“outstanding!! we missed our flight to South Beach Miami so we decided to spoil ourselves and boy were we spoiled. so so good. everything was outstanding. excellent cocktails too“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“Instant classic! I live in Washington, but any time I find myself in the Boston area, I will be coming back to Oleana!“

“Our favorite local Italian spot! Pastas and desserts are outstanding.

Dietary restrictions: They handle dietary restrictions very well! I have a tree nut allergy and was easily able to navigate the menu with little limitation. They do not have GF pasta FYI.“

“Gustazo is one of my fav restaurants when it comes to intimate dining with a small group. The menu is tasty and the mixed drink selection is inventive!
Wait staff is friendly and helpful.
The experience would be better if the food serving would be more spaced out and thoughtful. Instead they brought everything at once which made us feel rushed.“

“Let me start with the staff, very friendly and welcoming. The best I've seen in Boston thus far. So thank you for the great hospitality Bosso.
The food was great. Their hand rolls are delicious. I also had hokkaido croquettes; these were special. I would definitely come back and try more of their dishes.“

“It is really tasty Everything we ordered is very good“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Siagon Babylon and it has easily become one of our favorite Boston restaurants. The plates are small and I recommend getting a couple to share (tapas style). We loved that each dish had classic southeast asian flavors, but was so unique. You will not find dishes like this anywhere else in Boston. Excited to come back for more!“

“The food is amazing! I totally forgot the name of the dish but the pork with noodle dish with the fried rangoon was amazing def recommend 🍜. Crispy chicken basil is also good and I recommend it with the sticky rice 🍚. The Hor Mok (salmon, shrimp, etc. curry inside a coconut 🥥) is pretty good too! The mango sticky rice is a go-to dessert 🥭“

“WOW! BBQ IN BOSTON
Last night I had friends visiting from the Midwest and let's just say that going out for seafood was not on their priority list but intrigued on how BBQ in the Boston area would compare with where they are from we ventured out to the Smoke Shop BBQ and chose their Harvard Square Cambridge location. From start to finish the experience and food was top notch. And according to group the BBQ topped what they are used to in the Midwest. Thank you Julius and Stephanie for a great experience and kudos to Andy and his entire team.“

“A specialty coffee restaurant located in Cambridge, Boston. In addition to selling coffee and meals, the store also sells its own craft beer. You can not only enjoy beer in the store, but you can also take beer home. This time I ordered hot Americano and Kouign Amann. The coffee tastes mellow and delicious, and the slightly sweet icing on the outside of the creamy Oman is paired with the creamy mille-feuille, giving it a rich and delicious taste.

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“beautiful patio expansion "Moona Oasis" to accommodate more guests!“

“The hype is so real. My first time trying Vietnamese iced coffee, and turns out it is amazing. They have an EXTREMELY cute patio in the back. I got the sai gon espresso latte, iced, and my friend got the hai noi honey mousse. Both were absolutely delicious, and the hai noi honey mousse was very unique. The palmier was good, and my friend loved the banh mi she got. I will go back any chance I get.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Boston/Cambridge. The short rib khao soi MIGHT be the best dish in the entire state, it is absolutely perfect. Great beer selection with affordable prices. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are so incredibly sweet. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

“The best Somali food in town. Tried their chicken and rice - absolutely delicious, and they included Sambusa with my order ?FYI: Found the place inside MIT on the 2nd floor. Got a bit lost with maps, but called their number on Google, and they guided me in. The Google pics show another branch in East Boston( not sure if the East Boston spot is open atm ), but the new spot inside MIT is where it's at.“

“TL;DR: TAKEOUT REVIEW. Everything was so good! Ikura was the starOrdered takeout/delivery on our last night in Boston for our late night snack. We had gone earlier in the day, but their chef's were not doing ala carte orders yet (they had just opened). But the store has a good selection of grab-and-go items from sushi, to drinks, to other merch like soy sauce and snacks.FOOD:~Chef's Sampler (5/5) and Signature Set (5/5): each of these sets came with 5 pieces of nigiri, and they were all so good. Each of them were topped with a unique seasoning/sauce, and they accompanied each of the fish so well!Salmon don (5/5): came with a great assortment of salmon, all of it very fresh (salmon belly was my fave). But the star of this dish to me was the ikura and the cucumbers. SO DELICIOUSGreat quality sushi, great portions, delicious flavors, and affordable prices! Definitely a must visit!“

