Neighbourhood gem

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.

Very disappointing experience, particularly the quality of the food. I have been eating at Blue Ribbon Brasseries and other Blue Ribbon concepts since they first opened. The food has always been excellent until this last visit. Perhaps it was because they had a ‘holiday crew’ in the kitchen or perhaps the Boston outpost isn’t up to usual Blue Ribbon standards. The hamburger was overcooked and dry. The Chocolate Bruno was not its usual silky smooth, melt in your mouth texture. The pastry chef went way overboard with gelatin. And the Hot Fudge Sundae was made with hot milk chocolate rather than deep, delicious hot FUDGE. Only the French Onion soup lived up to expectations.

This a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and exceptional service. The appetizers were fabulous, all of us loved our meals, and the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had. I had messaged ahead that my family needed a quiet, private table to discuss a cancer diagnosis. The compassion of the manager who greeted us when we arrived was so sincere, and all the staff members went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and given privacy. We will definitely return, hopefully next time when I’m cancer free! Thank you again for helping us through a difficult night.

The restaurant definitely had the chain/ corporate vibe. Watered down cocktails. High prices compared to quality. Food was just so so. Ma Maison in Beacon Hill in comparison has much better food at lower prices and their service impeccable.

Flounder was good quality and well cooked but sauce was too salty. Swordfish was hard and rubbery. It must have been overcooked. Young server was attentive and responsive.
