Boston MagazineNovember 11, 2011
Few chefs do both upscale and low-key fare as well as Craigie’s Tony Maws. Nor do many offer them side by side, as he does at his Cambridge restaurant. Read more

A rich reflection of the locally grown goods, in a modern eclectic package. The 3 course offers the best deal of lot (6 course is same size, 2X price, but 2X variety). Food's too salty though...
Agustin MohedasJune 9, 2013
Amazing brunch! Get the bloody Mary and grilled pork belly. You'll leave very happy.
Rob AtkinsonNovember 10, 2015
Fixed price menu but worth it. Bistro Mondays are a great value

What else can be said? You will not regret choosing a tasting menu, just take your time and make sure you get the bones! Read more

Average food. The ribs were fried for no apparent reason and also garnished with jalapeño peppers. Crispy fresh bread with butter, complimentary cooky, but other than these perks the menu is dull.
Tina WalshAugust 3, 2014
They only make 18 burgers a day. So, if it's why youre coming call first to see if they have any left!

Get the tasting menu. The pasta with confit chicken.

Do yourself a favor and try the pig tails. Don't bother with a fork or knife though!
Lea VerouMay 17, 2018
Come early and get the pig’s head!

Been here too many times b/c now I have complaints. Savory yes but Waaay too salty- oysters were gagable. Out of hamburgers??? Whatever. Rice was butter overload to the point of gagable 2.. C'mon Tony

Chef Tony Maws continues doing what he does best, preparing seasonal/local (ish) product with utmost reverence using classic French technique.
Emily ChinJuly 6, 2014
Rotating brunch menu (!!!) so only menu isn't accurate.
