About this business
The Blue Room is simple casual comfort. Housed in a renovated woven hose factory, this nationally acclaimed restaurant is composed of bare wood beams, brick and granite walls, cozy suede banquettes, soft lighting and zinc-topped tables. Chef Robert Grant puts his wood-burning grill to work creating dishes with influences from his time spent cooking his way through Italy, Spain and France using locally-sourced ingredients and techniques gleaned from his stints with renowned chefs Thomas Keller + Barbara Lynch. Along with the ... read more

Horrendously overpriced! I will never return! I have been here before for brunch and enjoyed it. I took my wife, mother, father and 2 kids there for Mother's Day and got the shock of my life. The total bill for the 6 of us with no drinks (a small juice for each of the kids) was close to $300! They had jacked up the price by $13 for their regular Sunday brunch to exploit Mother's Day. They never told me at the time of the reservation, or confirmation. They only time that I found out was when we were seated and the waitress lo... read more
pretty solid brunch spot – The Blue Room is a hit or miss with me when it comes to brunch. The food can be fantastic, but it wholly depends on the replenishment of the supply as well as how many other guests are there. Too many brunch guests and you may not get to try a helping of whatever is on their rotating menu, and too few guests may leave you with lukewarm food. But when all the conditions are met, Blue Room does what it's known for best - a fantastic rotating menu made with local, unique ingredients.
disppointing not sure what the hype is? – We had three app's. The "signature" cheese plate. Sadly we were looking for the cheese on the plate, not nearly as "special" as the server described it. The Lobster soup was tepid. The organic greens fortunately were fine. Entrees; the Tilapia was very salty, the duck was very good, the pasta special (being kind) uneventful and bland. The dessert, a blueberry cobbler was dry and shouldn't have been served to anyone but a homeless person, the chocolate eclairs were yummy. The service ... read more
Horrible Service, Subpar Food – We had a reservation to the Blue Room for this first time on Friday. When we arrived we were seated at a table (which was not even close to level) right in the path of all the waiter traffic even though other tables were open. The waitress mumbled as we ordered our Sangria "22", which was a watered down version of what you would get at the local dive. We were pleased with the appetizers, but when our entrees arrived, I could not even take a second bite of the rubbery cod. Additionally, our ent... read more
Very dependable American cuisine with a few pleasant surprises – I definitely would recommend the Blue Room and would go back, though it's not at the absolute top of my list due to a few inconsistencies in our night. The dining room is quite pleasant, but the awkward layout means there are a lot of bad tables... from booths that make for strange pairings of couples who don't know each other within close proximity and facing each other, to tables near the very cold front door and others near the multiple kitchen and bar entra... read more
extremely disappointing service and food – We went to the Blue Room for the first time on a busy Saturday night after hearing some good reviews about the restaurant. However, we were seated right by the door, less than a foot away from the people next to us and behind us. The server was impersonal and not friendly at all, acting as if we were an additional burden to him - he told us the food would take up to 40 minutes. The tuna was ok, but somewhat cold with some undercooked rice. The mahi mahi was cold and undercooked insi... read more
All time favorite – I have been going to the Blue Room for the past 6 years that I have lived in Boston and have never been disappointed. The food is a sure thing - always just really solid. The room is cozy and still fun (not stuffy). It is an all occasion restaurant - I have been there with colleagues, for family celebrations and on a sleepy Sunday after the movies. In a city filled with mediocrity I always find myself returning here rather than risking it. Even after I have tried some of the new places I always find mysel... read more
Acclaimed modern American cuisine and lively surroundings make this Kendall Square's destination restaurant. – The Scene The Blue Room's award-winning cuisine has long been a favorite among local foodies and eager tourists. But the restaurant's atmosphere--loads of local art, a bustling open kitchen and an upbeat, three-sided bar--is worth the trip alone. The famously colorful Sunday brunch is all the more enjoyable when the weather allows diners to enjoy the outdoor patio. Attentive servers are pleased to discuss the menu's... read more
RUDE WAITRESS AND CANNOT HANDLE BUSY NIGHTS – Had never been to Blue Room before, we showed up a bit early for our reservation, but they accomadated which was very nice. Then we waited for about fifteen minutes to even see a waitress, who when she showed up asked, "Wanna drink?" We asked one question and when she realized we were a bit torn over what to order, promptly walked away and did not return until we asked a bus girl to go get her. When we ordered, she announced, "ITs gonna be at leat 35 minutes for your food." Well,... read more
