I thought the cucumber were phenomenal. Almost ate the whole thing myself. As for the drinks, for me, it's another place where the ingredient list is too complicated. I hate having to google 3 out of 4 of things in my drink - the 4th being the type of liquor in it.. they do have a blurb at the end to explain what the drinks going to be like. I went with the one that's supposed to be close to a margarita. Unfortunately it came with bubbles which wasn't noted on the menu. I can't have bubbles :( which is a bummer bc they're so fun - something about infusing with their own CO2? Yo no se pero the bartender was lovely and gave me another beverage with no extra charge. I also ordered the non-alcoholic old fashioned which was quite nice and pretty light. We ordered the cheesecake bc it's gf (house but they have other flavors) and holy hell.. should I eat cheesecake? No. Did I keep going back for more after I said only a couple bites? Duh. It's from a local spot - Korean Mama. FAVORITE item of the night. When making the reservation I noted that we were going for a birthday and the bartender brought us over some small pours of sake to celebrate since they heard us talking about it earlier. I may not rush back, but my friend has been back twice already.

It was quickly filled with reservations but the staff was so attentive and our food was AMAZING. We got the quickle salad, mushroom ravioli and the chili crisp Buffalo chicken. It was all AMAZING but the Buffalo chicken was one of the best things I've ever had. UNTIL, we had the milk bread. Holy. Shit. But best part? Our server / bartender, Andi.

We had reservations for 7:30, and when we got there, the place was decently busy - a few empty…read moretables here and there - so we were seated immediately. We ordered quickly after perusing the (rather short) menu, most of which was either small plates and cocktails . Our first plate was the hainan chicken arancini. I really liked the contrast in textures between the crispy exterior and the tender chicken and rice mix on the inside. Overall flavour was not bad, too, but I'm not sure that it was exactly good enough to merit the price point of $18. Next was the Xi'an street noodles, which was probably my favourite dish of the meal. The noodles were very well cooked - chewy but not too soft - and I loved the sauce, with the gentle peanut aroma on top of the various spices they used. One comment was that the chilli crisp, which was tasty, was very lacking (in amount) and as a consequence the dish was really not spicy at all. Finally we had the chilli crisp buffalo chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was boneless (I was expecting something more like chicken wings), which made for very clean eating :) The buffalo sauce was nice (and perhaps a bit spicier than the aforementioned chilli crisp) and the chicken itself was very rich and juicy. Portion size was quite large too and overall I was very happy with this plate. For drinks we ordered the Jaded, which was a fun matcha-themed cocktail (even the marshmallow was matcha-flavoured) and a (spirit-free) cranberry limeade, which was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. Overall a yummy meal, but definitely very expensive. I would be interested to try some more of their cocktails, which seem very creative, but I'm not sure if I would be keen to come again primarily for the food. (To be fair, though, this is often the modus operandi of these restaurants that specialise in small plates and drinks )

I ordered the Elly the Elephant and my friend got the Laughing Gull, and we both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was really nice is that they allow you to grab food from the surrounding restaurants and bring it in to eat there. We didn't end up doing that, but we did get the charcuterie board they had. It came with cheeses, crackers, and some fruit, and you can add meats for $10, which we opted out for. I will say I was a little disappointed by the fruit portion. The menu mentioned fresh fruit, so I expected more than three thin orange slices and one sliced strawberry. HOWEVER, when I asked for more strawberries, our waiter kindly brought out a whole bowl for me, which I really appreciated. We stayed for about two hours, and as the night went on the place definitely got more crowded, so we headed out. Overall, this is such a cute and cozy cocktail bar. I'll definitely be back when the weather is warmer to try the other drinks and restaurants in the market.

