Alden & Harlow: what do users think?
Nicole Naumoff Hodgson: Great service ! And lots of good food.
Saud: I tried their burger. One of the worst I ever had.Food: 1/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
Josiah Sinclair: Recommended dishes Burger, Crispy Pork BellyMore
Amir Tahmasebi: The menu seems very interesting but not all dishes are good. We tried kale salad which was good but pesto pasta was nothing special. The braised beef was also good but the smoked chocolate dessert was weird and disappointing. The prices are insane. It was good for one time try.Keep in mind parking is disaster around this place.
Winnie Zhang: I love this place!! My brother has always recommended Alden and Harlow to me, because they have rabbit on the menu. I’ve never tried rabbit but I definitely want to get it the next time I come here.I went to brunch with my friend here a couple weeks ago and the food was phenomenal.We got a french onion dip and the chips were so thin and airy (good thing to me lol), torched fruit (SO GOOD AND UNIQUE), french toast, and a steak tips (this was ok wouldn’t get again). All of their dishes are really unique, with different flavours blended together. Service was great. We wanted the donuts but I guess they overestimated the amount they had that day so we were able to have a complimentary cinnamon roll. Drinks were delicious.I put $50-100 per person bc it was just two people and we wanted to try multiple things.
Alexis Newman: Really delicious and unique dishes and drinks! We ordered a total of 5 dishes for 3 people and were certainly full by the end of it. The corn pancakes and basil pasta were the standout dishes of our night!Recommended dishes Seared Bluefin Crudo, Pickled Corn Pancakes …More

Cathal Harmon: Wasn't super impressed with the food or cocktail I chose but my companions were delighted with theirs. I'll have to give it a second chance to see if the other options are better

Ramit Bhalla: Where do I begin. I’ve been supremely impressed by this restaurant. The cocktails are very good. The service is outstanding. The food is amazing. The portions are small, keeping that in mind, we loved everything we ordered. It was tasteful, perfectly cooked, the texture was great and the presentation was excellent. If I had to pick something to say they could do better, I would pick the deserts. It was a little chewy and lacked the delicate flavors like the tapas were crafted. The pork belly wasn’t the best I’ve had but still a cut above. It lacked the melt in your mouth texture but was flavorful. This is a true gem the culinary disappointment called Boston.
Jacopo Movilli: Probably the best burger in Cambridge/Boston I have tried so far.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Classic Secret Burger, Burger …More

Alex Wurts: Tapas style, but very good food. I’ve gone with my wife a couple times and always enjoy it
Adam Perri: I went here for the five course wine pairing last Friday night and our waitress was amazing and so accommodating to an allergy we had. They redid the menu and Isaac the manager came by and was very attentive to us. The food was AMAZING and I highly recommend the wine / food option. Also this bottle of wine was fantastic!
Sam Anwar: Excellent food and service. Reasonable prices for the location, but most of the entrees are in very small portions, so if you're hungry, be prepared to ordered multiple plates. The one thing we did not appreciate is that even though we had a reservation for 5 people, we were seated on a long table that is shared with another party.
Alex Gammo: This is a really cool place with a twist on the typical restaurant style business. Their meals are smaller portions and meant to be shared. The waitress was very friendly and explained they recommend 3-4 dishes per person, which can get expensive. The food itself is all very good so you won't be disappointed if you go there with an open mind.
Victor Estrada: Two stars is for the disappointment of a place that is hyped for their burger and at 7:30pm they run out of it. Food was good but only if you are in the Cambridge area, not worth driving from downtown Boston. Had the brussels sprouts, local burrata, and roasted squash tagliatelle. Plus the smoked chocolate bread pudding and warm apple skillet, the latter much more recommended than the first.
Hamza Patel: Amazing service! From the minute we entered, a host gave my niece a colouring book to stay busy. The menu was explained very clear and the food came out in perfect order and in reasonable time. 4 adults shared 4 plates and we enjoyed every bite. One of the best New York strip steaks I’ve had eating in a restaurant. I will come back.

