Consistently outstanding in every way from the initial greeting by the restaurant manager, the coat-check person, escort to our table not to mention the impeccable service from our server. Even the valet service was top notch! Every interaction A+. Particularly impressive was that they recognized our repeat patronage over the years. Lobster bisque was phenomenal, Filet and Ribeye fabulous and perfectly prepared, Brussel Sprouts the best we've ever had and the loaded baked potato was a meal in itself. Wine list spectacular. By far our favorite place and as far as we are concerned, the “Gold Standard”. Keep up the great work.

We made this reservation over a month in advance to celebrate my husband's birthday and specifically requested a nice table for the occasion. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. After waiting 20 minutes past our reservation time, we were seated at a table directly attached to another couple, leaving virtually no personal space. When I asked if we could move, we were relocated to a tiny table next to a large pole — hardly an improvement, especially for a special celebration. To make matters worse, the water served to us had a noticeable bleach smell. Behind us was a large, very loud party, making it impossible to have a conversation or enjoy the evening. For a high-end steakhouse, this felt incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. We ultimately decided to leave after receiving our water, as it was clear the evening was not going to be the special experience we had planned.

Paul was our server. Very knowledgeable about the menu, attentive but respectful of us wanting to take our time. Price is worth what you get.

Our server, Henrique, was fantastic! Food was great! Steak was prepared perfectly and the truffle tater tots were outstanding. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent service!!! My friend and I split a steak and the restaurant divided it on 2 plates - for no charge!! Old school wait service where they make the dining experience about you.

Our steaks we perfectly cooked and delicious!! We had sides of mushrooms and brussel sprouts which were enough for 3-4 people. Our waiter was terrific--truly kind and seemed to show up exactly when we needed him.

Great service, delicious food, and genuinely a beautiful restaurant inside. Always a treat coming here. In my opinion, the best steak in Boston with Mooo.... being the only close competitor.

Been here for my second time! I hope there will be a third one, cause it's amazing! The cookies are a must at the end!

We were able to squeeze in a reservation during the Thanksgiving week! As usual, Grill 23 did not disappoint! From the greeting from the host, our server Brian who is witty and attentive, chatted with Tori , one of the mgr and let her know the food and the service was perfect. We had a fabulous evening! Thanks 23 Grill! Always a great place to eat while in Boston.

What up though? Grill 23 is a restaurant where you simply can't miss. Upon entrance the place is not only gorgeous but you are met with so much attentive and professional staff you would think you were part of the team even on your first visit. This was my like 9th visit however and yet again it was impeccable. Kobe beef cap, foie from Hudson, baked potato and two ridiculously chilled martinis and some killer Cote de Rhône were ordered. Joel is the basically the man and we came in at 5pm sharp and were lucky to have a little of his time before the patrons started pouring in. Getting to watch upstairs floor go from few people sitting at the bar into a fully packed and bustling dining room is highly recommended. Joel is also highly recommended if you want amazing attentiveness, menu knowledge and 5 star front of the house service. Basically, make your reservation now and don't eat after 2pm and you are in for a very special evening. They even have cost check for you if you happened to be layered up. That's my review.

Excellent steak and service! We came here to celebrate my fiance landing a new job, and it was the perfect spot for a special date night. Highly recommend the mashed potatoes.
