So my boyfriend came home and this was his lap top...wondering how I can fix it as a present to him. Apple said around $700 cause its Retina Display and a 15" I believe? But does anyone know cheaper or such? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

No, unless you do it yourself, Apple's really the only way you should go with it.

It's hit-or-miss with third party repair shops.
 
best to check on ebay to see how much the replacement screens or same model laptops for parts are going for
then you can decided if having apple fix it is a good choice.

@700$ you could probably get a whole used working 2011 15" macbook pro
 
The Retina screens are laminated to the cover, there's really no cheaper way to do it :(
