Season to Taste: what do users think?
Celeste McGinty: Perfect place and nice location.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Gas Station Fried Quail …More
Farah Ansari: So unfortunately I found this place underwhelming for the price spent, I felt I was paying for the atmosphere more than the food (which it's a lovely place). My party ordered the arancini, tuna crudo, gas station Quail, and cajun shrimp and grits. Overall, we felt majority of dishes lacked seasoning and a flavor profile. The arancini base was crab filled and although I smelled it, I did not taste any crab. The crudo had a nice base for sauce but the amount totalled 4 small pieces which okay fine but it did not leave any want for more. The shrimp were well cooked for the entree but the grits felt bland with barley any Cajun seasonin, and as for the gas station Quail, it felt like a small dressed up version of fried chicken with sides, though the coleslaw was redeeming. The drinks were very nice and the staff were great. Would be curious to try the beef tartar and other cocktails but that's all.
Kate Froehlich: Absolutely delicious meal. Had a great time here. My only note is that the bar stools are not suitable for plus size patrons - I’m a size 22 and was unable to sit comfortably.

Meghrik Assadourian: We had an amazing dining experience last night at Season to Taste! Finally i can say I have experienced good dining in Boston/Cambridge area. We ordered 5 of the appetizers and 2 main dishes and shared among 4 people. Everything was beautifully plated and seasoned to taste ;)Drinks were also tasty. Will go back again soon.
Andrew Nilson: I try to reserve 5 stars for only the restaurants that stand out and this sure does. We ordered the Mahi and the Pork loin. For an appetizer we enjoyed the pork belly. Two incredibly different meals in taste and presentation both both outstandingly good. If I could rate the cocktails I would rate them 4 stars mostly because none caught my attention when perusing the menu. However after a shot and a miss, they brought me something I did enjoy for the evening and tasted great. Would go back anytime.
Davina C: Great food and great service!
Steve Ansell: Very consistent out, very good, not haut cuisine but imaginative and well balanced menu, good wine selection and service.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Dark Chocolate Bavarois …More
Michael W: My date reservations fell through at a nearby restaurant and when we went to Season to Taste they were at full capacity, so they literally put us at a table in the kitchen. Our waiter was exceptional, the drinks were great, and the food was unreal. The chef is interactive with his guests and gave us a personal description of each dish.For any gluten free people out there, they are knowledgeable and can make the majority of dishes gluten free.
Linda Loz: We came here for out anniversary just bc we wanted a place where ppl actually said there was good food.. and everyone was right!! All the starters were so amazing we decided to have 3 and the fact that the drinks are well balanced and excellently prepared! 12 out of 10 would recommend! Even service was great!! The gm eventook the time ro introduce himself! I wish they continue to grow and can't wait to see it happen!Vegetarian options: Didn't have but they're on the menu and the looked and smelled delish
Zeno Doeleman: Food was outstanding, hitting every note one could want, creating an all inclusive dinner experience through taste, texture, visual and aroma. The favorite at the table was the pork belly and tuna fine crudo, which blended hearty flavor with light texture and zest. The two made a phenomenal paring. We didn’t order any of the mains because the variety of appetizers were so appealing, tasty and frankly, filling.Staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional and cozy.Rob the owner personally made sure we were enjoying ourselves and explained the thoughts behind a few of the dishes, creating such a personal experience that it was hard not to feel like you were in his personal kitchen.In an ever expanding sea of restaurants in Cambridge, all with different taste and ideas, Season to Taste has found a way to nail everything you would want while dinning out. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Jayson Hreczuck: Outstanding! My wife and I came here for a birthday dinner and were not disappointed. Small menu with seasonal items, in farm to table style. I had the Gas Station Fried Quail and the wife had Creole Spiced Mahi, both came highly recommended.Do not miss this gem of Cambridge.
