    Omelettes were aggressively cheesy, but otherwise great service, price, and ambiance!

    We have had two different experiences at The Cambridge. The first was fantastic with good service and good food. The second, our most recent was not so good. First we had a 6:30PM reservation which we arrived for promptly. We were told there were no tables available at the time and it would be a SHORT wait. An uncomfortable half hour later we still had no seats and no one came back to us to tell us our status. We were standing by the front door the whole time. We then spotted two seats at the bar so we grabbed them. About 7:05 someone came over to us and said seats were available but we chose to stay at the bar. We were promptly served at the bar and put in our dinner order. I ordered wings and my wife ordered a veggie burger. Nothing complicated right? After waiting we were pretty hungry by now but our order was taking a long time to arrive. An HOUR later, about 8:30 PM we finally got our food. Wings, fries and a burger. My wife loved the burger but the wings were so-so. The fries were so soggy we ate less than half. So this was a very disappointing visit. We've been to Cambridge many many times and we will go back. We both loved the recent changes to the interior and menu and connection with the sine bar. Hopefully our next visit will be a positive one or it may be our last.

    I had a pretty flavorless steak frites and the fries were limp. I ordered a glass of wine for $13.00 but the pour I got was small. When I complained and ordered a second one, it was much larger. Not going back!

    No complaints. Clean place, good food, and friendly servers! There was a small hiccup with our order but it was quickly resolved without issue. Although decaf coffee isn't so popular it would've been nice to have a cup of coffee with my breakfast! No big deal.