This was our first time at Viale and restaurant week is always a good way to try somewhere new. Unfortunately our party of 3 all agreed Viale was a miss, especially for the price point. I ordered the salmon crudo, swordfish, and tiramisu. The salmon in the crudo was fresh as was the avocado, but it felt bland and like it was missing multiple ingredients - salt? Citrus? My friend said the sauce with the fried cauliflower she ordered didn't pair well with the cauliflower. The mains were the strong point of the meal - my swordfish was cooked well but still felt like it was missing something and I desperately wanted to ask for a lemon wedge but didn't get the opportunity to. My friend said her chicken parm was very good and my other friend said her crab risotto was decent and better than the salmon crudo. However, the desserts were once again disappointing like the starters. The lemon cheesecake was OK and the berry compote was my friend's favorite part - she ate that and left the rest. My friend's panna cotta was bland and the hazelnuts on it tasted stale or not prepared properly. My tiramisu was soggy and barely had the cream layer - sadly one of the worst tiramisus I've ever had at a formal dining restaurant. The service was a little slow but overall very good. Our server Marcelo was very good at checking in and keeping our water glasses full. There was complimentary bread which I really appreciated while waiting for the dishes. The ambiance was nice! We chose to sit inside for the AC, but I wish we'd chosen to sit outside because the inside was a little loud and we were struggling to hear at some points. This got better later in the evening when the restaurant was less full. All in all, it was an interesting experience. But the disappointing food means I won't be back and couldn't give this place more than 3 stars, especially when there are plenty of other restaurants in the Central area to try that can probably do better.

We dined at Gufo in Cambridge on a weeknight, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. One of the standout aspects was the great service--the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. Since it was a weekday dinner, the restaurant was pleasantly quiet and not crowded at all, which meant we didn't need to make any reservations. This made our evening relaxed, especially in the cozy, modern ambiance that has the perfect balance of casual and upscale. For the food, we started with the arancini and meatballs, both with an amazing crunchy outer + soft inner texture. The mafaldine pasta was al dente and the sauce was not like anything I've had before (pine nuts sealed the deal). The pepperoni's vodka sauce also was a must-try and would definitely order again. To cap off our dinner, we indulged in the blood orange ice cream + chocolate shell, which was the highlight for sure. I would come back here just for that. read more

There is a new Restaurant in town and the neighbors are happy! I feel so lucky to have them so close. The design was well thought out and is elegant. I have to admit I keep ordering the same thing because it is so good - the Snap Pea Caesar is bright and full of summer in every bite. I finally tried the bacon pizza last night and am worried it is going to become a weekly habit :) I look forward to working my way through more of the menu. They even have a Bocce court! I am thinking that is one of the few in Cambridge. Welcome to the neighborhood! I hope you have a long and successful stay. read more

I did not have a reservation, but I was please to have been accommodated in the bar. Even though it was the first couple of sits by the entrance and it was cold and every time someone walked in or out, we'd get chilly. To start, we tried the arancini and the Brussels sprouts. The arancini had a strong, pungent, cheese in the middle and it was not as crispy as I was expecting. It was good, just not my favorite. On the other hand, the Brussels sprouts were amazing. I highly recommend the Brussels sprouts. For the mains, we had bolognese pasta with beef and pork and a pepperoni pizza with some modifications. The pasta was cooked al dente, how I like it, and the meat and tomato sauce had amazing flavors. I thought it was a delicious dish, albeit it was a bit salty. For the pepperoni pizza, we added mushrooms and jalapeños as a modification. The dough felt a little undercooked, and the pizza was a little soggy perhaps from the jalapeño juice. It was an ok pizza but I was expecting great from a $30 pizza. The espresso martini was great. I think maybe I have to come back again and try different things. Overall we got two hits and two misses + a great drink.

For somewhere where your bill is probably gonna end up around $100pp.... It felt like the experience was based on your luck. The brioche was wonderfully delicious with honey butter. The $45 pork shank which was huge ended up being the most flavorless thing we had despite being covered in sauce. The squid ink pasta which they had actually tweaked on their menu to a seafood style with clams and uni was absolutely DIVINE. Noodles had a perfect amount of bounce and were so flavorful. The swordfish was good but I can't remember much more. The potato was actually pretty good but when we got it .... It was funny though because it honestly looked like a 3D model of the ground with grass and dirt.We had dessert and the sorbet flavor was really strong...
