    Fig and goat cheese salad
    Taryn R.

    Fairly underwhelming. Nothing on the entrée list peaked my interest so I ordered two appetizers... The scallops were undercooked and had a slight fishy taste. The goat cheese and fig salad was better but served luke-warm, which wilted the greens and gave the entire dish a strange taste. We opted to sit outside because the heat wave sweeping the UK and lack of AC at the restaurant made it very warm inside. The garden area out back is nice but we were swarmed by flies as soon as the food came. Someone also watered flowers above our heads while we were dining, so we got a bit damp. And, to round it all out, the restaurant's free wifi doesn't reach to the outdoor seating. Our server was very friendly! All in all, nothing awful about this place but nothing very special either.

    Bread and Meat - Pork sandwich

    We had to wait 20 minutes for a slightly cramped communal table, and it was all worth it. My…read morePhilly cheesesteak inspired sandwich was truly excellent, with warm, juicy flavorful beef and rich cheese curds, nicely balanced by green bell peppers and onions and bound together by a mild garlic aioli on perfect sandwich bread. Also got a slightly spicy and crisp coleslaw for a cool contrast and a minor dose of vitamins. My tablemates were also really pleased with their orders (a vaguely East Asian glazed chicken with pickled Banh Mi-style veggies and a cold roast beef with arugula--must try those next). Wow. Another reason to visit Cambridge.

    Nice, high quality sandwiches. I actually went here two…read moredays in a row while staying in Cambridge. The first day I ordered two sandwiches, the Porchetta and the Jerk Chicken. The Porchetta sandwich has nice roasted pork and a crispy strip of pork skin to top it off. The description says it has a salsa verde sauce. To me, it was more like a pesto-style sauce. The pork was all meat and didn't have any globs of fat that you sometimes find in American pulled pork barbecue. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich was the weekly special. It consisted of several pieces of skin-on mostly dark meat chicken, house made slaw and I think a little mayo. I took off the chicken skin. It wasn't crispy and I don't care for much chicken skin. Even doing that, it had good flavor. A nice blend of spices and a little spiciness. I didn't eat it right away but it was still good. Like I said, I ordered this sandwich the next day. This time I ate it soon after ordering. The roll was still warm and slightly crunchy. I liked even more when eating it "fresh." I removed the skin on this one too. I used the take out window on the side and they were pretty quick, even though there were about four or five people in front of me. I'll definitely go back when in town and craving a sandwich.
