Unfortunately, we had a bit of disappointing experience here. Due to problems with the mbta red line, we were 20 minutes late to our reservation. I called ahead to let them know we were running behind, but no one answered, so I left a voicemail. When we arrived, the maitre de said it was no problem, and said it would be 10 minutes until we could be seated. In the meantime, we sat at the bar. 30 minutes later, the maitre de comes back and says it is going to be a while longer, but confirms we will definitely still get a table. So we hold off on ordering food at the bar, and get more drinks. Then an HOUR later, the maitre de comes back (only after we attempt to flag him down multiple times), and informs us there will be no table opening the rest of the night (even though there are plenty of empty tables near us). Would expect more of a high-end restaurant. Open-table also notified me that Boston Chops marked me as "did not attend" for my reservation. It was all pretty awful considering the maitre de assured us it was fine when we initially checked in.Our bartender was absolutely lovely and saved the night for us. I highly recommend the roasted chicken and mushroom risotto. Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by the seating situation.

I ordered racks and soup, the meat was very tender, cooked medium rare. The sop is spicy for me, but very tasty, covered with melted cheese. I recommend.

What an incredible experience as my wife and celebrated our anniversary. We were made to feel special from the very first moment we arrived through dinner and coffee/dessert. If you have a special occasion coming out, this is the place to come.

One of the family favorites for theater night in town. Tonight's meal was served by host Vinny (a familiar face) and house staff perfectly. Delicious meal, sides and appetizers; cocktails and desserts. We'll know it's gonna be a hefty bill, but overall experience is worth it.

Overall a decent experience. Wait staff were quick and knowledgable. Food was on point. Louder than we would have expected but could still hold a conversation. Only down side was once we got home to see that our A5 leftovers had disappeared.

First time experiencing Boston Chops during restaurant week. The specific venue boasts a sophisticated, dimly lit ambiance upon entry. However, I did find myself wishing for some windows to invite in natural light. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remained enjoyable. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive, even offering complimentary prosecco due to a slight table adjustment. The bread provided was delightfully airy and reminiscent of a croissant, served warm with butter in individual holders—a charming touch. Overall, the cuisine impressed with its delicious flavors, accompanied by the added treat of unlimited fries. The presence of servers circulating with generous bowls of fries for replenishment added to the dining experience. Opting for the New York Strip, we found it to be satisfactory, with commendable flavor, though we both acknowledged having sampled better steaks elsewhere.

The staff at this restaurant is excellent.  All were very accommodating and very knowledgeable of the wine list and the menu. Our meals were perfectly prepared and exquisite. Looking forward to returning to this restaurant.

Went during dine out Boston and the food/drinks were good. Got the pan seared steak and my bf got the chicken which was so delicious. The real bonus was the fresh fries. Drinks were good.

Fantastic steak house with great meat, sides and wines. Great, friendly service and nice atmosphere where you can still have a conversation.

Nothing like Texas steakhouses. Boston Chops is a nice, cool place, but the food was a disappointment, expensive, and not super high quality meat (or at least not to TX standards). The calamari was good, although different to what you are used to get. Even though we had a reservation, we needed to wait like 30-40 min, and once seated the service was slow. The wait between the appetizer and entrees was kind of frustrating, probably a good 20-25 min. If you have the time, and the money to spend in just average steak, this is your place.

Atmosphere is great and the servers are all a class act. There isn’t much on the menu besides steak, so bringing someone here who doesn’t eat beef would be a faux pas.

We come every year to Boston Chops during the Seafood Show, it's a tradition... One of my guest had a Waygu Bone in Ribeye A3 that was the special of the night, we had to send it back and when he received the new one it was not good.

We had a great evening and special dinner for my sons birthday. The only thing that wasn't great is the desert. We ordered Baked Alaska, but the top layer of strawberry sorbet/sherbert was frozen so hard we were unable to cut into it at all. It was like a brick. It probably should be thawed a bit before served.

We have a great dinner and Jay our server what great. He was attentive and helped us make it to the ballet on time. We love this restaurant and look forward to our next visit. We do like to go earlier as it gets very loud when it's busy, this is the only negative part of our whole experience.
