Reviews for Black Sheep in Cambridge, MA
Pros: Food was very good, well made and fresh. Cozy atmosphere with a home feel. Cons: VERY expensive. 6oz chicken was $25 and... the cheapest entree was $22. $16 tomato soup that was average. Water tasted weird. Service was slow and when a girl at the tablenext to us dropped a glass full of juice we had to help her because not a single employee walked over. Read more
Cozy dinning area. We were seated quickly. Just so you know the online menu doesn’t match the menu at restaurant. The salads... were good. The servers were very attentive. The food is fresh. Read more
Really good experience. Great meal and service. Enjoyed the patio while waiting for the Hack the Moon event at Draper with the... band 1999. Read more
Pricey, meh. It's a tiny dining room off the lobby of a fancy hotel. Prices include gratuity. Not great for a quick dinner, but... handy if you are staying in one of the many hotels in the area for a few days and want a change of pace. Service attitude variedfrom the supercilious and oddly stiff to frank and friendly with the different wait staff and servers during just one meal. Themuch bally-hooed homemade potato chips were not crisp and not overly flavorful. I've eaten better food at a pub, felt morewelcome, and paid a whole bunch less. Read more
Good but not amazing. It was cold and raining and it was close to where our meetings were. Had a steak and it was good. Service... was great and staff friendly. Cozy space. Read more
Just had dinner here and everything was SUPER delicious! Perfectly cooked, wonderfully seasoned. Attentive and kind service,... too! My only quibble is that the prices are a bit towards the splurge range :(. My dinner of modest-sized salad, lobsterravioli, small cake+ice cream, and water came to $60 after tax. Then again, this is in a hotel, it is in the Boston Area,and it did come with a tasty dinner roll and sweet corn bread. Read more
An eclectic, quaint little place with great atmosphere, friendly service, and fantastic food. Salmon I had was fresh and moist,... prepared to perfection with a light citrus sauce and spices. Wild rice with orange zest, sautéed spinach (just slightly toowell salted, but I'm picky that way), and grilled asparagus wrapped in a thinly sliced carrot wrap complemented the fish and waspresented with care. My daughter's pasta was equally interesting--truffle oil and fresh grated cheese, lightly grilled red,orange, and yellow peppers amongst other touches. The meals at the table next to ours from the 8 inch tall stacked burger tothe kale and chicken salad looked great as well (I saw the kale and chicken salad after I'd ordered--next visit it's amust). The wait staff (team of three served us) was friendly, engaging, and described the menu as if it was the first time theyhad been asked, not from rote script that is all too often the case. The dining room was very cozy (about 10 tables in a 20 by20 room) and shared the fireplace with the hotel guests in the very intimate lobby. (if you're looking for privateconversation, probably not the best place to go due to the closeness of tables--but it added to the pub-like informality thatwas clearly intended). If I had any negative comment it was minor--the young waitress didn't quite know the etiquette of winetasting and serving failing to leave me the cork and pouring my glass first after I'd tasted rather than pouring my daughtersglass first--but that's the worst one can find with this hidden gem. Now we were there late (8:30 PM) on a slow weekday night,so if it was a very busy weekend perhaps our experience would have been different. But from my perspective, it would be hard togo wrong at the Black Sheep. Read more
This place has been closed since the pandemic yet the Google map shows they are open until 10pm. Front desk stated they can’t... control Google, yet they are across the street from a big Google corporate building- the restaurant could report the inaccurateinformation. Not a big deal but hey- it’s cold outside!!!! Read more
