Ordered a martini and then steamed mussels. The dirty martini was really well prepared. The mussels were prepared in a spicy broth which made them very enjoyable. There were 2 slices of sourdough bread to use to sop up the broth. The level of service was uneven. I after being seated I waited about 10 minutes before a server came to my table. However, later in the meal a different server checked to see how things were and he was very attentive

Delightful experience. Dined in the gorgeous courtyard garden. Theresa was an outstanding and helpful server. Loved the salads. Mussels were overcooked but the broth was divine. Will return.

Go for: A beautiful space in a historic neighborhood that's close to the T.

Avoid if: You're in a hurry or on a budget.

Something surprising: The head chef leads another restaurant in the Seaport that serves global fusion food.

Reservation needed? Not usually; maybe for dinner.

Overall . We wanted to love this restaurant, but were disappointed. While the food was quite good, the meager portions left us hungry at the end of the meal, they were overpriced (typical of the neighborhood), and we waited a long, long time between each check-in with our server (and saw our table neighbors were, too, with different servers). It's a cool spot for a drink and an appetizer at the bar on a weekend afternoon, but there's a reason you don't see a lot of local residents dining here.

Our waiter was charming and outstanding – John. The food was excellent and presented beautifully. The noise level was high for our business dinner. 

Kelvin

Very nice atmosphere for cocktails and for dining. The bar is also very nice for both if you're a single dinner looking for a chill classy spot. Portion sizes on food make this place a good value. Friendly helpful staff make the experience very warm and welcoming.

Everything was excellent. We did wait for a full hour for any food to arrive. I was starving. I had to ask for our bread and oysters after 60 minutes. Other than that, we loved our meal. Ambience was A+.

The beef cheek was absolutely delicious. Tender and cooked to perfection. My server was top notch.(Summer) She was friendly, attentive, and very helpful with recommendations. Even the management came around to introduce themselves and asked how everything was. All around a great experience. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone!

Terrible new menu, poorly ran by management and GM is insane according to every employee. But bartenders are all great; tall one with red hair was my favorite.

Service was friendly and attentive. The chowder was especially good. Definitely will return with friends.

Wonderful meal at the bar. Best drinks I've seen in a while!!!! Oysters and pickled shrimp were my favorites. But everyone loved everything they had!

Leah Klein

Really nice menu featuring local New England ingredients. Lots of good comfort food and something to suit most diners palates and preferences. From pasta to the most perfectly confit’d chicken.

As a frequent flyer at Peregrine, I’ve always counted on them for consistently delicious meals — but today, they truly outdid themselves. The updated menu brings a fresh breath of air, with creative dishes that still honor the flavors I’ve loved here for years. Every bite felt like a step above the usual (and that’s saying something!).
I’m especially excited to come back soon to try their brand-new dinner menu. On top of the culinary updates, the dining room is also getting a refresh — new chairs on site with tables on the way, making the space as inviting as the food. Bravo to the Peregrine team for keeping things fresh without losing the soul of what makes this place so special.

Those 🥞 PANCAKES!

I loathe writing this review because I don’t want the throngs from Paramount down the street to find their way here!

Because this is so far superior!

We loved the brekkie here! It wasn’t greasy or too much or too little!

The ambience is elegant but relaxed and one can linger a bit.

Loved it and will become a regular!

Friend and I had lunch at Peregrine for the second time. We liked it both times. My beet salad was especially pretty and delicious. Friend loved the burger. Atmosphere is pleasant though very quiet. I hope they have more business at dinner. Server was nice but toasted my bread even though she asked me if I wanted it toasted, and I said, No. More to the point, one piece of bread with butter was $6.00... seriously? Over the top! So, value proposition was marginal, but I bet we'll go again.

A sweet oasis in the busy corridor near MGH. We had lunch on a weekday and the service, atmosphere, and food were excellent. The server recommended a Tinto de Veranos as a substitute for Sangria, and it was a treat. He also recommended the Beet Salad which was lovingly prepared and tasted delightful. The Brie and Jam toast ws superb.
We have been several times and always had delicious food and thoughtful service.
