    Food was great! Service was great, waiter was very attentive and drinks were also good. Cool restaurant hidden in speakeasy. Highly recommend.

    Bogie's is definitely a cool little spot - essentially a speakeasy steakhouse hidden inside The Wig Shop bar. There are only a couple tables, making it feel quite exclusive while dining. The service is reasonable with basically one server/bartender for the small number of tables in back. Our server was friendly, but every once in awhile you could tell when it was getting busier and he wasn't around as often as you might expect. Their rolls and butter were phenomenal. I could have probably eaten 4 myself. We started with the Salmon Tartare, as it was a unique dish, and it was well worth it. Fresh with crisp wonton crisps - highly recommend. For our mains, the filet and NY Strip were both solid, if not quite the top tier steaks from elsewhere outside Boston. They were a true 4-star dish - one with really no complaints but just a bit less flavorful than the best out there! Bogie's is worth the visit even if just for the destination itself, but the food also won't disappoint!

    The ULTIMATE date night destination!! This spot is literally hidden inside of another restaurant so it's tiny (5 tables total) and feels very private. Most of the place is lit by candlelight and they were playing Frank Sinatra all night in the background. The vibe/ambiance here is beyond cozy, intimate and romantic... My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We started with the steak tartare, which in itself was excellent, but it was served with "kettle chips" aka Cape Cod potato chips which I felt like was an odd pairing. For our entree, we shared the tomahawk steak (medium-rare). It was an ample portion size for two people, cooked perfectly and had the most amazing juicy flavor. It came with steak butter on top, which our server lit on fire at our table to heat up (nice touch!). For our sides, we got the asparagus and fingerling potatoes. We are normally not asparagus people but we couldn't stop commenting on how amazing it was; thin, crispy asparagus sticks smothered in a flavored butter sauce. I could eat these everyday they were that good! And omg the dessert!! We shared the "campfire brownies" which was a HUGE bowl of crumbled brownies, melted marshmallows and ice cream. Days later we are still talking/thinking about this dessert. I would highly recommend this place for any special occasion! :)

    Visited this place before Christmas based off a friend's recommendation. The place was small intimate and dark. It was attached to a speakeasy which was busy when we walked in. The service was good and the steaks were better than expected. The only issue I had was the place was so small and where I was seated. I kept getting bumped by the busboy and anyone else walking by me. Food and service were very good but seating was terrible for me.

    The atmosphere here was really cool and unique. Had to enter through a Wig Shop. They escort you to this private back room with a few tables. Very chic, velvet walls, small bar but very attentive staff. A huge plus was the private bathroom in the back. Perfect to have a conversation with dinner not too loud in here even when full. It's sandwiched between the Wig Shop bar on one side and JM bar on the other but you couldn't even tell honestly. Nice menu for food and drinks. The cocktails we had were delicious! The biggest draw for us was the steaks. I had a NY sirloin as a table we ordered broccolini and duck fat potatoes as our a la carte sides to share. This has to be one of the best, juiciest, tender, almost melt in your mouth, flavorful steak I've ever had. We savored each bite. We will definitely be coming back. Pricey but it's worth every penny ! Our waiter Kevin was fantastic!

    Bogie's always comes up as one of the best steakhouses in Boston for a reason. It won't come up as one of the flashy places that attract tourists. This is a place to go if you really just want a great steak and are willing to pay a good amount for it. The au poivre sauce is probably the best we'd ever had. The sides are not included, like with most upscale steak houses, but the mushrooms were delicious. The menu is small but the food came out fast. The staff really elevated the experience and gave very well informed and honest input on the menu. They really pulled off the speakeasy experience without any gimmick. Stop by wig shop of the way out for some interesting cocktails.

    We came for a friend's birthday and had a fantastic time. Our server was Jeremy and he was great - we had a few questions about the menu which he was very knowledgeable of, he helped us pick out a bottle of wine, and overall made the entire dinner very fun which we appreciated! The space is very intimate and feels very much like a prohibition era speakeasy. The food was excellent, we got the bone marrow as an appetizer and all of us got different steaks which were perfectly cooked and very well dressed. Would definitely recommend for a more cozy night out!

    Small hole in a wall type of place, but great service. I love the asparagus, and the steak was really well seasoned (which is super rare imo). Overall, would recommend for a nice date night (it's also attached to the Wig Shop bar)

    Such an amazing dining experience. I went with my best friend as a late birthday dinner and we absolutely loved the experience. They did have us wait at JM Curley and it was a bit awkward just standing around but we did not wait more then 10 minutes for our table. It was a unique and special experience. Our waiter was extremely informative and gracious. We shared a tomahawk and where automatically informed that it does take a little extra time due to the size of the steak and we loved being kept in the loop. The wait for it was actually not bad at all and we did not mind it. We didn't want an app since we got such a large portion of steak and just enjoyed the warm bread and compound butter it was paired with. I will absolutely be back and will recommend trying them out for a date night or special event for sure. The price for 2 was not bad compared to other steakhouses in the area.

    What is the dress like there? Jeans or is that too casual?

    We wore khakis when we went there. However, I got the feeling that no one there really cares as to how you are dressed.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls!
