Kelly Ren: Get the ubiquitous kale salad, 60 degree egg, and pork belly.
Whitney Fishman: Get the pork belly and the popcorn pancakes.
Chris E: All the cocktails are excellent. We also sampled at least half the menu. Pork belly, pumpkin salad (surprisingly), pork shoulder, burrata crostino were standouts.

Jeanette Mukai: $60 prix fixe menu lets you try 4 different pintxos, pork belly bao, and Guchi's midnight ramen. On top of that, try the squid ink oyster bao. Cocktail list is also great.
Adam Sigel: Fun mix of Spanish and Japanese tapas. Oxtail croquetas, pork belly bao, and "childhood" rice all excellent.

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.
Ronald Thompson: Great new venue for anal shows, and a small but exclusive collection of whiskies and bourbon in the main bar. I'd go back again for sure!
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.

Philippe Schenk: Try the lamb (if you like lamb) it's perfectly cooked and so nicely prepared.
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.

The Ad Club: A favorite "dive" in Cambridge. Kitchen is open late, food is great, but make sure you get there early if they have a favorite beer on tap. Best kegs get kicked early.
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.
BostonTweet: 50 craft beers on tap and the Lord Hobo kitchen stays open until 1:30am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
