Grill 23 & Bar Boston Reviews from The Last Year
I've been here a few times and each time has been amazing.
The food is always great and the servers know what I need before I ask. I always get the dry aged ribeye and coconut cashew and they never disappoint.
The food and cocktails here were decent but I wouldn't
The food and cocktails here were decent but I wouldn't recommend it for service and management reasons. Grill 23 is ultimately generic, which is fine as it means it is acceptable to a lot of diners, but it doesn't have the high touch service you'd expect at this price point. From.the LAZ parking attendants at the start to the end, it feels high end cookie cutter.
I haven't been to Grill 23 in several years.
I have to say it was a significantly disappointing event for spending $200 per person. I'm certainly crossing them off my list of great steak places in Boston. Don't know what happened to these guys but certainly, not what I expected. It's not the same experience. I had the last time I attended. It's going to be Capital Grille from here on out.
Food: Great portion with fresh/savory dishes.
Calamari was crispy with fried jalapeno that was unstoppable. Salad was fresh but nothing special Steak: Had dry aged steak and if was very tender and juicy. Not too salty at all and I'd say one of the best steak menu in Boston Staffs were friendly, and the place was bit crowded on first floor but second floor was relatively quiet. Great place for a date spot
Beautiful interior, tall ceilings with a pretty stair case
Beautiful interior, tall ceilings with a pretty stair case through the middle. Cocktail list was good, really enjoyed the old fashioned. Started with a lobster bisque, it was good, not great. The steak was flavorful, though it came out more rare than expected. For sides, I recommend the carrots and the mac n cheese. The asparagus and baked potato were both average.
Excellent BUT.
Grill 23 has been around for decades. It is a classic. Food wise it clearly is the best steak house in Boston. I went there for my anniversary. The server Ryan was excellent. I had the dry aged sirloin Pittsburgh and my wife had a baked stuffed lobster. Both were excellent. The appetizers, sides and deserts were also excellent. The dining room had a buzz to it. Where Grill 23 falls short is the dress code. A number of guys had shorts on. I get it - in this day and age many Americans do not know how to dress and standards have been lowered. BUT there must be minimum standards. People wearing shorts in Grill 23 demeans the restaurant. Where is the class??? Enforce a minimum dress code. If it means turning people away turn them away.
Adam never disappoints! Cosmo Dipped in ice.
I don't understand why more places don't use this method. It complements the drinks so well. If you're a fan of an old fashion, the house one is incredible! Enjoy
great atmosphere with amazing food from appetizers to
great atmosphere with amazing food from appetizers to desserts. the service was amazing throughout the entirety of the dining experience!
Fast Food
People had been raving about this place to us for years. We are not strangers to good steak but just hadn’t been able to get there. So finally for my husbands birthday we decided to make it happen. Made reservations on open table with a note of the celebration and a seating preference . Checked in and was happy the host acknowledged they saw the note and seated us promptly (that said it was only 530). However this was followed by a few disappointments. The menu was already very limited. Then there was only one special being offered which was shellfish. We ordered a $150 porterhouse and a $90 ribeye both steaks were cooked appropriately but def no wow factor we also ordered two sides not worth discussing. We also each had 2 drinks old fashions for my husband wine for me. They were sweet to acknowledge the occasion of my husband’s birthday with a scoop of vanilla ice scream and sprinkles ??? Anyway From the minute we sat down to the minute we left we felt rushed PERIOD. We checked in at 530 and called the Uber at 635. And essentially were being asked to leave by 625. Unfortunately Not worth the 400+ bucks!

This place has that classic American steakhouse feel! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the staff was super attentive. The steaks were so flavorful, I didn't even need the steak sauce. This is a great place for a celebration! The chocolate chip cookie dessert with a scoop of ice cream on top is perfect for those who love warm, soft cookies!
French Onion Soup Must Get
Overall great place for a meal. Our server Trae did a great job. My food rating below: French Onion soup- 9.6/10 New york strip-7.2/10 Filet Minon-8.9/10 Wedge salad-7.7/10 Mac and Cheese-7.5/10 Baked Potato-7.6/10 Coconut Cake-9.4/10

This restaurant is massive! It feels like they can accommodate walk ins with the size. The food, service and environment were wonderful! I enjoyed my filet and the sides were great also! I'd recommend if you want to go to a nicer steakhouse in the area!
It is expensive but worth it.
The aged steak doesn't look good but very tender and tasty.
Quintessential old world.
There is something that speaks to you when you enter this place ensconced in wood trim with uniformed waitstaff buzzing around you. It's a travel back in time to a period when wall decorations of choice were portraits with layered gold frames. Someone hands you a brown butter old fashioned and it seems right. Fortunately for me, it's also a world where large cuts of exceptionally prepared meat is still in vogue. The umami coming from my aged New York Strip hit just right. Also enjoyed the interactive experience of pouring a small glass of sherry over my affogato. For me, still the best steakhouse in Boston. Thanks for another great evening.
This place does not miss.
