    Great place to sit outside with friends and drink beer and have a bite. The food is not so special, but the place to hang with friends is great. The outside area is delightful. Some of the beers are quite good.

    Great food. Good service. Good beer. I had the poke bowl, which was good, but then I had a bite of my son’s margherita pizza and really wished I’d ordered it. The pizza was awesome.

    Terrible service. Took over 30 minutes to get our beers and then they never came back to ask if we wanted another. The food was fine but nothing to rave about. The beer was meh. I would not recommend.

    Solid place for larger groups after work. Food has improved significantly over the years. Outdoor space is mostly covered and has heaters. Outdoor seating is quieter than indoor. Have had three after work dinner/drinks here with 10+ people here and it’s a good go-to. Would recommend and go back.

    Great Kendall Square location for dinner after a good movie right around the corner. Fine beer selection. Roasted brussels were delish as was calamari. We loved the burger and white bean bowl. Lots of customer energy on a Saturday night. We would definitely go again.

    I’ve been here before and it was awesome. Second time with a group of 6 we made a Rez for 7:30 on here. Once in. Seated, and after ordering drinks and apps was told kitchen closes at 8. Quickly ordered out items and was told we had to order desert as well. Sure. Well, dessert arrived with dinner. One was I cream based and a soggy mess by the time we got to it. So while the food was pretty good it was rushed.

    A family get-together. We wanted a variety of beers and good food. We got it all. They have many beers to select, and most can be had as flights. The beer is of very high quality. The food was shared among the family, including appetizers and mains, and everyone was happy. Notable were the eggplant fries, calamari and brussels sprouts. It is not cheap, but parking is very convenient across the street in the Kendall Sq Garage. There is on-street parking if you are very lucky. The CBC is located a short distance from the T stop. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time!

    Food is ok. Service was great. A fun place to meet up with friends as long as your expectations are not high. It’s very noisy (even when the restaurant is not full) so it is hard to talk.

    Really good experience. Our party of 5 was given a spacious table by city standards (we were given a table for 6 rather than squeezed into a table for 4). Enough room between tables to feel like your conversation was private. Definitely loud, so you had to speak at a higher volume but not loud in a way that makes you brain tired or caused the kids to cover their ears. Server and host were very nice and friendly, helpful with questions about the menu. Food was solid/good but not amazing. Not for a foodie but pretty much anyone else should be satisfied. My salmon was nicely cooked - cooked through but very juicy with a nice flavorful crisp on the outside. Great large windows that were opened for ventilation. I was appreciative of the extra ventilation leading into my family’s holiday season. Temperature inside was comfortable even with open windows. I would go there with my family again.
