This was unfortunately the worst meal I have had in awhile. It was the saltiest food I have ever had. We had a party of 5 and we all were in shock about how salty all of our dishes were. Please listen to this review and add less salt to all of your dishes. We are trying to help because we enjoyed our waitress and our experience, but the food was inedible. I am not trying to be harsh. read more

Amazing food and customer service! The onion dip, the duck, and the burger was incredible. Awesome location too. Can't wait to visit again!

AMAZING gluten free fried chicken. We got it carry out and we're impressed that it stayed nice and crispy. It had a great flavor and came with some really good sides. read more

...no cocktail bar makes ur hotel very unattractive ..nothing else to comment on ..place looks clean & modern .

Food might be ok, but FAR too noisy to enjoy it. Parking is also strange roads are private with private enforcement and towing

I am a fan of the Lexington's sister restaurants but have been fairly disappointed with the Lexington and Geppetto. The food was incredibly salty and nearly inedible. We got the wings and croquettes and couldn't finish either of them. Seemed like the chef just spilled salt into the wing sauce and the croquettes had additional salt on top of them despite being fried cheese and bacon (something that is already salty). Croquettes were dry; we ended up throwing them out. Still haven't decided how we can salvage the wings. It might be a lost cause. read more

I am a long-time resident of East Cambridge and I've gone to The Lexington and Geppetto several times over the last three months. I have found the food there to be consistently very good upstairs and downstairs and I have never had a reason to complain. The influence of the parent Pilgrim and Co. is very apparent in the quality and creativity of the food. The ambiance in both spaces is very nice with Geppetto being more intimate with a really wonderful wait staff. It is the sort of place where dressing up more would not be a wrong decision. The outdoor patio is very nice and a great place to watch the local Cambridge Crossing crowd with their children and dogs in an urban park-like setting. Upstairs at the Lexington, there is a great open feeling with lots of light, views and music. The wait staff here and bartenders are very professional, friendly and attentive and the people in management are truly welcoming to customers and attentive and caring to them and their staff. I always like going to both of these restaurants because I enjoy seeing how well everyone there seems to like each other while they work so hard to make the customer feel appreciated and satisfied. read more

The Lexington is a new hot spot in East Cambridge. The views are lovely. The cocktails are delicious. Staff are knowledgeable. Why did I give this establishment a one star review? The breading on the fish tacos was not seasoned. The grilled cheese was inedible because of the intense amount of salt content. Last but not least; I was charged $42 (a full day rate) for parking. Why? There is a 3 hours time limit and the restaurant did not state this on their website. (It's stated to be $10.) We even asked the hostess if there was a time limit before we left to make sure that we didn't go over. They said there is no time limit. They didn't even offer to cover the charge after speaking with the GM, Tim. I'm hoping they improve their food and update their website. If that happens, I'll try again. But for now, I can't recommend going there. read more

Our party of 5 had a lovely experience from start to finish. Our server was lovely, the cocktails were great! The braised short rib nachos were a high quality version of your typical nachos. We all enjoyed our variety of entrees. However, upon reviewing our bill, we asked what the 3% processing fee was. Our server, who seemed extremely genuine, did not know and asked the manager. It turns out it was a "glitch" and was removed from our bill. This seems very suspicious, so beware if it's on your bill too! read more

This was my first time at The Lexington and was not disappointed! When you first walk in you're greeted by a host who took us to the upstairs level and sat us at the perfect table right by the wide open windows. Our Server Robert D. was super helpful in recommending the best drinks (Captain's Blood was phenomenal!) and best food! I personally had the wedge salad and the French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese. My friends had the cheeseburger and the pork chop and everything was cooked perfectly! As we were sitting there and watching the staff hard at work I never once saw their manager on duty stop moving or helping his staff. It's definitely a place you knew the staff were appreciated and respected and that absolutely carried over to their guests and really made the whole night so enjoyable. We finished with their yummy cheesecake for desert. Could not recommend this place any more 10/10 recommend! Thank you to the staff at The Lexington for a beautiful night! read more

I hate to leave a negative review for a local business but my experience dining here was extremely subpar. Our friend made a reservation for a group of us for 8:30 pm. We did not learn until we were all heading to the location that the kitchen closes at 9 pm per their website. Typically, this information would be communicated to us when we made the reservation. I was running late and out of respect for the kitchen staff, I texted my order to my friends who arrived at 8:30 pm. When I arrived at 8:40 pm the waitress Mackenzie had taken drink orders of my friends. No worries, I thought she would swing by shortly and get the rest of the drink orders and start food orders. 20 minutes goes by and she still does not check in with us. Again, we were very concerned about holding the kitchen staff back and wanted to be respectful of the 9 pm kitchen close time. I had to flag her down to get her attention. When she came, we politely asked if we could also put in our food orders. She was very abrasive in insisting "I'm going to get drink orders first". After drink orders, she finally took all of our food orders. However, when she got to my mom, she completely forgot to ask her for her order. I had to tell her "my mom would like to order ___" as she was already putting her notepad away and getting ready to walk away. When drink orders came, she forgot to put my partners drink order in, so we had to remind her. My partner has dairy and gluten allergies. I'm uncertain where the mix-up happened so I don't want to blame Mackenzie for what happened, but my partner was served a dish with butter. Thank goodness one of the lovely kitchen staff members ran out and stopped him before he started digging in. They did remake his dish as quickly as possible but unfortunately the fish was raw in the middle. Overall, the food was lackluster. The service was extremely poor. The cocktails were the only saving graces of the experience. It was an unpleasant experience for a night meant for celebrating. I hope the management will consider retraining their staff to address the issues we encountered during our dining experience. read more

Do not go to this place with a big group. They are masters of extortion. We made a reservation for 18 but they neglected to tell us we could not order off the main menu but instead provided us a prix fixe 3-course dinner. It was very limited on the appetizer and main course, and only stated a "dessert bar" for the 3rd course. The appetizers were average. The main courses were also average and some steak fritz meals came out undercooked and all meals came out cold. The "dessert bar" was sugar cookies and chocolate chips cookies (how gourmet). The cherry on top of this experience was the lack of upfront pricing on this menu. The meal was far from being worth $70 and they went the extra mile to extort our party with a $71 kitchen fee and a $71 admin fee (never heard of such a thing). This was on top of the 20% gratuity they included (though the wait staff was good). It is a shame that such a nice venue would conduct dirty business with a large group, particularly, a party of active duty military visiting Boston. read more

I would give this place 5 stars but....we went after work with a small group and there was a band playing on the green so go there a little early for our 7:15pm reservations on the roof deck. When we arrived they told us that we didn't really have reservations on the deck, they call the morning to confirm those. ??? Does that mean if someone more important gets there before us we don't have the roof deck table? That seems not right. In fact, a party of 30 people were already on the deck and they put us next to the deck, which was fine. A reservation means a table of our choice is reserved for us.... whatever. Anyway- the food and the drinks were spectacular and the service was the best I have ever had in Boston. So all was great until it was time to leave, which I got my parking in the garage validated and because we were over the 3hr limit... it cost $42. I will go back but I will walk and I will have them confirm several times prior to arriving that my table is truly the one I reserved. read more
