Boston's Best Restaurants

Grill 23

161 Berkeley St.; 617-542-2255

Best: Private Dining Room

This Back Bay institution with clubby interiors—mahogany paneling, brass detailing, tapestries—is still Boston’s go-to steakhouse for the corporate set. From one of the seven private dining rooms, including the elegant Wine Room (up to 20) or the Exeter Suite (up to 26) with a marble fireplace, enjoy dishes like Maine Jonah crab claws, a 10-ounce Kobe cap steak and an 8-ounce veal porterhouse.
