Best Lunch Restaurants in Cambridge

As expected for upscale pizza and pasta restaurant. Dependable pasta dishes (although the bolognese was a bit watery). Dependable pleasant service and pleasant space.

Everything was great and we were in a table in the back nook which was great for catching up with friends because it was quieter. Will request that table again. Loved the cod dish and the wonderful service!

We had a team diner of 11 people and 2 were running late. I was impressed by how kind, welcoming and helpful Noel was, despite the hassle I am certain this cause the poor kitchen folks. Despite our odd ordering cadence, every plate was perfection. The food here is always inventive, with exciting flavor combinations... but the plating is dazzling. Every course is an event, and I sit in an emotional crisis... of eating the fragrant and mouthwatering presentation... while not wanting to ruin such a perfect plate! The Fresca Lime Ricky (mocktail) was delicious. Who needs alcohol when such flavorful alternatives are available? Must try... Dee's Artichoke Cakes and the Thousand-Layer Crispy Potato Pave. (It haunts my dreams). For your main... this place does short-rib right so well. I had a special, but every dinner was devoured with enthusiasm. This was my 5th visit, and I have another planned in January. Add this to your list as a total GEM!

Jaylen the host greeted us with an immense smile, I loved it! Mike was our waiter, he was very generous!

The dinner menu at Black Lamb is eclectic and has something for everyone. Appetizers were generous portions to share. The service was perfect but the noise level was high mostly because of the ambience of the dining area upstairs - open and high ceilings.
