Blue Ribbon Brasserie is built on the vision that originated over 30 years ago in New York City's SoHo at the legendary original Blue Ribbon, well known as the restaurant "where chefs go to eat." Blue Ribbon is also famously ready to serve here in Boston!

The space is highlighted by a 70-foot white Carrera marble bar, an oyster bar, and a 16-seat private dining room. The soaring interior has been designed as a collection of intimate dining spaces featuring cozy leather banquettes, shaded table lamps and bistro tables, and a light-filled solarium with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out into the neighborhood and beckon inside the Boston community and visitors alike.

    Possibly the worst service I’ve ever had - we sat at the table for 40 minutes in an empty restaurant before the waiter came to ask us our drinks. The portions were small, other than the fried chicken, and our server never checked on us during the meal. For the price, this is not remotely worth it. I booked this meal for an important business meeting and was extremely disappointed.

    Came here for Restaurant Week. Enjoyed the French onion soup, cod entree and chocolate Bruno. Food was solid. Wine was delicious. Suggest add a few touches to elevate your dishes (slice of orange, touch of mint or parsley for color). Kinda slow to get seated (had reservation and they were not slammed). Not sure what the problem was. Wrong appetizer was delivered to my husband; took a while to get the right one delivered. By then, I was done my app. Server was warm and friendly.

    My wife and had a delicious meal at Blue Ribbon. We made a reservation specifically because the menu looked delicious and the location was right around the corner from Landsdown St where we’re attending a concert at the MGM Music Hall. We shared pan fried gnocchi, and shrimp cocktail. She opted for a frisse salad while I had lamb chops. The staff was very attentive to my wife’s garlic intolerance and made sure there was no kitchen cross-contamination. The manager made a special effort to make sure we were pleased and made a point of coming over before we left to make sure we were totally satisfied. (We were!!) This is definitely a place to dine prior to a Fenway Park event!

    I don’t know why this is place is not packed . The food is excellent & the service is very attentive & nice & the price point is so reasonable compared to comparable places . The decor is the one thing I can think of . It’s kind of like a generic hotel restaurant so it definitely does not give a “ cool fun” vibe . It’s otherwise great !

    The food was very good, great variety. Service was excellent, the gentleman server was attentive and helpful. A little pricey but it's Boston, so expected.

    From the smiling hostess upon arrival to the shared crème boule to complete our meal this was a five star dining experience. Our server was always there when we needed something and the food was amazing. We shared a creative take on brussel sprouts that was more like brussel sprout chips and included pomegranate seeds. Our entrees were the glazed cod special and the best paella I can remember. The portion was so big it will make a heathy lunch.

    Blue Ribbon Brasserie has always been our go to for dinner, but our experience on Valentine’s Day was disappointing. Our server seemed more attentive to other tables and was quite dismissive toward us, which was surprising given the usually excellent service we always expect. We were also excited to try something new, but due to poor communication from our server, we ended up with meals that we didn’t enjoy. For such a special occasion, this was a letdown. We truly hope this was just an off night, as we’ve always loved dining here. Hoping for a better experience next time.
