The Best Boston Steakhouses

"Boston Magazine" argues that this restaurant has the best prime, dry-aged rib-eye in the city. Decide for yourself as you dine in this swanky establishment surrounded by dark mahogany panels that lend an air of prestige to the restaurant. Grill 23 is not best for those on a budget. However, you get what you pay for. The restaurant's steak au poivre, made with wild mushroom pate and a Dijon-cognac cream, is a hit among customers. If you're not craving beef, try its famous fresh seafood menu featuring salmon and swordfish sourced from sustainable fisheries. Wash it down with one of the restaurant's 900 regional wines.

Located smack-dab in the middle of Boston's vibrant Theatre District, this steakhouse allows you to dine with other theatre-goers on delicious dry-aged beef that's a cinematic show unto itself. Get a simple filet mignon, grilled without overbearing spices or herbs, so you can enjoy the rich, natural taste of the beef. Or go the opposite way and get the marinated Cajun ribeye that is so juicy it seems to melt in your mouth. Whatever you get, pair it with one of the restaurant's soups or french fries, which are house-made.

Just blocks from Northeastern University, this steakhouse welcomes customers into a classy yet relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere to enjoy an exhaustive menu of steak and seafood. It's recommended that newcomers to the restaurant try one of the chef's menu suggestions, which highlight the most popular items on the menu. Examples include sliced filet mignon served with cippolini onions and sauteed mushrooms. Wine lovers are blown away by the grill's wine list, featuring over 5,000 bottles of exotic varietals.