Oleana: what do users think?
Ignacio Perez: Great venue with a very high standard of service and food, while still being very relaxed. Love the unique wine selection.
Mel: Oleana is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Every dish is bursting with flavor and very creative. The waitstaff is always super nice and helpful, and while it may seem expensive, I think it's quite reasonable for what you get (especially when compared to other places in the area). We ALWAYS order the topik, fatteh, and sultans delight, but everything I've ever had here has been delicious. I couldn't speak more highly of Oleana - definitely go here!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. At least 50% of the menu is vegetarian or can be made vegetarian.
Anthony Maiorana: Everything about our experience here felt amazing. Our reservation was at 8 and we got seated relatively quickly even though we were a bit early. We had a cozy little table in the bar area.We did two tasting menus plus cocktails and a couple of other dishes and the vegetarian creativity at this restaurant absolutely blew us away. We felt so lucky for getting to eat here. Definitely worth going and spending some time here

Larry Slate: Great flavors. Portion sizes small as advised.
shrinidhi navale: Nice for a one time experience.The cold dishes were good. The baked alaska was extremely sweet for my taste.Really pricey for tiny portions.Parking available on street and in a lot across the restaurant.
Arthur Athanas: Wonderful dining experienceParking: Tricky but doable. Pay attention to the trafficWheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be fine. Entrance was a ramp
Ahmed Kamal: Hands down my favorite restaurant in Boston. Gives that “finally, something new” taste after every other run-of-the-mill restaurant. Great taste and texture to every dish I’ve tried. Also a good variety of dishes without deviating much from the cuisine.I tried their peer restaurant, Sarma, and it was really underwhelming. If you have to pick one, make sure it’s Oleana.
Max P: Came here on a double date and we shared a whole bunch of plates family-style. I don’t think there was a single plate that we didn’t enjoy. Will definitely be back!
Aude-Marie Alem: My fav restaurant in Cambridge so far.And I did plenty!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Joe Lillis: Wonderful restaurant!
Lauren Summers: The Moussaka was rolled up in the eggplant instead of like a lasagna. So flavorful and hard to make. Also loved the Fatteh. Haven't tried that dish before. Cozy bar and ambiance. Great wines too!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Fatteh …More

Icy Kendrick: First time at a Turkish restaurant and it was great. Lamb was a little salty though. I got a negroni and it was fine but I think a red wine would have gone better with the meal.

Zhe Gong: Made reservation more than three weeks ahead of time and went there for birthday dinner on a Thursday night at 830pm. The restaurant is small (elbow-to-elbow dining) and extremely noisy. The dishes we ordered were not bad (three spinach falafels, two quail meat bites, a few braised beef bites, lamb and cabbage bites, whipped feta, and baklava), however definitely not worth the price (three falafels for $14???), nor the hype. The service was slow. Overall it was not an enjoyable experience and I left super disappointed.If you are rich (or have a super tiny stomach) and get impressed easily, maybe this place is not too bad a choice.

Mark Sabalauskas: Affordable, fun placeFood: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Sandwich …More
Dig Time: Service is very questionable. We ordered drinks and just never received them. Sat for about 30 minutes. The young female bartender is very rude and not someone you want to interact with on a personal or professional level. Highly don’t recommend as there are a score of other places to go in the area for drinks. Wings were also dry as well.
Jaye Aster Broder: A go-to college pub, Grendel’s has a nice half-priced food happy hour from 5-7pm when you also order a drink. Grendel’sIs normally busy and a little loud. There are stairs down to enter. While in the basement, there are some windows that let light in. There is a moderate selection of beers on tap and cans as well as some simple cocktails. I would probably discourage large groups from coming here as it can be tough to find a table.
Samantha LaForgia: Decent after work spot! Reasonable priced. Some variety to the menu. Check it out if you want something quick and low key!
Matthew D. Jones: Varied menu prepared well. Huge bar selection. 50% off for early dinner offer is tremendous value.Recommended dishes Sandwich, Quesadilla …More