I have been here many times for friends birthdays, anniversaries or family dinners and they are always extraordinary. The wait staff is professional, the drinks taste amazing (but are still strong), and the steak is some of the best I have ever had. The bread is always fresh that they bring to the table and the side are all very tasty. I highly recommend the tomahawk steak and a dirty martini from this place. A match made in heaven.
I want to preface with the waitstaff was wonderful and this
I want to preface with the waitstaff was wonderful and this rating is not a direct reflection of their service. We came for a work outing party of 10 with a reservation. The restaurant was immediately loud and echoey upon entering and throughout the entire place. If you have sensory sensitivities it will be a lot with the open kitchen adding to the noise. We ordered 3 apps, the calamari, the oysters, and the crab cakes. All of the appetizers were wonderful, and for someone that hates crab, those were the best crab cakes I've ever had. The calamari was good but nothing to write home about. I got the chicken and my fiance got the meatloaf. My chicken was seasoned so salty it was difficult to eat. It was also mostly dark meat, which for a $42 chicken dish is kind of disappointing. The stacked potato was overkill, and didn't add much value to the dish. Mashed potatoes would have better countered the saltiness of the chicken. The meatloaf was also unfortunately disappointing for $38. The meatloaf was so incredibly dense it and loaded with rosemary it almost tasted like a chewy pine tree. The chunks of carrots were a bit of an odd addition too. For the price paid for these dishes they need a lot of improvement. The asparagus still seemed to have the tough ends on it and tasted bland. The mashed potatoes were good and the mushrooms were okay. From what we heard from the others the steaks were good. Not much beyond that mentionable.
PRICE GOUGING TO THE MAX!! I can afford to eat out at high
PRICE GOUGING TO THE MAX!! I can afford to eat out at high end restaurants and often do with friends, but give me a break. This place is just crazy expensive and not that good! My wife and I recently had dinner at Grill 23 ... $69 for average 10oz fillet that was boring taste and mushy; $30 for shrimp cocktail that tasted like sawdust; $17 for mashed potatoes with consistency of wall paper paste; $20 for mushrooms; $24 martinis; $14 bowl of ice cream; $14 cake; $7 for steak sauce...and they get you for anything extra you ask for. The check for 2 people was $300+ with no wine!!! Service is good but ambience loud. There are much better steak restaurants in Boston for a lot less money and much better quality. Look elsewhere!
Easter Brunch.
..Eh So had Easter brunch as a party of 6 today. Just too many flaws to over look but I will focus on two things. First, the food just wasn't really hot. My mother's French toast was actually cold, not even warm. Honestly inexcusable. Seccond was my "Steak & Eggs" as described on the menu it is a " 8oz bavette, soft scramble, red flannel hash". No for those not from New England "red flannel hash" is a very specific thing. First a hash is traditionally AND by definition chopped potatoes, corn beef and onions. Now sure there are variations of hash, especially at a high end restaurant, but the tenant of hash should be in this category. Secondly, what makes a hash a "red flannel hash" is the addition of red beets. It colors and dyes the whole dish thus giving it the look of a red flannel shirt or red flannel tablecloth. What Grill 23 served was neither hash nor was it more importantly red flannel. If they hadn't called it red flannel I maybe would have chalked it up to culinary interpretation, but you cannot here. There were no beets. These are simply roasted potatoes with onions, red peppers and chucks of what I am convinced is Black Forest pastrami. To me it would be like telling someone they were getting Chicken Parmigiana and serving them Chicken Milanese. It's adjacent but very different. Additionally, the menu read "Steak & EggS" (I am capitalizing the "S" in eggs to call out that it was plural. While the menu called for "soft scramble" three in my party, including myself asked for "poached" as they had eggs Benedict on the menu so the kitchen was clearly poaching eggs. All three, including myself asked for the "red flannel hash" "on a side plate" because it can be an acquired taste and didn't not want to eat if we didn't like. What arrived was the "hash" (again just roasted potatoes, onion, peppers and pastrami) with a SINGLE poached egg on-top. If you say eggS especially on an egg dish, that means more than one. It should not have been put on the hash which was requested to be on the side AND the poach, while maybe correct or slightly overdone when initially done, clearly sat too long in the kitchen (remember I said the food wasn't hot at beginning of post) and the yoke had solidified not to the point of a hard build egg but closer to like a custard with no ooze. And with the egg being cold and the hash not being what it should have been and also being cold it was just a very unpleasant experience. The steak was hot and delicious, as their steaks always are. Others at the table had issues with their meals. 2 things were forgotten. There was legitimately no broth in the French onion soup as whatever bread they use as the crouton sucked it all up like a sponge basically rendering it a solid dish and not a soup. Of the 6 Mel's the only thing that was hot were the 3 steaks on the Steak and Eggs. Even the roasted chicken was just warm, although it was very tasty. I guess give this is Grill 23 and an epic steakhouse in Boston, if you are going to do a brunch menu for a holiday such as Easter, a holiday where a huge component is sharing a meal with family, your u have to be able to nail not just the experience, but you got to be able to nail the Brunch components and sadly this was more than a miss. I know this is a long post for me to complain about temperature, the definition of hash and what liberty can be taken about it and the plurality of eggs, but for the price one pays an expectation is there and the results fell significantly short.
