The Best Steak Restaurants in Boston
Located in one of the oldest cities in the
United States,
Boston's culinary scene has had time to evolve and perfect itself. The city is now home to some of the East Coast's finest restaurants, including steakhouses. Employing some of the city's most-experienced chefs and using the finest cuts of meat with creative twists on traditional sauces and preparation styles, these three restaurants are famous for providing diners with savory experiences that make most other steaks seem utterly bourgeoisie and common.
Abe & Louie's
Ilker
This upscale restaurant has won numerous awards, including being called the best steakhouse in the city by Boston Magazine. Dine on filet au poivre with portobello demi-glace or a pound of aged prime-sliced sirloin, all while relaxing in over-sized leather chairs under a mahogany ceiling. Pair your steak with one of the delicate house wines.

Oak Room Boston

An exclusive restaurant in the Fairmont Copley Plaza, this business-casual restaurant has one of the biggest steak menus in the city. Choose various types and cuts of meat, including the renowned Japanese Wagyu Kobe Beef, and pair it with one of the restaurant's delicious sauces, such as au poivre or merlot demi glace. Those who enjoy a surf-and-turf meal can add shrimp or lobster to any dish, or go all-surf with the Oak Room's famous seafood platter that features clams, oysters, fresh sashimi, salmon, crab and lobster.

Charles Thompson
Many newcomers to Boston find the name of this steakhouse amusing but end up "mooo-ing" in favor of this classy establishment. Open daily, the restaurant boasts that it has the city's most exclusive private dining venue. This makes it a popular destination for parties and functions, as well as romantic dinners with a loved one. Start with an appetizer like Kobe beef dumplings or Israeli Osetra caviar. Select one of its a la carte steaks, such as pepper-crusted prime sirloin or the ever-popular filet mignon. All steaks are served with bone marrow butter and lightly-roasted garlic. Don't forget to sample its renowned wine list, selecting a bottle from a floor-to-ceiling collection.
