- DDarleneNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had dinner last night at Ocean Prime. There was a little mixup with my request to be in one of the smaller rooms as they are much quieter. The staff was very understanding about the situation. We were a party of three and as this was Valentine’s Weekend they did not have a table for three. They made every effort to accommodate us and they made a table for three in one of the smaller rooms. Our server was excellent and the food was also excellent. This is a wonder restaurant for the atmosphere, service and food!More infoOcean Prime - Boston SeaportPrice: Expensive• Steak• Seaport•4.7
- NNeilGreater Boston •49 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!More infoAbe & Louie’s - BostonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Back Bay•4.7

- RRLondon •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGrill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.More infoGrill 23 & BarPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Back Bay•4.8
- BBriannaGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. I forget our server's name (possibly George or something that starts with a J?) but he truly loved what he did and it showed. We split the Vlach Giorti and enjoyed every option on the platter. Definitely make a reservation and expect a possible delay just incaseMore infoBar VlahaPrice: Moderate• Greek• Brookline•4.8