Best of Boston, but not Boston's Best! We made
Best of Boston, but not Boston's Best! We made reservations for Dine Out Boston and were excited to come here since many people raved about the steaks, ambiance, and overall experience. But to my dismay, we were a bit disappointed. We didn't love the menu for Dine Out Boston so we decided to order off their regular menu. I ordered the Wedge Salad and my husband had their onion soup. They were both good, not great. Then for entrees, we split the Dry Aged Prime Strip with Asparagus and Baked Potato and ordered a bottle of wine from the Sommelier. We also had a few of their sauces (truffle butter and steak sauce). The steak was not warm and did not melt in your mouth like other steaks. Our server was fairly new but I expected much more from him. For instance, our apps did not come to the table together and I had to ask another server for the soup. Our wine did not get to the table until after our food so that was disappointing. We also ordered bread pudding for dessert since it was recommended and a few minutes later a creme brulee came to our table so they sent that back and gave us the right dessert and also took it off our bill, which I was happy about. Sometimes restaurants are so busy during Dine Out Boston that they can't keep up with service or food etc. I would like to give this restaurant another shot for another time and hope for the best!

My wife and I always dine upstairs at the bar where the bartenders and service are top notch, especially Adam. You can't go wrong here!
Save your hard earned money!!
Food was not worth the money the filet was very good however . 19 for a baked potato a little much. We sent back the burnt soggy much rooms as well as one of the 7 sauces ( it was tiny) the place was packed with millennials . Couldn’t hear your self think. 170 for a steak ?? Overall great staff very helpful. Best part of the meal
All great. Except the steak
I know this is a very popular steak spot, and my review is contrarian. I had dinner here with two buddies. I had not been here before, but heard about it often. The wait staff was great, and I liked the atmosphere. A traditional nic3 restaurant. The problem was the food. I had a New York strip and it was frankly awful. Tough from end to end, dennys style but at 100 per plate. I’d like to see the place continue to do well, so I think it’s important for them to hear this.
We’ll be Back!
We celebrated my wife’s birthday in Boston and had a great evening. It’s a wonderful steakhouse - somewhat loud, drinks flowing, comfortable chairs and benches, and the food - incredible. We had a corner table that we shared a comfortable couch and had a view of most of the upstairs. The lower level tables beneath the stairs, looked like nice seating as well but we were happy to be going up. Food was amazing. Steaks cooked to perfection. Dry aged strip was so flavorful and the filet for my wife was actually on the large side. I’d recommend going light on the sides. They are huge! Enough for 3-4 people (maybe)! We went light on dessert and had the ice cream and sherbet which was awesome. As a side bar, the wine list is impressive and one that requires a while to consume. It’s a 1 inch think tomb of amazing wines and their collection is vast. This all comes at a premium cost and be prepared to drop some coin. But so worth it and we’ll be returning!
Wonderful Evening
Celebrated NYE at Grill 23. It was lively and festive. Food and service was great. There was a fun band and plenty of dancing. Recommend any time of year.
Disappointed
Disappointing experience. Seafood sampler was tiny for the price. Waiter said it was enough for 4 then pushed us to order a second. Barely enough for 1 person. Aged ribeye overdone and not very flavorful. Side dishes were ok but small portions. Plenty of better steakhouse options in Boston. Will not be returning
Arguably the best restaurant in Boston, steak is phenomenal
Best steak in boston. Service is top tier, amazing food and sides, great ambiance. Arguably the best restaurant in Boston. It is expensive but worth it.
Elegant and Delicious!
First off, it’s beautiful inside. Very warm and inviting. We headed to the bar and had the most amazing ice-rimmed Manhattan to start. We had a delicious filet and lobster tail with delicious and ample sides. The service impeccable. Just divine. Would highly recommend.
Grand restaurant
Huge & stylish grand restaurant. Looks amazing. Top level service from Brian. Lobsterbisque had lots of delicious lobster in it, but taste was not so rich. Also very little bisque compared to lobster. It was also not warm enough. So room for improvement there. Filet Mignon with lobster tale, bernaise & mashed potatoes was amazing. Huge selection on wines. Prices are sky high
Never again!
Never going back, thank goodness I had a martini (that was very good) because it would have been unbearable. Should’ve gone somewhere else.
The BEST!
We have been coming here for a decade and it continues to be the best. While the food is amazing, it is the beauty and history of the place that set it apart. Located in the old Salada Tea Building, it has a vaulted ceiling with Greco-Roman columns and there are almost 40 years of feasts, celebrations and good times embedded in the walls of this institution, which is a living breathing museum that allows us to dine in the Boston of the 1920s. If you have any appreciation for steak, its trimmings and history, head here immediately upon arrival in the city!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
