Paba B: Crab cake sandwich is exceellent. Nice selection of beers.

Kate w: Scallop pork belly, seared salmon, fried oyster, crab cake, and the best and unbeatable caesar salad ever!

New American Restaurant · Mid-Cambridge · 29 tips and reviews
Janice Saez: Brought out of towners for local seafood... "Coastal" theme but, king crab? Sea bass? Caviar? Trout? "Whitefish"? I assumed they were laughing at me for recommending but, they're laughing at you.
Steve Fadden: Food and drink are delicious, but portions are basically tapas-sized, so you can fill up on the crab fries and still have room for dessert. ;)
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.

Enrico S: Great seafood. Try the Brazilian crab cake and the Moqueca, really good. No AMEX.
Jill Santiago: Most authentic and delicious Brazilian restaurant in the area! I don't love fish, but I love the muqueca. Delicious fried plantains, caipirinhas (cachaça, sugar and limes), fried yucca. Great service!
Alex Kasemir: Any of the muquecas are good. Tried a bunch and they are very tasty. These are basically stews

Chinese Restaurant · North Cambridge · 25 tips and reviews
Zac Chance: Good, well-made Chinese food. Courteous waitstaff and very fast preparation for takeout. Recommend the Yu Hsiang beef, crab rangoon, General Gau's chicken, and egg rolls.
Graham Webster: Take home some frozen pork and leek dumplings to boil up for yourself later. Cheap and hand-made!
Serious Eats: It's all about dumplings here—if you can't get enough at the restaurant, bring a frozen bag of 50 home.
Gloria Chin: Get the crabmeat & avocado salad!
Rich Sarchioni: Been coming here for years, the food is great, the staff is very accommodating/pleasant, great drinks, and still rated as one of the best sushi places around. If you love sushi, try the boat w friends
XY N: Free meal on your birthday.

New American Restaurant · Inman Square · 63 tips and reviews
Jose Castro: Oysters and Crab Gnocchi
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.