CJW: Bomb spot. Great divey, service industry hang. Rad folks, both those that work there as well as the people who frequent Grendel's. If Mal is on bar, get a green tea shot (Note: it contains alcohol), it is extremely tasty. Best part, it's tasty for any palette; it's not too sweet, not too sour/bitter, great complexities, and absolutely delicious flavour profile. Yummy! Nice bathrooms, good ambience, great music, and all around good energy vibes.As always, please don't forget to tip your servers and your bartenders, in addition to any and every one else that works to provide a wonderful experience for you. ©️ CJWVegetarian options: Various yummy vegetarian optionsParking: It's in Harvard Square so it's generally fairly difficult to find parking. I suggest using public transportation, or park outside of Harvard Sq. and enjoy a short walk to Grendel's. ©️CJW

Jordan Sandman: Best place in the world to work. Period.
Dan M: Pretty solid Harvard Sq Dive Bar with a scent and stickiness that always lingering. Maybe it’s because it’s in a basement. Anyhow they have a great patio set up in the summertime so I like to go then. Only thing is you need to order some food with drinks when dining out there.
Tom: Decent food, but the bartender looked/acted like he'd rather be anywhere else other than work, which I get, but c'mon guy.
Jan Haughey: we were looking for a spot to get dinner before a show at ART, and this was perfect. First time there. Our server was helpful and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised that the meal was half priced due to the time and drink order!

Asan Muhammed: Outstanding...there was something wrong...but I can't remember what it was, great food, cozy, cool in the basement on a very muggy boston day. reasonable prices, obvious menu (no questions like...what is that?). nice change from the attempts at foodie delights we have experienced in the past 37 hours. highly recommended.

Raphi Kang: We had an amazing experience planning & eating a group dinner at Pagu!

Daniel Hernandez: Skip this place.Service was great except every server filling our water managed to rest the bottle on our glass, then move on to the next table with the same bottle. Maybe I’m the only one grossed out by that?Overall the food was subpar.The duck confit just looks gross. It was very overcooked and flavorless. The squash purée was fine.My dining partner had the noodles with mushrooms. She enjoyed the noodles themselves. Flavor wasn’t there. Not spicy. Not umami. The sherry vinegar was the only thing you could taste. Maybe the pork would be better.The shishitos were good, hard to mess up. So was the tomato bread.This place must have gotten lost somewhere in between Japanese and Spanish (?) styles they were aiming for. It just didn’t do it for us. I like flavor and good food in general. Tapas is cool too but this place is not good. We had been excited to try it but decided to skip out after the first few awful dishes.

Xin Zhang: FoodOver priced food and nothing was great. The portion was shockingly small, so we basically ordered the whole menu.Everything elseThe service was good.
Daniella Diniz: Decided to give it a try since the restaurant was nominated for Beards Award and was disappointed. Food is blend, pricey and the restaurant doesn’t even have an impressive ambiance. Bao buns were dry and had less flavor than the $6 ones I buy at Trader Joes. Will not go back for that price.
Anshuman Swain: Really great food and service!The tapas plates are small yet awesome. The main course dishes are a decent size. Went with a large group and sampled through a lot. Most dishes and drinks were delicious.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Chicken Katsu, Bao …More

Brent Critchfield: I can't speak to the food, because my group wasn't allowed to eat there. If you visit this restaurant, be prepared to show written proof of double-vaccination. Simply explaining that you're vaccinated but don't have the card with you (because it's 2023 and nobody else requires it anymore), will result in you being shown to the door. Obviously every business is entitled to have their own rules, but customers are also entitled to go somewhere else. FWIW, the tacos across the street are awesome.

Justin Mueller: Held a birthday party with around 30 friends here, and they did a wonderful job securing a separate space of the restaurant for us. They booked us for 7-10pm, but allowed us to stay later without an additional charge. The food was good, especially the Ma Po Tofu and pork belly bao, and they accommodated allergies. The servers were very fast and attentive, and they cut and served the large cake we brought for no charge. Highly recommend Pagu for similar events!

Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar - Cambridge: what do users think?
Bijan S: Despite having a reservation at this restaurant, we were made to wait for 40 minutes. Finally, we were seated at a table behind the stairs that had a bad odor like feet. The chairs were dirty and even messed up my pants. I requested them to clean the chairs, but they did not show any concern. This was not the first time we experienced such poor service at this restaurant. During our previous visit, we faced a similar issue where we had to repeatedly ask for our drinks which arrived long after we finished our food.

