    Calamari
    Max R.

    This is what I am talking about. Kudos for the staff and management! It was nice to hear from them especially my batter comment. Next time we are around we will definitely try other dishes.

    Onion dip with waffle potatoes
    Casey A.

    I stopped into the Lexington to check out their rooftop bar and have a couple apps. I really loved it up there. Perfect rooftop spot for the summer. We had the onion dip with potato waffles, and I really loved it. The fried capers and the salmon roe were nice touches. We also tried their wings and loved it. They were crispy and saucy. The service was really attentive and fast too. They're a little pricey but not outrageously. Definitely recommend!

    Gluten free fried chicken sandwich
    Taryn L.

    This is a really cute spot. Really decent space size with a rooftop view. Staff was attentive and friendly. As someone with celiac I love places that have a dedicated separate fryer. Really enjoyed my gluten free sandwich and fries!

    Dirty martini

    My go to place after work, I'm obsessed with these steak frites. The sauce, the butter, omg. The menu changes quite frequently (such as this burrata salad, I've had a few variations of it) but I really hope these are year round. Drinks are standard but the vibes here are genuinely beautiful and peaceful- surprisingly not extremely crowded, at least not the times I've gone. This is the best of the three connected restaurants I believe. Highly recommend!

    Having tried the three restaurants in this complex, the order for me goes something like: 1. Beatrice 2. Gepetto 3. Lexington. The food was a little uneven but on the whole, quite satisfying and the service, particularly in the lead-up to Christmas, was stellar. Our waiter was wonderful. He recommended a great cocktail for me when I said I was looking for a spicy margarita but didn't see something like it on the menu. The drink was cinnamon syrup, pineapple miso, and a spicy tequila base. Delicious, way too drinkable. Would've been perfect for the summer months. We were maybe one of three tables that night but our waiter was awesome and thoroughly on top of things, and even plated my parents' to-share orders on separate plates. The Cobb was all right, portion size was smaller than if I had ordered the same thing at Beatrice downstairs. A side note: so the Cobb salad with chicken costs $16 at Lexington, while the same Cobb salad at Beatrice costs $14. Same for the chopped salad. Maybe the $2 accounts for sit-down service? In any event, I'd skip the Cobb salad next time at the Lexington and go for the prime burger, which was cooked the perfect requested temperature. Don't forget to order the flan! It was smoother and thicker than other iterations I've tried and almost had the texture of uber-whipped cheesecake. Parking: 2-hour street options right outside. Overall, much easier to find parking here than in Kendall or other parts of Cambridge.

    Crispy potatoes
    Susan R.

    I was meeting family for Saturday brunch in this new-to-me restaurant near the old Lechmere of my youth. I'm sure parking is normally an issue, but given the 22° temps outside, I snagged a free 2-hour spot on the street around the corner. When I checked in, I was informed of an HVAC issue and instead of upstairs seating, we'd be seated in the adjoining dining area of Geppetto's. The decor was on the art deco side and service was super attentive. There was always someone delivering food, clearing away empty dishes or checking back on us. There were several very interesting choices between the small plates and the mains. We each selected our entrees and shared some sides. The Belle of the Ball was the potato waffles with homemade onion dip--positively scrumptious! My niece proclaimed her side of scrambled eggs the best and creamiest ever eaten. My avocado toast with egg salad was much more substantial than I'd figured it would be as a small plate. So much so, I didn't need the side of crispy potatoes, which I would have preferred plain (no hot sauce or crema). My brother enjoyed the pulled pork hash with sunny side egg, though he'd have liked more pulled pork. A bit pricey overall (especially the cocktails) but the quality of food made me turn a blind eye. The restaurant also adds 5% as a kitchen-only service charge, which I have mixed feelings about. It's the owner /employer's obligation to pay a living wage to employees critical to their business. The consumer is paying heavily enough IMHO. But, I would come back at least a second time.

    Steak and frites  Tom Collins (non-alcoholic drink)
    Belle S.

