Amazing service, and hummus was the best ever

Bartenders played strange game of bait-and-switch, putting on a great show of effort in making a drink which was mediocre at best. After finally making the drink, the cuter bait bartender left so I could be served by the original guy who disappeared after taking my order, and reappeared perfectly timed to "search" for my drink which had been placed the counter in my view.

A phenomenal place to try if you’re in Cambridge area. Our server, Natalie was amazing! She read out our menu according to the dietary restrictions and gave me suggestions for vegetarian options. The vibe is amazing and their little patio is cute if you’re going on a date or out with friends. Would highly suggest to check them out.

The staff of this restaurant worked closely with me for the last few months in the planning of a secret proposal to my fiancée. It all went so smoothly and near-perfect. All the staff were involved, working really hard behind the scenes, including coordinating and hiding family members on the second floor and behind the back door! It was incredibly sweet to see how invested they were in the surprise. The drinks and service were also excellent. There is a beautiful small balcony area on the second floor which is a lovely place to have drinks while overlooking Brattle/Harvard square.

Great time til the bartender disappeared and we had to pay and tip another bartender.Was a very relaxed place to have a conversation and enjoy well made drinks.

I don’t understand this place?? $15 pigs in a blanket disguised under a different name??? Jalapeño poppers made fancy??? $16. I think this place has a cute location and tries to disguise the cheapest apps under the fanciest names

Unimpressive menu; few options

Friendly, patient service. Reasonable drinks price & great options!

Limited vegetarian options but whatever they have is top notch. I love the service and their ambiance. It’s a great place to go with friends, co workers, or partners.

Food-wise, a 5! Only complaint was the time it took to get our drinks and food. Once we did, though, no disappointments! We were pleasantly surprised. Not worth waiting in line at Felipe’s with this place next door. Great selection of alcohol and short but sweet menu, though not too vegetarian-friendly.You HAVE to try their waffle fries!
