All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish).

While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!”

The food is good, but nothing wowed me. It is very good food, but it didn’t wow me like some other spots in North End have. Instead, come here and enjoy the experience. Sit down at the communal table, and just enjoy a nice 2 hours around new people!”

“It is not my practice to be critical and write a negative review, but I was enjoying my evening until we were asked to vacate our table after being there for only an hour and 40 minutes. My reservation was at 6 PM and at 7:38 we were told that we need to leave the restaurant. This definitely has left me with a very bad experience. I recall a time during Covid when there was a limit on a reservation, and that was quite acceptable but on a Wednesday night in October 2026 I was quite shocked when we were told it was time for us to leave, especially when I noticed some empty tables around us.

It was hard to hear the man over his mask so I couldn't get any names. We had uni, tuna belly, scallops, and more. All the Courses were small but packed with favor.

Grill 23 & Bar 161 Berkeley Street, Boston Steak House • $$$$

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.”

“Very difficult to get a reservation, but overall a good experience. Aside from the appetizers and couple of nigiri options that I thought were amazing (tilefish with crispy skin, soft Hokkaido scallop, and melt in your mouth saltwater eel), most of the other nigiri offerings were just ok (good, but nothing truly mind-blowing). I think the appetizers were intriguing, maybe a little hard handed on the herbage. As for the price, it's $280 plus 7% kitchen fee, plus tip... It's steep and I think there are better value options. That's not to say that this isn't worth going to, it's good and worth a try.”

“Lots of thoughts on this one… and, some mixed feelings too. Classic escargots without the shell? Well, unexpected, to say the least. Certainly felt like we were missing out on the experience here. The blueberry tart was really a pie, in both appearance and design. A slightly confusing identity crisis on the plate, I would say. 😳

On the cocktail front, we liked Golden Hour, the peach cocktail from their new summer cocktail menu. Very peachy, very nice! Clouseau… not so much. Watered-down was the word that came to mind right away.

In all, the food was great, the conversation was even better, and the evening was a success! And yet, my search for a French restaurant in the Boston area that can top this one continues... Do you know one? I’m all ears 😉”

Couple suggestions - please update the list! - 3 bottles we asked for were no longer available - it is impressive list - but I fear more and more of the bottles are not available. Other suggestion - lighting is very dim (? atmosphere) - so reading the list is impossible - would definitely give wait staff pen lights to give to folks on request. All that said - if you like good food, great wine, and very good service - great place to go to.”

The food is good, but nothing wowed me. It is very good food, but it didn’t wow me like some other spots in North End have. Instead, come here and enjoy the experience. Sit down at the communal table, and just enjoy a nice 2 hours around new people!”

If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.”

“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.”

I recall a time during Covid when there was a limit on a reservation, and that was quite acceptable but on a Wednesday night in October 2026 I was quite shocked when we were told it was time for us to leave, especially when I noticed some empty tables around us.

On the cocktail front, we liked Golden Hour, the peach cocktail from their new summer cocktail menu. Very peachy, very nice! Clouseau… not so much. Watered-down was the word that came to mind right away.

In all, the food was great, the conversation was even better, and the evening was a success! And yet, my search for a French restaurant in the Boston area that can top this one continues... Do you know one? I’m all ears 😉”

Sal's Lunch 31 Thacher Street, Boston Family • $

“Popped by yesterday after walking by this place for 40 years. Saw a handmade sign advertising a meatball sub for $10. ok,,ill try it. It was homemade and actually pretty good BUT in my 60 years of eating meatball subs, this is the first one that was just meatball and bread..(with a sprinkle of parm out of a Kraft container)..no sauce or cheese (although i can do without that) some sauce would have made it!”

The dining area is small and cozy. If the service can be improved the restaurant would be around for a long time.”

“Great food. The Pattie’s were made to order and the soup freshly made. Great service and food.. This place is a breath of fresh air in Mattapan. If you haven’t tried it yet hat are you waiting for. Don’t look at the negative reviews as they are just disgruntled competitors looking to create a bad reputation for a hard working business. Give the place a try for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.”

“This was the first time at Mike pastry, and we felt wicked! I had the blueberry scone and my partner had the lobster tail. Both were amazing and taste and not too sweet. At most of the pastry shops have been to people overloaded with sugar, but not Mikes. We absolutely love this place and will definitely visit again whenever we are in Boston.
I had my eye on the lemon turnover and may try that next time.”

Riccardo's Ristorante 175 North Street, Boston Italian • $$

“When we got to the resturant the host was great, food was great and atmosphere was great. However, our server barely spent enough time at our table for us to order and basically never came back, he then took forever to bring us our check and charged us a fee for being at our table over an hour which was entirely on him. My sister was going to say something but getting anyone's attention in the busy resturant would have been difficult. They also had a pair of singers come in which was lovely however it was so loud we couldn't hear each other.”

Abe & Louie's 793 Boylston Street, Boston Steak House • $$$$

“We were celebrating our 16th anniversary and my retirement, and wanted to do it up right! We picked the right place for it. Coming in from Cape Cod, for a concert at Fenway we had reservations for Abe and Louie’s, but there were 2 at the bar so they let us sit there instead of our table. Our bartenders were great. To our surprise, Bree almost immediately said “Happy Anniversary!” And our drink order was taken. Michelle made a spicy margarita with a nice kick and a heavy glass, and a soda. Then we ordered shrimp cocktail which were brought out in mere moments. The shrimp were huge and cold and crunchy- perfect! We took our time and were not rushed to order our meal, but once we did, with Kendal, she asked all the right questions, offered to split our salad in the kitchen, and made some great recommendations. I wanted my Filet with their wedge salad as my entree and was told no problem. Our meal, my huge filet and my man’s ribeye were both cooked as requested and his suggested garlic whipped potatoes were creamy and yummy! The food was all out of this world, but what made the dining a true experience was the tango these three women danced around each other, each knowing what the other was doing and exactly what their patrons wanted. You can get a great filet many places but I pay for the service and we both felt like we were treated like royalty. Thank you Bree, Kendal and Michelle for making our anniversary and my retirement a true celebration!!”

“Overall good with fun cocktails, but the space is kind of tight. While the food is good, the rolls came all at once so felt like we had to scarf down the rolls asap otherwise they would get soggy on the tray. Made it a bit harder to enjoy than like at Matsunori (I believe these are sister restaurants and their food was fresh in our memories) where the rolls are served one at a time. Bed tallow fries are always a hit.”
