    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.

    We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
