Peregrine

Dining method: Dine-inItem(s) ordered: Floral Fizz, Gin + Petals, Rosemary potatoesService: Wonderful, kind servers. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menuValue: For a beautiful, trendy spot, the prices were reasonable.The Review: We were just looking for a spot to wind down with a drink and we got more than we could've asked for! Peregrine is a lovely spot tucked away in the West End/Beacon Hill, inside the Whitney Hotel. There were a ton of gluten-free options, and I'm sure for other dietary needs as well. We would've gotten dinner here, if we didn't have reservations elsewhere! Will definitely be back, at the very least for more drinks!

We came here on Friday night and This is an open restaurant in Lobby of Whitney Hotel .Cute vibe and staff was very nice but seemed new. Selection of food was limited but we ordered the kale Caesar and it was not dressed that well . The cheese with honey was ok but it was basically cut up cubes with honey --- the waiter was going in and in about this cheese The pastas were all okay and nothing spectacular . Drinks were ok as well. Cheesecake dessert was good. The prices did not seem consistent with quality and limited selection, definitely not returning .

The experience was very disappointing. I went in for an early morning meal and they weren't at all ready. I was able to sit and wait at the lounge area but one could clearly see that no one was in a rush. Not that one shouldn't do things correctly and safely but slow would be an understatement. The waiter we had was flat affected, cold, and despite the turtle like movements during set up, decided that my group had to order immediately after sitting down and JUST getting menus. He checked on us probably about once and didn't make an effort to hide the fact that he was just standing at the bar area, with his back to us, on his phone for the majority of the time, despite having few other customers. Over all staffing was not great. Minimal pleasantries, didn't feel welcoming at all, no offers for help, little check ins etc.Food: It was decent. But breakfast food isn't particularly hard is it? I will note that their sourdough toast looked amazing and was toasted particularly well. So...the bread worked out I guess. the prices were a steal...for them. 18 dollars for scrambled eggs? 10 dollars for yogurt? 4 dollars for a small glass of juice? Yikes. The quality of the ingredients were fine, certainly, but I guess you are paying more for the "privilege" of dining there. So if you got money to burn, eat here. get some tiny portions for a large price. Business practice: They charge a 7% kitchen staff fee. To add insult to injury, instead of taking ownership of the fact that they refuse to pay their workers a rightful wage, they blame it on the fact that Massachusetts doesn't allow tips to go to kitchen staff. They literally write that on the menu. So of course, they shift it onto the consumer. I have never seen a kitchen fee that high in any other restaurant. It is a bit insane. Hey, since they charge like $8 an egg, you'd think they could afford to increase wages a bit more. Total rip off.I cannot in good conscious recommend coming here for food, unless it was the only place open. With the overpriced food, disgruntled and unprofessional staff, and unnecessary fees, it is simply not worth it. There are plenty of nice restaurants in the surrounding area, try one of those instead.

Complimentary bites of olives & cheese for the hotel guests is a nice touch. The staff were so welcoming, especially our bartender Diego. We kicked off our evening with a flight of red wine and a faux Mai Tai. Their roasted chestnuts, although not on an open fire, were a yummy snack. The papperdelle dish with tender chicken, ricotta & brussel sprouts was delicious & flavorful. We ended our evening with a basque style creamy cheesecake that paired well with a decaf cappuccino. After dinner we stepped into their courtyard adorned with a Christmas tree, fire pit, seating w/throw pillows & twinkling lights.

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!

Great food and the ambiance was nice. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and gave good recommendations. Try the duck leg confit.

A great restaurant in the Whitney hotel, with a gorgeous interior design. Love their bar aesthetic and even though it was a smaller restaurant, I was impressed by the quality and variety in their menu. I had the pappardelle which featured these super wide noodles, tender chicken, and creamy ricotta. This also seems like a perfect place for business travelers and young professionals looking for a quick bite!

Lovely place. Great service. Awesome food! Will definitely go back! The decor was lovely too

Lovely sitting space. Dessert good. Didn't eat anything else! Very quiet and comfortable.

oof -- I hate leaving bad reviews, but I am writing this as a cry for help from management! this restaurant has great potential in a great hotel and location. every single server I talked to was lovely and friendly. but they are DESPERATELY understaffed and unsupported by the kitchen. we waited a long time to order in the first place, a long time for our food, and they only delivered our appetizer after we finished our mains. my main concern is that the food was BAD. every dish was dry, flavorless, and the pappardelle "with chicken" included a few strands of shredded chicken. the prices are laughable for this low quality. I read reviews before we came here and thought "hey, maybe they're wrong!" no. it is genuinely bad. the staff was wonderful, and I am BEGGING management to reevaluate. you can turn it around, but for now, YIKES!
