Neighbourhood gem

Mothership is a familiar neighborhood hang. Mothership is a place where you can gather with your co-workers after a long day or skip the cooking at home and bring the whole family in. Shareable appetizers for the table, healthy and allergen-friendly options, or a homestyle classic. All are paired with good vibes + beverage options that suit everyone. Whether you're coming with the crew or watching the game at the bar by yourself, we’re your second living room; a place to hang.

Free parking is available to all Mothership guests at 140 Cambridgepark Drive. Take the first left after Mothership, and you will see a parking garage on the left. Simply press the intercom button, and let them know you are a guest of Mothership for entrance!

Amazing evening at Mothership! I’m not gluten free but my friend is and it was nice to be able to order anything off the menu and share it! She didn’t have to worry which made it even better. Excellent service and the food was delicious- I didn’t even notice the absence of gluten! I hope you do this again!

Service was good and the vibes were nice. The food was decent but overwhelmingly salty. I don't recall it being this way the last time I had dinner there, so I was surprised, but every single dish we had was extremely salty across the board.

We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was not crowded - I think because it hasn't yet been discovered as it's off the beaten path, tucked behind the Alewife T station amidst the apartment buildings there. They have a lovely ambience with spacious outdoor seating and a fire pit as well as a spacious indoor dining area that doesn't make you feel crowded next to strangers. The restaurant offers a small menu but with very interesting flavor combinations - especially among their house cocktails - and there was something for everyone (vegetarian or carnivore). We ended up splitting several shareable plates and each one was a winner. And all of the servers were pleasant and attentive. It's now on our list of go-to places.
