Peregrine

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!

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!

Owner response

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!
