    Kyklos Moschofilero 2023
    Marc S.

    What can I add to my previous reviews? How about an amazing white wine option for summer outdoor dining. Enjoyed the Kyklos Moschofilero 2023 white wine with lunch special Chicken Souvlaki and the always-amazing house Greek Salad. Wine was light and fruity, perfect for a hot day on the patio for lunch. Service was prompt and courteous as always, and appreciated the wine recommendation.

    Great vibe during dinner hours. I enjoyed my wine and food. I got the shrimp designs and hummus. Nice portion. Flavor was okay but I appreciate that the seasoning is in general on the lighter side

    Grilled Octopus
    Shaun L.

    We were in the Cambridge area and wanted to try a new place. The place was pretty busy for a Thursday night with all of the outdoor seats occupied and half the inside was full. We decided to sit at the bar because wifey wanted a few drinks and the bartender makes a mean mojito. They had a small beer selection, nothing too interesting. Onto the food, the grilled octopus was good, maybe slightly over cooked but I had an issue with it seeming a bit salty. They were very generous with the lemon, so maybe it was confusing my palate. Wifey got the whole sea bass which was deboned, and it was delicious! Moist, and tasted fresh. Something to come back for. The baked lamb was very good but the fish was easily the best dish. I think it could've used more potato or some veggie to round out the dish. Overall, next time we are in the area we will definitely stop by for a mojito and fish!

    Fried Zucchini
    Lauren R.

    I am a huge fan of Greek food and have heard great things about Desfina so decided to check it out! Overall, we had a good experience. The location was great with some parking and it was nice inside. The service was excellent and we got our food very quickly. The greek dressing they give with the bread is amazing, I want to buy a bottle for myself! Our food was just ok. Wish the fried zucchini was a little less greasy and the gyro had more flavor. But overall, a good Greek option.

    We were looking for a late night spot to grab drinks after a show at The Garden. Thankfully Warren…read moreTavern was open until 1am and was the perfect spot. I loved the historical aspect of it and the fact it has so much history including George Washington having drinks here. Have to love the historical buildings that have been in operation for so long in the New England region. At least late at night it had dive bar vibes and had more people than I expected for a late night Monday. We grabbed a table for our party of 5 and bartender brought us the drinks menus. They had a great variety available and we all were able to enjoy two drinks before they closed. My wife enjoyed two blood orange margaritas and I had a grey tea old fashioned and a take on an espresso martini that featured an addition of Guinness in it. All of the cocktails were well made with friendly service from the bartender. Due to stopping in for late night drinks I cannot speak to the food. I would definitely return for both the drinks and overall vibes. Our entire party loved the music selection being played too. Worth your time to visit for sure!

It felt like history the moment we walked in: cozy, warmly lit, with worn wood that's clearly seen centuries. Our server, Cookie, was a gem- he was pleasant and attentive without hovering. Food-wise, it was mostly a miss. The oysters (which we found out were from NY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) were puny. My kid's clam chowder- that's made without bacon was too thick and floury. The fried calamari, though, had a standout tangy, spicy glaze that we loved- but the coating was on the thick side. The vibe is nice as was the service- just wished the food was better.

Cozy little spot with a pizza oven and an open kitchen (elite combo). Plenty of seating. I went for a weekday dinner and was served instantly. Started with the oyster bombs ($17 for 3) because oyster + tuna is a power couple. Fresh, creamy, perfectly seasoned with mayo and chives...gone in 30 seconds. My server convinced me to get the spicy clam, and it was devoured so fast. It was gone before he filled my water! Packed with clam meat, drowning in tomato sauce, and it actually had heat --not that "we waved a chili at it" kind of spicy. I fully intended to have some for the next day and then aggressively did not. Final verdict: cozy vibes, bold flavors, zero self-control, and I will absolutely be back.

Huge shoutout to Eduardo, the manager, who went above and beyond to make our sisters holiday outing feel special and intentional, and to our server Paulina, who was attentive, warm, and truly wanted everything to be perfect. And it was. Let's talk ambiance first because whew. Chic. Stylish. Aesthetic on aesthetic. Even the walk to the bathroom felt curated. Ladies... the mirror alone deserves a moment. Full body selfie approved. Now the drinks. The mocktail I had was SO good. Balanced, flavorful, refreshing. I like a mocktail that has flavor and layers without being super sweet. The apps thoughhhhhh! They deserve their own paragraph because baby... The crab rangoon was TO DIE FOR. That old school wrap dough situation? I have been hunting for that exact texture and flavor forever. My fave restaurant switched dough and I haven't had a good Rangoon since then until now. It was crispy, nostalgic, and perfect. The fried egg rolls? Delicious. The pickled cucumbers? Bright and refreshing and er literally ate every drop, lol. But the WINNER... those fall off the bone ribs. I might have made a sound when I bit into them. Cooked to perfection. A full blown flavor party in my mouth. The scallion pancakes were the only thing that did not hit for me. The dough was thicker and heavier than I prefer. I love mine light and airy like traditional scallion pancakes. If they leaned that way I would have been obsessed. Our main courses... baybeeee The Dan Dan noodles... I did not even get a bite. I went to ask my sister for a taste and they were GONE. All of them. That says everything. My other sister loved the dumplings and even more that they fried them for her instead of serving them traditionally. And the sauce with those dumplings... Let me tell you about the sauce. I am OBSESSED. I took some home and Eduardo generously gave me more to take. That is top tier service and an at home sauce party, lol. My fried house rice was excellent. The mix of veggies and flavors was perfection. With everything else we ordered I could not even finish it. And then... dessert. Eduardo and Paulina surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake that was so light and decadent, topped with fruit and homemade whipped cream. Next time I am absolutely saving space for that. The customer service was truly top tier. The decor, the food, the staff, the background music. Everything PERFECT. My sisters and I sat for hours. We laughed. We ate. We shared emotions. We were present. That alone tells you how comfortable and welcoming this space is. I would go back today. I cannot wait to bring my husband and some of my fellow foodies.

Trendy downtempo/chill-out music, showy decor, and a clean modern appearance, yet there were only two other patrons on a Saturday evening. But the food is where the rubber meets the road, and the food here was mediocre. Ordered the sushi bites and tuna tacos and everything was slathered in sauces that were over-flavored and not prepared with any sort of light touch. The place is trying hard to be hip, trendy, and fancy, but is somehow out of touch with that subtle X-factor that makes a restaurant stand out. The kicker was that I got food poisoning within an hour of eating. Maybe the tiger was lucky, but I was not so lucky.
