    Grill 23 never fails to deliver an outstanding experience. It's the perfect place for a celebration, no matter the size of the party, and deserves its place as a Boston institution.

    My boyfriend and I went on Saturday for a late valentines dinner. I added into my notes that it was a date and they were very accommodating. The food was good. What stood out from our order was the beef carpaccio and the tomahawk steak. Very delicious alongside my dirty martini. They also make a mean old fashion (ask for eagle rare). All in all I would come back again and highly recommend for anyone looking to impress on a date or loves a good cut of meat.
