Downtown, if I want a great steak place, I go to Ruth's Chris.
For old school Italian, you should head to the North End, but that's a little bit of a hike from Downtown. Good seafood in the seaport district: Ocean Prime, also a bit of a hike from Downtown
Here are just a few of my favorites... (The North End is a short Uber or subway ride away.)
Island Creek Oyster Yankee Lobster - excellent lobster rolls in Seaport district Trattoria Monica - North End intimate dinning Giacomo's - North End great value/food (a wait, but worth it) Pizzeria Regina - get your pizza fix in with a classic Top of the Hub - great view of the city (although if you're there, most won't notice it...)

What/Where is the best restaurant for dinner/Drinks in Backbay, Copley Square or Downtown Boston?
You are completely correct. Regina's vaunted crust is dry and I prefer my pizzas to be made in swastika-less ovens. Ernesto's is also more value for money and they have a greater variety of toppings.
Take a trek to Sam LaGrassa's downtown and stand in line with the boys of Boston business. The sandwiches are not to be missed. On the other hand you'll likely be busy Otherwise almost anywhere in Copley in good for dinner.
Select Oyster Bar is a favorite for drinks and seafood. The chef, formerly of Neptune Oyster, doesn't like lobster, which explains why his lobster dishes tend to be amazing (he needs to raise the dish without relying on lobster as a crutch). Try the lobster salad or the off-menu, lunch-only lobster sandwich (don't call it a roll).
Erbaluce in Bay Village/Theater District is some of the best Italian food in the city. Sorellina (Italian) and Mistral (French) are some other great options.
