    Impeccable service! I forget how rare it is and how pampered it makes you feel. Grill 23 offers that. And beautifully prepared food, if a little too salty for my taste. And DineOutBoston makes it a deal.

    This is hands down the best steakhouse and fine dining experience in Boston - we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and he got the Wagyu steak! I tried it and it tasted so tender and buttery and decided that I really love this steak - even as a non-steak eater ! Just remember to be specific with your busser and be clear about what you're still working on finishing - don't say I'm all set, or they will clear your plates - they have a very high standard of service and it shows! Liam brought us a personal birthday card and checked on us, which was so sweet and added that personal touch we've all been craving! GET the chocolate cake if you have room! It was expensive but actually so worth it - with an app, drinks, and 2 premium meals and 2 sides (creamed spinach and mashed potato), plus the tip it was $360 - so be prepared with your credit card to take a hit - but it's actually so worth it for the level of customer service and experience - the bread it also a huge bonus but don't fill up on it too quickly because the main plates are so abundant and heavenly!

    this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.
