I've gone to this Revival location for coffee often and have had bites at the bar - but this was my first dinner! Andres was a fabulous server, he was a delight and made our experience so special. and the entire service team was kind and attentive. The food was lovely and classic with creative hints that elevated the standard offering. Really glad we stopped in! We'll be back :)

The food was okay but the service, even on slow night, was bad. The server brought the wrong drink but we didn't catch it until the check arrived and one of the ingredients was an allergen for my husband. Morhership never responded to my message to them.

Fantastic Mother's Day Bruch! Service was prompt and knowledgable about the menu and food allergens. Menu had a great selection of sweet, savory and fun items. All we ordered was delicious.

Our server was amazing! So friendly and accommodating. We had great food, our favorites were the tendies and the asparagus.

Great drinks, apps, entrees and desserts! I loved the stuffed summer flounder and the chicken taquitos. The service was excellent also.

My boyfriend and I went per the recommendation of a colleague and it did NOT disappoint. We had the dumplings and flatbread for an appetizer, which were delicious, but the entrees and dessert stole the show. The chicken dish was so tasty. The carrot cake/cheesecake hybrid dessert with salted caramel ice cream was incredible. Our waiter was so helpful when it came down to picking what to eat and was so pleasant all night. Will certainly be coming back!

Amazing experience! Can't wait to return. The food was amazing, drinks incredible, and ambiance perfect.

Fabulous. Light and airy, great food and Wilder the bartender is the best. It's an off the beaten track place but worth checking out.

Really fantastic food and excellent service within a modern, cosy and welcoming vibe. The aesthetic is beautiful and the staff are genuinely friendly and pleasant. Mothership is definitely a keeper.

Mothership has become our "go to" spot. The food is great, the drinks are great and the staff is just as wonderful! Fun menu with fun drinks. This place never disappoints!

We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was not crowded - I think because it hasn't yet been discovered as it's off the beaten path, tucked behind the Alewife T station amidst the apartment buildings there. They have a lovely ambience with spacious outdoor seating and a fire pit as well as a spacious indoor dining area that doesn't make you feel crowded next to strangers. The restaurant offers a small menu but with very interesting flavor combinations - especially among their house cocktails - and there was something for everyone (vegetarian or carnivore). We ended up splitting several shareable plates and each one was a winner. And all of the servers were pleasant and attentive. It's now on our list of go-to places.

It was trivia night, but we wanted to talk rather than participate so we had a nice corner where we could do just that. I ordered the scrod for the third time in a row, so delicious. The side dish of zucchini was also delicious, a first time. Finally, I played all the games on the child's menu with a very intelligent eight year old. We found ways to collaborate rather than compete, so each of us one once. ?

We had a relaxed and lovely time at Mothership. The staff is just the nicest! Great place with kids - space to wander, patient and understanding staff, yummy kids' food (great grownup food, too!).

We shared the calamari appetizer, which was gobbled up quickly, and I had the baked scrod in two glasses of the spectacular sangria. The sangria was dusted with some kind of magic red dust, which was delicious. I had had the scrub the last time I was here. It's baked perfectly with a crust of crumbs that are gluten-free, and I don't know what's in the sauce that comes around the mashed potato, but it's all the perfect marriage. This is my favorite restaurant within a drive of our house, excellent value for money.

This is our new favorite dining spot. It has a laid back atmosphere, a great covered outdoor space, and the food/drinks are expertly prepared and delicious without trying too hard to be fancy.
