Craigie On Main

We sat "ringside" and got to see each dish for the evening carefully prepared - really neat! Everyone seemed to be all about "the burger" but don't miss out on the awesome dinner menu. Our favorite dish was the squid ink pasta - spicy, salty, and savory in all the right amounts. Also enjoyed the rice pudding dessert that ended up being an interesting take on a pavlova, and the chocolate mousse. The mousse had a potentially dangerous combo: mint and orange, but tasted awesome. Will be back.

This is an amazing French restaurant! The food is out of this World! We had the pork 3 ways and the rib was one of the best ever! The black linguine with clams were great. The beef marrow in the bone was amazing. The chocolate dessert was great! I highly recommend this restaurant. Its not cheap but well worth it!

Love this wonderful restaurant. The burger is always worth the hype. The ever-changing menu never fails to bring wonderful ingredients to the table full of flavor and beautifully presented. The Craigie Next Door patio is an awesome response to the limitations from the pandemic, and the food lives up to the restaurant’s reputation from before.

Sigh. Another day, another GREAT MEAL at COM. This place has evolved over several years into a ‘go to’ Boston institution for many (including myself) when in need of a solidly executed, consistently excellent, always creative meal that incorporates complex flavors, ingredients, and textures. The classic burger has attained cult-like status, so much so that it’s hard for locals to snag one unless they arrive early and get in line. The new burger of the month has relieved some of that stress and of the two months that I’ve had them, they’ve been excellent. Restaurant and pre fixe: are always top drawer. Bar food and cocktails: exceptional. Service: always 5/5, never stuffy or pretentious, always helpful and willing to accommodate. Don’t be afraid of the specials. Example: Recently I had a t

Craigie on Main ranks high on many online as the go-to option for haute cuisine as well as bar food and cocktails. Despite the rave reviews, we felt there are ample other restaurants in Cambridge and Boston that do not succumb to the hype as Craigie did. Though the staff was excellent, the vibe was outstanding, and the whole team was on the same page; the food was just underwhelming. The limited option burger was not nearly as great as advertised (nor even as good as the Craigie-inspired burger restaurant in Fenway's Time Out Market), and sadly our swordfish entrée tasted solely of the overpowering salt it was seasoned with. Overall, big thumbs up on the ambiance and kind and helpful staff, but the food left much to wish for, especially considering the price point.