“Great customer service, some of the best coffee, great waffle, will visit again!“

“tuna poke and the foie was aboustly amazing.“

“Great food!“

“I'm not sure why the not great star rating! I came here on a weekday afternoon and I personally found it to have a really nice ambience. The food was perfectly decent and came quickly. I got the chilli scrambled eggs and found the dish to be flavorful and fresh. The waitress was really sweet, and I felt calm and soothed!“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“Friendly staff and very welcoming. They have some great beers. I got the flight and New Zealand IPA was very interesting. I am glad I stopped by here to try the beers.
They have outside seating as well for bigger parties.

Vegetarian options: There are some options.

Dietary restrictions: Yes and some GF options as well

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“WOWZA! What a place! Came here with my daughter and wife. They got themselves a fix of iced lattes, and well, it did the trick on a hot Harvard summer day amiright ?! As for me, a stubborn black coffee drinker (no sweeteners or cream EVER, I'm old fashioned I know, I know ?!) I got a bagel. I ordered The Harper... sweet Mary and Joseph of the Holy Bible! Hence the "wowza"! The lemon and dill cream cheese is to DIE for. It's fresh, it's savory... it's amazing. Not to mention the quick service. Also it being in the Smith center means it's got the good AC (you know what I mean if you went to Harvard ?). Pavement is so convient and delicious, perfect for a light/ medium lunch. And my son (7 M) was ALL over the little chocolates they have. Now every time we walk in Harvard square all I hear is a rat in my ear going "Papi! Papi! More pavement chocolate!! Papi!!!!!" That's kids fer ya amiright ??.
Wouldn't trade it for the world!“

“From start to finish it was amazing. The drinks and food were delicious. Atmosphere was so unique and you felt like you were truly in another place. The bartender we had was so different than anyone we've ever met. His food and drink recommendations were spot on.“

“Stunned by this incredible farm to table meal. The drinks and food was extraordinary. They also accommodated my gluten free and dairy free dietary restrictions really well! My friend who was celiac had absolutely no problems. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“Great pizza an salad plus awesome non alcoholic drinks !“

“Simply the best burger in town! And don’t miss the city best Raspberry Lime Rickey.“

“Nut allergy friendly: Everything we ordered was safe for me!

We stopped in at around 8PM on a Sunday and were luckily seated immediately with a party of 5.

Time to Appetizer: ~10 Minutes
Time to Entree: ~25 Minutes

We weren't too hungry, and ordered:
-Brazilian Patties (Cod) (5/5): Perfect sharable appetizer that comes with a sauce with a really nice zesty kick. Like upgraded fish sticks.
-Feijoada (4.5/5): The fried plantain was the best part of this dish. Heck, order a few of those separately! Otherwise, this was really enjoyed but quite heavy on beans. It's perfectly sharable in that respect.
-Mariscada (5/5): Loved the variety of seafood and it went excellently with rice. It really is a must try.
-Kids Menu Chicken Stroganoff (3.5/5): One of my party really wanted it, and the portions are quite generous (she couldn't finish it). I wouldn't come for it but it's not bad!

Desserts:
-Flan (5/5): Rich, creamy, not too sweet. Definitely worth a try.
-Top Hat Banana (3/5): It was unique, but I can't say I'm a fan of cheese with ice cream. Plantain with ice cream, though, fantastic.

Overall, a fantastic experience with unique cuisine and excellent service. Would come back again!“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“Good dining experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. My server replaced a dessert I didn't like with no change- which was very nice of her. Did the tasting menu which was nice. Next time I'll prob try the a la carte menu.

