One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Every course was absolutely incredible. The cheese plate was perfectly paired and the chicken liver mousse was one of my favorites. Highly recommend the smoked eggplant as well, the flavor is so rich.

Went there this weekend. Took 25 minutes to get to go coffee. They have one espresso machine to service the entire place and they are a victim of their own success. Place is pleasant as always but you cannot be in any kind of hurry.

Best meal ever. The wine and cocktails were fabulous. Everything was delicious.

Super cute vibe. FOH service was great and I loved the intention to supporting local farms and businesses in the food industry. BOH was not wearing masks (all had them on their chin) when I went to the bathroom (the kitchen is open and on the way to the bathroom). Food was very interesting and unique in good way and definitely gets your out of your comfort zone. I’d visit again when the menu changes, but might wait till after the pandemic ends knowing that some of the staff weren’t following the indoor mask mandate.Calamari was very good, though I got a cold bite and could tell it was frozen before cooked to order.Tomato salad was oddly very sweet, like candy and dessert sweet. Wasn’t a big fan.Cauliflower and onion fritters were good.Scallops in gazpacho with pork belly (special of the night) was good but only came with 3 scallops and was the most expensive small plate dish we ordered.French fries with aioli were good, can’t really mess that up though.Personally I would have ordered some of the other items on the menu but my partner is picky about some foods.

We had brunch at Loyal Nine. Servers were friendly and foods were good, I liked open seating (outside but w roof).

Great first experience at Loyal Nine. Cool vibes with the outdoor space and our serve was awesome!We started with the calamari which was really quite good. The pastrami sandwich was pretty good but was very heavy. The salad we had ordered was large but lacking enough dressing.

OVERALL- FOOD is aesthetically plated and made to order (right temperature), but mostly mediocre in both taste and texture. Not great for sharing as small portions. We left our table with about 50% untouched- VIBE is barn / farmhouse / school room. Classic, weathered wood with glass plate ware and glasses. Little noise from outside the restaurant and pleasant background tunes.- VENUE is naturally lit large dining room with soothing profile and green/white/wood color way. Great for groups, dates, and outdoor seating- SERVICE lacks cultural competency for our table which was interested in eating family style and sharing all items. Server also asked us to hand back one menu (which we kept for ordering more food and drinks) when we were already closing out the check. Why didn’t the server wait a couple more minutes to take it with the clean up when the restaurant was at less than 50% capacity?HIGHLIGHTS- cheddar onion biscuit (we ordered a second)- smoked pork belly (great side!)- ceramic ware and plate ware were niceLOWLIGHTS- calamari is heavily battered and fried past golden- ricotta toast is difficult to share (/eat) because the knives can’t cut through the toast- duck confit is flavorless- poached eggs are overly runny eggs (whites were pooling)- served our four-top with two tea kettles and only two cups despite awareness that we were sharing- forgot to bring us share plates

We went in for brunch on Sunday around 11:15 AM. Reservations were made beforehand Wasn't too busy whike we were there - about 60-70% capacity. The location is quaint and quirky. The servers were very active and engaging and were happy to provide suggestions when we asked.- The prices are in line with expectations for cambridge brunches but our party felt that the service was relatively slow given the volume of customers in the restaurant.- The food was decent. 7/10 but not memorable. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with and the paprika flavoring on the chicken was on point.

All of the food was scrumptious and delicious. I will be back again!James R.?

We stopped for a bite before we drove up to Provincetown, very nice outdoor space with a section that is covered and the tables are spaced nicely for social distancing. The staff was quite friendly and efficient. I had the spicy chicken sandwich which I wasn’t crazy about but it was OK and my husband had the lobster roll, which was lacking on the lobster (at $30!). The fresh potato chips were pretty tasty though. Overall, meh.

It's was a good place to hangout for brunch. We had the brunch skilled and the schnitzel. It was good food. Coffee was amazing. Staff were very friendly.

Came here for a quick dinner (spent less than an hour) and wanted to sit on the patio, but the hostess said they don’t have space even though there were two available tables since we came till we left. Our male waiter was very knowledgeable and nice. We ordered three different meals and didn’t like any of them :( won’t come back.

Rats were everywhere in their outside seating. It was shocking. We saw 3 and had to leave.

Great coffee and food. Friendly, well prepared staff. Great patio.

A little drive from the more touristy downtown Boston area but we had a great time enjoying the more tapas style dishes. It's a little on the pricey side if you're ordering enough plates to have a full meal, but theyal tastes superb. The server was kind and brought me a new glass of wine after noticing a decent amount of sediment free of charge!
