Editorial Review for Abe & Louie's – by Eric Grossman

In Short
Families and packs of salespeople tuck into their meals, linen napkins buttoned to their collars (literally--the napkins come with button-holes). From the dark-veneered wooden booths to the roaring fireplace and dessert cart, someone worked overtime to ensure that this multi-chambered space lives up to the clubby aesthetic of the New York steakhouse stereotype. The usual steakhouse staples proliferate: charred rib eye, carefully grilled salmon fillets, sides of creamed spinach and rich mashed potatoes.

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Few places are as consistently rude and pompous. I am frequently forced to bring clients to Abe and Louie's due to work stipulations and never seem to have a pleasant experience. The Maître d's that "welcome" you do so in a way that exudes arrogance and superiority. This would be excusable if the food backed it up, but I find that Abe and Louie's rides on their name and "reputation", and delivers a subpar meal and overall dining experience. You can definitely get over charged at much finer places

Pros: You wont have to buy lottery tickets to waste your money

Cons: Poor service, arrogance, sub-par meal

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Cons: No Cons
