Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.

Food was wonderful especially the sides (brussel sprouts and carrots were our favs). Had the pasta, risotto and ribeye. The ribeye was the weakest of the entrees. Pricey but one of the better dining options in Cambridge.
