What a magnificent place to get cappuccino on a rainy weekend morning. There is a leafy courtyard and beautiful old brick architecture as shown on the photo. I cant wait to bring my boyfriend back here for a romantic date. It's right next to the path to the Charles River too. The atmosphere is calm and stately, like walking into a 19th century novel. The staff is kind and welcoming. It is a no-tip restaurant, you are not actually allowed to tip even if you want to. read more

Delicious! My hubby and I came here for a date night About 2 weeks after they opened. The food was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the pasta with clams. Great ambiance and decor but it can get a little noisy with hotel guests coming into the lobby which is adjoined to the restaurant so if you're looking for a quieter spot this might not be it. read more

Beautiful spot, horrific service. Only 8 seats at the bar, 30 minutes before we were asked what we would like. Another 15 minutes before she made our drinks which were not right. read more

Sadly that is not the truth I did not get an update from the hotel. If I knew that there was no guidelines sitting there I would not sit there no one told me throughout the whole day till the middle of the day. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody read more

The food, service, and ambiance were spot on. The live music was amazing! The waiter was super nice and attentive. The food was delicious!

This place is just so lovely. The courtyard is beautiful and cozy. Our server was so friendly and accommodating -- and so was the restaurant overall. We had one vegan and one person with a dairy allergy in the group, and they took the time to explain to us what the different items were on the menu that could be modified for our various dietary needs. Great spot for a date or a dinner out with friends. read more

The brunch menu is great, and while it's not perfect yet, I'm sure the dedicated team behind Juliet and Peregrine will continue improving. The prices are very reasonable, especially when it's an all-inclusive price. Wish more restaurants would do this! Highlights: 1. Baked eggs. Delicious flavors and nicely spiced. On the sweeter side if you're used to a more acidic profile. Slight nitpick, the baked eggs came out warm rather than hot, and the eggs were completely set (rather than slightly runny, but maybe that was the intention here). 2. Catalan cheesecake dessert. The sherry-soaked cherries were a delightful compliment. Cheesecakes often tend to be on the sweeter side, so I enjoyed this nuanced take. Minor nitpicks: 1. The room can get quite loud. Not sure if it's the room shape, the walls or just some loud tables, but it got hard to hear my friend sitting across the table at times. Overall: Recommended! read more

I took my wife for Valentine's Day--food was very sub-par. Please spend your money elsewhere!

Overpriced, lit up with fluorescent lights at night, slow service, food was lackluster and clientele was obnoxious. Save your $$ and go anywhere else. read more

As a neighborhood local, we have been very excited about Peregrine's opening. We were especially excited as fans of Juliet. We've been three times now and although the food has been generally good, the menu is quite brief and the ambiance is lacking. The lighting at dinner is especially poor. They have the house lights all the way up which makes you feel as though you're eating in a hotel lobby - because, frankly, you are. We've eaten lunch (twice) and dinner; the first lunch was great. Meatball sandwich and Italian sandwich. Both tasty but honestly over priced for not including any sides. Our dinner was delicious (steak and hake) but the lack of ambiance really impacted the overall experience. Our most recent lunch was rather poor. Meatball sub was served cold in the center. We sent it back and they obviously microwaved it in lieu of making it over again. Very disappointing. We also ordered the burger which was tasty but at $22 rather disappointing in size. Again, no sides served with the sandwiches. And no fries or chips even available to order a la carte. I think Chef Josh is really talented but he might be trying to be a bit too arty with this menu. It's a hotel after all and they need more simple staples to be serving 3 meals a day plus room service. We will give them a few more months to work out the kinks but definitely work to be done. read more

You know that family member that just makes you smile every time you see their name pop up on your phone. That is peregrine. The attention to detail is beyond any other dining experience I have had in the city. The drinks were always balance, refreshing, and thoughtful. The fried chicken actually made you feel like you weren't indulging, it wasn't greasy, however was still full of flavor. We had my two little nieces with us as well (5 and 7) and they went out of their way to make them feel comfortable. The food was a 9/10, the drinks 9.5/10 and the service 10/10. I will be back, in fact I can't even wait to go back. All I can say is try and go now because as soon things get back to normal, I can see this place being completely booked out 6-8 weeks easily. And honestly where else are you going to drink the essence of Sakura Blossoms! read more

Peregrine - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had really high hopes for Peregrine as it was featured in Eater. Unfortunately there was not a ton of option at brunch time. After staring at the menu for 15 minutes I went for a scrambled egg dish and my friend went for a burger. The egg turned out fine but a bit greasy. My friend's burger, which turned out as a huge meat ball, was unfortunately not cooked at all. The restaurant did have a lovely sight in the hotel lobby so that was the highlight of the meal. read more

