We couldn't read our menus it was so dark. Food was ok and drinks good. Wouldn't rush back.

It was very loud but it a fun way. This is a buzzy restaurant, not good for an intimate setting. Luckily we were very happy with buzzy. The service was excellent and the food outstanding. Such a great mix of flavours and we loved the small plates format to taste lots of things.

We had really high hopes because we've been meaning to make it to Little Donkey for years. The menu really excited us but most of the dishes fell flat. The stand outs were the Philly cheesesteak arancini and the branzino.

Little Donkey was excellent – food, wine, service. It's not exactly easy to read the menu or hear one another in the very loud and darkened room – but given what you eat and drink, and how helpful your server is, you're happy anyway.

I love this restaurant the little donkey. I was amused with the name at first, and then realized that the chef must be extraordinary to be able to name his restaurant little donkey. I was right the food was extraordinary. The staff was accommodating and very pleasant I highly recommend if you are in Cambridge to visit this establishment you’ll have an amazing meal.

I have been here many times; never disappoints, but this time there were a few points that could have been better. - When we asked for bread, we were told there is none but we could order the rolls from the menu. With so many items in the menu that goes well with bread, this was strange. - The only IPA on draft was not available, we needed to switch to cans that were not the same. - Steak tartare that comes with toasted bread anywhere I had it comes only with potato chips only, which is very difficult to portion and eat. It also comes on a bone marrow. While the idea is good, the cold steak tartare quickly solidifies the bone marrow, making it a solid grease chunk on the tartare.

Food was creative, but small for price and not extraordinary. Arancini was very good

Sad to say we’re truly disappointed with Little Donkey manager, Jai czeremcha!! He kicked us out of the bar after we spent over$300!! He was super rude in asking us to promptly leave. I love the food and servers at Little Donkey but this manager has no customer relations skills. He needs training!!

Really great ambiance, service, and the food is incredible. The oysters were amazing. I really love the supportive atmosphere for LGBTQIA people!
Little donkey was absolutely phenomenal. The food was so good (the burger is unreal). The ambiance was very eclectic city vibes. The wait staff was great, and the drinks were tasty. To top it off they gave you a wet nap at the end of the meal, which really led my decision for 5 stars. We need to bring wet naps back as a society.

The wine list is unfortunately not on par with the quality and innovation of the food. This is too bad!

In Boston for just one night and picked the best spot. Our host and waiter were great and their recommendations were spot on. Everyone was super friendly and will definitely be on my list if I make it back to Boston

Our first visit to Little Donkey was delightful. My husband and I had the salt cod churros, Parker house rolls (get the pimento spread!), manti (meat ravioli), seared foie gras, and the Dubai Krispie treat for dessert. Everything was excellent. Note that Little Donkey's interior is quite dark - we had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu. Once our eyes adjusted it was fine for dining but still too dim to read easily.

Just outstanding food and vibe in a beautiful restaurant. By far best cheeseburger in town. Highly recommend, but pro tip if you go - the menus are paper and about 3/4 the length of some of the tables. Keep an eye out for where your open candle is on the table, in relation to where you hold your menu. 😉
