Ribeye’ sauce and butter on top are next level incredible. Bass crudo was our favorite, the fennel sauce with the olive oil is amazing (definitely want bigger portions of the crudo I could eat that all day). Had a resy but seats were available at the bar and we prefer that, service was great.

We had a 5:15pm reservation and called ahead to say we would be a few minutes late (arrived at 5:20).. The first course came around 5:45, which was oddly 4 dishes (although we were two people, and we told them we are sharing everything), but fine.. the next one (which was also 4 dishes: halibut, steak, parsnip, potato) didn’t arrive until 6:40pm.. almost an hour (ok 55min to be precise) between courses!! We had planned to leave by 7 (which we mentioned) because we assumed that we would have plenty of time for a two-course dinner.. Unfortunately, we had to take the mains to go and skip dessert.. not great when the bill is around $130 per person.
The team was apologetic though.. they offered a free sorbet (which we declined) and took the drinks off the bill ($42).. Still, the pacing really threw off the experience.. The food itself was good with interesting flavors.. the space has a nice atmosphere with a cool open kitchen setup.. I just wish the timing and course pairing were better thought out..
(I only took photos of the first course because I was pretty bored by the time the 2nd arrived)

If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, look no further than Fallow Kin in Cambridge, the most exquisite new addition to Boston’s dining scene. While farm-to-table isn’t new, the way they craft every dish absolutely is. From the mouthwatering duck fat brioche and blueberry starter to sublime sunchokes, a perfectly balanced pumpkin dish, smoky, sensational cabbage, and mains that satisfy every craving. Each plate feels like a small revelation. (And don’t even get me started on that churro!) The service is exceptional, and the space itself feels as special as the concept. Open, warm, and alive with the energy of the kitchen, where chefs create with love and care at the heart of it all. What a treat this evening was for my husband, my parents, and me. I can’t wait to go back.

Loved our meal here! We had a great experience at the chef's counter - fun to watch the kitchen and have one of the head chefs plate and describe a 7-course meal right in front of us. The food was fantastic across the board. Interesting flavor combos. Seasonal veggie forward, but still plenty of protein and a satisfying meal. Plus everyone was so friendly and the space is beautiful. We'll be back again!

I realize that the restaurant has only been open for two weeks, so it's possible they are still finding their footing. But we unfortunately found the food to be pretty disappointing, especially at this price point. One quarter of the $85 ribeye consisted of inedible fat, the parsnips were tough, the crispy potato was overly salted, and the pastas were bland. In general, the interesting flavor profiles on the menu did not translate onto the plate. I don't mind spending more on the farm-to-table concept in dining, but the execution wasn't there.

I just had the best chocolate cake of my life here.
I've been waiting with bated breath for over a year for Fallow Kin to open, and it did not disappoint! 10/10 new restaurant from the team behind Talulla, which is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Boston-Cambridge area.
Creative flavor combinations throughout the menu, executed fantastically. Highlights were the twice-cooked sunchoke, the cider braised halibut, and of course the sweet potato cake.
The same impeccable service you can find at Talulla - friendly, attentive, and efficient.
Will be back again. Multiple times.

This place is a GEM!
My husband and I are very picky about our food and service at restaurants. We’ve been to all the good places in the Boston area multiple times, so lately we’ve been going to NYC for better dining experiences.
We visited Fallow Kin last week on their opening day and were pleasantly surprised. The non-alcoholic drinks and food were absolutely delicious. My husband (who isn’t a big vegetable eater) couldn’t stop eating their roasted parsnips dish, and I still cannot get over my chicken dish- it was so tender and juicy!
Today we tried the tasting menu, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The food was Michelin star level and the service was warm and attentive. We definitely recommend Fallow Kin to anyone who wants to get a great experience. Certainly will be back!
Delightful atmosphere. Amazing service (and I'm talking they take the crumbs off the table good and keep your water filled). Delicious food. Will be coming here again.

Beautiful new restaurant in Central Square, grand and beautifully furnished. Food concept is farm to table, nothing new, but certainly a popular approach. Small plates, family style, which is always welcome. Of course you are paying Cambridge prices 😁 Duck fat brioche, enough said. Pumpkin, sugar pumpkin with pickled mustard seeds, very delicious. Parsnips was delicious with interesting textures, but lacking salt and could be more flavorful. Beef tartare was definitely the favorite. Not slimy, but clean and refreshing. The shiso leaves and sesame oil worked so well. Bass Crudo was also delicious, clean and refreshing with lots of flavor. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for food is that they could dial up the salt a bit more. Desserts however, were amazing all around. Churro was hot and fresh, pairing with the cheddar ice cream, custard and apples, it was an absolute perfection. Sweet potato cake, which can't really taste the sweet potato, just the chocolatey goodness throughout, was also the highlight tonight. Our server, Linnea (such an elegant and unique name) was wonderful. Friendly, warm, and so fun to have, and definitely knew her food. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Fallow Kin is truly exceptional — the kind of restaurant that makes you fall in love with food all over again. Every dish, from the a la carte menu to the full tasting experience, is perfection — innovative, exciting, and absolutely delicious. Each plate feels both thoughtful and adventurous, with flavor combinations that surprise you in the best way possible.
The cocktails are just as impressive — beautifully balanced, creative, and crafted with the same level of care as the food. You can tell there’s real artistry behind every element of the menu.
The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of warm, modern, and inviting — elevated without ever feeling pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for the night and just enjoy.
If you love discovering restaurants that push boundaries while still feeling deeply welcoming, Fallow Kin will be your new favorite spot. I may be biased, as I’m married to one of the chef/owners Marcos, but there’s a reason I married him.
