Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.
Dan RobertsJuly 17, 2016
The clam garlic bread, the tuna poke, the popovers with wagyu tartar, the burger (with an onion soup mayo sauce!), the cream corn, the chow fun, the matcha profiteroles, the cookie dough, ...

Worth it - Parker house rolls w pork butter/miso butter. BBQ scallops. Uni sandwich. Octopus. Ramen carbonara. Churro ice cream sandwich. Cookie dough on a beater.
Matthew SpectorAugust 6, 2016
Outstanding addition to Central Square. Get the monkfish biryani and the little gems salad. Clam toast and the tuna tartare are stellar.

The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.

If you like small plates and different cuisines this is a great place for you. Always pretty crowded and food is great. Plates will sometimes rotate depending on the season.

Excellent coffee in the AM. Love the vegetarian options. Mostly great staff, though I did have a terrible experience with one snarky and condescending waitress. An anomaly I hope!

Amazing food, rushed service. You can't miss ordering the oysters, BLT Lettuce wraps, foie gras, silver queen corn and lobster fra diavlo. Ask server to slow down cadence to enjoy your meal.
Morgan McKeeApril 16, 2018
Felt a bit hipster here but really enjoyed!! Something for everyone from sweets to savory. Lively spot with clear crowd filling in around noon. Go early (11am) and no probs.

Absolutely love this place. Had the razor clams, wagyu beef tartar with popover, caviar sandwich (a little small but expected with the price), the blowfish was AMAZING, and lobster pasta. Great vibes

Food: Poke with gochujang, pumpkin pupusa, spicy Thai street noodles, blowfish tails, and the churro ice cream sandwichDrinks: Hive mind, buds & bumpers, the one in a grapefruit So, so good.
Ryan NixonDecember 15, 2016
Great cocktails. They have a lot of aperitif options to really prime your tastebuds. The burger with fois gras was rich and satisfying

This place is fabulous for dinner and brunch. Inventive cocktails, an amazing pastry chef! I'm addicted to the Chilaquilas and spicy thai street noodles :)
Sarah NixonJune 4, 2017
The cocktails were fantastic! Get the one in a grapefruit! It's literally in a grapefruit
Lily XuAugust 5, 2016
Matzo ramen is NO good, Manti is awesome, tuna poke is delicious, cucumber salad is refreshing. But overall too expensive for what we got and it's not fancy.
Julia BernardJanuary 2, 2020
The tuna poke and cookie dough dessert were our favorites. Also really liked the burrata and fried chicken sandwich. The cocktails and service were both great!

Cocktails and food are fantastic! Plates to share, don't pass on the manti or ode to Pablo!
Michal PalmonAugust 7, 2021
Most dishes were amazing. The fried cauliflower, burger, thai noodles and lamb bacon lettuce wrap. The mole duck missed the mole sauce.
Georgia LuddeckeJanuary 7, 2018
Everything we had was delicious, but the chow fun was definitely the standout. Will be returning to try more of the small plates and dessert!
Nick BurkaSeptember 11, 2016
Ummm... Everything. Particularly lamb BLT lettuce wraps, blistered avocado, and tuna poke. Drinks are delightful as well.
Laura WongOctober 18, 2016
Would definitely recommend LD for drinks/apps over a meal, more tapas. Downside, no common cuisine, food style seems all over the place. But the dishes are good except the matzo ball ramen
Aysu OzgurAugust 26, 2016
Don't get the matzo ramen. The octopus was amazing though. The punch was also delicious and served nicely.
JOctober 2, 2017
Central square: really creative & delicious plates (lots of good ones for sharing) in a hip setting.

Creatively cupped in a grapefruit, The Donkey Punch at Little Donkey in Boston is made with Cimarron reposado tequila, cassis, lime and agave for a punch of citrus and a kick of sweetness. Read more
RajOctober 10, 2018
Fun vibe but over air conditioned. Lots of delicious small plates. Try the hot & messy fried chicken sandwich
Ross BelmontJanuary 23, 2018
Good cocktails. Don’t skip the duck confit nachos.
Brendan O'NeilApril 30, 2017
Get a few plates to share & the Grapefruit drink. Also the Jerk Chicken wings were *perfectly* spiced
Geoffrey BrailsfordJanuary 14, 2017
Get the Manti (Istanbul Meat Ravioli). Garlic sour cream, red pepper butter... you'll thank me later.
Paull YoungSeptember 1, 2017
The Hummus & Naan is really good, get the charred avocado alogside it
David HoltzSeptember 22, 2016
The food was alright - the corn was probably the best thing we had. The Mexxology was a great cocktail!
PaulinnateAugust 26, 2016
Simply amazing. Can't wait to go back.
Tiffany LopinskyAugust 7, 2016
You have to get the cookie dough for dessert!
Charles BrowerJune 3, 2018
Get the BLT Lettuce Wraps and the Tuna Poke (if you like spice!)
Ashley KnightOctober 29, 2023
Loved the burrata, tuna poke, Brussels and cauliflower
JamesSeptember 23, 2021
Small plates wide variety of fresh food from around the world
Chris McCannAugust 9, 2020
Don’t order the grilled lobster, it looks like it was cooked at Chernobyl and had about three bites worth of meat in the tail. That’s $10/bite. Overall, found the food to be a little overrated.
Paul TuminaroMarch 18, 2017
The wine is good!
Ed SngAugust 6, 2016
The briyani was tasty!
Matt KarolianApril 6, 2018
It is loud and dark, portions are kinda hard to share.
LeeJuly 26, 2016
The Queen Corn was something special
Matt KarolianApril 15, 2018
The lighting and sound level are that of a nightclub.

OMFG: Cookie dough served on the beater!

Tasty but overpriced
Michal PalmonNovember 9, 2021
It was just ok. Nothing special
