The food was exceptional and the service was excellent. I will definitely be returning! I was there on a Monday night so it wasn't particularly busy or loud, but I can imagine it may get pretty raucous on a weekend. I will absolutely recommend it to friends. More

Everything was good. But it hard to find parking. More

We've been here twice and were blown away both times. The chef makes the fixed menu each night, but is still accommodating to those with restrictions or if there is something on there you don't like. The food is incredible. All courses are amazing and the main course is always the show stopper. Highly recommend for special occasions. More

Forage is a favorite for its creative approach to food. Fresh ingredients, original combinations, welcoming ambience. They let the food speak for itself and do not over-butter and over-salt. Sunday and Tuesday night prix fix menus are good value and every bit as good as Saturday night meals. More
OpenTable Diner -
Very good, as usual. I don't need 50 characters to say that. More
OpenTable Diner -

Food was ok, nothing special. Eclectic mix on the menu. More
OpenTable Diner -
For me, the main selling points here are proximity to the (adjacent) theater and the discount for ticket-holders. The main dining room is dark & windowless. The front windows have no table near them, & there's only a long communal table by the side windows. Not to my liking. My entree was tasty & nice looking, but the $25 price of most main courses is on the high side. More

We first visited Nubar on a cold and rainy evening before a concert at the church next door, not expecting more than a typical boring hotel meal. But we were very pleasantly surprised by the warm and friendly atmosphere, the excellent food, and the great selection of wine and beer. Since then, it has become a family favorite! More
OpenTable Diner -

The service was excellent and the waitress was very accommodating to our request for separate checks. The portions were very generous so don’t be alarmed at the calorie count. I enjoyed two more meals from the leftovers I brought home! More
OpenTable Diner -
I did not like that me credit card was charged at the time I made the reservation The meal was s gift and because you charged me thusly, it spoiled the whole meal. You shouldn’t presume the person making the reservations is the person who will pay! More
OpenTable Diner -
P.F. Chang’s is pretty consistent...can’t understand why this restaurant isn’t packed! More
OpenTable Diner -
Cafe Passim is a hidden gem. Especially for music lovers, this is a small space near Harvard Square on Palmer Street. It has a rich history of presenting music - so you can be sure they have cultivated the best acts. Primarily folk-bluegrass, although there may be some other types. The food for brunch was hearty and wonderfully presented. The peppered biscuit I would come back for alone. Try the Vermont sourced bacon - it is very sweet and tender. The vibe reminds one of a small Greenwich Village folk club in the 60s that serves great local food. Nice ambiance for families or a group of friends. More

All-day cafe with casual dining at night. Family friendly environment with a kid's menu and take-out available.More
Discover Cambridge
The Pilgrims got their best recipes from Native Americans. Without their help, future chefs in Cambridge wouldn’t know beans about Boston baked beans. Chinese, Italian, and certainly Irish immigrants later added their two cents. In fact, the local cuisine is something of a hodgepodge. Peking ravioli is more common than you might think. Bostonian Ruth Wakefield invented the world’s first chocolate chip cookie. Never mind that the Toll House Inn was never a tollhouse or that it was established 108 years after the date on the sign. All is forgiven. Cambridge staples -- chowder, fish and chips, steamed clams, and maple syrup -- are as fresh and pleasing as ever. TV’s lovable barfly, Norm Peterson, perfectly embodied the spirit of a traditional Boston bar: “Women. You can’t live with them, pass the beer nuts.”
