“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Great sandwiches, coffee drinks and a welcoming environment.“

“We had an amazing evening at Rose. Our group of 4 tried several of their cocktails and all were amazing. For dinner we shared several plates of tapas and all were winners. Difficult to pick a favorite. By the end of our meal, the restaurant had a great vibe with a DJ getting the atmosphere up.“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“Excellent and creative options. Enjoyed a cocktail too.“

“Perfection! I can't say enough about the magic-potion cocktails, flavorful dishes, cool vibe, fun staff and locals 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.“

“The menus items are fusion of different cuisine, which are quite fun to try. All dishes are medium sized tapas style, each person probably needs about 1.5 dishes. The alligator meat is exotic, and tastes quite nice. There are other dishes that are a little salty and too strong in flavor that left a strange after taste, hence the four stars for the food. We did not finish the duck and the ribs.“

“The food was delicious. We got a blood orange sangria pitcher and about 2 plates per person (note- we shared them all) so 6-7 plates total, and the service was wonderful. It was my birthday and they were sweet to help celebrate. Would absolutely recommend!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“I went for the first time earlier this week, and I thought it was great! Firstly they were very gracious about my indecisiveness on where I wanted to sit, and allowed me to switch tables. Twice. The bev list had a solid selection of natural wines from some of my favorite producers, but I ended up ordering a glass of one I've never tried before - a skin contact Carricante which matched nicely with the light char on our pizza. The food was fresh and vibrant, our server was attentive and engaging (sorry hun, I forgot your name, even though I asked a couple times, but you deserve a shout-out). Long story short, I went in hungry and slightly grumpy, I left happy and with a satisfied stomach.“

“Exceeded every expectation, delivering an unforgettable dining experience that felt like a journey to paradise. From the very first bite, it was clear that each dish was crafted with utmost care and attention to flavor, balance, and presentation. Every plate was a celebration of fresh, bold flavors that left me savoring each moment. The drinks? Pure artistry! Perfectly mixed, refreshing, and thoughtfully paired to bring out the best in every dish.

And the desserts… they were simply sublime, the ideal finish to an extraordinary meal. I can’t overstate how impressive the ambiance was, transporting and beautifully curated to complete the experience. Tulum is more than just a meal—it’s a must-visit destination for anyone craving excellence. Five stars just don’t seem enough!“

“The food, atmosphere and customer service is top tier. It was worth every penny. The food feels like your abuela is in the back cooking with love. The presentation is chic and luxurious. It feels like you were transported to Cuba. You greeted as soon as you walk in and the waitress and waiters go above and beyond to make sure you’re okay. This has to be on my top 5 places to eat in Cambridge. I wish I knew about this place before I graduate. I will be back. The ropa vieja is so good. It’s a traditional dish.“

“A birthday meal that blew me AWAY“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“Our favorite restaurant ever. Food is amazing and they have the best service. Very welcoming. They always make us feel like family. We have been coming here for years. This is a great way to try different foods, and they always have something on special. This is a little far from our house but we always make it out here a few times a year. Would recommend to anyone. This place is incredible!“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Came for one drink and ended up having dinner here because of the atmosphere. The bartenders were so down to earth and the esthetics were Instagram worthy! The food was great, we had the skewers and calamari for dinner the lobster raviolis 10/10.
Recommend for a nice Friday night out. Drinks I had the espresso martini but the sangria was the special of the week! 👌🏾👌🏾“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“This was a last stop on our self created pub/tavern/bar crawl. It was a flipping vibe! Reminded me of a place we would go in Paris. The bar stools were so comfortable which is why we stayed for two rounds! The drinks were amazing. My husband got a great beer and I hit a few of the signature cocktails. (Something Bloom, and a mint, sage, lemon one - amazing). We tried one appetizer - Golden Pork Belly with Guacamole- crispy, creamy, spicy. Perfection in flavor and presentation! It was the highlight on the pub crawl. The inside is beautiful and the staff was so kind, helpful and welcoming! We will probably go back tonight!!! Best was for sure last!!!“

