Reserve: Creatively cupped in a grapefruit, The Donkey Punch at Little Donkey in Boston is made with Cimarron reposado tequila, cassis, lime and agave for a punch of citrus and a kick of sweetness. Read more.
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.

GQ Magazine: Most fantastic flavor: Pink- Grapefruit sorbet. Concentrated, tangy, unusually creamy.
Yucca Frita: Mint julep and grapefruit sorbet
M3t47 G34r: Best ice cream in the US for a reason. Has a creamy chewiness to it (in a good way). Flavors are amazing. Be adventurous. Try: B^3, Earl gray, Vienna finger, peanut butter cookie, and Butterfinger.
m j: amazing exotic baked goods. best spinach felafel ever. grapefruit curd is one of the best things I have ever eaten, anywhere.
Rich Acosta: It's worth completely leaving your comfort zone here, everything is great. If you're less adventurous start with warm buttered humus or shakshuka for breakfast. Moroccan donuts are NOT to be missed.

Leah Varney: Go on Sunday for brunch. It's catching on fast as it used to be my little secret. It's getting busier these days. I always get the bisquits and gravy. It is to DIE for! Grapefruit mimosa -also yum
Dan Roberts: Best beer bar in Cambridge. Amazing selection and all that, but really the reason to come here is that the food is excellent. Perfect truffle fries and also get the chicken lollipops.
Boston.com: There are 40 rotating taps, and, boy, do they rotate, with great rare beers. The bottle list is just as much of a treasure trove. The wait staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. Read more.

New American Restaurant · Inman Square · 63 tips and reviews
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.

Stephen Hau: Table-side guacamole is a must.
Jake Smith: The Stuffed Peppers left a bit to be desired, but the table side guacamole and enchiladas were great Mexican fare.

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.
