We were staying at the hotel and felt like having a snack at Peregrine. We were waiting for an outdoor table in the backyard. But due to miscommunication we were seated outdoor by the street. Josh, one of the staff, was very apologetic about this and offered us complementary snacks. Such a kind gesture. The outdoor seating was actually quite nice. People watching and nice weather we’re a good combo. Anyway, we ordered gazpacho and Sicilian pizza, both of which were great! Our server Lily was very attentive and friendly. When we saw the bill, it says “Peregrine is a full-wage restaurant. Gratuities, while appreciated, are absolutely not expected.” A sign of an establishment that treats their employees very well. We would definitely recommend this place!
A friend and I popped in unexpectedly after taking a long walk around the esplanade . We wanted to have some small bites and bubbles . The location was perfect , right off the path to the esplanade and the staff at the hotel entrance and restaurant were so warm and welcoming .
We decide to have a full lunch and sit in the beautiful garden . It’s a little slice of heaven in a bustling area . A small fountain , beautiful lights and comfortable seating .
We shared a bottle of bubbles recommended by the waiter and each had the romaine salads with shrimp and salmon . They were completely filling and delicious. It was a delightful experience from beginning to end !
Excellent ambiance, food, and service are some of the highlights of Peregrine, one of the best restaurants in Beacon Hill and Boston. Peregrine pleasantly combines a quiet and artistic atmosphere with an amazing—and reasonably priced—menu. I have dinned at Peregrine more than ten times and in each case the quality of the food was superb, and the meal options are always unique. In fact, they not only have a seasonal menu but also an optional fixed-course menu.
A hidden perk of dinning here is that Peregrine is a full-wage restaurant, meaning that tips are neither necessary nor expected!
We dined at Peregrine before heading to a show later that night. It was a Friday and the restaurant’s atmosphere was extremely quiet despite being half full. We didn’t mind this, but I’m pointing it out as other photos & reviewers seem to indicate a more lively atmosphere. Because of the way the hotel & restaurant are laid out, it definitely still feels like a hotel restaurant (which may or may not be the atmosphere you’re looking for!)
The food and drinks were pretty good, definitely better than a lot of hotel restaurant food. We got the mackerel + eggplant and chicken + potatoes. The eggplant was notably quite good. The chicken was well seasoned and cooked well.
Price seemed fair for downtown Boston at a slightly upscale establishment. I appreciated that tips were already built into the bill (both as a consumer and as someone who believes in staff being paid fair wages).
All in all pleased. Thanks Peregrine team!

Located in the lobby of the Whitney hotel, Peregrine is a good place to enjoy Italian food in a laid-back lounge atmosphere.
We recently came in for a weekday dinner and were surprised to find out that we were the only group at the restaurant. With the support of the team behind Juliet, we expected more popularity, and everything from the service to the food seemed pretty good.
We started off with the Parmigiano + local honey which were excellent small bites for our drinks. The quality of the imported cheese was certainly good, but it would've been better if they sliced them in smaller chunks. For the small plates, we had the Catalan tomato bread and the garlic shrimp. Both were good, but nothing stood out in particular.
The highlight of the meal was the Peregrine steak. Cooked with Kombu butter, the steak was extremely tender and flavorful. Risotto was a also nice dish to accompany with the steak, but papperdelle was bland and unremarkable. Without any sauce, the pasta was slightly dry, and we ended up leaving most of it.
We came in late with a party of six and the staff and kitchen accommodated us so warmly! The restaurant is beautiful and the Christmas trees in the courtyard are a great spot for holiday pictures. Pomodoro was great!
Tried every brunch plate and everything was great! Best French toast I've ever had.
Beautiful spot. Intimate bar. Nice staff. Good food.
I ate lunch at the bar. Alison was my bartender and she was terrific. She was helpful, personable and passionate about her work. Very professional.
I truly enjoyed my Tuscan Kale Ceasar Salad with Jamón.
I will definitely swing by again the next time I am in town.