Reynold Dodson: Mind boggling good restaurant! Every dish is a new experience, and always a good one. Service is great, even when very busy. My favorite place to eat North of the Charles.
Rajat Khadka: WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!! BE AWARE!!! DON’T GO THERE!!I was the regular customer there but from today onwards I will never go there again in my life. It was my sister birthday so made reservation for 8:30 but even with reservation they made us wait for 40 min and after that also they made us sit on high table since there was no table. If they can’t gives us table why the scenario of making reservations and wasting and ruining others night.We got table after waiting and agreeing to sit on high table and after that we gave order in 5 min and they made us wait for hour before they serve us even a glass of water. Server didn’t even came back to check. The other couple of table who came late then us left finishing dinner and we still were there waiting even for a glass of water. I had to yell and manager had to come before they serve us anything. It was horrible experience. If it wasn’t my sister birthday I would have left the restaurant. If you guys can’t give service don’t bother opening restaurant. Hosting was terrible. Managing was awful. I would have given negative star if there was option.BE AWARE BFORE MAKING RESERVATION There. Especially if u are trying to go there for some fun night and relax night. DON’T GO they will make you feel terrible.
Jen T: We've been here 5+ times over the last few years and the food just keeps getting better ! Excellent all around
Jiahao Wu: Best Cuban food I never had in BostonRecommended dishes Chicharrones, Yuca Frita, Guacamole Cubano …More
Jarvis Chen: Easily the best Cuban restaurant in the Boston area. Amazing dishes with tons of creativity, good drinks, charismatic staff. They are also a pretty large restaurant spanning two floors, so there is a good amount of space. The ambiance is definitely better on the main floor than in the bottom floor, so try to get a table on ground level.
BHAMA: Charming! Food quality is great... Really Enjoyed

michele harper: I had the wings they were great.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
J W G: Had breakfast there, while staying in the hotel.The waitress ignored us for about 10 min though we were the only in the queue waiting to be seated.We decided to take a seat ourselves.After another 10 min the lady who was to clean the tables brought us the menu.Also the cutlery was dirty.
Linda Barlaam: We had a private event at Bambara and we highly recommend. We were seated in a lovely private area of the restaurant.The food was delicious. Shout out to Andres our server for an outstanding job. We started with the wings and calamari.We appreciated that the calamari cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce. The beet salad, salmon and hanger steak were all amazing and the portions were quite large. The creme brulee and chocolate dipped fruit made for lovely ending to what was a terrific meal. We highly recommend this restaurant for your private celebrations!
Claire Walker: I had 4 meals here. All were great. The menu was restricted due to a staff event the first night, even so, the kitchen made an exception to serve some excellent oysters. Breakfasts were tasty and very generous. I had a classic one day and a salmon bagel the second day. The only thing I would say is that a little more cream cheese would have been good for the bagel. The lobster roll was generous and well cooked. I really liked the hot or cold option.

Andrea Perez: Nov 2022, Chef Adam Resnick kindly brought the dish out himself and I proceeded to enjoy one of the most delicious meals of my life! I wish I knew what this dish was called, it was special for charity so I am unable to find it on the menu. Everything we ordered was so yummy! Sauce for the oysters, burger, fries, etc. The tostones were perfect, the sauce was perfect, I wish I could be transported back!
Court Noyes: Bambara is the epitome of approachable 6 Fine Dining with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, and Peter (our Server) is the best when it comes to amazing expert recommendations and knowledgeable insights into the different dishes on the menu. I highly recommend both the swordfish and the steak and my partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed the oysters and the clam chowder to start.I also want to remind people that oysters are two for $3 between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and while we did not take advantage of this since we ate later in the evening on Valentine's Day, the oysters were still amazing. Fresh and local from Barnstable!The sides are generous, and we enjoyed the fingerling potatoes delicata squash anymore taking some of the sides home.The food is elevated, customizable and also quite delicious.If you are in the area, whether it be at MIT just across the river in Boston, for passing through the area, I highly recommend asking for Peter at them Bambara restaurant. When you call you may get John, who I believe is one of the managers, and handles everything deftly making all dinner and hotel guests feel welcome.Hot tip: ask for one of the booths! Very romantic if you are looking for that.Drinks are sublime - ask about the Old Fashioned and also the bartender's favorites.Oh and don't skip when it comes to dessert! Creme brulee bananas over a chocolate mousse with oatmeal cookies finished off the evening - elevated presentation and delicious!Don't think twice - just make a reservation or walk in and know you are in for a great night!!Vegetarian options: Many optionsKid-friendliness: The team is ready to assist families.Parking: Parking through Kimpton Marlowe Hotel. $25-$45Wheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Every item (as far as I know) can be customized.
Sam Childs: Food was great, and bartender was very friendly – great drinks!

