   We ordered raw oysters, clam chowder soup, and Grilled Bronzini Fish. Everything was delicious. Wine was Atom Chardonnay and Champagne. They were especially good with the raw oysters. Our waitress gave us helpful advice and we enjoyed the menu as expected. I would definitely visit again.

   Fresh, clean and delicious. Every dish was thought out very well and it was the best experience. We started off with the Two tales of oysters then had the crispy calamari and tuna tartare. All starters were very fresh and delicious it had us clean the sauce off the plate. For our entree, we had the grilled swordfish and the lobster roll which both were amazing. Our waitress, Carolina was super friendly and patient. I will be coming back for more!

   It was our first but not our last visit to the hourly. I have no complaints and only praise. Drinks- incredible. The interrobang was *chefs kisses* and their version of a manhatten was well received in our group. Strong. Apps: oysters were fresh and delicious with some varieties we haven’t seen before. hush puppies were wonderful (spicy-i could eat the spicy butter with a spoon it was incredible) calamari was good (not our favorite dish but tasty and a decent serving-probably wouldn’t get them again). A member of our group had and loved the clam chowder (not super thick more broth like but had big pieces of bacon). Entrees: scallops were wonderful and the risotto they were served on was unique and tasty, the cod dish was wonderful and the poke bowl from the starter menu was great. The ambiance was excellent- very hip without being annoying, a really nice mix of harvard/cambridge young people, middle age yuppies (🙋‍♀️) and those who are aging gracefully. Honestly I can’t find fault with the restaurant and can’t wait to go back. Parking is a challenge as it is anywhere in Harvard Square. We found street parking but they give a modest discount for a nearby garage I think. Lastly, prices were fair. Certainly there are more expensive seafood restaurants within walking distance. 5/5.

    Excellent overall! Food was delicious, service was amazing. If there was one remark to make, it would be to dial down the music volume, which was a bit loud at the beginning. Eventually it was lowered to a good level. Thank you for a wonderful night out.

    Great choice of excellent raw seafood. But everything that is cooked is just a bit wrong. Why do they add so much lemon in the lobster salad ? Why not change the oil from time to time to fry the calamari ? The wine list is not the best, and is definitely overpriced.

    My husband and I wanted to get something light before we went to the theater so we looked at the menu a few days before and loved all the small plate/appetizers and raw bar items. The restaurant was really nice and cozy. We loved the New Orleans touches. The server, Jackie was so lovely. We got a drink, shared a bunch of small plates and got dessert. The best of the small plates was the octopus. Delicious. Would get that again. Great experience. The restaurant was nice and I could see it being a fun regular neighborhood spot.

    Th fish and chips and chicken were fabulous as were the cod cakes. The swordfish was overpriced and mediocre. We were slow to order and we did it in stages. The waitress seemed to have a difficult time adjusting to our unusual timing.

    This is a lovely spot off of Harvard Square! We enjoyed the clam chowder and lobster bisque and the scallops with butternut squash risotto. It was all delicious and our server and her team were quite pleasant and attentive. My wife enjoyed her soft serve ice cream while I lingered over good coffee.

    We’ve eaten here several times now, with and without reservations and felt welcomed every time. The menu is a good range of seafood, raw, ceviched or grilled, as well as classic standards such as pasta, roasted chicken and a great burger. Something for everyone. The space itself is welcoming and comfy. A great bar area, generous booths or cafe table seating makes a lively scene without too much hustle or noise. Even enjoyed the outdoor alley space this summer.

    I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, mentioned to the waitress if it was possible to do something for her. My request was completely ignored, and when ordering oysters - they lacked juice. I assume they were being used for the oyster shooters. Our food came out cold and it took a long time to get our check, I had to walk up to our waitress because we had been waiting 20 mins with a clear table.

    We were in Cambridge for college tours and I made a reservation after having done my research so I had high hopes. My reservation was made over two weeks ago and we were first seated at the very end table by the bathrooms far away from other guests. I asked to be seated and the new table was better. The lobster bisque was on the salty side but I didn’t want to ruin the experience for my family so I still ate my soup. The chop salad was also salty, which surprised me. Isn’t it really difficult to make a salad salty? The Bucatini frutti di mare was the saltiest of all. It was so salty to a point that no one should eat their food like this. It was a long day and I really didn’t want to make a fuss at a restaurant that I would never come back anyway. I decided to ask for some bread to offset the saltiness instead of sending it back to kitchen. The two thin pieces of toasted baguette was sent to our table 15 minutes later and I was charged $2 for the bread. Maybe I should have sent the soup, salad, and pasta back.
