Margaret !: Great cross section of both mundane necessities and delightful treats. Get some fresh mozzarella, try some new cheese recommendations by the staff, fresh fish from the counter, local vegs.
Lindsay D'Andrea: Sandwiches worth the walk outside of Davis square. Interesting liquor selection in the back.
Leah Rodriguez: They have a really great beer selection now. Check it out!

Lisa Chartier: Nifty atmosphere in a place I thought shut down awhile back. Great menu & fresh seafood! The grilled mahi mahi with tropical salsa & jasmine rice was scrumptious, as well as the oyster bar ceviche. Read more.
Luna La Creme: Pretty awesome. Super fresh seafood. Can't go wrong with much though the breaded clam was a little meh
Enryqwe Lopes: If you love the seafood, here is a must, definitely the best menu option is the lobster. Start with a shrimp boiled in beer 👌😋

Max: Fresh seafood dishes and most dishes sized nicely for sharing. Highly effective use of crunchy garlic.
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!
Sharalee Field: Definitely try the Popsicles from @SolunaGrdnFarm, and the fresh fish and lobster meat from @C&CLobster!
Harvard University: Local farmers and vendors arrive June-October with their fresh and local produce and products. Grab some blueberries and sit by the fountain for a great afternoon break! Tuesdays, 12:30 pm -6 pm Read more.
Drew Kaplan: Looking for some yummy fresh breads? Check out When Pigs Fly's stand. Their bread is also certified as kosher!

Derek C: Amazing signature creations: nigiri with creative flavors. The sushi dinner and teriyaki (salmon / swordfish / chicken) bento boxes are also trusty standbys. Very fresh fish!!!
Jessica Chow: THIS PLACE. Anything as simple as a salmon avocado roll is incredible. The ocean trout sashimi melts in your mouth, the seared hamachi maki is extremely flavorful, and the saba oshi-zushi is a must.
Nash Overstreet: Get the Omakase.

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.

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.

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.
MJ Lee: The Lion Head is their specialty. Instead of deep fried in step one, they make it similar to dumpling fillings. Any way it's good.