Peregrine served as the perfect venue for our intimate and socially distanced wedding. Joshua Lewin showed he was vested in our special day and led a team who did not disappoint. Hats off to Chef for the impromptu meeting during dinner the night prior. His engaging enthusiasm was poured into masterpiece meals. The risotto and seafood is off the charts delicious. Our guests raved about the four course meal topped with a customized dessert. We look forward to returning for future dining. read more

Loved this place. The menu is eclectic from snacks to full entrees and its all very thoughtful. The waitstaff is very helpful and know when to approach the table. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

We were very happy with brunch. Chef Josh was in the kitchen and I felt he held the same standards in hospitality and food that one would experience at Juliet. Reservations went smoothly. We had a wonderful table by the window overlooking the garden. The staff was friendly, welcoming and competent. The omelette was delectable and this compliment coming from someone who travels throughout France. The kitchen was willing to substitute the accompanying sides and the white bean salad was divine. Overall the experience did not disappoint for a newly open restaurant. I wish them the best of luck. Cannot wait to return for lunch and dinner. Marie from Boston read more

We wanted to try out this new to our neighborhood (Beacon Hill) restaurant & I booked a reservation for my partner's birthday. They were very welcoming when we arrived & gave us a private little table with a view. We started out with drinks...which were fantastic! We got the bread with tomato and Jamón Serrano. It was FANTASTIC (a must)! We each ordered a meal I got the risotto paella (which was a little bland) and he ordered the steak (really fantastic)! We REALLY wanted to get the Catalán cheesecake that they are so famous for...but they ran out. We were both really disappointed...but we will be back to try it (I never put a bad review for a place when it is something they have no control over). The bartender mixed me a special drink, which was fantastic (you tell them the flavor profile you're in the mood for & they concoct something). I was very impressed. I give it five stars for service, atmosphere, drinks, and good food. I hope we get back soon to try that cheesecake! read more

Being a huge fan of Juliet's (Sister restaurant) I was excited to try out Peregrine. The food is pretty mediocre and average for the price. The restaurant markets itself as Sardinian but I didn't see too many inspired dishes. We started off with a round of appetizers (anchovy focaccia, garlic shrimp, and duck pate). The three small pieces of bread tasted as if it was store bought with a single canned anchovy on top so I highly do not recommend ordering it. For the mains we both decided on the clam pasta which was decent but nothing to write home about. I have huge faith in this restaurant, the interior and staff are great but the food is lacking and nothing comparable to other restaurants in the area. The bar and cocktail menu are both strong high points as well! Honestly I rounded up the review since the place just opened and they have some bugs to fix, also huge supporter of paying your staff a decent wage and not tipping. read more

We live not far from the restaurant and were hoping for the best. We went there the first month it was open, and were quite disappointed with both food and service. We chalked it up to it being new, and needed to work the wrinkles out. Well, the wrinkles are still there. The service is atrocious, and the food is average at best. The floor manager is as arrogant as he is ignorant, and the prices are overly high for what you receive. It is a no-tipping restaurant, a fact that is accompanied with poor service. Prices are obviously 20+% too high (no tipping? ). Bottom line, don't bother. read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Tipping is such a BS american concept and it is refreshing to go to a place where they actually pay their employees a decent wage! The food is locally sourced from MA and NH farms and fisheries and fresh as can be. The price feels high, but it reflects that sustainable supply chain. Every single thing that we ate for our early valentines dinner was so good and they even threw in some bubbly dessert wine for after we were stuffed. read more

Amazing time with my wife for a special occasion. Thank you Peregrine team for making it so special! Will be back!

PROS: inventive food. in particular, the garlic shrimp and roasted potato appetizer. Husband loved the fois gras. CONS The ambiance. Peregrine is a bunch of tables in hotel lobby bar, which is fine if you're going there for a drink or a bar bite, but not for a full-on dinner expecting a dining room experience. The lights were turned way up. There were no candles. The waitstaff is rather clueless. Had to ask for bread and remind our waitress to ask the kitchen about a food allergy. Also, when we asked a busboy for a cocktail napkin to place under a dripping glass, he returned and essentially flung them on the table. This could be b/c all taxes and gratuities are included in the price....no real incentive for the help to go above and beyond. Lastly, our entrees hit the table literally 3 minutes after we ordered them. if you're looking for a leisurely dinner....this ain't it. read more

This restaurant is amazing!!!! Their food is always good whatever I have tried. Their Pappardelle is amazing. The sheep ricotta mixed wit the chicken and brussels sprouts were like magic together. Simply incredible. The kitchen staff should be praised for their culinary capabilities. read more

Great service. Despite having to wait for one hour because we had no reservations, the service was great serving appetizers and drinks. Unfortunately, dinner was disappointing due to the pasta and clams. It was salty and you could feel the sand of the clams... too soggy. Pricey for what we got. read more

They gotta figure it out... staff in la la land and food wasn't good ... come on guys I was excited !!!

