    Have been here twice before. Loved it the first time but second was just ok. This visit was a disappointment. No dishes that were really great and one was not good. I think for small plates to really work there needs to be something that ties them together rather than just a number if random things.

    This is a Cambridge favorite. It's small, so advanced planning is essential. But easily among our very favorites in the region.

    The food was novel and outstanding. No problems there, would recommend to a friend and return myself. The only problem was the awful wine list. The recommended wine we had did not stand up to the strong flavors of our meal. The selections were very limited and could stand a serious upgrade with professional recommendations.

    Culinary delight. Imaginative combinations and great service with a somewhat limited menu. Went there with my adult children. We ordered over half the menu. Everybody loved the shared plates. Now we know why Chef Erin was nominated for a James Beard award. The red wine I ordered was amazing. The cocktail could have been better (YMMV).

    Wonderful food, those Tandoori Carrots are memorable, but all the food was delicious. Service is great and the place has a great feel to it.
