We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me. My husband doesn't love curry but he loves these fries and you will too. #friesaretodiefor Moon Bar, thanks for being amazing in every way. Thanks for your splendid service, crafty cocktails, delicious wine (try the Pinot Noir from Germany), and your amazing food ---Love those Curry Fries! "Alexa, make reservations for 2 at Moon Bar for tonight." Cheers~

The great palm and golden colada were my favorite. They were both sweet with a tangy aftertaste. The roasted cauliflower was very flavorful. It was heavy on the sauce which was great and loved the crunch of the cashews. The tandoori chicken was my favorite. It was very juicy and tender chicken marinated well. The curly fires had a great masala seasoning. The yogurt based was my favorite to dip into. The staff were excellent with frequent check in and quick service. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

The entire menu is gluten free but even if it wasn't, this place easily competes with regular bakeries. The ube brownie is dense, silky, and fudge-like. The sugar and ube are potent and attack you it's perfect for a sweet tooth though I strongly recommend with cold brew. The flavor is so sweet that I couldn't finish the block! Can easily be shared for 2 I came here for the chocolate chip cookie. Thin, crisped at the edges by the sugar, no shortage of ooey gooey chips in the middle. The line wraps around the baked goods window. I like the open concept kitchen and the service is efficient. Gives you time to see what you want and change your mind, especially if something comes out fresh. The breakfast menu stops at 11am but even their premade baguette sandwiches were delicious. Highly recommend a hot sandwich. Lastly, seating is tight but it is ample. It seems like there are waves of crowds. If visiting at a busier time, might be a good idea to have a friend hold a table while you get in line to place the order. What a great start to Boston :) Thank you!

Verveine Cafe and Bakery is a fully gluten free bakery in Cambridge that makes the concept feel…read morecompletely beside the point within about thirty seconds of your first bite. We walked into a space that fills up quickly during peak hours, with a cozy, welcoming layout that feels more like a neighborhood cafe than a specialty health shop. The fact that everything on the menu is gluten free stops registering quickly because the quality of the baking stands on its own without needing the qualifier. The ube brownie is a popular item for good reason. It is soft and rich in a way that holds up against any brownie regardless of how it is made, and the ube flavor adds a layer of depth that makes it more interesting than a standard chocolate version. The cinnamon roll is another standout, and the cookies across the board, particularly the peanut butter miso and the chocolate chip, land with a texture and flavor that most bakeries with no dietary restrictions cannot match. The congee is worth knowing about if you want something savory, warming and well seasoned with enough flexibility in the toppings to make it feel like a complete meal rather than an afterthought on an otherwise sweet focused menu. Prices run on the higher side, which is the most common hesitation, but the quality of the ingredients and the execution justify most of it. Lines can get long during peak hours and the space fills up quickly, so coming earlier or during a slower window makes the experience easier. Staff are warm and knowledgeable, happy to walk you through the menu and offer recommendations without any pressure. For a gluten free bakery experience, Verveine is the best in the Boston area without much of a debate. For a bakery experience in general, it holds its own. We would come back for the ube brownie and a cinnamon roll, and we would plan to arrive before the midday rush.

She was so excited when she found Cafe Bonjour because they had several gluten-free options on the menu. We took an Uber there right after we landed and were able to walk right in and get a table when they opened, which worked out perfectly because the place started to fill up! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating inside, and they also had a nice outdoor parklet that would be great in good weather. We asked to sit at the bar so we could watch the cooks in action, which was really fun. The menu had all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs and French toast, along with some lunch options like hamburgers and chicken wraps. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the gluten-free eggs benedict and absolutely loved it. I had the Bonjour omelet, and it was delicious. Overall, this is a fantastic breakfast spot with great food, a fun atmosphere, and solid gluten-free options.

I am not a fan of the strawberry ones because they taste too medicinal to me. They def have gotten creative with their flavors -- peach guava, strawberry kiwi, blueberry cobbler. I prefer the Original Blend TBH. Service was fast and friendly. It's cool enjoy the ciders amongst the cans that are getting ready to be filled. Afterwards, we went outside to enjoy a full pour at the pop-up. I got a OB with a tajin rim -- soo good. They have lots of sturdy benches with umbrellas. For food, they have a local hotdog vendor and he seemed pretty popular. When nature calls, you have to use a porta potty but they aren't too bad.

This time we were ravenous, having spent 12 hours carrying heavy boxes and furniture all day, so primed for a good meal. The Rouleaux egg rolls were superb and the steamed shrimp & crab dumplings outstanding, both accompanied by simple but distinct sauces that really made them pop. Our entrees were equally impressive. The crispy fried catfish (Trey Tuk Peng Pah) and seafood noodles (Crevettes, Moules, Champignon Et Pates De Riz Au Gingembre) are my favorites. Such fresh ingredients combined with striking flavors really made it enjoyable. Our server was engaging and had very helpful insights as well.

The reviews looked good and I was excited to try their unique menu... well, let's just say we were very disappointed. First of all the prices are very expensive. I know this is Boston, but $17 for a cocktail is ridiculous! Our server was lovely, he was very kind and had a kind spirit. I was excited to try the "Rouleaux" since they remind me of the eggrolls, my mother learned from her Vietnamese mother-in-law. It was very crispy, which unfortunately is the only good thing I can say about it. The flavor was so off. It's almost as if the ingredients in the Rouleaux were loudly competing for my attention simultaneously! It didn't really melt in your mouth either, it just felt heavy. The other appetizer we ordered was called Dumplings croustillants au poet epics. This was actually worse than first appetizer. I like lemongrass, but MAN the lemongrass was so overpowering. I started to wonder... "is this how it's always made"?! I'm not even exaggerating. Overall, the atmosphere was nice - definitely pricey, and the food isn't worth the hype. Till next eats, SJ
