   Overall we had an okay experience but the service was below satisfactory. I asked for backyard seating and was told it’s all booked. However, it looked pretty open to me while I was there. I’m not sure why we weren’t offered the seating given that I mentioned it in my Open table comment and asked in person. A couple moments after I sat down a waiter came to ask whether I would like to order a drink and appetizers. I told him I was fine at the moment but he kept pushing, “no drinks? No appetizers?” I was a little irritated by that since it should be clear that I was waiting for the rest of my group to arrive- why would I order appetizers then? It was also confusing as to who our server was as several waiters were serving us that night. At one point the hostess came to ask us whether we are ready to order, and after hearing that we needed a few more minutes, she just left without saying anything, which I thought was a little rude. Food-wise, we enjoyed the small plates but the main course was okay for how much they cost.

   Wonderful ambiance and service, excellent food. It truly has the feel of a European cafe. The Catalan cheesecake is special!

   Slow service, food was just OK. I have had dinner at Peregrine before and really enjoyed it - but they missed the mark with breakfast.

   Excellent lunch. Pasta was perfect. Try the parsnip puree appetizer, with green olives and preserved lemons. Wonderful. Ask for it if it is not on the menu.

   Shrimp in salad was “fishy”. Smoked salmon was ice cold, just out of the fridge. I hope this was just an off day for the restaurant because in the past it has been terrific.

    Excellent restaurant! I took my wife and kid to Peregrine for my wife's birthday. We had an amazing time. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. We love the setting too, in Beacon Hill, in a charming boutique hotel. I particularly love how the restaurant pays their staff a living wage so tipping isn't necessary. The prices seems the same as any other nice restaurant too, so you're actually getting a great value when you factor in not tipping an additional 20% on your bill. They have a great courtyard and patio for outdoor drinks and dining. We've done that in the past, but it was cold when we went so we dined indoors. We'll definitely be back. We love that place!

    The Whitney hotel is the best gem on Charles St. This was my first time having lunch there and I was so delighted with all of it! From the chairs and setting, to the service and food. 5 stars is an understatement!

    I really wanted to love Peregrine, but was sadly disappointed. The service was wonderful and the wine was delicious, but we were both underwhelmed by the food. We did like the celery and Catalan bread appetizers, but the chestnuts were very dry and we were not impressed with our mains. I had the paella which left me unimpressed and my friend (who’s birthday it was) only ate part of her pappardelle.

    Very expensive! We had lunch, no dessert. One glass of wine and one mocktail and it came to more than 70$! I think that is quite exorbitant. The food was OK, nothing special really. The mocktail was the highlight of the meal.

    We enjoyed a long lunch. It was important to allow us time and we comfortably enjoyed lunch and they accommodated our need for time. Food was excellent. Service was well attended and very polite. This is a favorite spot for me. I did request to be relocated as I considered our original table to be too close to another and I am sensitive to the recommendation of social distance even at this tome. I did find the hostess to be resistant to my request which surprised me. An eye-roll was not what I expected . As a regular guest at the hotel, I insisted to move as my lunch guest is immunocompromised( many might be as we are close to MGH people!). We ultimately had a table which allowed us to feel safe.

    Absolutely love this underrated restaurant. The food is really exceptional and the menu is always current. We started with cocktails by the fire, then dined on focaccia with anchovies, salt cod brandade, and smoked scallops, all of which went perfectly with the bottle of chardonnay that the bartender helped us select. Peregrine is one of our favorite restaurants for a romantic date.

    Went here for Thanksgiving so not their normal menu. A friendly, casual place, in line with prices good expect in the area. The staff was attentive and pleasant. Wine choices good. Cocktails stiff. The meal was uneven, possibly because this was out of their normal line (turkey fine, cranberry good, gravy bland, stuffing was what you might expect from hospital cuisine). The sides (Delicata squash and wax beans) were terrific). Parsnip Dip also good. I might try again on a non-holiday.
