- SStuartGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWonderful experience at Krasi. Only wish we could have tried everything on the menu as we sat at the bar and watched all being made. The Charoupi bread, Marouli grilled lettuce, Xtapodi octopus souvlaki, and Souvla chicken rotisserie special were outstanding. The staff was very attentive. We will be back.More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8
- GGregSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoVisiting from South Carolina, we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and were very impressed with the high quality of everything at Abe & Louie’s Boston. The atmosphere, the service, the food, all amazing! I had the ribeye steak and roasted mushrooms, my wife had the lobster roll sandwich. It was a very special occasion and we were treated as such. Patrick was our server and he was really great.More infoAbe & Louie’s - BostonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Back Bay•4.7

- KKellyEdinburgh/Midlothian •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat a fabulous meal; truly the biscuits (which were massive!) might have been the best I have ever had. Absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. Food was served tapas style and came out piping hot. We were on the outdoor patio; really lovely ambiance - but the inside rooms each have such unique personalities! Highly recommend.More infoButtermilk & BourbonPrice: Moderate• Regional American (Southern)• Back Bay•4.5
