Foundry On Elm

Reviewed By TravelerWithOpinions

We had a great meal at Foundry on Elm. Lots and lots of choices for vegetarians and pescatarians (as well as omnivores). There were 6 of us and each entree was delicious. Serving staff are pleasant, efficient and responsive. The restaurant was crowded (Saturday night in Davis Square) but it didn't feel too loud and we had no trouble hearing each other during our conversation. We will come back again!

this restaurant is situated in a large area of shops and a welcome oasis in the middle of a shopping expedition. the physical space is attractive with ample seating. the menu offers a range of options, but relatively few vegetarian selections. the meal started off on the wrong footing - water was delivered to the table, but the 13-year-old in the group asked what was floating in his water!!! it looked like a small insect!!! when we informed the waiter that the water appeared contaminated, he thought we were kidding and asked if he should bring another one! duh?the food was at best mediocre. it was attractively presented, served piping hot, a definite plus. but all of the food was too heavily salted - i suppose this makes sense if you are drinking one of the many beer offerings. the food was actually okay but not in any way remarkable.this would not be my first choice in the future.

Legal on the Mystic

With a nod to the industrial past of the location, Legal on the Mystic was built to have a broad appeal and meld traditional with contemporary. The menu was assembled to provide a casual, social dining experience. The emphasis is on plates to share, salad

Couples, families, friends....we love Legal. The personalized service, fresh crab cakes every time, best chowder in the world and lively vibe makes Legal the best. On a very busy, lovely summer Friday evening on Assembly Row, the restaurant hummed along in a classy fashion. A reflection of proper management. Grazie Mille Colin!

We had a great dinner at the bar. Great service and plenty of room. We had a couple of local craft beers (they also had a nice wine selection): started with calamari appetizer and continued with a Tuna BLT and a lobster roll. Great atmosphere

I was staying next door at the Homewood Suites, with no car, so I went here 4 nights in a row. Staff is very friendly. I had the Taco of the Day twice. Nice! The chipotle wings were also yummy. And they know how to make a great dirty martini! A nice respite after a day in downtown. Highly recommend.

Reviewed By extrapagespassport

This is an attractive restaurant with a professional and charming waitstaff. There is a good selection of craft and imported beers. Those are the highlights. The food unfortunately massively disappoints. From the overly sweet and insipid pico de gallo served with chips, to fish tacos that not only lack any flavor but seem like deep-fried fish sticks to tough, flavorless meat, our meal was lackluster. What tipped it to truly awful were the margaritas, which are weak, liquid candy and an appetizer that was some sort of pancake and a soggy mess, that would be better (though still terrible) at IHOP. It’s hard to see how this place thrives: there are far better Mexican restaurants in Cambridge/Somerville and this is a local population who appreciates well prepared, authentic foods.

Redbones Barbecue

Authentic Home - Style Southern Food

Reviewed By JacquieInFlorence

This place is conveniently located just down the street from our Airbnb. The enticing aroma beckoned us, so we succumbed and went for dinner. It was not especially busy, so food was served up quickly. We opted to share the Barbecue Belt, which included 1 texas rib, 2 st louis ribs, 2 baby back ribs, sliced brisket & house smoked sausage, and two sides. The collard greens were as good as Grandma made. Hubby is a bean snob, but said the beans were good. The meat was more than we could eat, and was fall-oof-the bone tender with a nice smoky flavor. The sausage was a bit spicy, but good. We each enjoyed a new beer, the Delirium Nocturnum. It had a very pleasant flavor and nice finish!Our server was young. And, perhaps her level of service is what's expected in a casual restaurant like this. We're used to more pleasantries and hope she'll improve.

Highland Kitchen

Highland Kitchen is a family-owned neighborhood restaurant and bar located "up the hill" in the heart of Somerville. HK has been delivering American comfort food, well-crafted cocktails, friendly service and a killer jukebox since 2007.

Reviewed By Matthew G

This is such a great spot. Cool, hipster vibe, great service (Victoria), and the food is always simple and delicious. We enjoyed an early family dinner on a recent Saturday. If you don’t want to wait for a table- get there at 5pm when they open. Our favorites include the deviled eggs, the chicken liver toasts, the black bean burger, the shrimp and grits, and the grilled gruyere cheese sandwich with house-made tomato soup. Insider tip: there are a few parking spots behind the restaurant if you get lucky!

You certainly have heard this 100 times, but the Boston Burger Company certainly has one of the best burgers in Mass. Not only the burgers, everything we have tried here is delicious!! This time I had the Killer Bee and the onion rings were delicious. The home made chip are also great.
