High spot has a great happy hour from 4-6pm The appetizers are 1/2 off and drinks are $2 off Our waitress Audrey was very kind, cheerful & attentive We will definitely go back whenever we return to Cambridge

First time in Cambridge after driving all day wanted something for dinner close to our hotel. Found High spot on line gave it a try. It was my Birthday dinner very good food no wait left full and satisfied. very nice waitress overall price was high but otherwise would recommend a visit.

Best spot in Cambridge for a meal. If you are traveling it's also a quick dip into downtown for good local food.Fish and Chips!Shrimp and Grits!
Good service but food was average. The “frites” look like Orieda and the Cole slaw and roasted potatoes that came with the fried chicken were underwhelming. Everything sounded better than it tasted.

Our waitress was spectacular! Very personable and service was great. I wish We had remembered to get her name. Six of us came in at six o'clock and sat in the window at a round table. 2 of us had the prime rib which wasn't very good. Fish and chips, also not good. Fried chicken salad was good. Fried oysters ... not too good. Seared tuna special was delicious.

Old fashioned was 10/10. Food was 8/10.

Cute setting, but disappointing food. Two orders of the Steak Frites (requested medium) came out very differently. And both were chewy. Medium burger came out well-done, and not very flavorful. Really wanted to like it, but too expensive for just okay food.

The noise level of the restaurant was extremely high. It was hard to hear my friend speaking. Our waitress was great. My dinner...steak and fries was lousy. The steak tasted like it had been in the freezer to long and was over cooked. Certainly not a $29 meal. I also had the lemon blueberry marscapone cake. It also tasted as if had been frozen to long. The meal with tip was over $50...the food was the quality of a restaurant half that price.

It's a cool happy hour spot. It can get noisy because of that, so if that isn't your thing, you may want to find something else. Something quick with friends may be ideal. I would like to say that Ms Shana was a great hostess. We had Mac and cheese, calamari, and crab mushrooms. All were ok. The main dishes were not good. My son's burger was fine though. My crab cake was small for the price and wasn't very flavorful. The grits were dry. The green beans were good. My husband ordered shrimp and grits. He didn't eat it. The sauce was watery and the taste was more Thai than Cajun. We were told that there was a new chef. We went based on the previous reviews, but currently not impressed by what is being served.

We ordered cocktails, salad, fried oysters, and a turkey dinner. My old fashioned was delicious. The salad was good but the oysters were very, very salty which seems to happen often with fried oysters. My husbands turkey dinner came out without mashed potatoes or gravy but he told the waitress and she fixed it immediately. It was fine for the price but we'd probably go to Ava's next time because they have the best meatballs ever!
One of the worst experiences I've had. Apps were delivered cold, dinner order was incorrect and took so long to correct (judt a salad!) that we decided to get the check instead, and service was inattentive. The restaurant was not particularly fully, really disappointed and won't be going back.
The Buffalo oysters were a fun take on fried oysters but didn't seem very fresh. We overheard one server tell the table behind us that she was “really busy and didn't have time to talk” when they asked about a menu item. She just gave the place a bad vibe. Our entrees were delicious! The salted caramel crunch cake had potential but tasted like it had been sitting in cardboard in the fridge for too long.

Came for our 10th anniversary while staying at the Hyatt. Food is much better and more reasonably priced than the resort (as you'd expect). Best fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits we've ever had. Cocktails were great as well!

I ordered a soup of the day, and it was minestrone soup,but the soup was cold, and my husband ordered ribeye steak, and it was dry and chewy. The drinks were good.

I see others review this place highly. We did not have a good experience. To start, there was a live bug crawling in my husband's salad. The waitress brought someone over and took the plate to "investigate". We were not offered another side in it's place. Several of our party ordered the prime rib medium rare and got the worst prime rib I've ever tasted. I believe it was reheated in a microwave and was a medium well. The au jus was over salty. We were so disappointed. When we told the waitress she disappeared and we barely saw her again. They took off 2 drinks from the bill but that did not compensate for our awful experience. Would never return here.
