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.

    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.

    Our server was absolutely wonderful! The food top notch as before. The only thing was that it felt as though the restaurant was a little short staffed.

    Loved the pupu platter and desserts! $18 for cocktails was a pretty stiff price though.

    Went with my wife. Service and food were top rate. I had the fried chicken and my wife the shrimp ravioli. Also tried the beef tartar and their version of a Greek Salad. Liked it as much , if that is possible, as the old Esstern Standard, if not more. Will definitely go again. Thank you, guys.

    Second time in and our party of five had a fantastic experience, equal parts food, drink, service (especially waitress with impeccable timing) and ambience. Octopus, endive salad, lamb chops, filet, duck club, burgers - all delicious and prepared exactly as requested, including GF accommodation. A Manhattan heavy on specifics was expert-crafted, sub-zero cold and delivered at the perfect time. Great music heavy on classic indie played loud enough to hear but low enough to talk normally. We’ll be back for sure!
