Abe & Louis

$$$-$$$$, Steak, Back Bay

User Rating: **** 3.7

Fodor's Review:

Go ahead: live the fantasy of the robber baron feasting among cavernous fireplaces and deep-textured, plush mahogany booths. Abe & Louis may be a tad Disney-esque in its decor, but its menu lives up to the promise with gorgeous, two-tiered raw platters and juicy rib-eye steaks under velvety hollandaise. Even the linen napkins have little buttonholes for the perfect collar hold.

Abe and Louis served great food with attentive service in a fun, low key but upscale atmosphere.

Expect mix-ups and not just in your drinks!

I spent $500.00 for 4 people and they brought us mushroom gravy instead of Bernaise. When we asked the waiter for Bernaise again, he brought us Hollandaise and said there was no Bernaise left. I don't put lemon (Hollandaise) on steak. We had to get the waiters attention many times for our drinks and water. My steak came out moooing and I ordered it medium. So now I had to wait while the other ate so their food would get cold. We order 2 Tomato salads and ate only one so we told the waiter to wrap it, $16. When I got home I had another customers hald eaten Fish. Grossed me out! The waiter also said when he was taking our order that he had 5 tables so expect " mix-ups". For $500. I don't expect mix-ups! He had to ask us over and over again what we were saying because HE said it was too noisy. We won't be back there. If you want excellent service and food -- go to the "Palm" restaurant -- Excellent place.