    Delicious! We were satisfied with the environment, the lighting and the food was amazing. Fantastic menu, keep in mind these are large portion sizes. The onion dip with fried potato waffles were to die for. I'm restricted to Gluten free menu items and the waiter asked me about any limitations before I could even tell him. He then handed me a specialized menu made specifically with only their gluten free menu items. Additionally, they try to accommodate those who are celiac. They allowed an alteration to one of our Tom Collins drinks from ginger to vanilla. Very thankful for this. The waitstaff was very friendly it was just very confusing who was waiting on us as multiple waitstaff staff checked in and brought us food drinks and the check. We didn't feel as though we knew who was responsible for our table. Getting them to collect the check at the end to get us on our way was the most draining part of the dinner. Don't get me wrong we had an amazing time. We were just tired from a long day. Better desert menu items would be ideal! They did have one gluten free dessert which was flan. We did not get it. Definitely visit for a delicious meal and a great ambiance.

    French onion soup cheese sandwich
    My-Linh D.

    It was my first time at the Lexington, and it was very beautiful. Once you enter, they tell you to go upstairs to the tables. It was a pretty small space upstairs but very intimate and you can see outside. It wasn't tall enough to see the skyline but that place generally has lights lit up. Our waiter was very funny and helped us with our order. For food we go the: 1. Bacon wrapped scallops: 4/5 that was my favorite dish of the night. The scallop was perfectly cooked and the flavors blend well with the bacon. 2: French option soup cheese sandwich: 3/5 I didn't like that as much because there was a lot of cheese on the sandwich and the French onion soup was very light. However, my partner liked it a lot! 3: Beer battered first tacos: 3/5 the ingredients were very fresh. There was more fish than batter. The only thing missing was a nice sauce to blend all the flavors together. We ended up asking for a lime because the ingredients of the taco did not harmonize well. 4: Flan: 4/5 very creamy and delicious!

    Tuna tartare
    Rosemary S.

    The decor and staff were great. The restaurant id large and has a lot of outdoor balcony seating. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I know they have a lot of seafood but the strong odor of fish throughout the room was a little unusual. Tuna tartare was suboptimal quality. Salads are small and not very filling. Cocktail menu and the crab cakes were great. This place is fine but wouldn't prioritize going.

    Jalapeño-bacon croquettes
    Bridget L.

    Nice rooftop views, good for a group dinner. Limited menu with pretty standard American food. Had the onion dip, jalapeño-bacon croquettes, & fish tacos. The tacos were meh but I'm rarely impressed by tacos. Liked the dip itself but didn't like how we given normal waffle fries with the dip rather than the potato waffles I had seen in pics. The croquettes were my favorite--very cheesy with a kick of spice. Friendly and fast service.

    Brunch menu
    Nicki L.

    I'm surprised to see the average rating so low! I had a fantastic time at The Lexington. To start, the space is stunning. It felt like a special experience to dine in a well decorated, light flooded space. The service was super friendly. We had a few friends who showed up late and our serve was very accommodating to that. I enjoyed my meal. The chopped salad was fresh, dressed well, and full of great flavor. I'm excited to return in the summer to enjoy the roof deck and it's stellar view.

    Chanda R.

    Ambiance It's located on the second floor, don't get it confused with the coffee cafe and pasta and wine bar on the second floor. There is a hostess that welcomes you which in my case she did but she was helping another party. Luckily there was a sign and followed it to go upstairs to the bar. Wow it was clean lots of space an outdoor deck for seating windows all around. Very impressive for the space. I decided on bar seating with my guest Service Sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful. I enjoy cognacs and usually I get them neat. This time upon the suggestion of the bartender I got the millionaire 2 cocktail and it was perfect! Highly recommend! Food Tried the chicken sandwich which was good and a large size. Fries are extra and opted not to get that. Appetizer was the shrimp cerviche. It wasn't what I expected and probably wouldn't order it again but we ate it.

    Cocktail
    Brooke C.

    The second floor roof deck is so cute. I got two cocktails and both were delicious. Service was great as well. I did also get the beef tartare and it wasn't the best, but still giving five stars nonetheless.

