                        They hosted a "vegan" night. We're not vegan but sounded different and wanted to check it out. Delicious food and very comfortable and well-laid out restaurant. Not large but just the right size. Fantastic food. We will definitely be back for their regular menu which looks awesome as well.

                        Went for their first Vegan tasting menu event, and everything was excellent. Kudos to the chef for organizing this event for vegans and non-vegans alike! Shout out to the bar staff on the cocktail selection. We will be back.

                        This is by far my favorite restaurant in Cambridge. Michelin-level star food (selfishly I hope he doesn't get one because then we won't be able to get in). Fresh, seasonal food that the chef really knows how to make sing. Attended their first Vegan to Taste fixed-price dinner last night, and it was otherworldly. Better, less expensive and way less pretentious than Eleven Madison Park. And closer to my house!

                        We did a special event vegan tasting menu with wine pairings and the food was phenomenal. They even told us we could contact them ahead of future visits if we were looking for additional plant-based options. This place is a gem, a real class act and we can’t wait to go back!
