. It is expensive but worth it.
Elegant and Delicious!
First off, it’s beautiful inside. Very warm and inviting. We headed to the bar and had the most amazing ice-rimmed Manhattan to start. We had a delicious filet and lobster tail with delicious and ample sides. The service impeccable. Just divine. Wo

Never again!
Never going back, thank goodness I had a martini (that was very good) because it would have been unbearable. Should’ve gone somewhere else.
The BEST!
We have been coming here for a decade and it continues to be the best. While the food is amazing, it is the beauty and history of the place that set it apart. Located in the old Salada Tea Building, it has a vaulted ceiling with Greco-Roman columns a

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Grill 23 & Bar Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Grill 23 & Bar Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Grill 23 & Bar Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Grill 23 & Bar Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Grill 23 & Bar Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
