About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

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 ragu is out of this world! My father is from Tuscany and if there’s one thing I know about it’s good Italian cuisine and this ragu is as close to not only my own ragu, but that of my Tuscan Father and nonna. If you know your sugo, come here and have the ragu, it’s as good as it gets out of Italy itself … Francesca

How can you be tucked in and elegant but casual in Kenmore square? They manage and some of the best service ever in a city not know for it. I had the salmon and it was probably the best salmon I ever had!

This is basically an overpriced TGIF. A way, way overpriced Fridays. Food is no better than a casual dining chain restaurant like Applebee’s or chilies. But the price was – are you sitting down – $177 for a burger, a shrimp appetizer, a salad, and a vegetarian kebab. Plus two drinks. Service was excellent and the inside is fairly nice, if a bit 2nd-rate looking. Food quality was extremely average. It’s just not worth it in any way... Don’t go.

The steak was ordered to be medium rare. It came back medium well. The salmon was overcooked, too. It was a much better spot when it was Eastern Standard. The food at the old Eastern Standard was outstanding as was the service. This new place is a poor substitute. We will not return.
