Abe & Louie's Restaurant & Bar Review

Abe & Louie's

My Opinions:  I had the pleasure of treating my friend to a birthday brunch here, and she loved it! Even though they were out of their breakfast breads, and I was not a fan of the server/service, we had a nice meal with a good Blanc de Noir. I was thankful the kitchen put this surprise birthday "cake" together for her (sooo much better than cake).

I can always expect to have a relaxing brunch here with attentive service and a great ambiance. It was nice to see the restaurant bustling with the ever-fashionable Back Bay crowd; I could come here every weekend. See you soon, Abe & Louie's!

My Opinions: I recently had dinner here, and was not impressed with their raw oysters (they weren't served cold & some were a bit slimy ... so putting that on the "SKIP" list). On the up side, the steak was great!

Moving on to better news:
     Today, I had another fantastic brunch that started with a basket of their gratis breakfast breads and an extra side of my favorite mini-blueberry muffins, then on to their special, a trio of  benedicts with truffled hollandaise sauce, and everything was delicious.

I can always expect to have a relaxing brunch here with attentive service and a great ambiance. It was nice to see the restaurant bustling with the ever-fashionable Back Bay crowd; I could come here every weekend. See you soon, Abe & Louie's!

My Opinions: I wish this was my kitchen every morning!

I had my first brunch of 2011 today, and it was fantastic.  I got my favorite booth next to the fireplace (yes!) and, although I saw some new faces, they all seemed to fit right in. The service and food is still top-notch!

I celebrated today with my KK-signature brunch dish: Crab Cakes Benedict (scrambled) w/fruit cup instead of potatoes and truffled hollandaise sauce on the side. Now you know what wakes me up on the weekends. Try it, and thank me later!

Happy New Year, All!

My Opinions: Dinner was fantastic tonight. I really like sitting downstairs (you get to see all the bar action), and the management got me a booth next to the fireplace which made the meal that much better. It's the little touches that are so extra special!

I was introduced to a "signature" cocktail here tonight, the flirtini, and it was turning heads. It was very good (aka very strong) and, even though I'm not a fan of sweet drinks, it did taste delicious.

The cuts of meat have remained top-notch, the greens are crisp and clean, and the service is unwaveringly excellent. I can't wait to come have another meal here in 2011!

My Opinions: Surprise - I just had lunch (not brunch) here today! The burger was delicious and the staff really do a great job of making it an enjoyable place to eat.

Don't miss out on the outside dining before the cold front moves in. The patio offers great people-watching. The staff is exceptional, and the food quality is always fresh and flavorful.

My Opinions: Brunch is my favorite meal to enjoy here – Exceptional Staff – Food quality is fresh – High-Standard of cleanliness – The décor is what you’d expect … simple, warm and masculine – The bi-level floor plan and fireplace is a nice touch – Bar scene is typically lively, but can be extremely overcrowded – Wine list selection is plentiful