“Love the back bar and service was 10/10“

“This place is amazing. Everything. We flew in and were so tired but it was my husbands bday so we had to get brunch… I’ve never had better pancakes, Benedict, avocado/salmon toast, bacon & egg sandwich… 5 stars for service, atmosphere and cuisine! We’ll be back and you should too!“

“I went to Boston and I just had to go to a tapas place since I love tapas places. I absolutely love the ambience of this place, we went on a Monday and it was pretty packed. We ordered bacalao croquettes, grilled octopus, gambas al ajillo, papas bravas. I have to say, my favorite tapas was the bacalao croquettes and the papas bravas - I know they have two kind of papas bravas, one with chorizo and and the regular- we ordered the regular.
I was pretty full and happy, this is a must if you decide to visit Boston!“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“I celebrated my 52nd birthday today with my daughter. Our service was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“We stopped for a drink @Winkand Nod. Upscale cocktail bar, loved the ambience.

The drinks were average. I felt for anaupscale cocktail bar we would expect a great ice and cocktail pairing.

This is a great first date spot.“

“Exceptional service and superb food and drink! Very cozy and comfy atmosphere!“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“I wish I could recall our bartenders name... he was great! Knowledgeable about his craft of providing well made cocktails. Locations like this are hard to find in a sea of "bars". If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience stop in, you'll be glad you did!“

“Really glad I found this spot. Has a chill, cozy vibe — the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned. The wine selection is thoughtful without being overwhelming, and the staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. I had a glass of red they suggested and it was spot on. Brie appetizer? Ridiculously good. definitely get it if it’s on the menu. Whether you’re popping in for a quick glass or settling in for the night, this place just gets it right.“

“Although the food and service were outstanding, the restaurant was very cold. The air conditioning was blasting making it uncomfortable. The noise level was so loud it was almost impossible to talk. Most of the restaurant walls are wood, but some of the walls such as the one we were next to were painted and were peeling and in dire need of a paint job. The sangria of the day was delicious, but was 75% ice so not worth the $15 for a couple of sips.“

“Charming old school beer hall. Sadly, it was damaged in 2018 due to a fire upstairs, and never re-opened. As of early 2019, the building appears to be for sale, so it looks like the closure may end up being permanent. :-(“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“Great experience dining here. Today is the 5th time in the past 3 weeks. The food is prepared to order and is superb and full of flavor! The chef is also the owner and he does an awesome job! He came out the last time to say hello and thanked us for our patronage. The wait staff are super friendly and are attentive to you, eager to satisfy. I've had the swordfish special the last two times and it was really fresh and very flavorful, my father had the lamb shank and he loved it! If you have a food allergy, the chef is very effective in completely omitting that ingredient and is so good in his profession that he is able to whip up a flavorful substitute. It is not always that you find a restaurant that knows how to prepare duck confit properly and if you love lamb shank, look no further.“

“I’ve always loved this restaurant every time I’ve been. Just a really special place!“

“Sabina has been open for a year and last weekend I finally got a chance to visit. Went there with a friend and we’d initially thought of just getting drinks but their menu was quite interesting so we tried a few appetizers. My friend had the Cuadrito de lechon which he mentioned was fantastic. I had the Esquite tostada which was presented very well and tasted great. We got a Guacamole to share and it was amazing!

Coming to drinks, my tamarind Margarita was top notch! I can’t remember the names of other drinks we tried but it was delicious!

I know that Newbury St is packed with places to go so it takes a whole lot more to be a standout, Sabina’s is one of those standouts for sure.“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere. Ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with lemon whipped cream and sausage, my partner ordered the Croque Madam. Would highly recommend all of it. What a great place!!“

“Delicious casual meal. All about the food. It's fantastic.“

“Ieshah and milli were the best bartenders best mixologist I’ve ever experienced they were both welcoming and whole heartedly respectful and respectful to suggestions about the menu here and it was my first time here from Chicago i will definitely be back!!!“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“
