Dining at Ramsay’s Kitchen Boston – Worth the Hype?

📚✨ From Boston Public Library Magic to Gordon Ramsay’s Petite Wellington – A Perfect Boston Day Out!

When people ask me about my favorite spot in Boston, I always say: “The Boston Public Library!”
It’s not just a library—it’s a time-traveling experience! One side looks like a scene straight out of Harry Potter, and the other is modern, sleek, and super comfy.

While it’s a top tourist attraction, it’s also a beloved hangout spot for locals like me. Since it’s right on my way home from class, I love popping in for a little study session or just to soak in the cozy, magical vibes.

But this day was extra special—because my husband got off work early, and we made it a mini date day! We met up at the library and then headed out for a much-awaited meal just a few steps away…

📍 Ramsay’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay – Boston

774 Boylston St, Back Bay, Boston, MA

Just 2–3 minutes from the Boston Public Library and right near Newbury Street, Ramsay’s Kitchen sits inside a hotel in Back Bay—super easy to get to, and even easier to love.

I’ve walked by it so many times thinking, “One day…” And that day finally came!

🥂 The Vibe

Although it carries the Gordon Ramsay name, the vibe is more casual-chic than intimidating.
It’s perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner, with friendly service and cozy seating. Of course, we snagged a table by the window—because we’re predictable like that. 😌

🍻 What We Ordered:

🟡 603 IPA (Local Boston Beer)
Tasty, but whoa—strong! A few sips in, and I was already dizzy. (Lightweight life 😅)

🟡 Roasted Bone Marrow
My husband’s favorite, not mine. I tried it again (for love), but it’s still too rich and oily for me. I stuck to the baguette with jam and butter. No regrets.

🟡 Filet Mignon (8oz)
We ordered it medium-well, but it came out well-done. The flavors were great, especially the sauce and tomato, but the steak was a bit tough. Lesson learned: next time, be specific with the doneness!

🟡 Triple Cooked Chips
Husband rule: fries are a must. These were crispy, salty, and paired perfectly with beer. Not groundbreaking, but deeply satisfying.

🥩 Petite Beef Wellington – The Star of the Show

Let’s be real—this is why we came.
Ever since my husband discovered Gordon Ramsay’s YouTube channel, he’s been dreaming about the famous Beef Wellington.

And finally… dream fulfilled!

The verdict? Really good.
The pastry was buttery and crisp, and the mashed potatoes on the side were a lovely touch.
The beef was a little underdone for my taste, but hey—that’s how the pros roll.

If you’re even a little bit curious about Gordon Ramsay’s food—this is the dish to try.

💵 The Cost

Two people, a full meal, drinks, and great service—all for $185.
In this economy? Honestly, that’s a win.

Eating out has definitely gotten pricier lately, but we’re making it a little goal to treat ourselves once a week—to explore Boston, try new spots, and celebrate the little things.

🧡 Final Thoughts

If you’re ever in Boston, especially around Back Bay or Newbury Street, I highly recommend spending a dreamy afternoon at the Boston Public Library, followed by a delicious meal at Ramsay’s Kitchen.

It’s the perfect combo of culture + comfort food—and a great way to fall in love with the city all over again. ✨
