Not served because our large group "had enough". Asked politely who they meant, but was not given an answer. Later had my water glass knocked out of my hand by an employee. Funny thing is that I was not drinking there and was ready to head out with whoever was too drunk. First time here after 4 years of living nearby, will not be back — many better options in the area.

Great lively vibe. Forward thinking menu (Sausage Bomb was a hit with our group). Cocktails could be a little stronger...but bear list is very good.

Neat little bar space near Kendall Square offering some unique and flavorful food options. Lots of mixed drinks and a small assortment of beers to choose from. The dining room is very open so it can get a little noisey inside at times.

A bit pricy but our server (Audrey?) was fantastic and the food was genuinely interesting. We ordered the fries that come with a big marrow bone on top for dipping. Interesting concept and a definite first for me. I also loved the cider that I ordered there. They pour samples so you're sure you like what you're ordering, which makes the slightly higher process easier to take.

Awesome Mexican food with a very nice drink selection. It got pretty busy on a Friday night where they reached capacity and couldn't let anyone in which wasn't great. Overall a fun atmosphere.

The service was amazing, everyone is so nice! And the food is undeniably delicious. The prices are so reasonable as well, I must recommend this place to anyone. Tied for my favorite spot in Cambridge!

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! I found it unexpectedly, while walking by to go to another restaurant. So glad I changed my mind and tried this place instead. I knew when I ordered fries with marrow and they came out with a halved bone on top that I was in for a treat! The buffalo plantains were also a highlight. Great drink options, friendly staff, and interesting/delicious food. They also allowed my dog on the patio and brought him water.

Sizable portions, tasty food (especially the fries and the chicken wings), and good drinks (would recommend the seasonal spiked cider). Definitely a nice spot!

The first place we think about when we have a night off. The food and team here are the best and the cocktails are perfection---seriously. Definitely a 'must visit' in Cambridge.

This place is fantastic! Manages to both be in plain view and hidden at the same time. Retro-futuristic decorations. The food is amazing, tried a wide range and everything was seasoned well and so inventive. You have to get the buffalo sauce plantains, a little bit life changing. Hot dog was high quality. Drinks were on point.

What a great dining experience. Staff is fantastic. Really above and beyond, especially compared to other places in the area. Food is spot on, as are the cocktails and beer list.

Overpriced. Narrow menu. Downscale food with upscale prices. Too loud. We could not hear our waitress and she could not hear us.
