I run a limousine service, and I used to recommend this place, I drive my VIPs here at least three times a week, but I won’t bring them any business here again.
The valet person who worked there today, Tuesday Oct 22, 2024, at 9pm was the most disrespectful person ever. ,
First he said I’m double parked, which is not true then he accused me of something that I did not do, and when he released it wasn’t me, I asked him to at least apologize, he said he won’t and he doesn’t care, and started to yell, a place like this should teach these people how to be professional!
It’s not ok to accuse people of things that didn’t do, all what I wanted to hear is an apology and everything would have been ok. Instead he kept yelling.
I’ll never bring my VIPs here ever again, and won’t ever recommend this place to anyone, I’ll do the opposite and tell them about my bad experience here with the valet poor and disrespectful behavior.

Excellent service, award winning wine selection showed for sure! From the Mocktails, to wine to steaks and side orders. Everything was spot on.

Friendly service. Beautiful space. Delicious food. Don't stalk up on the bread, you won't be able to finish your tasty meal. Cool experience to have five or six servers give us food at once :)

Being a New Yorker we have countless steakhouses to choose from…..Grill 23 , located in the heart of the Back Bay neighborhood was an excellent experience. I recommended it highly. My girl and I were satisfied above and beyond . Our server, Ryan was great. Grill 23 is a” class act”

The BEST dining experience i’ve ever had. I originally ordered the Heritage Chicken which I personally was not a fan of, I was immediately taken care of and made sure I still ate. I ordered the Fillet and Mashed Potatoes and it was HEAVENLY. Hands down the best steak I had ever eaten. Conor was our waiter and his knowledge of the menu and gratitude was out of this world. 10/10 recommend to anyone ever coming to the Boston area!

Loved the old school elegant ambiance here and the staff were wonderful but the food was very underwhelming and i left wondering if management may be cutting corners.
Few Items Ordered:
100 day dry aged ribeye ($90) - the steak was surprisingly much chewier than expected. never would've known that it had been dry aged for 100 days given the flavor intensity and tenderness. this was odd.
Japanese A5 Striploin Wagyu ($170) - this also felt off. the steak was not as beefy and tender as expected and made me wonder if we got jipped and got served American Wagyu instead lol
"Famous" Coconut Cake ($17) - not sure why this is famous. cake was on the dry side which was a bummer, but i did enjoy the different coconut elements (mainly the coconut custard cream, coconut caramel, and the toasted coconut bits)
I am very tempted to make a trip to Outback Steakhouse so that i can compare a rib-eye at Outback to Grill 23. Will write a review on yelp when i do!

The service was very attentive, the food and drinks were delicious.
We were served by a man with a refined mustache. Aside from that, the place is very nice and comfortable, the service excellent and the food delicious.

Can't speak about much of the menu since they only have 1 off menu vegetarian dish. I must emphasize it is not vegan, there is some dairy in the dish. Atmosphere was great and service was very good. The Mac and cheese was good but was stuffed so I ate it as leftovers. The cobbler for dessert is very underrated but very good. A bit on the sweeter end but still very good when you mix it with the ice cream. Not a fan of coconut so I can't speak on it personally but others enjoyed it. A great splurge experience for sure.
Vegetarian options: 1 off menu corn and mushroom risotto

My wife and I had a splendid meal to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. I had been to Grill 23 once over fifteen years ago and remembered their dry aged New York strip to be the best steak I'd ever had, and it still has not been topped for me. Portions were much larger than other fine dining establishments and we left feeling like we'd just had a Thanksgiving meal! The creme brulee topped off a magical dining experience, with a thin dish to maximize the caramelized topping and a lovely addition of fresh fruits and a wafer cookie. Not the kind of place we could afford on the regular, but for times when you've got to pull out all the stops it's the best in the city.

Have tried all steakhouses and Boston. Grill 23 is by far the most beautiful restaurant and bar to enjoy a classic steak. Overall a beautiful experience. 8.7.
