    Terrific experience, we will be back for sure! Service with Lucy was just incredible, she was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. We had a reservation that we had to change several times due to the inclement weather and the restaurant was very accommodating. Lucy should be commended for her excellent service.

    My wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!

    Kat was a terrific server. I was meeting an old friend I had’t seen in 30 years. Kat was attentive, gave us time to catch up before we ordered and after we finished, but never stopped checking on us!

    We are frequent diners at the Capitol Grille and are never disappointed in the quality of service and the food. Last night we celebrated my wife’s 81st birthday and we were waited upon by Diego Ojeda who did it absolutely wonderful job of making us feel welcome and attending to our needs. As usual, we have the 10 ounce filet mignon our favorite salads, and matching wines. We appreciated the quiet booth and the special dessert celebrating my wife’s birthday. We look forward to returning soon.
