The chips were great (I think they were home made), and the guacamole was tasty, it was just a pretty small serving for the price. Our table had 5 different entrees and they were all good. Our salad was unique with lentils and roasted beets. We swapped the mango dressing for a lemon vinaigrette. The half pound burger was cooked perfectly. The home made beef short rib ragu had really good flavor. Overall a very solid dinner.

We also got the truffle fries - also amazing. We got the Brussels sprouts which were ok, but not my favorite. For dessert, I definitely recommend the gelato. Our server was very kind and funny.

Sadly they've closed this location From their site:…read more THE FEDERAL IS CLOSED We would like to thank all of our guests for their support over the last seven years. Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision to close the restaurant permanently. The current economy and ever increasing costs make it impossible to continue.

Didn't see the need to have 3 ladies standing in one spot at 6pm mid-week, looking bored at best. Plenty of high top seating in the lounge or on bar side for 2-4 people. Great place for a quick bite, after work meet/up (or even a romantic dinner if you reserve the high table near the fireplace). Waitress was very nice and attentive. Great cocktail & wine selection. Crab stuffed shrimp and an entree is plenty for 1 person. Rib eye was phenomenal. Sauce wasn't needed. Crab cakes were just ok. I didn't understand the chip like flakes that were added on top. Small portions, but yet filling. I couldn't finish the large tiramisu which was also very good. The added morsels gave it a nice touch. Overall, good for locals, nearby employees or shoppers.

One of My Favorites!…read more Gustazo is honestly one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge! The food is absolutely delicious, and there are so many amazing options on the menu that it's hard to choose just one favorite. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food never disappoints, and it's definitely a place I love coming back to. If you're looking for a great restaurant in Cambridge with delicious food and a fantastic dining experience, Gustazo is definitely worth visiting! Highly recommend!

I had only booked for 6 women, but people loved the location so much we had 11 show up. The staff were SO incredibly kind in accommodating us (again and again) on a busy Friday night. Shrimp cocktail was fresh and delicious and the crushed ice and ring presentation (I ordered 3) was gorgeous. Wish we'd found this place sooner!

Nice cocktail menu (but we didn't partake...). Casual diner-ish seating around an old school bar with a cool take on breakfast classics. The biscuit with butter and hot honey is big (share it) and outstanding. Our awesome server recommended the burrito ... but we went with a classic breakfast plate (great bacon) and their unique take on chilaquiles ... delicious all around. Can tell a lot about a restaurant by how they handle a hiccup. One of our dishes came out cold, and they were quick to remake it with courtesy, professionalism, and an apology. Bravo. Five stars for service, food, and ambience. Highly recommend.

I ordered my usual Greek salad with salmon. Salmon was good crispy on the outside tender flaky inside. Salad greens were fresh and crunch, veggies cucumbers tomatoes and bell peppers fresh. Overall healthy and tasty meal. Hubs got his usual beet salad with salmon which he enjoyed as well. A friend ordered chicken tenders and fries which looked really good and she enjoyed it too. My friend and I both got hot waters which they accommodated no problem. Parking was easy - we lucked out and got parking in the lot behind the restaurant itself! Karaoke was super fun as usual! Singing with a live band takes it a while another level! Always a good time at Tempo!

We were seated in a high top across from the bar. Our server, Hannah, was pleasant and cordial. My wife ordered the southwestern salad and I ordered a burger with a $2 upgrade to make the tater tots "garlic". Her salad comes and is much smaller than expected for $18. My burger came and I ordered it medium rare and it was well done. I sent it back to be refired to the proper temp and while I waited I ate the tater tots. I expected a $2 upcharge to be at least fresh garlic but it was garlic powder. On top of that, when I finished the tots(before the second burger) there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the basket plus 2 pools that leaked onto the table. The refired burger came back via a food runner, not a manager, and this burger was also not medium rare but I was hungry so I ate it. When we let Hannah know about the out l oil she explained that they regularly are cleaning up oil and not to worry about it. I'll be going to the Muffin House down the road from now on. You should also.

Great location on Main Street…read more My wife and I really enjoyed the food and the portions.

I'm usually quite empathetic in these situations but we pretty much had to send smoke signals to get a second round and we were done eating by the time it came. They add a "Massachusetts dining fee" on to the bill now. It might have been there during previous dining experiences and I just never noticed, but I find it crazy that a place that can charge $12 for a beer has to also add fees to pay their staff. It was $177 inc tip for 4 beers, 4 sodas, 2 burgers and 5 sliders. At that price, I shouldn't have to beg for a second round so I'm adjusting my rating.