What a delight! Thoughtful, friendly service and scrumptious food. Highly recommend sitting in the courtyard, especially on a warm summer night! We had the wine flight, melon + jamon, Catalan tomato bread, parmigiano with local honey, mushroom ragu and mixed greens. And the Catalan cheesecake did not disappoint! read more

Server was nice and friendly. Food was excellent, clean, and well priced. We loved the chicken and the blackened fish.

A very interesting and fun meal at peregrine! First of all, the waitstaff was incredible- super kind and attentive. Joshua was our server. He gave us great recommendations and very down to earth wine advice. We started with the anchovy focaccia with cultured butter, which was delicious, and the parmigiana and honey, also excellent (how could you go wrong with hunks of cheese and honey??). We had a more difficult time with the entree course- there were limited vegetarian options, but the chef was kind enough to make a pasta with seasonal vegetables in white wine sauce, which was excellent. We also ordered the tagliatelle, which was almost too salty to eat. I wonder if there were recent changes to the menu, because it came with clams and at a cheaper price than the menu claimed. Hopefully this is just a kink that will be worked out soon! For dessert, we had the mint panna cotta, which was unusual and refreshing. Overall, a very fun dining experience and we look forward to returning (probably for a special occasion, since it is not very cheap!) We love the payment model, where waitstaff are fully paid without tips. read more

Was so excited to have this place join the neighborhood but was disappointed by the ambiance. The lights are turned all the way up, the music is poorly chosen and too quiet, and the space is in desperate need of candles. It has so much potential considering other successful hotel bars- maybe the lobby is the limiting factor? Decided to just have one cocktail and bar snack before departing. Might give it another chance for breakfast, but definitely won't be coming back for dinner. read more

I ordered takeout for lunch. Traveled from Lexington to pick it up. I ordered the Sardinian sandwich, olives and cookies for the cookie jar. They put in a slice of Chocolate Pie. Everything was packed well and environmentally sound. The cookies went in the glass cookie jar, and the sandwich was delicious but the pie: oh the pie. One taste and I couldn't stop until it was safely lodged in my stomach. Go for the pie and stay for the food. It is wonderful. read more

A totally lovely space with very active energy. Attentive wait staff and all in all a very pleasant experience. I do take issue with the bartender not seeming to know how to make an extra dry Martini. Unless perhaps the waiter did not put the order in properly.and not to have Grey Goose Vodka is not a good thing.The chicken liver appetizer was as good as chicken liver pate can. be exquisite and beautifully presented. The mussel dish needed some work. Half of my mussels were not open and the broth needed some spice and salt desperately. The pappardelle dish was delightful. I think this new addition to Charles St and the neighborhood is a welcome and positive gift. The menu and food needs a bit of tweaking. Thank you read more

I love Juliet but sorry to say that this place is not ready for prime time yet. Our party of seven had 3 misses already: medium rare burger was rare, period; kale sale was overdosed with salt; fregola fra diavolo was way too sour. If you come, order farfalle which was good. At this rate this place will not last long. For context, Cultivar (also hotel affiliated) closed recently, and that place served far better food than Peregrine. read more

this restaurant and the staff are amazing- have you ever dreamt of a place where you eat and drink and everything tastes so good that you don't want to stop? This is that place Except here it is so fresh and the flavors dance on your tongue with such read more

We recently stayed at the Whitney hotel and were so excited for a staycation with room service food from Peregrine. We love Juliet and had high expectations. Those expectations, however, weren't met. To start, we got the bread plate, the antipasti for two and the jamon. The char mouse and the chicken and rice terrine were both pretty dull and really under seasoned. The terrine barely tasted like anything at all. For our mains we got the black pasta and the fried chicken and collards. The pasta, again, was extremely under seasoned... so much so I literally questioned whether I had COVID (eek!). The fried chicken, while flavored well and had a nice kick from the chili, was mostly a miss. The white meat was SUPER dry; so dry I couldn't eat it, and the fact that it was plated *on top* of the collards (which were pretty tasty) and mustardy sauce was really, poorly conceptualized. By the time the room service meal was brought up to us, the (what might have been) once crispy chicken, was now super soggy. Might have been better if the collards were in their own dish on the side, so the chicken stays crispy. For dessert we got the chocolate chess pie, which was tiny but really good. I can't say our experience was good enough for us to give it another go. And while $133 isn't a bad price for two people as a nicer spot, it was 100% not worth the quality of the food. Bummer. read more
