    We started with small plates - panelle, parsnip humus, and tomato bread. For a main I had the kale salad and my wife the romaine. The salads were huge - almost too much but delicious. I had a single anchovy - the fresh kind you only get in Italy. I wish there had been more. We accompanied these with the brut sparkling rose and then the ciliegiolo rose - both very nice. For desert we had the lemon pistachio cake and the cookies - both to die for. A lovely evening in front of the window overlooking the garden and firepit.

    This was a return visit to Peregrine to celebrate two birthdays and a friend’s successful surgery. We ate early (5 PM) and were fortunate to get a table outdoors in the lovely garden courtyard. We each had different entrees and they were uniformly delicious. The side salads were very fresh and perfectly dressed, not drowned in dressing as so often happens. My husband also ordered the lemon pistachio cake for dessert and loved it. Excellent service from our delightful server. Thanks for another great evening!

    The restaurant was not busy, but the service was just fair. The servers were friendly, but not attentive. We ordered the focaccia with anchovy first, and then the pizza. We should have been warned by the server that the so-called pizza was exactly the same as the first thing we ordered, with just a different topping. The pizza topping wasn’t even good. Then we ordered the chickpea cake, which was just ok. Then the shrimp and potatoes with were sitting in a full cup of oil. It was a very disappointing experience overall.

    Peregrine has a great ambience and good service. The food was underwhelming. The salad was overly lemony and the couscous overly salty and the mussels didn't taste as fresh as I would have expected. Even the butter was bland. The drinks were very good.

    Had a lovely parsnip dip. Wanted radicchio salad , as listed on the menu, but, they were out of it. Had a Romaineinstead. However would have been much better with croutons on it. The grilled shrimp was quite tasty. Our cocktails were excellent. Would like to give a shout out to Diego, fabulous service

    Lovely boutique hotel. Cute bar. Excellent bar tender and martini. But my dinner was absolutely dreadful. Overcooked chicken. Amateur sauce. Horrible tough potatoes. Literally ate 5 bites. Also their was a bad burnt smell coming from the kitchen that was acrid. I will not be back.

    Our table was not ready when we arrived (not busy, just not set up), and our party of 4 was seated at a table for 8 - very uncomfortable. We were informed our entire party had to order from either the prix fixe (salad, pasta, and entree) or a la carte menu - probably so that we wouldn’t notice that the prix fixe portions were so much smaller. Both menus were extremely limited - only 4 entrees, 3 salads, and a few more appetizers. The salads were atrocious - a “Caesar“ salad of kale without a Caesar dressing or Parmesan, a mixed greens salad that was really only lettuce and a very strong vinegar, and a radicchio salad that we didn’t try. The prix fixe menu only had 4 pastas, all of which were very small and not particularly interesting. The entrees weren’t bad - we had the roast chicken, the duck, and the steak - but nothing particularly inspired, just decent food. The service was quite bad, even though there were only a few tables full. Our server did not try to accommodate a simple request and never checked on us after our courses were delivered. But the most infuriating thing was the billing. The menu informed us that a 7% gratuity would be added for kitchen staff, because MA law didn’t allow for tip sharing with kitchen staff. But then when the bill came, a card with tan writing on white background informed us that tipping was not required because they paid their servers a living wage. Of course, we did not notice this until after we had added a tip. And then there was 7% added for kitchen staff (who are not paid a living wage?). Either say no tipping or don’t, but don’t try to confuse the patrons. And it wasn’t a cheap dinner out for 4! We will not be returning.

    Service was non-existent except when we waved down a server (which is embarrassing to do). Servers didn't understand how to clear (we were asked to save our used flatware for next course & they were placed on the uncovered table top-gross). The kitchen's ventilation system is so bad that our clothes reeked of food smells, as though we had dinner sitting next to a deep fryer. Our steaks were ordered MR, but they arrived well-done, but at the point we just ate and left. Super disappointing.

    The service here was next level, so nice, great recommendations, and attentive but not excessive. The food was delicious. I didn’t realize this spot was in the lobby of the hotel but that didn’t matter, the ambiance was nice and it was a quieter spot for a long evening of conversation. I would return. (I opted for a mocktail when I was there and I think it’s the best mocktail I’ve ever had!)

    The four course NYE dinner was not worth the cost (~$200 for two, with tip, no drinks). The food was just okay and I guess we are just not into sugary sweet vegetables. They tried to make it right at least, but still fell short. A normal menu was not an option that night. This will be our first and last time at Peregrine.

    Nothing good about this experience. Dinning in a lobby hotel where the bartender has never seen the menu before and doesn’t know anything about making drinks 8% service charge because the kitchen help needs more money is what it says on the menu. This place is simply not good

    Peregrine - The Whitney Hotel BostonResponded on January 4, 2023Darryl, sorry you did not have a good experience on Christmas. To clarify we charge a service fee to allow us to share tips with the kitchen, as everyone in the company is paid a full wage, not because the kitchen help needs more money. We are readily available to discuss that further.

    Place is smaller than expected and appeared to be very casual considering it sits in a nice hotel. Went for Christmas dinner but it really was underwhelming for the price, can’t pinpoint why… perhaps it was the rather bright lighting? Or the inside tables are rather close to the entrance/waiting area?… The only thing we ordered that had a nice festive presentation was the buche de Noel cake.

    Had the $95 fixe prix menu. Was fine. Not memorable. The Faroe Island salmon which I was looking forward to was dry. The desserts were bad. The pistachio cake had lemon rind and we left it on the plate. Off the assorted cookie plate we ate only the raspberry bow tie.