Rob Harvey: One of the premier, must-hit spots to eat in Cambridge. The chef and staff are amazing and surely will deliver a culinary experience you won’t forget!
Sadie Harrison: A well-deserved 5 star rating!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Tara T: We had such a wonderful meal at Season to Taste! We shared a few small plates and 2 mains and all were delicious. The buffalo brussel sprouts, burrata with acorn squash, and tuna crudo were all favorites. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared. The staff and owner were lovely. A great night out - would highly recommend!Recommended dishes House-Made Potato Gnocchi, Yellowfin Tuna Crudo …More
Courtney Wong: Pretty phenomenal food, generous portions, in a fancy setting, for a very reasonable price.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Camille Brunetti: This is a great new restaurant—frankly too nice to just be plopped on Mass Ave! Nice atmosphere and and the community table was a fun experience. The drinks were delicious, and the food was great! The chef was so friendly and lovely to speak with. He sent out an extra dish—the Parisian Gnocchi, so good—as an apology for our food coming out too quickly (one dish got there before our drinks). The gas station quail was great but the beef tartare and the gnocchi were great! The crème brûlée (pictured) was amazing!
Luke Craig: If I could give them six stars I would! Season to Taste is everything a higher end restaurant should be. Although most entrees orbit the $30 price range, and usually in my reviews I never see a meal as worth that much, here they are. Not only is the food seasoned perfectly (as one would guess from the name) but the portions are actually really good. This isn't a place you pay $30 for two bites of well cooked lobster, you actually get a full delicious and satisfying meal. And when I say things are well cooked and seasoned, I mean it. I have had steak tartar and lobster many times, and I hated them every time, thought they were absolutely disgusting. My boyfriend got the steak tartar appetizer and the lobster entree and I tried both, and I loved them! They were so flavorful and the textures were perfect. The pork belly appetizer and blue fish entree I got were wonderful, each with an amazing kaleidoscope of flavors. I absolutely recommend this place, I'd try anything on their menu.--UPDATE--Just came back to try the new place and it's still just as good! Only gripe was a tried the bone marrow app and it was a very tiny amount of bone marrow. Granted, this was my first time eating bone marrow anywhere, so maybe that amount is the norm 🤷
Sudarshana Chanda: Their namesake in North Cambridge used to be one of my top 5 restaurants in the Boston area. The food was amazing and the service was memorable. This new restaurant, unfortunately, has nothing in common with it except the name (and the owner, as we learnt later).I went to celebrate my birthday and ended up leaving thoroughly disappointed and without ordering dessert as we had initially planned.The staff is probably really busy, so we want to be empathetic to that, but they ignored us for a while, instead turning their attention to a couple who arrived after us (perhaps they looked better dressed than us?).When they finally did take our order, my partner asked for a cocktail recommendation - something sweet and creamy, and our server suggested sultana swing, a cocktail that turned out to be not creamy in the slightest and extremely strong. My cocktail, night at the opera, was good.The dishes-Tuna crudo (1 star, didn't even taste like fish, and was incredibly bitter.)Beef tartare (2 stars, tasted odd)Carrots (2 stars, honestly I used to love this dish at their old place but even this tasted completely mediocre and plasticky)Burrata (3 stars, the flavors were good but it was much too cold. Burrata is best served at room temperature)At the end I asked if there was a change from the old management and was told that everything except the owner had changed. Yep. That is evident.Given that I live steps away I was thrilled when I first saw their name here and excited to patronize a local restaurant, but alas, that is not to be. You're better off taking a few more steps and going to Barcelona Wine Bar where the food is better and the service is warm, friendly, and attentive.
Jon C.: Was a big fan of the original location so I was very excited to try the new location once open. Unfortunately, it definitely seems like the magic is gone. The new space is much larger, taking away from the intimacy and ambiance from the first location. The food was at best average and the staff was working hard to keep up with the much larger space with many more tables to serve.Not a bad restaurant but pales in comparison to what it used to be.
