Really disappointing meal. Very good service. Catfish is way overdone. Chicken and catfish and brussels sprouts from very salty. The bone marrow was very overpriced medium well prepared. The marrow itself was good but not from almost $30 for what used to be a leftover piece. It was really embarrassment for the restaurant. I've eaten lots of places I say what I think good and bad I will not be returning

Made reservations before a show. Our server was not warm, very short and didn't seem to care to be there. 2 tops were very close together. The couple next to us had an excellent server who showed attentiveness, welcomed them, brought bread to their table. Our server took our bread plates (we hadn't been served bread yet or asked if we wanted any). When we asked for it, it was delivered without plates. Which was a little strange. The service was just very dull. Food was delicious. We paid our bill and moved to the bar where the service was much better and the cocktails were perfect. Overall good experience. Would visit again for a quick dinner before a show. Not a date night spot.

The Service and Food were fantastic! When the type of Martini my sister wanted was not on the menu, the bartender came over and chatted with her and ended up making the best pistachio martini my sister had
The blue ribbon restaurant group is consistently one of the best restaurant groups we frequent. They are spot on with Service, the food is excellent and extremely fresh and we enjoy ourselves every visit. Brasserie is excellent.

Blue Ribbon Brasserie is the perfect place with a menu variety that covers most bases. Apps and entrees are really well balanced, the cocktails compliment the food perfectly and the service is always timely and personal. We always try something new and it never disappoints!

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed. Service was unfortunately slow, which may have been a fluke for that night, be we waited a long time on cocktails so our martinis were warm. Then we were underwhelmed by the starters. Steak tartare was decent, but I feel like the cut of meat must have been pretty cheap. The pierogis were an absolute miss - so boring and tasteless. Steak frite was luckily pretty good. But we were told to ask for bread, and when we did, I couldn't even eat half as it was so stale. Really unhappy about it, as the menu looks phenomenal and it took over for Eastern Standard, which was so much better quality
We had a great time! Got there a little earlier and had a drink at the bar and some oysters. When the rest of our party arrived we moved to the table. Service was excellent and our food was prepared to our liking. My husband and I split the ribeye.

Excellent experience. We booked because it was attached to our hotel, and to change the reservation count three times, but they were never annoyed and always accommodating. Excellent service, and the food was great. Very pleased.

I was able to enjoy restaurant week prices 2 times in a day! This was the second place I hit up and I liked it here! Dinner is $55 for a three-course meal, and I think that's a deal for dinner prices. Thank god for restaurant week, because it's not a lot off but still one can enjoy saving a few bucks here and there. I owed my chum a birthday meal, and I was chuffed she enjoyed her meal. We ended up getting something different to share and our mains were amazing! You can't go wrong with either the fried chicken or the steak. Both great and delicious in their own ways and a very generous portion for both dishes. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful and juicy. The crispy skin is everything. The steak was tender and smothered in deep rich dark gravy with crispy fries. The chowder was creamy and rich while the caesar salad was fresh and tangy. Our desserts were decadent and we were very happy and full people at the end of the meal and we had left overs too. This place is a winner! I'll absolutely come back for dinner and if they had lunch, I'd come for lunch too.
We love Blue Ribbon. We have had sushi at multiple of their locations, so we were excited to try the Brasserie. Total disappointment. The place is new, clean, and welcoming. We were seated right away with a reservation. The place was pretty packed though it was 7pm. It took a minute for our server to get to us once seated. Even after we put in a drink order, app/food order. She brought the food and never checked back. Figured it was just a busy time and she was overwhelmed. We got pierogi-they asked if we wanted them steamed or fried. We said fried assuming it would be a pan fry like pierogis are. They came out TINY and deep fried hard as rocks. They were inedible. We ordered the fried chicken since BlueRibbon is known for their fried chicken—it was fine but it was BLAND. No salt, no spices. Wine list is very boring and basic. Got a sparkling rose, it was flat. We called it quits at this point. We love BlueRibbon won't hold it against them—but will not be back. We had sushi with them next door beforehand so this did not ruin the night but would have.
Conveniently located across Kenmore Station, Blue Ribbon offers a variety of great dishes. LOCATION: Parking is tricky because it's right in the middle of Kenmore and Fenway so I recommend taking the train. SPACE: Very spacious and they were able to accommodate a large group of us. Note that the restrooms are located inside the hotel. FOOD: I opted for the dine out menu and chose clam chowder, steak frites, and chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious - my fellow diners also enjoyed their meal. A few of us ordered off the dine out menu and (duck and paella) and they both enjoyed it very much! SERVICE: They were quick, attentive and very patient with us, especially since we were a larger group.

We came here on a Friday night with a reservation, but it seemed like you could also easily grab a table without one. Once seated, our server was timely and quick with our orders, and we could tell it was getting very busy quickly past 8PM. We both tried a three course meal starting with clam chowder and beef tartare, then steak frites and fried chicken for the main meal, and creme brulee as dessert. First of all, the portions were bigger than I expected; we took home half our meal and it made for a great lunch the next day! The clam chowder was delicious and had a strong seafood taste, which I loved. My fried chicken was super crunchy and the mashed potatoes/gravy it came with was the perfect pairing. Our creme brulee was also a great dessert to end on, creamy and very very sweet! By dessert time however, I was already stuffed so I only managed to eat half of it. Next time, I'd absolutely try something new on their menu and probably order less food!

From the moment we stepped into blue ribbon located in Boston, we were enveloped in an unparalleled dining experience. The warmth of the greeting from Manager Sarah set the tone for the evening, and every member of the staff, from the host/hostess to our waiter Pattie, ensured that our special dinner was nothing short of extraordinary.Our culinary journey began with a delightful selection of drinks. I opted for the refreshing mule, while my mother indulged in the creamy espresso martini, which she described as "gooood." The wine list offered a fantastic array of French and Californian options, catering to every palate at our table.For appetizers, we savored the flavors of the plateau, escargot, French onion soup, and clam chowder, each dish showcasing the chef's expertise and attention to detail. Moving on to the main course, we enjoyed the steak and frites, perfectly cooked duck breast, and flavorful paella, tailored to our preference without lobster to accommodate the lobster already included in the plateau dish.No culinary journey would be complete without dessert, and we were not disappointed. The crème brûlée and chocolate sundaes were the perfect sweet endings to our meal, especially for the birthday queen among us.A special mention goes to Juliana, whose assistance when I thought I had misplaced my phone exemplified the exceptional service we received throughout the evening. Manager Sarah's frequent check-ins ensured that not only were our dining needs met, but also that the children at our table felt well taken care of.In summary, our experience here was nothing short of exceptional. From the impeccable service to the delectable cuisine, every aspect of our evening exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning to create more cherished memories at this remarkable establishment.Parking: Valet is offered for $30 at the hotel up ahead near the cornerKid-friendliness: Super friendly and children receive a 4 piece crayon box that my cousin and I used to play games on the table paper mat

Smaller but wide range menu with options for everyone without sacrificing quality of each dish. Highlights included steamed clams appetizer presented in a white wine sauce to satisfy even your pickiest non seafood eater, and shrimp provencal in a similarly delectable sauce. Members of my table also enjoyed the fried chicken and steak frites.
