Tossing some toasted bread crumbs on Mac and cheese is not a substitute for seasoning. Not even a speck of salt on it. Tasted very heavily of flour and not even cheese. It’s like they made a roux but forgot to add anything else.
Chicken tenders were good.

Amazing Fresh Food and great service.
Was able to walk in without reservations ! Was still able to get a get spot with the view of the TV . Homemade sangria very tasty, got the Fried Chicken sandwich! Nicely cooked and delicious!
Definitely will be back .

It is a nice little park for kids and for others. The pavement goes around the park like a track field, great for walks and running. Wish the park was more friendly towards trash, there’s a lot on the ground; not great for the animals. Wish owners did not unleash their dogs too, makes me nervous while there is a road nearby.

We enjoyed a candle light concert with an Adele repertoire. It was amazing!

Cambridge Common is a very historic and beautiful common to visit. It is plenty big with lots of walking space. The historical plaques and sites here are quite worth seeing!

Although it was cold we enjoyed our time here during golden hour. Plenty to do, a safe one entry/exit fence hedged in climbing hydrangeas, large sandbox and stroller friendly throughout. Looks like there's an awesome water table feature and small splash pad for in-season park going as well. We also noticed many birds.

Beautiful public park for walking and recreation while also a remarkable tribute and historic site marking the heart of the American Revolution and where Washington first took command of the revolutionary army. Special bonus is the new monument for the African American soldiers who fought and died in the revolution. So many aspects of this part of American history have been overlooked and underrepresented and this was a touching part of the park.

We had a picnic in the park. It was really odd because there were homeless junkies just sleeping on a mattress in the park🤷‍♀️ there were also non looking homeless people just sleeping in the park...like oh I got tired let me just go to sleep in the grass😳. So weird.
The history in the park was amazing! The statues and the stories they told were awesome! Great learning experience for the kids it Boston seriously needs to clean up their parks.
