The Merchant is a big space that served for more than a century as a leather store. We've brought in high-top tables near the windows ... a 40-foot bar on one side of the room … and more formal dining spots on the opposite side. We have a private dining room in back, and another private dining room downstairs. For our menu, we make almost all of our fare from scratch. Executive chef Ignacio Lopez previously worked at both Beat Hotel in Cambridge and Tuscan Kitchen in Burlington. Chef Lopez cures and smokes all the meat in house. Our burger is top-notch, as are other dishes like house-made Gnochhi, Organic Chicken Milanaise and Steak Frites. The Merchant serves salads, sandwiches ($15-$21), and more for the lunch rush. And for dinner, we are a full-service brasserie (with most entrees ranging from $25-$30). The bar has 30+ rotating beers on tap, many of them locally brewed, plus a full selection of craft cocktails to serve our patrons, including the after-work crowd.

Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination.

They’ve brought together their love of great food, easy hospitality and chic vibes to create a lively space that is welcoming to all looking for a memorable meal. With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. A fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.We're currently serving a Prix Fixe menu for all reservations.

    la Fabrica was amazing. I had stayed on the book g that it was our anniversary. We were celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary and they brought us two glasses of champagne when we sat down. Completely unexpected. The service was great. The food was amazing. We realized that they had a night club in the back and we had inquired about it in case it was cash only for the entrance so we can prepare and they gave us free access to enjoy our anniversary night. Really did make it memorable and so special for us. We appreciated the entire experience. Thank you All!

    Fabulous dining experience for my husband’s birthday. Not only did the staff present us with custom printed HBD menus, but they also brought dessert and cava gratis. The food and cocktails were delicious. Don’t miss the cacio e pepe ramen. Somehow it’s nostalgic and modern all at once!

    Pizza was over-the-top superior. Staff so welcoming and accommodating. Our party asked to move outside; they easily allowed, and course corrected. I would so patronize this wonderful place again. Next, abutting that stunning Quad as it does was such a bonus too. I only wish I had patronized before. A gem near my work that I should have gone to before. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Great experience.
