ReemaSeptember 13, 2019Went there for dinner. Ordered the margarita pizza, roasted chicken and the salmon..all were below average
David P.August 29, 2010I want to take the charcuterie plate out back and get it pregnant. It's that good.
Cole TJune 19, 2017Okay oysters, decent food. Beer list was average for Boston. Pricey for what you get!
Matthew KearneyMarch 8, 2011They tend to undercook the meat so ask for it more well done than you usually would
My fav drink: Southside. Must try: the charcuterie platter.
Sam MallikarjunanJune 10, 2012Loses points for only allowing dogs on the outside tables, but good place overall.
AceNovember 13, 2011The leaf salad add shrimp will ring in as $17 when it says $15 in the menu. BEWARE ! And ask the manager to correct it while they rip everyone else off.
Jeremy ComeauMay 10, 2010Had my first raw oyster here...food and service both excellent! Can't wait for round two!

"A favorite "dive" in Cambridge. Kitchen is open late, food is great, but make sure you get there early if they have a favorite beer on tap. Best kegs get kicked early."

"Amazing food in the area. There's also some specialty shops if you're looking for gifts"
Alexandra Mottern - 7.6
"Get the upper classic if you want a fantastic burger that has bacon on it. Otherwise, their double cheeseburger is also the bomb."
Kat Moss - 8.8
"Great new venue for anal shows, and a small but exclusive collection of whiskies and bourbon in the main bar. I'd go back again for sure!"
