When in the course of human dining, it becomes necessary for one restaurant to rise above the oft-trodden culinary landscape and to assume, among the eateries of Cambridge, the superior and distinguished status to which the Laws of Epicureanism and of Gastronomy’s own accord, a decent respect to the opinions of gastronomes requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the dinner reservation.

I had 4 meals here. All were great. The menu was restricted due to a staff event the first night, even so, the kitchen made an exception to serve some excellent oysters. Breakfasts were tasty and very generous. I had a classic one day and a salmon bagel the second day. The only thing I would say is that a little more cream cheese would have been good for the bagel. The lobster roll was generous and well cooked. I really liked the hot or cold option.

Nov 2022, Chef Adam Resnick kindly brought the dish out himself and I proceeded to enjoy one of the most delicious meals of my life! I wish I knew what this dish was called, it was special for charity so I am unable to find it on the menu. Everything we ordered was so yummy! Sauce for the oysters, burger, fries, etc. The tostones were perfect, the sauce was perfect, I wish I could be transported back!

What a lovely restaurant! Stopped here on our way to the science museum and didn’t regret it. The food was incredible– you could really tell the head chef and kitchen staff are artists. Everything tasted as good as it looked (which was consistently beautiful). Drinks were good– highly recommend the pesto arancini, they were mind blowing.

Very average hotel restaurant, at least for breakfast and lunch (didn’t come here for dinner) with high prices for the area.

Good place for a large gathering. The food was decent. We ordered Butternut squash soup which was okayish. We also ordered fish tacos and burgers. The burgers were great. Fish tacos were pretty simple but the fish was fried perfectly well and the potato chips that came along were perfectly crisp
