"The New York-based eatery from chefs and brothers Eric and Bruce Bromberg had hoped to fill the Hotel Commonwealth space left empty when Eastern Standard, a similar but local concept, closed during the pandemic following lease disputes with its landlord Urban Meritage. Opening in 2023, Blue Ribbon also promised Bostonians and Kenmore Square visitors something that's hard to find in the city: late-night food offered not quite as late as 4 a.m. in New York, but instead 1 a.m."
"A spokesperson for Blue Ribbon Brasserie confirmed that the restaurant closed for good on that same day because of the "challenges and dynamics of the restaurant industry." Blue Ribbon Brasserie also shortened its night hours, at one point only being open until 11 p.m. The only Blue Ribbon Restaurants property now left in Boston is Blue Ribbon Sushi, one of several locations the group has opened across the country."
Blue Ribbon Brasserie in Kenmore Square closed permanently after nearly two years, citing the "challenges and dynamics of the restaurant industry." The New York-based restaurant from chefs Eric and Bruce Bromberg opened in 2023 in the Hotel Commonwealth space formerly occupied by Eastern Standard. The brasserie offered late-night service until about 1 a.m. and a broad menu including steak frites, escargot, and a fried chicken dinner. The Brombergs also closed Pescador in Kenmore Square during the same period. Blue Ribbon shortened its night hours at times, and Blue Ribbon Sushi remains the only Boston location; the group plans to try to relocate brasserie staff.
