Tyler Murphy: The food quality here is impeccable...you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose! I highly recommend going with the wine pairing option for $40 -- it is definitely worth it!
Joey Cohen: Honestly, everything.
La La: The menu changes quite often, so check before you go. It’s a fixed menu with 2 options for each course. I’ve been a few times now and it is always delicious.

Michael Troiano: This is the place place to eat in the Boston Metro region, period. Special, in every way. The menu is fantastic, and the specials always are.
Neel Hajare: Lamb was fantastic. Gnocchi and mesclun salad were very good. Ribs were the least impressive.
Doc Searls: I've lived and worked around here since 2006, and this one was the best meal I've had in that time. Totally inventive. And with outstanding service too. Just great. Enjoy.

Matthew Shannon: Excellent Experience! Walked in with no reservation and sat in the patio. Fast and friendly service. Seafood looked so good, we ordered multiple starters and raw bar picks for our whole meal.
Constantin W: Very nice ambiance, great oyster selection and non-pricey entrees!
Rebecca M: If you like your lobster rolls with TONS of meat and not a lot of mayo—this is it!

Jesse T: The smoked whitefish pizza is a delicious affront to traditional Italian food. With fried capers, mascarpone, dill, and an everything-bagel crust, it's easy to forget that you're eating a pizza.
Rheya Shano: Really really great! Cool ambiance, great service, and terrific food, all of the dishes we tried were great examples of creative combinations that work out beautifully!
Brooke Weimar: Oysters, cinnamon sugar donuts, and cocktails !

Secret Boston: Coolest music vibe in town, man. 60s
The Feast: Legendary folk joint. A slightly older crowd holds court here most nights, but also expect to see plenty of music-nerds.
Ingrid Hartman: Buy tickets early so you can sit up in front. Amazingly intimate venue, nothing quite like it.

Chrissy Boyles: always amazing food and wine - the mushroom pappardelle is absolutely velvety, but the again we’ve never had a bad meal here
Eric Andersen: The Pappardelle pasta here is excellent
Laura Wong: Very quaint and small restaurant, but very cozy. Reservations recommended, and they are not open on Sundays. Honestly nothing special or outstanding.

Joshua Santora: I love the lamb skewers, grilled octopus, the Carne and Abruzzi pizza (always add some prosciutto, it's delicious), the Wild Boar Ragu is phenomenal. If there's a Bolognese on the specials GET IT.
Rich Sarchioni: Carbonara and espresso martini are excellent!! All ingredients are super fresh
Cristiano Talluto: Pizza is awesome

New American Restaurant · Inman Square · 21 tips and reviews
Yu-Mei: Beef heart anticuchos, homemade burrata and whatever the specials are. Table seating is better than the cramped place settings at the bar at the open kitchen. Or head to the cozy bar alcove behind.
Adam Sigel: Great place to get a glass or two of wine and try a couple small plates. We had savory vidalia onion churros last time. It’s like an onion ring only better in every way.
Adrienne Petrino: Go for the Caribbean brunch!

Dan Roberts: My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream. The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.

Matt Opsahl: The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.
Max: Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.
Sofia Papastamelos: If you like small plates and different cuisines this is a great place for you. Always pretty crowded and food is great. Plates will sometimes rotate depending on the season.

Cole Kennedy: Super cool vibe. Like, seriously good design. So much better than most rock clubs. Also a killer lineup of music (and beers).
Boston.com: Drink a Kentucky Luau: bourbon with hints of cinnamon, pineapple, and best of all, a floral scent that will leave you craving for more. Try it on the new roof deck. Read more.
Thrillist: After taking down some heavenly deviled eggs with crispy bacon bits and a trio of pastrami'd pork belly sliders, you'll want to take matters into your own hands with the Sinclair Burger. Read more.
