We had a wonderful dinner! All the food was fantastic and the service was top notch. Best I have experienced since covid! Every dish was delish and we had a very enjoyable evening!

The staff was accommodating and pleasant. Drinks were good. I didn't expect the restaurant to be continuous with the lobby--The bar was situated well. The appetizers: we really enjoyed the brussel sprouts -- it was well seasoned and delicious. The Catalan tomato bread was very good too. For the entrees, the two people who got burgers enjoyed them a lot. The bolognese was a little bland and the pasta was overcooked. The mussels were ok but again, not particularly flavorful. Desserts were not good--mostly lacking in flavor except for the lemon pistachio olive oil cake--which was dry but had good frosting. We got the strawberry crepe, chocolate cake, and ricotta cheesecake--which were quite average. As I said, the staff were very nice and professional, the burgers were really good, and the rest of the meals we had were OK. If you're looking for a quiet place to eat and relax, the ambience is nice.

Nice ambience. diverse menu but inexperienced service. There were 4 people in our party. The server brought dishes for 3 of us. After waiting several minutes (and our food getting cold) for the fourth person to be served we asked the server about the dish and he responded that he'd check. Did he not notice that when he brought 3 dishes the order was incomplete? If we hadn't said anything would he have noticed? When 3 out of 4 of us were done eating he started clearing our plates leaving one person rushing to finish her food and feeling rushed. He should have waited until everyone was done eating before clearing. My friend said it felt awkward that she was the only one still eating and all of us were waiting for her to finish. Amateur service. Not sure I ‘d go back even though I live in the neighborhood.

The service was great, but the food was just OK. My Papradelle entree was very bland. The atmosphere feels like a hotel lobby (because it is) and wasn't exactly cozy or romantic.

Came here for dinner with work colleagues. Their red wine selection was good and the steak was delicious! Perfect place for a work function or date night.
I have long been a fan of Peregrine, but I was frankly disappointed by my recent dinner there. It strikes me as, at best, inappropriate to pair potato chips (rather than French fries) with a burger, especially when the burger is only one of three entrees. The lemon cake was very dry. In the not distant past, the food was consistently wonderful. It has recently declined. I would now recommend Peregrine for its atmosphere, not for its cuisine.

Awful experience. Tried reaching out to restaurant off line, but no response. So reaching out here so at least others are warned.We were a group of 6 at Table 41 which essentially shared space with the lobby couch.I will say that the server did his best, but was clearly short staffed.Otherwise the food was really awful -- The cocktails took forever to get and were totally lackluster without flavor. Mine had a very odd taste and was difficult to drink. We were celebrating a birthday and I didn’t want to ruin the vibe by sending things back, but we probably should have.- The “Snack” toasts were comprised of essentially white bread with some butter smeared on a a plate with some dry old appearing anchovies placed on the side. The other “snack dishes” all seems to have the same cheese placed on the plate in no specific order or fashion with some pieces of chocolate that were few and hard to find. The ham was a couple of slices of oily meat and totally gross. All were totally weird and nothing beyond what you might pick up at a supermarket.- The mains were also essentially tasteless across the board. Several of our group had the Papardelle which looked awful and had no taste whatsoever. Just clotted cream on noodles. Hard to eat. My son’s hamburger was also standard and essentially just edible.- The deserts were equally forgettable.And the total meal with tip came to about $450!!?We eat at good restaurants all over Boston, and this was one of the worst meals we’ve had in a long time.Currently it feels like at Peregrine - no one is at the wheel. Steer clear!

Love the service and atmosphere at the peregrine. Lovely spot! The burger is excellent but tiny - would be happy to pay more to make it a full size burger. Have had it twice now and always wish it left me full. Pastas are hit or miss. This time was a hit cold. Great cocktails.

I was very surprised by this restaurant- I wouldn't even call it a restaurant. I was just a collection of tables in the lobby of a hotel. Definitely a weird atmosphere for dinner, drinks might have been fine but I would not recommended for dinner. The food was expensive for what it was, the drinks were small and very weak.

I dined at Peregrine on Valentine’s Day — at first we were charmed by the quaint and cute aesthetic.But when we sat down, we learned they were enforcing a prix fixe menu only, for $90 per person. Normally, I like prix fixe menus, and I understand the need for one on a busy day like Valentine’s. But in their essence, I thought they are supposed to be cheaper for the restaurant AND the diner. $90 dollars seemed like a needlessly steep Valentine’s-based extortion at a restaurant where a typical main course is $30-35, so instead, this felt like I was being taken advantage of, which really didn’t sit well with me.The food was okay, nothing special but not a disappointment. I’d like to try the a la carte menu, but probably won’t go back to do so.Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: No Vegan options.
Peregrine is wonderful. Lovely setting, really nice bar area. We enjoyed the brunch and wine selections. Food is very well prepared and presented. The service was actually good, but that was only when we could actually get someone’s attention - rather choppy when you have to repeatedly flag someone down for help.

Average overpriced pasta . Short menu not many options , I think one dish was listed twice on the menu with different names . When I ordered both the waitress told me it's the same thing and that I should pick something else . Weird .

Ordered two cocktails at the bar and got charged 7% kitchen fee. Quite unfortunately unexpected considering we weren't even given so much as peanuts for a snack.
