Chris Patti: This place has superb pub grub - the roast chicken is my personal fave, and a great beer selection! They always have beer from Honest Weight, a western MA brewery you don't see much in Boston!
Allison D.: Go with the small plates because they are all delicious. Smile at your cute server a lot (your server will be cute - everyone who works here is attractive).
Brian Moore: Good brunch. Duck confit hash features a sous vide-poached egg. Don't be afraid of its perceived undercookedness—it's been cooked to exactly the right temperature. Yum.

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.

Terrence Beach: Wonderful selection of tequilas and mezcals. Pairs nicely with the Baja shrimp tacos or pork belly taco. Finish the night with a Torito and go home satisfied.
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.
