Best of Boston

The jacketed servers at this 60-year-old steakhouse provide white-tablecloth hospitality whether you’re a tourist fresh from a Sox game or a dressed-up regular. Hefty steaks are done right, but it’s the accoutrements that fuel Abe & Louie’s legacy status: enormous, crispy hash browns, a 34-page wine book, and classic desserts (we love the skillet cookie) topped tableside with heaping spoonfuls of Chantilly cream.
