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.

Skip the lamb – I was promptly seated even though the restaurant was near capacity. Choice of entrees was limited and had some unusual sides. The wine list was extensive and had many good wines priced in the twenties. The scallop appetiser was excellent, the wild boar rillette passable. We waited another 25 minutes for the main courses...a cold rack of lamb atop a mound of dry buck wheat 'salad' and dates. Terrible, although recommended by the server. I wouldn't go back.

Never been disappointed! – Very good and reasonably priced. The only draw back is parking.

Never again – I went to this restaurant with my job and thank god they paid! I did not like it one bit. The waitress was forgetful and the drinks were bad! They brought out everyones food except mine and another co-worker and we waited for about 15 minutes before our food finally arrived. Everyone else had already finished. The food was almost too gourmet to even enjoy and it seemed as though the chef spent more time on presentation than actually preparing food that was tasty. I would have much rather gone to a hole in the w... read more

great find – I've been going to MIT for four years, and I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. The food is great, the ambience is pretty cool (esp. the paintings on the wall), and the service was top notch. Not only did they not rush us out, the waitress even asked us if we were in a rush to catch a movie or something--if we were, she could speed up the service. We told her we didn't have any after plans for after dinner, and the rest of the meal was nice and leisurely. Try this place out! Definitely one of the ... read more

Great brunch! – I recently went to the Blue Room for brunch and the food was excellent. The brunch is served buffet-style. I must say this is not your typical brunch place with eggs and home fries. They serve the "fancy" brunch foods. You'll find asaparagus, salmon, funky refreshing salads, etc. Everything is fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend going there. It is on the pricey end so be prepared to drop $20. Oh and by the way, definitely make a reservation! Brunch is reservation only.

Delicious! – This has been a favorite of mine for years and years. The food is always great and the wine list is always accomodating to any occasion. It's a sure bet.

Wonderful – I have to say, we went here with a little apprehension after reading some of the other reviews. However, our experience couldn't be more to the contrary of the other postings. We were seated immediately, our waiter had the most wonderful suggestions and was incredibly intelligible about how the dishes were prepared and what wine to pair with them, etc. We sat outside on the patio and had lovely ambience, excellent service and an absolutely delicious meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Perhaps we ha... read more
