We enjoyed dining at the chef’s counter last night. Disneyland for foodies…if you enjoy watching a professional culinary team go about its work calmly and quietly, then this is a great experience. Everything we had was incredibly delicious. Sam presented each dish to us and so we understood the creative process and overall technique. Of course, sitting there eating the prix fixe and then seeing other things come just made want to order those as well! Service with a genuine smile and among the most creative food in Cambridge. We will certainly be back. What a great place!

The menu is very appealing and the service was excellent. The nonalcoholic drinks were scrumptious and complimented the meal. The cheesecake was unique and delicious. It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I’ll definitely go back.

Service was outstanding. Waitress was lovely and helpful, and when we were splitting dishes, they came out of the kitchen in separate plates, with lovely presentation. Beet salad was excellent, as was the burger. Wish there were more beers on tap, but the selection of local brews was great. Altogether a lovely evening and fine meal.