    Martini, millionaire # 2

I really, really, REALLY wanted pancakes. The website said brunch goes until 3. We get there at 2:50. They said they were no longer serving brunch and they've moved to their limited menu, because brunch ends at 3. You can imagine the puzzled look on our faces when they told us it ended at 3pm but it's still 2:50pm. They said we would have been fine if we were 5 minutes earlier. Weird that 2:45 is fine but 2:50 is not. We were annoyed, to say the least. But we were hungry, we didn't know what else was around, we needed to eat, and it already took us 30 minutes to get here in an Uber. Two guys came in after us, also before 3, who were also really excited for brunch. They too were shut down. We ordered off the limited menu. It was okay. It was fine. But that's not the point. If brunch ends at 2:45, then say it ends at 2:45. Don't say it ends at 3pm and then shut people down because it secretly closes earlier. I get that you guys want to switch the kitchen over and prep for dinner, but serve the food you say you're going to serve at the time you're going to serve them. Nobody came in after us and the other party that was also in before 3, so it's not like there was some never ending rush of people trying to get brunch. I also don't recall anyone else coming in before we left probably an hour. Poor communication and poor customer service.

But, what made up for the space in my stomach were the Parker House Rolls (get them!!!!) which had the best butter I have ever on the side.

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.

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.

The espresso martini was absolutely bomb, and everything coming out of that kitchen looked and smelled great. The service and atmosphere made the experience memorable. I could definitely see myself going back for a couple of drinks or to catch a game -- especially because it felt good to be treated with such genuine warmth in a space where I didn't necessarily expect it. I think our server was Samson, maybe, and someone else served us, I didn't get his name- but thanks for your hospitality.

    Busy restaurant on the water and one of my favorite lobster rolls on this trip. Huge portions and…read morevery lively in here. Server was a bit slow but due to the influx from the FIFA fans. Started with the cup of clam chowder that comes dripping from the cup. They use a lot of dill here and come out hot. A bit on the salty side but oyster cracker helps with that. The lobster mac and cheese came with a salad. The lobster mac had a nice broiled cheese top and a creamy inside. Nice lobster and cheesy flavor to it. I got the warm lobster roll and changed it to come with onion rings for $1. The onion rings tasted homemade. Slight crisp to it and thick onions. The lobster roll was massive and the amount of lobster it came with was incredible. Poured the hot butter and squeeze lemon on it for an amazing bite. Would come back here for a larger party to share the plates and order more stuff from here. The lobster bisque is only on the weekends. They have daily menus as well.

    This was just a great overall experience. The food is solid, the vibe is excellent, the service is…read morepretty good, location is nice on the water and it is exactly what one looks for in their visit to Boston. Here is a breakdown: Clam chowder 5/5 - well flavored and well balanced, I prefer a little thinner but there is nothing to complain about here Fish and chips 3/5 - this was ok, I liked the bite size pieces for sharing but didn't love the breading Lobster mac and cheese 5/5 - loved the big chunks of lobster so you could really taste it vs small pieces that blend in Calamari - 5/5 - lightly breaded and perfectly fried, the cocktail sauce is excellent, the tartar sauce used sweet pickles which weren't my fave but still good

    During a time-crunched Boston day, my girlfriends and I struggled to find a brunch place to eat in…read moreBoston the day of (lesson learned for us)!, but we were 1000% lucky that we got one of the last few morning spots at Sunnyside All Day Brunch Cafe on a Saturday! Walking in, it was ABSOLUTELY packed and super busy, but luckily with our reservation, we were seated within 10 minutes! I had been CRAVING Chicken and Waffles and BOY it did not disappoint! I was served with the most perfectly made waffle with butter that just fell into the crevices and melted along with the most PERFECTLY CRISPY CHICKEN! I was extremely hungry, so I absolutely devoured it, but it hands down had to have been one of the best Chicken and Waffle plates I've ever had. Although I didn't drink the Espresso Martinins, my friends that did drink it enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite how packed and busy they were, the service was FAST and our waiter was so sweet and attentive and the vibe was just so fun and lively! It was such a wonderful way to start our day in Boston and I 1000% would come back here if I could again!