Mary B: What a lovely restaurant! Stopped here on our way to the science museum and didn't regret it. The food was incredible-- you could really tell the head chef and kitchen staff are artists. Everything tasted as good as it looked (which was consistently beautiful). Drinks were good-- highly recommend the pesto arancini, they were mind blowing.
Herm Trepesch: Great vibe
Christopher Lawrence: Great ambiance. Table attendant Katherine was very helpful and welcoming. Great spot to grab a quality breakfast/brunch. Flavors were amazing. Breakfast sandwich and oatmeal were our favorites.
Ezekiel Waisel: Food and service was excellent. Decided to try this place on date night and every option we had was delicious. Ate the hummus plate, pesto arancini, and salmon entree
Silpa Das: Nice place for a team dinner
James Francis: Vegetarian options: Healthy.Parking: Easy valet parking . . Friendly service.
Barbara Shoplock: Close, Convenient and great for that reason. Pasta was wonderful! The rest was just ok...
Christian Hill: Great oysters, salmon with succotash and service - not overpriced at all
Ben Ashman: booth seat was sunken in, piece of vegetable on the seat, table sticky, air control bad on a hot day, soup not good, drink too strong, pasta ok
Andrew and Renee Seaman: The service was really slow and we had to wait 15 minutes to get in and there was only 5 tables full

Kate: Really bad food and service experience. Vegetables in the tagine were definitely frozen peas and carrots from a grocery store. Lamb tagine was sickly sweet. They need to hire more staff and improve quality of food.
Adam Assiraj: Amazing food!! I’m Moroccan and usually never go to Moroccan restaurants but my friend insisted I come here and can’t get over how good the food is. Highly recommend it! Chicken bastilla and lamb tagine are something else!

Sergio Solis Checa: It started really well with great small plates that we took as starters, which set high expectations for large plates. However, main were nowhere close to the level of the starters, we had salmon and couscous.The place itself is quite simple but cozy, so no complaints, but nothing special as well.The service is super friendly, but a little slow, and I didn't like that they automatically add 18% gratuity, and then list extra space for tip on top of the gratuity
Trent: The food (chicken tagine, lamb tagine) was under seasoned and underwhelming.
Arindam Samanta: We enjoy a number of dishes here, including the lamb, salmon tajines, as well as the fresh sherbets.Recommended dishes Chicken Tajine, Tagine of Lamb Shank, Lamb Tajine …More
Tim Carter: Best meal I've had in ages! The calamari starter was a def. highlight - very light coating and perfectly cooked with a slightly spicy sauce - Double Yum!!
Othin Ram: food is just okay.would've given negative review given the chance. They didn't serve the drinks we ordered but added in the bill. over charged for the item. in total I had to ask them thrice to change the bill. with the terrible service I had no intention to add good tip but they added 18% already.we're the first group to be in that restaurant and for 30 mins no one was there. their response was really rude and I had a terrible experience when I came here along with my parents.when I asked them about terrible service they told they're busy. Omar (manager) response was we've only ordered 2 entrees. We're group of 4 and we've ordered 2 small plates and 3 entrees and made $175 bill. The way they've responded was so mean and rude. I regret going to this place.

