It was our first visit to Abe and Louie's and it was very satisfying. We had read the reviews and so I was prepared to drop $300 for the two of us. We've been to Morton's, NY Prime, Ruth's Chris and Lobster Chop House in Boca. There's no question the Abe and Louie's is right up there with them. In my estimation, they are all good and depending on the night any one could come out on top. But back to Abe and Louie's. First, the food: We didn't hold back and just ordered what we wanted. We started by ordering cocktails and sharing a shrimp cocktail. It was superb and I, personally, really enjoyed the little dish of horseradish they provided next to the cocktail sauce. My wife initially chastised me for adding the horseradish, but was soon doing it too! My wife liked her glass of wine enough that we ordered a bottle for dinner. We asked if we could then share the chop salad, changing the dressing. No problem. It was delicious too! We both opted for steaks and took the advice of a previous review and added the cheddar cheese. That was really, really good! We recommend that. Added to the entree was a baked sweet potato and the spinach with mushrooms and garlic! Both were great sides. The sweet potato came with a small side of brown sugar...another nice touch. After consuming only half of our steaks, we decided to sample the Key Lime pie. Good choice! I am a fan of key lime pie and this was as good as any. Now the service: We were well-greeted upon arrival and seated right away (we had reservations). The waiter was very pleasant and one thing I thought was really commendable on his part. He was there ready to serve us quickly, but when it became obvious that we were in no hurry, he backed off and never pushed us the rest of the night. I'm no big spender, but I felt very welcome there. The atmosphere inside is that nice dark wood and leather seating so common in good steakhouses. I took off a couple of points because we were seated at a very small table. We are only a couple but at each delivery of our table we were constantly rearranging things to make room for it. I don't expect that at a really good restaurant. Those dining with larger parties didn't have that problem. So after all the drinking, eating and a bottle of wine, we must have exceeded our budget? Nope, $210 before tip. So still expensive, but within expectations. Would I go back? You bet I would! There is a lot of the menu to explore and it ranks up there with my best eating experiences. Enjoy!

The atmosphere is fine, the service is friendly and proper, but the food is average steakhouse. Yes, the steak and lobster were fine, but we were rushed in and out within 1 hour with appetizers, entree and wine pushed at an extremely fast rate. Then the check was dropped unrequested for $500+ for 4 people! I don't mind paying $$$$ for an excellent meal in the proper circumstance, but this location does not warrant the hype nor price. I am not going back.

We have dined at Abe and Lousies for lunch and dinner and always a wonderful experience. In addition to the Great Steaks ..Love the Ribeye and nY but you need to check out their great oysters ...always a great selection..also check out the Baked Stuff Lobster with your steak..Great Wine list also .. Of course with any top Steak House its not for the budget concious..but have even stopped in for just desert and coffee..decadent..

The food is as good as Peter Lugers. Steak cooked to perfection, just as you requested it. Side dishes great but the hash browns were like potato chips. Ice Cream Sundae good and the hot fudge fabulous. If I could afford it I would eat here every week.
