The drinks and ambiance are incredible…what a unique concept, there is nothing else like it! So much fun, and the food…AMAZING. I’ll never stop dreaming of the ahi tuna bowl and those duck fat fries. Absolutely a CAN’T MISS spot in downtown Cambridge.

We had both food and drinks. The crab fried rice, Seared Tuna and Duck Fat fries were excellent. Specialty drinks were good but not many options without rum. Beers were reasonably priced. Service was excellent and the experience was unique. We will be back.

Food is great. Such a great seafood selection. A couple options if you don’t like seafood. So far the crab fried rice is my top favorite. The raw oysters are outstanding. The ahi Tuna that my daughter got was awesome also. If you like PEI mussels you can’t go wrong. Everyone at the table got a different item and we all shared. Service was great each time we have been. So much to look at and the bartenders are interactive when the storm comes! Great place!

What an amazing experience! The setting was fantastic. From the storms to the moving art work. What a fun place! My family and I ordered several food and beverage items. Crab fried rice….amazing! Lobster mac and cheese was incredible! Mussels were delicious! Duck fat fries…. Come on now! We ordered another after finishing the first! Conch fritters and pork dumplings were really good too. We also tried a lava flow and subterranean swizzle. Both were delicious! We also sampled the desserts. The bread pudding is my favorite. It is by far the best bread pudding I’ve ever had. We also tried the tacacha. It was so good. You cannot go wrong with either. Our service was great. Our server was attentive and very helpful when making our food choices. You have got to try the Dive Bar. It is an incredible experience. Great job RAR! We will be going again!

The decor is beautiful with a nautical theme; portholes, barnacles, ropes, and intricate wood accents. The staff was excellent. But I was not sure who their clientele is; adults or kids. Fake storms with bubble machines (??) seem geared toward children but there is no kid’s menu - and it’s a bar!

Wonderful drinks, amazing food! Only had one issue with one of the food selections. Service was prompt. Reservations are a must. The only negative is that you will have a time limit. We would have ordered more drinks but they told us our time was up. I didn’t see anyone waiting and there were other tables available when we left . Just a little disappointing when you are spending money the whole time you are there (our bill was $300 before tip) and then being told you have to vacate. I get it but just know that this is not the place to hang out and try lots of drinks.

It was totally new experience to us eating like that with the small plate concept what we ate was good just never experienced that or expected it. I would return……… but for appetizers a drink then dinner across the street maybe. It was a good evening. Downtown Cambridge beautiful place.

The ambience! Just waiting for your food is an experience! On that, the wait for refills (water) was too long but fortunately the drinks were outstanding. They are mostly rum based, not surprising given the theme. It's a smaller but cozy space but it can be noisy when it's full. Not the place for intimate conversation. The food was very delicious and creative but a little pricey. It was just me and my wife but if you have hungry kids prepare to spend. We were there over 90 minutes but was not asked to give up our table as others have indicated can happen when they are 100 percent booked. Plan accordingly though. Overall I highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed our visit, the atmosphere and theme was very different than anywhere I’ve been before (which is good). Food tasted very good and came out relatively quick. My only negative about the food is how expensive the items we got were for how much food we got. We will definitely go back again sometime.
