Best Steak Restaurants in West End

Almost every restaurant has some level of inconsistency, but this restaurant is pleasingly surprising despite changes or minor adjustments.

Umbria was recommended to us by a work colleague when we were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary this past summer. Since then, (only five months later!) we have been four more times! It's excellent! Food is incredible! Everything we have eaten is delicious! Drinks are fantastic! You CANNOT beat the service! All the waitstaff we have worked with have been top notch! Big shout out to the bartender Rene, who has somehow managed to take GREAT care of us every time we have been, even when she wasn't waiting on us! She knows white gloved, customer service for sure!! Additionally, this is SUCH A HOT SPOT! Such a great vibe and what a fun scene. We highly recommended it!

Went for lunch around 1PM on a Saturday and they gave us (a family with kids!) a nice table by the window. Had meatballs and octopus appetizers and both were good, but octopus was superlative. I had the boar/porcini tagliatelle and wife had gnocchi. Both were excellent. Kids and wife finished with bread pudding and it was delicious as well. I had an espresso martini that was fantastic for my dessert. Not a single complaint with food or atmosphere and service was on point. Only possible issue was it did seem a bit overpriced for some items, but by the time I left full and happy, I didn’t care.

Grill 23 has been here for decades, and they deserve to be. The wait staff is the best, food delicious and it is very comfortable. A neighborhood gem. One can tell that everybody is having a good time.

Boston Chart House is always the top go to restaurant when we stay at the Custom House. The prime rib was perfect, lobster bisque is a treat not to miss. Meagan was the best server. Our family had a great experience. Thank you!
