The place is very cute, the staff is extremely kind, and the vibe is great! Unfortunately, the food is terrible and overpriced. We had 6 dishes to share and maybe only one was acceptable (the lamb ham - very interesting!). I would not recommend this place for dinner, maybe it’s a better option for a drink and one bite before going for dinner somewhere else.

I can't rave enough about Spoke, nor could I possibly count the number of times I've enjoyed their incredible food, drinks, and hospitality. This is our special occasion place *and* our neighborhood place (I admit it's appropriately a little expensive, so it's slightly more on the special occasion side), and it's the place where we know we're going to regularly be blown away. We've brought friends from out of town, and each time they've marveled at the experience. On occasion there might be a dish that we might not love as much as the others, but I appreciate that the chefs are always pushing boundaries and being creative. Also, for such a thoughtful and yet small menu, there are great options for vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and vegans. (I brought a friend from London who can't eat gluten and she was in seventh heaven.) I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I love it because I want to be able to get in, but I also want them to always be around!

Food is amazing but the service is terrible. Came here for a special occasion and we had a tall server who was incredibly rude for now reason. This was surprising based on how good the food was. Will not be back.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in the greater boston area let alone Somerville. Brilliant dishes and thoughtful hospitality in a welcoming ambiance; it’s one of the most unique and outstanding restaurant experiences you’ll have. Also, their menu had several vegan options on it; rare for any restaurant, my vegan friend absolutely loved it!

Truly creative food and cocktails, with the greatest staff. The space is cozy and charming, and I always leave thinking about the amazing things I just ate.

A wine bar that serves wine varietals that you've never heard of but doesn't describe the flavor profiles. Every menu item is filled with things you have to google as if being purposefully obtuse and pretentious. The flavors were not complex or worth the price. People praised the donuts as well but I was utterly underwhelmed by them. I'm baffled at its 4.5 star rating.

Weird. Salty. Fails to treat ingredients with respect. Food is unrecognizable... Descriptions do not match reality.

Staff is so knowledgeable about the menu. Bartender is amazing. Give him a general idea and he comes up with a delicious surprise every time. I loved the eggplant spread. The chef generously gave me the recipe! I cant wait to try it. Lovely people.

A hidden gem right on the edge of Davis! Everything we ordered was delectable, rich, and incredibly. The menu was creatively thought through and the ingredients were fresh! Def stop by for a nice date night.
Great drinks -- both wine and cocktails -- but not enthused with the food, which fell flat on the palate. We both wanted a "redemption meal" to bring some excitement to the mouth.

Camambert, on point. Snapper and green strawberry, an absolute treat. Chilled seafood, playfully balanced. Liquid Caviar drink, lovely.

Amazing food! Very inventive and surprising tastes. Tops are the enoki deep fried wedges and the bavette with crab butter is just perfection. Should Michelin or Gault Millau ever come to the greater Boston area, Spoke will be listed. Small minor; very few wines by the glass.

Everything that I absorbed during this meal was wonderful. Sights, smells, sounds, and especially tastes. All activated in a swirl of tasty deliciousness. Thanks for the fantastic experience
