American Restaurant · 45 tips and reviews
Matthew Spector: Outstanding addition to Central Square. Get the monkfish biryani and the little gems salad. Clam toast and the tuna tartare are stellar.
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.

Michael Breen: Great chocolate chip cookies, and iced coffee.
Charlotte L: MOCHA SLIDE. You won't regret it! The cakes are really good too and they do gluten-free scones.
Baratunde: Although the prices seem reasonable, you need to factor in the cost of a Mac laptop, which is required if you want to sit at any of the tables

Seafood Restaurant · North Cambridge · 65 tips and reviews
Seth Cargiuolo: Oysters, lobsters and the "be good to yourself" fish specials are always awesome. Family favorite for years.
BostonTweet: Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
Boston.com: Seafood lovers will love this beachy riff on Americana-a “seafood” dog that’s got all the right stuff, including lobster meat mixed with a shrimp mousse. The dipping mayo gives it that kick of summer. Read more.
