EaterJanuary 23, 2013Since its opening, West Bridge has become the darling of Kendall Square, among many existing darlings. The French-inspired menu comes from Aquitane Bistro alumni chef Matthew Gaudet. [Eater 38 Member]
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014If Chef Matthew is around, give him a hug from CITY GRIT! Also start with the Egg in a Jar, Skate Cheeks, & The Black Tuscan Kale. We will dream about the Venison for years.
Matt HeindlMay 27, 2013Judging by the tips here, the menu changes often... But our experience was great... We ordered a ton of small plates as well as two giant plates to share: not a letdown. All was scrumptious.
Boston.comDecember 6, 2012A veal chop perfectly grilled, combined with bits of dried olive and almond touched with brown sugar, with chard laced with candied orange peel: together, it is mind-blowingly delicious. Read more
Jonah JenkinsOctober 22, 2013Best service in the Kendall Square area...incredibly smart and pleasant staff. Also, epic food options, every day, especially if you like fresh, creative combinations of ingredients for omnivores.
The calamari is inspired — far from the usual, it's strings are pasta-like, and enjoyed in a broth with cockles and whelks.
- Boston.comJuly 30, 2013Sip the "Conant's Island:" the restaurant's own cucumber vodka gets a kick from rice vinegar and green Tabasco. For those of you avoiding sugary or floral drinks, here’s your pick. Read more
Karine HsuOctober 27, 2015The egg in a jar was great and the salmon was very well made! The decor was also quite nice for a dinner date.
Bre MillerApril 8, 2014Fav restaurant industry foodie friends, who said their fav new spot for food and drink is West Bridge in Kendall Square.
Food & WineApril 3, 2013Chef Matthew Gaudet prepares compelling twists on regional New England cooking: Think mussels with uni butter, and clam chowder with sunchokes and pork shoulder. Read more
Olivia SzetoOctober 25, 2014egg in a jar is a must! pureed potatoes topped w/ wood of hen mushrooms, crispy skin strips & an egg!
KateJanuary 23, 2013Had the sirloin roast, cauliflower, egg in a jar, and Tuscan kale, and it was all amazing!
- The scallops are not only cooked to perfection, but also come with a beautiful vegetable assortment
- Try the peas & leeks! With sweetbreads, quinoa, and mascarpone you can't go wrong…
Late night menu 11-12. Get the burger. You're welcome. (Also one of the many delicious cocktails to wash it down.)- Jarrett GoetzMay 10, 2013Make sure to check out the unbelievable chalk drawn map in the off the beaten path handicap bathroom!
- Never had duck liver terrine? Now's your time to try. You won't regret it!
LindsMarch 25, 2013I've tried nearly the entire small plates menu and it's all delicious, but the broccolini and egg in a jar are really special.
Rodrigo DaviesNovember 10, 2013If you're here after 11 on the weekend (or 10 mon-thurs), get the burger. It's on their 'bridge' menu and is excellent.
Hamo FieldMay 9, 2013Amazing food and service! The venison was awesome (as were the snails, lamb, kale salad, deserts, etc!)
Alex BourretMay 12, 2013The $65 Chef's tasting menu with wine pairings is worth it! Great cocktails...we will be back!
Killer cocktails, and a fun, delicious menu made for sharing
Conant's Island is the move; a delicious blend of cucumber infused vodka, rice vinegar, and green Tabasco. Drink!
Hunter AshmoreJanuary 30, 2015The lunch burger was phenomenal! They also have a great beer selection
Jane Bulnes-FowlesJanuary 22, 2013Eastern Standard alum Josh leads a great team - get any of the speciality cocktails and you won't be sorry.
Jess HsiaoMay 8, 2013Must haves: Asparagus with smoked oyster, scallops, egg in a jar, Indian pudding dessert- Try the Francis Dana — a smooth cocktail similar to a martini
Jean SantosOctober 1, 2013Lunch is in the 10 to 13 dollar range before tip. Sandwiches are excellent! Highly recommended!- Egg in a Jar is a signature dish here — surprisingly amazing
- The sunflower chowder comes with clams — deliciously salty!
Paul EnneverAugust 19, 20132-3 small plates is enough for a dinner, depending on how hungry you are.
Heather FahertyJune 15, 2012Never thought I'd say this about gin but...this gin is G. These are the best gun drinks you will try in the city.
- First Glimpse combines Mezcal with passionfruit…delicious!
