In the mid-1990s, along with East Coast Grill and Rialto, The Blue Room foretold the culinary future of Cambridge; today, all three are permanent fixtures in the city's ever-thriving yet idiosyncratic dining scene---perhaps too mellow to… Read Full Editorial
My Review by srtaylor via Citysearch on 5/13/2013
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…
pretty solid brunch spot by jujukoo via Citysearch on 5/14/2010
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…
Great brunch by Erin M via Insider Pages on 4/16/2010
I've been here for lunch and dinner and have had a great experience both times. The buffet brunch is small and well done, with lots of hot and fresh items.
One of Boston/Cambridge's finest by Chris D via Insider Pages on 3/22/2009
The blue room offers the finest in quality food, wine and service. The food is always presented well and cooked to perfection. The wine selection is compose of a great variety of reasonably priced, quality wines. And service is tops, where…
disppointing not sure what the hype is? by CanWeTawk via Citysearch on 9/21/2008
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…
Gingerita & manchego at the bar + flirty... by jaclynf via Menuism on 4/27/2008
Gingerita & manchego at the bar + flirty bartender + low-key atmo + good friends. Yum.
all-ways a winner- you can depend on it. by michael l via Insider Pages on 4/6/2008
THE BLUE ROOM is consistently a winner over many years. great atmosphere, brick and woodsy and warm and cozy. very fair prices and always very high quality. totally unpretentious and an unassailable winner. simple as that.
Horrible Service, Subpar Food by veryblue via Citysearch on 2/15/2008
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…
Very dependable American cuisine with a few pleasant surprises by phlordsfo via Citysearch on 2/15/2008
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…

Almost went for the sardines but opted instead for the chicken liver pate (nice with a coat of gelled fat...
Nice place by Benjamin S via Insider Pages on 1/28/2008
Kind of "loungy"; the cuisine varies from Mediterranean to Asian; the service is OK; the quality of the food is not AMAZING but is not terrible by any means. Would recommend if you want something low-key
extremely disappointing service and food by twomangosteens via Citysearch on 3/31/2007
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…
Acclaimed modern American cuisine and lively surroundings make this Kendall Square's destination restaurant. by Contributor via Citysearch on 12/6/2006
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…
All time favorite by bolete via Citysearch on 12/6/2006
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…
RUDE WAITRESS AND CANNOT HANDLE BUSY NIGHTS by meb4215 via Citysearch on 9/17/2006
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…
Awful experience made worse by staff and management's total lack of interest in the customer or the product by bermudaonion via Citysearch on 9/4/2006
Well, the Blue Room's reign supreme is officially over. After two semi poor experiences, gave it one more shot. Wines by the glass were dead (no cork; days old?). Long long delays every step of the way, waiting for order to be taken,…
Most horrific experience - rude and unaccomodating hostesses, terrible atmospher, esp for business meals by mthai001 via Citysearch on 8/13/2006
If you want to be jamped into tables where you practically sit on the your neighbors' laps and be part of their conversations, or vice versa, then this is the place you. My colleague and I met for dinner after work and requested a quiet…
Visit Reggie at the bar ! by ppedini via Citysearch on 7/24/2006
The Blue Room has been a haven for Boston area foodies who seek creative, beautifully prepared Mediterranean specialties and stylish comfort food in an atmosphere that seems to be all things to all people. You can be dressed up or casual,…
some good, mostly bad by tacomytaco via Citysearch on 3/16/2006
I was very dissappointed with my experience. First, we had the short rib served on polenta. The rib was fantastic, but the polenta was far too buttery to the point where it felt you were sucking down a stick of butter. I ordered the duck…
Love this place by Mary O. via Judy's Book on 8/5/2005
If you are looking for something different then the normal food The Blue Room is the place to go. We went in for the Sunday brunch which was amazing. The great thing about it is every one your party will be able to find something they…
