Terrible experience. I was supposed to meet friends, but the host/greeter interrogated me about the number of persons in the party, and a number of other details that I didn't know. I hung out in the downstairs bar, and a manager approached me, but he was apparently no more hospitable than the host/greeter and made no attempt to seat me or help me find my friends. Why would I spend money at a place that does such a terrible job of welcoming customers?

A cozy neighborhood spot where you can get some pretty good food, drinks, and has a nice atmosphere. They also have a roof deck which is great to sit out on in the summer.

Daedalus continues to be our favorite spot in the neighborhood. Great food, great service. Many things keep changing within Harvard Square, but Daedalus consistently stays a true favorite!

We got a high top on the rooftop deck on a gorgeous Sept night. No better location for a lovely relaxing dinner. We all had appetizers as our dinners because they were all large and we were completely full afterwards. I had the tacos (very good, lots of beef) and my friends had the corn salad, and another salad plus fries. The two cocktails had were good, but both a little light on the alcohol. This is a go-to in Harvard Square. Inside is nice too, including seats at the bar downstairs.

This place was such a diamond find, I didn’t know it existed til some friends suggested it and mentioned it had a rooftop! Such a cute and cozy place, and the outdoor rooftop seating is very intimate and cute. Didn’t take reservations but there was enough space when we came at 6 pm for dinner and drinks.
We had lots of yummy cocktails, some flat breads to start as appetizers (so delish!) and then the dinner menu was so good. We all got a variety of dishes to try - and everyone was happy with their meals! The food came out really fast, as did the drinks; and service was really good. They also have a lot of space indoors, downstairs bar and and upstairs inside seating area with lots of space. The dessert lava cake and tiramisu were also super tasty, recommend trying!

Nice place. I wanted to eat on the rooftop deck but it was too cold, so didn't get to experience it. Service was nice, and it had a relaxed and comfortable vibe. Some of the food was really good (street corn salad), and some was unremarkable (scallops with mashed potatoes and charred broccolini).

Delicious meal and dessert. Friendly and attentive waitress. The restaurant was not loud. The restaurant was clean and had nice decor. And I was pleasantly surprised that parking was not a problem! Overall A+

Lawrence is very accommodating and offered us a richer more flexible dining option and experience than Russell House Tavern so our group of 50-60 came here instead.

As single person, showed up at a not to busy time, asked for seat outside: no space. Right after me three people asked for outside, no problem.
I get it: three people spend more than one, but makes you feel unwanted

What delicious meals we had tonight; the scallops and the chicken saltimboca. Fresh and tasty, and filling. Excellent service as well. A local treasure.

Had a lovely dinner in the dining room then moved to the bar so the server could cash out. Our server had been lovely but the bar tender seemed very annoyed they were still open with multiple customers at the bar. A little off putting.