Parker House rolls:
Pillowy soft. Slightly sweet with a light dusting of salt on top. Butter was creamy and tasty too. 4/5

Potato pave
Like a giant French fry. Crispy outside nice and soft on inside. Topped with cavier and shallots which added a nice saltiness and savory flavor combo.

kampachi crudo-
Topped with basil, radishes, and cherry pepper drops
Good quality fish, slightly acidic flavor went well with the basil and radish. Cherry peppers added a light spice. Overall lacked flavor though 3.5/5

capitelli- topped with a Gremolata and capers, olive oil and eggplant
Very savory and well cooked. This was tasty 4.5/5

Pork loin with celery figs and peppers
Very tender and flavorful. Nice sauce with savoriness and a sweetest added by the figs 5/5

Dessert was a pear sorbet-
So good! Very. Tasted exactly like a pear. No added sugar no additives. so good! 5/5“

“Fantastic service , great food“

“A great small-plate restaurant near Harvard. We ordered four dishes and were not able to finish all of them. My favorite was the popcorn pancake. I also liked the secret burger. The grilled broccoli was big and should be cut into smaller chunks.

The service was excellent. I would love to come back sometime to try something else next time.“

“The restaurant is exceptional and took care of my group of 3. The atmosphere is great!! Exotic and professional for our business team!!“

“All time favorite. This is one of the best places to get venison or any seasonal offerings. The wild mushrooms are so delicious and even my brother who hates mushrooms enjoyed them. The menu closely follows our seasons as everything that can be sourced from the wild is! There’s a constantly changing menu. The smoked trout is particularly memorable. The food really has a lot of flavor and depth. They have special wine dinners with fixed menu and pairings as well.“

“I love going here before a movie in Davis Square. Food and drinks are great and reasonably priced, and the bar and waitstaff are excellent . I went with some women friends last time and got the King Prime. It was great. The Tomahawk is on my wishlist but I didn't want my friends to witness me downing it!!“

“I stumbled upon this bakery after reading a review of one of their customers on Google. I had to try it out myself. This place did not disappoint. I got a croissant, pain au chocolat, Pecan bun and ham and cheese sandwich in a baguette. Pecan bun was a blast. Everything else was awesome too.
This is hands down the best bakery/patisserie in Boston.
Thank you for the Pecan bun, it was amazing.
Note: this is not a traditional cafe. It is takeout only.“

“This place has amazing pizza! You can order a whole pie or just grab a slice. My husband introduced me to it, and it's popular with many well-known people—their photos are all over the walls.

They offer a variety of flavors. I tried the chicken and pesto slice, and it was delicious. If you're nearby and looking for a quick bite, this is the perfect spot!“

“One of the few authentic tasting Chinese/Taiwanese Restaurant where the taste and flavors hasn't been compromised. Highly suggest Ginger Scallion Fried rice, Mulan Fish, Pork with Mustard Green, and classic Bitter Melon with Salted Egg. Always busy. Do yourself a favor, invite people, family style sharing dishes and get full.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of tables at a good high, ground level entrance.“

“I frequent this restaurant to the point the staff recognize me! Handsdown best value and best quality hot pot in the Boston area (in my opinion). The meat always taste so high quality and flavorful - meat is very easy to taste amiss if it's low grade. The broth is delicious, especially when it cooks down. Excellent array of side dishes, only thing is it varies sometimes. Would love to see thin enoki mushrooms more consistently and my friend would love to see mussels more consistently. Other than that this is THE place to go to for hot pot!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have some tables that are wheelchair accessible. Would recommend going not on weekends as it gets very crowded there. But the staff are great about accommodating mobility aids!“

“Pepperoni pizza was GREAT!!“

“nice state park.lots of wild life to see.“

“Awesome little cafe that brought me back to how cafe’s should be. A space for people to meet, gather, and enjoy good food/drink. It’s absolutely not just a coffee shop. The kitchen with a full menu and baked goods are fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re in the Boston area.

Parking: Parking in Boston is difficult and these locations rarely have dedicated parking.“

“I didn't have the chance to try their food, but I saw a few dishes come out of the kitchen and they looked delicious.
The atmosphere is very pleasant and the attention is wonderful.
Today we had the pleasure of having two delicious papelon with lemon courtesy of the house. Grateful?????“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“This small, independent burger joint near MIT felt like stepping back into the 1950s. With its retro vibe and even an arcade, it’s the kind of place where the staff are friendly, and the people seem to know each other—it doesn’t feel corporate at all. It gave me the feeling of walking into a scene from Happy Days. The double chicken sandwich was tastier and better-priced than anything from the big chains, and the truffle fries were absolutely delicious. My only regret? I forgot to take photos (but I'll be back so no matter)! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, laid-back spot with authentic charm and great food.“

“Great bowls and chai latte ☕️“