Craigie On Main: what do users think?
Sherif Gerges: Tasty, portions are pretty small. One of the better restaurants in Cambridge/Boston.
Ephraim Eugene: Best ever.Please come back!To Megan Davis...you came to burger restaurant to eat vegies??? Smh get a life
Karen Messick: The Craigie Burger.....that's all that needs to be said.
Sandy M: Craigie Next Door is a great outside dining option. The food is fantastic, atmosphere is comfortable. Very enjoyable. Can't wait to return!
Meggan Davis: Came here for the first time and, after hearing lots of good things, were pretty disappointed. All around, food was good, but not excellent, and there was a general lack of thoughtfulness for the diner’s experience.We did the vegetarian tasting menu. We started with a beet hummus that was a wonderful color, but served with a total of six vegetable bites, and the cauliflower was too big to dip into the jar of hummus. Not a big deal if not for contributing to the “lack of attention” theme.The big disappointment was that the vegetarian main was a heap of blackened vegetables. They were farm fresh and tasted good enough, for sure, but to serve a pile of vegetables as a main shows a real lack of creativity. They even served it with the sauce that was meant for the meat main (a plum-like sauce, for duck), as if grilled zucchini and duck have the same flavor profile. Felt like being a vegetarian at a large catered event where your only choice is grilled vegetables or portobello—so they can just do the same thing to the vegetables that they do to the meat. For ~$125 a head, I’d expect something that felt less like an accommodation and more intentional.Another lack-of-attention detail was that we spent the evening listening to the kitchen’s music, which was more Tony Hawk skate jam than outdoor fine dining. Nothing wrong with the music per se, just doesn’t match the vibe at all.The wine, however, was delicious, and our waitress was quite attentive—so the meal had lots of redeeming features. I think maybe if I’d paid half the price and hadn’t been sold a “fine dining” experience, it would have been perfectly good. It just didn’t meet its own expectations.
Dave S: My favorite restaurant anywhere, including my own state of Rhode Island and my hometown of NYC. I have often driven the 1 1/2 hour trip just to have dinner at Craigie and then go back home afterwards. Tony Maws is a very talented chef. I never order off the menu. I just sit down and order whatever he is making that night (the Chef's Whim?) and have never been disappointed. I wouldn't dare do that anywhere else. Even the food items that include ingredients that I don't ordinarily like, are delicious. They are also serve one of my favorite scotches and no other restaurant has it. You cannot go wrong at Craigie. It's alittle pricey but it's worth every cent, and I'm not great at spending money.
Kevin Karch: They don't oversalt nothin
David Martinez: Great atmosphere food was exceptional
Emily Washburn: Exceptional service from start to finish with our server Max! Although some of the menu was a little out of my comfort zone(bluefish pate and duck) because everything was so well prepared and delicious that it was easy to enjoy our whole meal and explore something new!
Ronnie Mcd: a bit overpriced, but its hard to find a place like this in cambridge
ziyad Aldegaither: The Burger is amazing. The fries are superb. Everything is great in terms of quality of food. This is Howe I remember it at least, last time I ordered from them was 6 months ago. I have been trying to get an order in for the past two months. The new online pick up system is awful. I try to plan ahead of time before things sell out but the system doesn’t update until the day off ordering. I hope management sees my concern and know that I am a loyal customer that have been trying very hard to get food from your business. However you’re making it harder for me to stay as a customer. The food is great, I’m not sure about the service anymore.
Michael Kenney: The burger is worth the publicity, the rest of it feels a little precious but I continue to come back for that burger. Chef’s kiss.
Richard Trilles: My Favorite restaurant!!
Yegor Smurnyy: Went to pick up food on New Year eve and the line was unreasonably long, 20 mins, could be organized much better
Eric Connors: Only the second time I've been able to enjoy this place and the food was truly exceptional just like last time. I can only imagine how much better it would have been if we have eaten at the restaurant, no fault of theirs of course. I will eat here every chance I get!! Tony, thank you and I hope you make it through these tough times!
Tony Darosa: Never open
Laura Scrimgeour: The outdoor dining experience is really phenomenal - they did such a lovely job with the decor and the sparkling lights! The food is of course just as spectacular as always - Tony Maws is quite the master chef!
Elizabeth Tassinari: was so looking forward to chegs whim and i wasnt disappointed! the food was excellent!
Caroline Luis: Love this wonderful restaurant. The burger is always worth the hype. The ever-changing menu never fails to bring wonderful ingredients to the table full of flavor and beautifully presented.The Craigie Next Door patio is an awesome response to the limitations from the pandemic, and the food lives up to the restaurant’s reputation from before.
Danah: Amazing experience definitely a must
Susan Russell: Ordered Chef's Whim tonight. After weeks of cooking at home, it is clear why it's called "Chef's" whim. Our meal exceeded expectations (for take out) and reinforced how much we enjoy Tony Maw's culinary skills. And we have enough left for lunch tomorrow. Thank you for a delicious dinner!

