Blue Ribbon Brasserie in Boston's Kenmore Square Has Closed

Another dining spot from a NYC-based restaurant group has shut down.

According to a source, Blue Ribbon Brasserie in the Kenmore Square section of Boston is no longer in operation, with a sign out front saying "Blue Ribbon Brasserie is closed. We would like to thank all of our guests and staff that helped create memorable experiences here." This is the second place from Blue Ribbon Restaurants to close in Kenmore, as Pescador shut down last year and its space is now home to a location of Row 34; another spot from the restaurant group called Blue Ribbon Sushi remains open in Kenmore.

Blue Ribbon Brasserie first opened inside the Hotel Commonwealth in the latter part of 2023, taking over the space that had previously been home to Eastern Standard (that restaurant now resides in a nearby space at the Fenway Center development which sits above the Mass. Pike just outside of Kenmore Square).

Another location of Blue Ribbon Brasserie remains open in Manhattan near where West Village and SoHo meet.
