★★★★☆ 4.0 Raj D. · Dec 2025

It's a gorgeous restaurant with decent seating. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries, one of my friends got the same but with Brussel sprouts on the side while the other got Grilled Cheeseburger. Food was absolutely delicious, my favorite were the fries! Well seasoned and crispy. For drinks, the first drink was awful:( (it was a house cocktail, I forgot the name but it had clarified milk). The hostess was really nice let me reorder. Second time I ordered Upscale Retail, that was also bad but not as bad as the first. Overall, I recommend the food but not the drinks.

When The Lexington first opened its doors a few years back, it was one of the top dining spots in Cambridge. My experiences with Cambridge Street Hospitality Group's restaurants have typically been positive, and The Lexington was no exception. With its seasonal outdoor rooftop deck and contemporary American menu curated by Gilson, I was occasionally drawn in for a round of light drinks and a casual dinner. I recently got to try their brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The menu was a quintessential example of contemporary American brunch fare, and overall, the dishes we chose were good. Highlights for me included the Smoked Salmon and the Sourdough French Toast. The salmon was served atop a crispy mini potato waffle, with the addition of sour cream and red onions complementing the smoked fis

Service was so nice, waitress was very patient and accommodating! Atmosphere was great and loved the setup of the place. Went for dinner and the lighting was pretty dark and got a little hard to see but they provide small lamps if you ask. Portion sizes made sense for the price.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Nakul Kadaba · Mar 2023

Spacious restaurant near the corporate offices in lechmere. Came here for a work event and though there was a bit of confusion about getting our table, were seated quite quickly. Food items - particularly appetizers and small plates - were great. Get the onion dip and duck tostada in particular. The jalapeno bacon croquettes were also a big hit. For main courses, the gnocchi and seafood dishes were great. Dessert dishes were ok, not amazing for the end of the meal. Drinks also were delicious - there's a wide selection of cocktails and the wine selection was varied. Service was a bit spotty. Because we were a larger group, I thought we would be waited upon quickly but a few items - particularly drinks - took a long time to get to us with repeated inquiries about the same. Given it's prox

★★★☆☆ 3.0 S Damon · Dec 2025

I placed a to-go order because I was really craving a good burger. I ordered a medium-well burger with fries. When I got back to my hotel and opened the order, I was disappointed to see that the burger was cooked closer to medium than medium-well. I tried a few bites, but it was too pink for my preference, so I couldn’t finish it. The fries, however, were good. Overall, I would be willing to try this place again—next time, I’d likely dine in to ensure the burger is cooked exactly how I like it.
