Great authentic Food
if you do not like anything on the menu, the owner, who is there everynight, just tell him what you are feeling, and he will make something up for you Best Place in the North End: Dolce Vita www.dolcevitaristorante.com hen you can head across the street for Mike's Pastry's unless you get a dessert at Dolce Vita, Hands down better than any of those fancy places, this is biz casual type dress though

Jason Santos' restaurant, Blue Inc. was fabulous. Not a really fancy place...but he is a true artist.

Union Oyster House
We've always liked this old restaurant near Faneuil Hall. Good seafood and great history.

If you like real Italian food then do yourself a favor and go to Rino's Place in East Boston.I saw this place on Diners Drive ins and Dives and had to go.Absolutely the real deal.

Boston
Try 'Top of the Hub' for their luncheon menu.
http://www.topofthehub.net/ Located at the top of the Prudential building, best view in town ! They use to have a $20 lunch, that included:appetizer, entree, and deseert That was a few years ago, but give them a call to ask for specials. Enjoy! BD |

All good places.
Looks like you like steak houses based on your list. Best one in Boston in my opinion is Abe and Louie's on Boylston near the Pru. Web Site: http://www.abeandlouies.com/ Thet have online reservations through Open Table. Bring your wallet if you go. R2B |

I Agree
Abe & Louie's is by far the best steak house in Boston.

If you want to try something that's not as touristy as the places mentioned in this thread, try B&G Oyster Bar on Tremont.

For a unique resturant try Durgin Park . Cafeteria seating with in your face waitresses. Great fun and great food.

Good Eats
I just got back walking up to Faneuil Hall tonight and it was dead (for some reason Boston tourists don't like the cold). The North End is always hopping; two of my favorites are Marco on Hanover St. and Mama Maria on North Square. On the Waterfront, the new Smith and Wollensky (steakhouse) on Atlantic Wharf and Sel de la Terre (French) on Long Wharf are very good. In Back Bay, Grill 23 (steakhouse) on Berkeley St. is also good; I will be going there to celebrate my birthday in a couple weeks. On Charles St. at the bottom of Beacon Hill there is a very nice Italian restaurant Toscano; I was there last week and had sea bass.
Bon Appetit |

Just wanted to chime in on this subject, while Abe & Louis is great, I think the best steaks in Boston are now at Del Friscos in the seaport district. Also might want to try Prezza in the north end it's fabulous.

Restaurant Week Coming Up..
For those looking for some good eats while waiting for the ice to go out, come on down to Boston for Restaurant Week; or, if your like me and live in MA, head on over. Many of the places people have been recommending in this thread are participating. Go to http://www.bostonusa.com/visit/restaurantweek and you can look up participating restaurants and see their special menus during the event.
We may have more noise and smog, but you wont find any mud down here this time of year. |

thank you all for the recommendations. we decided on abe and louis. the place was packed but we were seated after 20 mins. or so .the food was great. i had filet mignon bone in with sweet potato and asparagas with bearnais sauce. i rarely eat red meat anymore but this was worth an arterial widening. wife had scallops and due to the fact she eats like a bird , a surf and turf was well received. it was pricey due to ala carte but what the hey once a year. plus we saved a lot of money by staring at the sleds for 5 mounths

Blue
Funny you should recommend Blue. On our walk tonight my wife and I passed Blue and we were saying we should go there soon. Next week we are heading up to Marco in the North End. It was a toss up between Marco's and Sportello's.

Another steak house is Grille 23 (Stuart St.). Friends and I do x-mas dinners at the Boston steak houses and have been there twice. Flemmings...not so good, probably the worst of them all. Oak Room was a nice steak, but they burnt the garlic on our green beans. Capital Grille was nice (they have moved to the base of the Pru) Durgin Park...you might as well go to McD's. Not nice at all and the food is eh. Abe & Louie's I have yet to try but have heard wonderful things about it, plus most of the north end places that were mentioned, I would recommend as well. I haven't been to all of them, but some, and my very picky friend has been to the ones I haven't that were mentioned and loves them.
Except Mikes Pastry....go to Modern Pasty. Mike's is a tourist trap. Or there is another dessert place I can't think of the name (sorry), but there is a cigar bar underneath. Very good cannolis. Next to MammaMia's. |

Hamersley's Bistro
Last June 26, President Obama was in Boston close to Boston Symphony Hall and his group ate at Hamerley's in the South End. I have never been to Hamersley's but have been told it is very good and just a wee bit on the pricey side.

Marco
Just got back from Marco and had a great 4 course dinner. Good thing the weather was in our favor and we were able to walk it off on our way back home.
