- BBillVIPGreater Boston •89 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt’s a new year and A&L’s is holding to the high standards they established. Often Julie and I order different meals so we can enjoy more of a restaurant’s offerings; last night we both immediately ordered the same. Last year A&L’s made a few updates to their menu. One addition was the ribeye cap steak. I acknowledge everyone has their favorite steak; for us it’s always been the ribeye, it’s flavor with the marbling, moisture and texture of ‘the cap’ we find make it ‘the best’. Now A&L’s has the cap as a full steak; we both had it and it is the best steak we have had. For the evenings dining we were very pleased to be able to have Victor’s service. It’s amazing someone so young, energetic and just plain fun brings such exceptional service. In the new year, trying to be good (better…) we focused on one bottle of wine to compliment the meal. Matt brought an outstanding wine (so good we will see if we can find it for home). It was in an excellent price point (this is another area A&L’s excels, a large and varied wine selection from California cab’s everyone knows, to some top French and Italian wines fit for the most important days). Last I’ll say that though we appreciate Victor’s service and Matt’s knowledge and assistance with wine, the management of A&L’s ensures everyone dining can have the same bespoke service. An example is last night as we were enjoying our wine ‘relaxing’ a bit, Chris, a server who’s service we’ve enjoyed in the past, stopped by to just wish us a happy new year. This type of special service throughout are what put A&L’s at the top of Boston’s restaurant’s. Thank you, Bill & JulieMore infoAbe & Louie’s - BostonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Back Bay•4.7
- DDebraVIPGreater Boston •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything was great and we were in a table in the back nook which was great for catching up with friends because it was quieter. Will request that table again. Loved the cod dish and the wonderful service!More infoTerra - Eataly BostonPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Back Bay•4.3
- KKatieGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had a wonderful experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was honest and knowledgeable when we asked for his input while ordering steaks. I ordered the Kobe cap medium rare and it came out rare, but it was still delicious. Everything was amazing. We will Definitely be back.More infoGrill 23 & BarPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Back Bay•4.8
