Fittingly situated at the Convention Center end of Back Bay, this New York-style steakhouse satisfies by fulfilling expectations. The clubby décor of dark wooden booths and a flickering fireplace is a perfect match for the high-protein menu of charred steaks and grilled fish. The dessert trolley even features New York cheesecake. Atkins dieters can pass on the extra carbs, like the side of mashed potatoes.
