Recipes marry just the right spices, and dishes are down-home delicious at this gem of a restaurant. Tables are packed in tight, but you still get that charming, neighborhood-like feel. Try the baked crab appetizer - it's perfect for sharing. more

Liked everything about it. The location, funky decor, service, and last but not least, the food. Fear not the smoked beef tongue canape - it was delicious. Fish was outstanding, side dishes were memorable. I'm not a dessert guy, but even those were perfect. To top it all off, the prices were very reasonable. Two starters, bottle of wine, two... more

I can't see how this restaurant is rated so low by Tripadvisor as it has got to be one of the top restaurants in Boston. The food is exceptional. We visited in July and there was not a dish that we thought was not remarkable. The bluefish, crab, roast chicken were all simply prepared but accentuated the skill of the... more

It would seem almost impossible to live up to the ratings this restaurant has been getting, and even though it is great in many ways, I don't think it quite deserves the 27 it got from Zagat. As others have noted, there is no shortage of attitude in the process of getting a table, and the rooms and tables themselves... more

Small, sensible, and overly delicious portions. Great drinks, wonderful service, but takes a week to get a reservation here. Nothing but praise for this small, warm, and local hangout. more

Please allow me to be the first and perhaps last food critic to express my disappointment in Hungry Mother. Sure, it’s had an inordinate amount of hype and positive press behind it since its opening last year in Cambridge, MA. But Chef/Owner Barry Maiden’s French-Southern comfort cuisine – a rarity in the city to be sure – left me perplexed... more

Food was tasty. Menu was limited, but unique. Atmosphere wasn't anything special but the service was friendly. I won't be running back there, but good to try something new. more

Its tough to find good food in Boston, which thanks to a general lack of palate tends to like places more for atmosphere and service than food. As I eat out pretty much every night of the week, this is a bit of a drag. To the point I plan my vacations around whether the places I am going are... more