Alexis Bradshaw: No hospitality whatsoever. First two items we ordered were great: calamari and blt lettuce wraps. Then it went downhill. Tostada was so hard I almost broke my tooth. Empanada was sooooo salty I chugged a glass of water. Branzino was sooo fishy. Didn’t say anything and left the food untouched. Bar staff didn’t care to inquire. And then watched kitchen employee stretch, touch their toes, grab bottom of feet and then wipe their mouth and face and continue to serve food. Yuck!
John St. Amand: Love this placeScallop ceviche is killerWontons, Street Noodles, Oysters, Burger are amazingBar and bartenders are the bestAlex and the staff ruleAlways busy because is greatGo and enjoy

Daphne Doron: I ordered one of their salads take away. It was disgusting! And we are regulars and love the food here. The salad was obviously pre-made and drenched in dressing and completely soggy. I wrote twice to complain and called and nothing was done, and no one got back to me. Needless to say, this would be the last time they will be seeing us!

Evanna Hines: Loved everything we had. The seat they put us in was a little tight but they did get us seated quickly. Loved the waiter and he gave good recommendations. The star of the show was actually the whipped cream that came with the cookie dough, it was interesting and had us talking about it for days later.
Jonathan Lieberman: Good food for decent prices. Lots of different fusion types of servings that are good to share amongst several people. Definitely a bar type of atmosphere, so expect higher volumes etc if you’re sensitive to it. Cocktails are interesting spins on some classics.Recommended dishes Bangkok Street Noodles, Empanada …More

Nicole K: The food is very overpriced for what you get in quantity and quality. Nice atmosphere, but would not go there again. I got the salmon ceviche and it was just big chunks of salmon thrown together with some herbs and jalapeños. Not worth it. The Turkish ravioli were good, but again not worth $20.Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Orinoco Harvard Square: what do users think?
William Weber: Excellent vibe with friendly staff. The food was good, especially the ribs! Arepas are good, but won’t blow your mind. Could be a little more moist and the white sauce was quite garlicky. Yet we enjoyed our time and it’s a great find for Harvard square

Shiran Soholitsky: Cute little restaurant on a sided street, feels like a family restaurant. I liked the design of the restaurant that felt very authentic.The food is delicious, very tasty empenda and steak.The only thing that bothered me was that I got the feeling that we were rushed to leave.We barely finished what was on our plates and served the bill.Besides that experience, this is a great place to eat, especially with family, in my opinion.

Richard C: Authentic, homey, delicious Venezuelan food. The environment is cozy and the staff is very friendly. Love bringing friends and family here.
P S: Cost little restaurant with absolutely amazing empanadas!The only catch with this place is that it closes too early.
Curt Raffi: Intimate, awesome and authentic... Tucked in a side alley right off of JFK Street in Harvard Square, Orinoco serves authentic Venezuelan food and serves it in an intimate and personal way. It's a perfect place to go on a cold winter's night to connect with friends and enjoy some wonderful food.

Everything was delicious. If you're still trying to decide where to go for dinner, and you aren't veg, try it out.
Tim Sheng: gorgeous Latino foods had off harvard campus! they are truly representing the culture and arts! must go there again.
NISHAT NYC: The food was good, but the man who was training a waitress was very rude. 3 of us went last Saturday, August 20th, 2022. We asked this person for menu and specials, he was very mean. It’s not a nice environment to have a mean server :(
Marina Mozak: Good food, pretty place. But there was a really bad smell while we were there.
