About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Was OK. Food not bad but not great. Menu sparse and not with coherent identity. Space was a more of a step up from a bar rather than an elegant brasserie. Seems likely they are catering to Fenway tourists. Would not return. Staff trying hard,though.

    Wonderful dinner to celebrate my son’s graduation. Drinks were awesome and food was delicious. Servers were attentive even though the restaurant was super busy with lots of large groups. Will definitely return!

    We loved Blue Ribbon Brasserie for a celebration on April 19! If you try nothing else, GET the CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 11 out of 10.❤️

    Compared to the original Eadten Standard it is quite sad. Limited choices, exhirbitant prices

    We decided to finally try Blue Ribbon and I am not sure we’ve experienced a service level more disappointing at this price point. Was the food good — absolutely! It was ruined however by our waiter. First, he wrote nothing down and as a consequence when our four meals arrived, mine was wrong. Did the waiter or manager come immediately over to address the mistake? NO! The poor runner had to do so. When the waiter finally came over he made light of his mistake, never owned it, and chuckled about it. Then, he disappeared — we never saw him at our table again. The manager then seemed to take over, again never acknowledging the wrong order; she simply asked if we needed anything else. No explanation about why our waiter disappeared. He was on the floor, just not waiting on us. Please know, we were not unkind about the mistake, we simply would have liked some accountability and acknowledgment that there was a mistake and it resulted in an unevenly timed dining experience for us. The basics were also missed such as not getting water refills and then this odd swapping of our forks after we had oysters even though we never used our forks. Our waiter explained is a “pomp and circumstance”. Such a shame that the high quality food is unsupported by a service staff of equal quality.
