   We celebrated our 50th anniversary at Craigie on July 31. Outdoor dining was fun, safe and enjoyable. Service was superb. And, of course, the food was extraordinary. We said to each other that we had an anniversary meal under a tent in a parking lot, across the street from a U-Haul building, and directly atop a subway line—and lived every minute of the experience

   I love that Tony Maws and team have managed to translate the essence of Craigie to this outdoor space. The vibe is different, but the food, service, and spirit are as great as they have always been.

   We dined in the outdoor tent in light rain and never even noticed the weather. Food was fabulous, service was excellent and it was a great time.

   Incredible food, ambience, and service! Felt like a funky garden in the middle of the French countryside, but right there in Central Sq.

   Loved sitting outside under the tent, even when it was raining! Our server and all the staff was amazing. Food was delicious. The tasting menu created by the chef had things I would not have tried on my own and I loved them. Looking forward to going again!

    It is so lovely to eat outside at Craigie. Lights, brick walls, lanterns- it feels so relaxed and elegant. The food was amazing - eating fresh from the farm was never so delicious, especially the salads. Very cool cocktails.

    I fully understand that the world has been very difficult lately for hospitality and I write as I would very much like to give you my support again. Our dining experience on July 7th was pretty disappointing. The night was going to be stormy but the host insisted that we be seated outside of the tent. When I asked if she had a rain plan, she said of course. When it started drizzling and no one came to assist, we were puzzled. When it started fully raining and no one came to assist, the rest of the dinner was seemingly over. Not only did we have to bring our own, now drenched plates into one of the many empty two tops under the tent but we weren't even acknowledged for doing so. "Service continued" without a word and without a refresh of the water outside of our dinner plates. Thankfully - like always - the food was delicious. There was no need for any of this to happen. We could have easily been seated under the tent. There could have been a real plan for rain. The waitstaff could have acknowledged anything and saved the rest of the experience. The outdoor dining vibe is enchanting but it is seemingly not a fully developed plan in the second Summer of following COVID restrictions.

    Craigie Next Door is always outstanding, but the crew went above and beyond on this very rainy day. The food was incredible, especially the pork and dessert. Everything was delivered miraculously dry through creative use of sheet pans. We so appreciated the efforts of the whole team to make this dining experience so enjoyable - raincoats and all! Thank you!

    Outstanding! Although it is an expensive dining experience…..it is worth it…especially knowing we are supporting a wonderful chef and staff….who are vocal and supportive of keeping restaurants open in Cambridge/Boston and the Massachusetts hospitality scene thriving.

    Highly recommend the Craigie Burger experience on Sunday. Casual vibe, stellar service, fantastic food and drink. The burger was cooked perfectly and came with a side of homemade pickles, coleslaw, and sweet potato salad (mimicking your favorite old school potato salad but more colorful and a touch sweet due to the different potato). Each component of the burger was spot-on, from the melty cheddar and homemade mace ketchup, to the crisp green piece of bibb lettuce and the soft but sturdy sesame bun. The inclusion of dessert was a fun surprise too! Vanilla bean labne cheesecake with rhubarb sauce and granola, and pistachio cake with soaked cherries and yogurt. Special shoutout to Nick, the bartender, who answered all of our drink questions and made us feel like special guests with a couple of small tastes of his recent mixology experiments. Overall 11/10, and this whole craigie nextdoor/bar outside thing should be a permanent warm-weather fixture in non-covid times because it’s just really special.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun but it was really overpriced even for how tasty it was. We paid over $75 per person for some toast with spreads, vegies, ribs, sausages, and rice pudding. And again, it was yummy.

    The casual atmosphere and delicious grilled foods make Craigie Next Door a great place for summer dining. Sundays are especially fun for an outing with friends our family, including kids. Don't miss the Craigie burger, available on Sundays, seemingly without limit. It still is the best in the Boston area.
