Thanksgiving dinner was memorable. We ordered three of the main courses: turkey, venison, and steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The suggested wine pairing went well with the dishes. Service was great, and the maïtre D made us feel truly at home. We were lucky to get the room with the gas fireplace--all in all a delicious and cozy experience. The restaurant made us feel like family!

We had an excellent meal with impeccable service. Shared the black truffle risotto for our starter - delicious taste and satisfying. I had the sole for my main: perfectly prepared with light lemon butter and capers. Husband had the crabmeat tagliatelle with cream sauce and red pepper. He said that it was like a cream based fra diavolo and delicious.

Had a lovely meal and experience last night at The Hourly. Tasty oysters, creamy rich lobster bisque, wonderful brussels, etc. And the prices aren't terrible for Cambridge. We've recommended to others.
