(As someone who just doesn’t do reservations that often but likes to spontaneously drop in on places…
Mare Takes on the Tuna Tartare The tuna tartare at Mare in the North End is definitely not the best I’ve ever had, but not bad. The tiny chunks of fish were tender and very flavorful. However, I felt that the capers and kalamata olives were not the best combination, as they seemed to be fighting…
Dali is lively, welcoming and romantic Spanish tapas bar in Cambridge and is a well-known and well-liked place among Harvarders to bring a date. I can see why.

The menu is composed of a wide…

The ambience is light, airy, comfortable yet elegant, perfect for both after-work drinks and snacks (in the bar/lounge) with friends and special occasion celebrations (in the dining room). The menu features creative pairings, dishes infused with simple Southwestern…
