   My boyfriend and I went per the recommendation of a colleague and it did NOT disappoint. We had the dumplings and flatbread for an appetizer, which were delicious, but the entrees and dessert stole the show. The chicken dish was so tasty. The carrot cake/cheesecake hybrid dessert with salted caramel ice cream was incredible. Our waiter was so helpful when it came down to picking what to eat and was so pleasant all night. Will certainly be coming back!

   Fabulous. Light and airy, great food and Wilder the bartender is the best. It’s an off the beaten track place but worth checking out.

   Really fantastic food and excellent service within a modern, cosy and welcoming vibe. The aesthetic is beautiful and the staff are genuinely friendly and pleasant. Mothership is definitely a keeper.

   Mothership has become our "go to" spot. The food is great, the drinks are great and the staff is just as wonderful! Fun menu with fun drinks. This place never disappoints!

   Went there for the first time last night on Valentine’s Day. This is one of the new restaurants that has opened up in the alewife area now that there’s a lot of housing. They have nice friendly staff, but the service is a bit slow because they seemed understaffed with waiters. They have a bar shuffleboard table that’s kinda nice. Wasn’t crazy about the cocktail choices. Place seems to mostly cater to youger couples and our families with kids who live in the area. Food is average in my opinion, but not overpriced as the most expensive entrée is $31 and most are in the mid 20s. Also if you’re vegan or vegetarian, there aregood options here. The empanadas were very tasty. The dumplings are really thick on the dough and chewy  and then my wife, and I agreed that the vegetarian filling was a bit dry so you really needed to have with the spicy dipping sauce. The Bolognese was massively overcooked, and while the flavor of the sauce was good the pasta was an absolute mush. That dish was the biggest disappointment for me. The shaved brussels sprouts salad was quite tasty though with halloumi. I probably won’t go back as it’s not my scene and I prefer a higher level of dining.

   As always, the food is excellent value for money, and the service is equally good. We were there on Trivia Night, and the place was packed. Since we are not trivia aficionados we sat, as did others, in the room off to the side, a good setting for a cozy conversation with friends.

   I enjoy trivia on Wednesday nights. Staff greets me by name and seats my group at our usual table. It feels like home. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The trivia contest is so fun even if we don’t know the answers. Give it a try…you’ll love it too.
