Cool selection of wines you won't find elsewhere, but call ahead. The business hours are only a mild guideline, as far as I can tell.

Came in for dinner for two, got bar seating right away! The ambiance was very fun, good for any…read moreoccasion, and the service was fast/thoughtful. Dishes from best to worst: Pork Belly: absolutely would order again, very tender and delicious - one of the top pork bellies I can recall Shrimp: the shrimp was tasty, and the oil was delicious with the bread Octopus: really good, nice and crispy and not rubbery Potatoes: crispy and aioli was good, but nothing super special Cod: cod balls were fine, the other customer enjoyed them but personally not my favorite (probably more of a preference thing) Steak: Was a bit disappointed with the steak, was just strips of beef with some sauce Drinks: Sangria: we ordered one to share and the bartender split into two for us without us having to ask, was a refreshing drink Summary: 4/5 overall the food was very good with one or two semi-misses

If I was dining with a picky eater I would bring them here. Let me explain myself-- everything is…read morecooked and seasoned well, and the massive menu ensures that everyone will find something they can eat. Even if you don't end up liking the dish, the tapas size is small so you're not losing too much. And most importantly, most of the dishes I tried had garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil as the predominant flavor profile. The perfect seasoning profile for a non-adventurous eater! For the more adventurous eaters, I'd highly recommend sampling from their charcuterie and cheese selection. I enjoyed trying different combinations of cheese and meat with the bread to see which flavor profile was my favorite (also a good activity for Remy's friend from Ratatouille). As other reviewers mentioned, you can try a lot of dishes but the tables aren't that big so you have to be a little bit strategic if you want to dip the bread in the leftover sauces.

Some markets offer sexual services such as oral pleasure for women... those providing said pleasure…read moreare known as Market Liquors. But this is not that. Typical overpriced liquor store in an expensive part of Boston in the west suburbs right off of Commonwealth. I don't drink so I don't care how overpriced it is - I just came here for some water. But if you're coming here for liquor, it might be a little out of your price range. Then again you're on Yelp so you're probably not poor. Lol. But it's still a good store because I know a lot of you love to drink and these stores are invaluable to you then basically. Pretty good selection too, and friendly enough. Sunday morning rain is falling. Oh wait. Why did Adam Levine take over my review. Psh.

C'est Bon is a great little convenience store in Harvard Square. It is very conveniently located…read morenext to the Harvard Square Red Line stop, and I often stop by when I need some beer or liquor. Prices are on the expensive side, but fairly standard for Harvard Square prices. They have the customary selection of beers, wines, liquors, and mixers, but they also have a section of Harvard apparel (like T-shirts, sweatshirts) and Harvard memorabilia (like keychains, mugs, coasters, etc), so it is a great place to also pick up some souvenirs while you are shopping for your beer! I also like that they sell accessories to complement your drinking, like plastic martini glasses and plastic shot glasses for a party. Their hours online might not necessarily reflect when you are able to buy alcohol. I walked in after 11pm one night and even though they were still open, I was told that they cannot sell alcohol after 11pm (not sure if that is only on specific nights or if this is a nightly rule).

Cellar is a genuinely fantastic liquor store. Period. The place is small, cozy, but the selection…read morenever fails to impress. There are seriously, seriously good beer selections that rotate (because they always try to get limited-run, rare stuff - and it runs out) and awesome wine stocked too. Ask Mike (look for the beard) for a recommendation and watch his face light up while he asks you your preferences and tailors his response. His knowledge is encyclopedic and his enthusiasm is infectious. He really makes the place special. Hard to reconcile these other reviews calling the place pretentious. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

A cozy store with a wonderful variety and selection of wines (and a respectable assortment of beer…read moreand liquor to boot). What makes this place so special compared to other alternatives? Michael. Michael is simply a genius when it comes to wine and the insights that he shares with his customers are fascinating and incredibly helpful. I've walked away each time with a greater appreciation and understanding of wine in general, and have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. This has quickly become my "go-to" store and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgable as Michael. Importantly, you'll walk out knowing you made a quality purchase without having exceeded your budget, and that's always a recipe for success. Go, and ask for Michael - you won't regret it.
