I recommend Leader for the food. The service was poor. It was about 75% with customers. Took about 10 minutes to get water. The people seated next to us left after getting no service. Had to ask twice for a to go container. I was really excited to try this place and very disappointed in our visit.

The food is wonderful and the service was amazing. Everyone was so nice and barely any wait.

We've enjoyed stopping for dinner at Leader on our way to Lake Country from the cities. The service and meals have been great! The meat and fish is always so delicious and well prepared, and the dishes are homey but creative! So glad to have a nice spot in Cambridge to enjoy - we will keep coming back to this gem. Love the history too.

We went to Leaders to celebrate my birthday, and it was the perfect spot for the occasion. We sat at the bar as a family and had a front-row seat to the kitchen staff in action—such a fun and energizing atmosphere! The food, as always, was absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the staff—they were super friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. Leaders continues to be one of our favorite places to dine. Can’t wait to go back!

Staff was friendly and attentive. The decor was fresh and relaxed. All the tables were full, but space seemed adequate and noise level was managed, easy to talk and hear conversation. The food was unique, beautifully presented, and delicious. Everything arrived a perfect temperature and thought was given to details. Enjoyed our visit. Will recommend to others and return.

We had the 9 cheese mac and cheese and an order of fries. Absolutely the best mac and cheese we have ever had! Dipping the fries in the cheese sauce was a great combination. We will definitely be back.

Surprisingly modern, delicious & fun for being in the middle of Cambridge! The whole restaurant has an open, inviting atmosphere with a kitchen bar, coffee shop and attached gift store. As a vegan, there was one salad that I was able to eat, the Merry & Bright, and it was pretty tasty. What I enjoyed more was the lavender latte I ordered before and savored while enjoying the whole mood. I ended up getting a second chai latte to- go so I had something delicious to sip while shopping the gift store. While I wouldn’t say this is a spot for vegans, it’s certainly a great stop just for the experience, especially given the area.
Dietary restrictions: Not really a great spot for vegans as far as food goes; there is one salad that is vegan

Been going here for many years, 2-3 times a month, and have to say it is our fav place to sit, have a drink, a great meal and chat with the team at the counter seats. Everything is hand made, made to order and well curated. All are amazing and so focused on great food and experience. Love them all...Cheers!!!!

Been here 10+ times and will be my last. This time was definitely different. The hostess was super nice and said she’d come get us when our tables ready. The next time I see her she’s asking me if I want a table for one. Then I said table for two. I said, “You said you’d find me 20 minutes ago” . Then she remembered and assured me it would be 5 mins or less. I then walk outside to put the things I’ve purchased from the store in my car and come back in and she asks me how many? Then remembers o ya I saw you one second ago. Terrible hostess. I’d fire her. She’s probably very obviously and needs no description physically. The bad memory is obvious enough. She’s young. Now about the service. The table of 4 that ordered after us was served before us. No big deal. But when the food got into our bodies it was immediately followed with diarrhea. Throughout the night. Never going back. It’s too expensive for almost everything on the menu as well.
Delicious bacon cheese burgers!
