Love Earl’s. Good ambiance, service and atmosphere space. Most of their food menu are great but would not recommend getting the Sushi. All and all good experience.

Excellent as always. I don't know what I would do for lunch and conversation with colleagues in Harvard Square if it were not for Harvest.

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.

Having visited Peru this past summer, we were delighted to learn of this restaurant. Peru has indeed become a gastronome destination. This restaurant did not disappoint. The server told us dishes were meant for sharing: we ordered one crevice appetizer and two entrees (duck and sliced steak), plus two Pisca based drinks (the ones with the ginger beer). The meal was as filling as it was appetizing. With tax and tip, the bill came to $150. Be advised this is not a large restaurant. The main dining room accommodates about 20 diners. There are several tables opposite the bar and seats at the bar.

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.
