    It’s the best Steak House in Boston. There are several other standouts and standards, but the 23 is just a bit better than the rest, and can compete with the finest from Chicago and NYC. The quality of the meal and the service are A++. You will pay, but any top of the heap steak restaurant will dent your wallet. The meals the 4 of had were superbly done to match the quality of the steaks. Desserts (coconut cake, fresh chocolate chip cookies) delicious. Our server Tim, friendly and excellent. Downstairs is a special scene- but be prepared for the high noise level. It’s lively, upstairs is less so.

    Classic steakhouse with great steaks and an elite wine list. Wedge salads and the 100 day dry aged ribeye were amazing. Tots were good and the carrots were just average. Amazing place to celebrate and let it rip.