Delicious food, great service, and beautiful ambiance and hotel decor! Our server was excellent, and the food arrived very quickly after we ordered. Although the restaurant is right next to the hotel lobby, it was fairly quiet and calm majority of the time. Food was delicious, enjoyed the kale salad for a healthy alternative! There are also vegetarian options available on the menu.

Peregrine is a charming restaurant tucked away in Back Bay, on the ground floor of the Whitney Hotel. As befits a restaurant situated inside one of the city's best boutique hotels, it exudes a sense of class - you feel like you're dining inside the well-appointed brownstone of a Boston Brahmin.
The menu features a mix of classic Italian dishes with New England ingredients. I ordered a negroni for my drink, which I thought was well done. We got the focaccia with anchovy and butter as our starter - the bread was fresh and the anchovy was incredibly savory, with the butter helping take some of the edge off.
For mains, my girlfriend got the pomodoro and I got the Peregrine steak. Her dish was simply done and delicious, with the pasta prepared al dente. I asked them to replace the broccolini in the steak with a kale salad, which our server Romy kindly accommodated. The steak was prepared well, cooked medium rare (pink but not bloody), with the sides adding a spicy kick for extra flavor.
Overall Peregrine is a low-key classy restaurant you go to when you want to have a guaranteed well done meal in a nice atmosphere.
This place was so charming! It had a very relaxed and comfortable vibe, and the staff were all SO friendly. We had Altamir (shoutout to the best waiter!) who helped us pick our wines for the wine flight and the delicious food pairings to go with it. We shared the parsnip dip, asparagus, mushrooms, catalon tomato bread and vegetable risotto.
Can’t wait to go back!
Came here for a business lunch- which it had the perfect ambiance for. Situated in the lobby of the Whitney hotel, it’s relatively small spot with roughly 10 tables and another 10 seats at the bar. Al opted for the burger, which he claims was delicious, I got the mushroom ragu which was quite tasty as well. At the waitresses recommendation I did also order the cheesecake, which delicious and came topped with sour cherries
We love Juliet in Somerville, so we were excited to try their sister restaurant, Peregrine. To start we had focaccia with anchovy and it was scrumptious; so tasty! The wines were excellent, and the steak perfectly cooked and delicious. The servers were very attentive and skilled. We will definitely dine here again when we're in the area!
A delightful restaurant with a serene courtyard in the middle of the bustling MGH area. We had dinner on Sunday and ordered the tomato bread, garlic shrimp & asparagus small plates and the risotto and mussels dishes. My favorites were the asparagus which was grilled to perfection with parmesan shavings & spices, and the mussels, which were flavorful, buttery and swimming in rich sauce.
The service was super-friendly and attentive, and because the servers and kitchen staff earn living wages, the service was divided by need instead of by tables. Always smiling and happy to help with more info and recommendations.
We went to Peregrine on the first day of their soft opening. It’s located in the newly opened The Whitney Hotel. We did expect a little of chaos since it’s their first day. It takes a little longer and patience to order drinks and food but it’s all worth it. Drinks are good and food is delicious. I guess I wasn’t even expecting good food when the wait was a little long and I was hungry! Ha! Not a good combo. We ordered the Capellini con Ricci and Hake Alla Ghiotta. Perfect combo for both entree to match each other! I can’t wait to see the full menu. We will come back and try more food!
My girlfriend and I came here for Sunday brunch and had a great experience. I had the truffle grilled cheese - easily the best grilled cheese sandwich I have had. The bread was perfectly toasted with melted cheese and truffle that oozed inside. My girlfriend had the pomodoro baked eggs. The eggs were perfectly mixed in and sat in delicate pools inside the tomato sauce. Cooked to perfection.
The ambience is very cozy. The natural light coming in through the windows from Charles street really makes you feel warm and at home. The design of the tiles and floor patterns are another added touch that puts this restaurant a notch above the rest.
The servers were extremely friendly and personable especially Mark who served us and made some suggestions that made our experience that much better.
One of the premier locations in the Boston area.
