   I am an "out of towner" yet this was my second time visiting this foundational restaurant in my three-week visit here during the holidays. Besides having the hummus and chips appetizer which was extraordinary because the chips were crispy and unique, I had my first opportunity to munch on my cousin's fried pickle! An acquired taste, but I could learn to like it. My salmon entree with steak fries over a bed of Brussels sprouts was more than enough food for two people. My cousin Andy wouldn't share any of his burger it was too good. Karen had the French onion soup and gave it high five's. Beside dinner, I also received a history lesson about the importance of the Menotomy Minuteman and their courage in fighting on the opening day of the Revolutionary War.

   It’s our old reliable. Kids, grandparents, everyone finds something to like on their menu. Nothing super fancy but when you want exactly that, it fits the bill. Food tastes good though!

   We consider ourselves "regulars" now, and come to have dinner when we're just in the mood to eat out or to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. There is a good variety of dishes with creative touches and ample portions. We live in Cambridge and find the location of Menotomy Tavern to be so convenient. We also are always able to find a parking space in the lot. Most important to us is that the ambience in this large restaurant is cozy and the decor interesting, with local history references. The lounge has a huge L shaped bar. There is a mix of table seating as well as low and high top booths. We have also found the service to be topnotch and friendly. We like to bring friends and family to eat here, especially when they are visiting from out-of-town. Keep up the good work!

   Our food and drinks were great, but our server was a little rude, especially for it being a holiday. Totally understand NYE is a stressful night for servers, but he was pretty cold, rude and just seemed interested in getting us out. There was a 90 min limit and we were out within the 90 min, and wouldn't consider us high maintenance customers- so not sure where this came from. Nonetheless, would still go back, hopefully just caught him on a bad day.

    The hostess was very accommodating in seating us where we would be more comfortable. The server was good and suggested a beer I might like based on my description. The Salmon was very good. I loved the Brussels spouts. I think they blanched them, then roasted them. The potato wedges that were served with the salmon didn’t get soggy. My husband just had a hamburger but said it was very good.
