We had a lovely experience at Season to Taste. We ordered the crispy ribs and crispy fluke. Both were excellent. There was also a very friendly vibe. We’ll be back.

Everyone in our party of four loved every morsel of food. Everything is fresh, sourced locally, and prepared with a magical mix of seasonings. Our server was attentive and delightful. We highly, highly recommend Season To Taste, and can't wait to return.

Delicious, creative food. Staff was pleasant, but seemed insufficient for the number of guests. I’d definitely recommend it.

Chef Sam Day & his team provided an incredible experience. Using locally sourced ingredients, they put together masterpieces that combined flavors I would've never thought of putting together. The fun part is seeing the work done behind the scenes and having Chef explain the details in their art. Menu changes seasonally so the food never gets old. Well done team!

Everything is about average. We did the chef table experience. Each dish had too much mixed of ingredients that ended up nothing stand out to make it a wow. Cocktail is also just so so, very watered down by the amount of ice. Would not visit again given there are so much great options in Cambridge Boston area.
