Impeccable service! I forget how rare it is and how pampered it makes you feel. Grill 23 offers that. And beautifully prepared food, if a little too salty for my taste. And DineOutBoston makes it a deal.

Restaurant was highly rated by a close friend and world traveler and we found his judgement acccurate and spot on. We could only get an early reservation at 5:30pm on a Saturday but found the dining room fill up quickly. Ambience very nice and food superb. Drinks were very good too! Service by all pleasant and efficient. Did not have any wine because, although, the offering was extensive, the cost was higher than we wanted to spend vs what it costs at an other fine eating establishments. The multiple to retail was generous toward the establishment. Good for them if it is acceptable to most guests.
