About the restaurant

Chef-favorite, late-night brasserie featuring raw bar, seafood, American dishes & cocktails in a convivial setting. Blue Ribbon's bustling dining room and friendly bar have been serving neighborhood regulars and culinary industry insiders since 1992. The Bromberg Brothers' eclectic vision first sprang to life here and has blossomed into an iconic destination known for its late-night dining scene where the country's top chefs congregate and eat after closing their own kitchens. Whether you're craving a burger and a beer, a hanger steak and a pint, a roasted rack of lamb and a deep red cabernet or the famed shellfish platter and champagne, Blue Ribbon is famously open late, seven nights a week.

The food was really good, but they ran out of guacamole and the featured entree. Almost like a gas station running out of gas! Somebody needs to do a better job ordering supplies. That all said what we did order was quite tasty. Highly recommend but you may have to get there before 6 if you want the guacamole or the featured entree. The live entertainment was really great when we arrived but fizzled out to very blah before they ended.
