    The food (once it arrived) was exceptional. The service was terribly lacking - waitress seemed like she wanted to be anywhere but there. The restaurant also seemed to have nothing non-alcoholic except for water which was services at room temperature with no ice and never refilled. We got there early hoping for a quick dinner. Despite many tables being available in the front by the windows we were seated in the back near the kitchen which was loud and very dark. Every single table including ours needed to use flashlights to see the menu. Despite getting there early and ordering right away, we watched as almost a dozen tables who arrived after us, were served before us. Incredibly frustrating. In fact, there were several tables who were seated after us who were served and finished their meals before we were even served. It was not until we told the waitress that we were prepared to leave and go elsewhere that our meals magically arrived. In sum, if you want a very good meal and you are will to accept eating in the dark and have no where to go after eating, then this restaurant is worth trying for the food. If not, lots of other options in the area.

    An excellent meal. The food was exceptional. We tried about 6 dishes and every one was spectacular. Flavors were wonderful. Ambience is very nice and friendly. One of our party is gluten free and the waitress was wonderful in walking us through the menu with this in mind. All of the dishes we ordered were gluten free! We are now living in Cambridge and we will be regulars.
