Restaurants near MIT

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

A great evening! Excellent service and delicious food. It was so busy during our visit and our waiter made an effort to make us feel cared for. Food was incredible.

What do lead with?? Server Freddy (from NW Mexico) made us feel like we were in his kitchen with his mom cooking. Owner Eric picked up on my SLIGHT eye cue and came right over to make sure we were really enjoying ourselves in his restaurant. And the food: Best nachos we have ever eaten. And tacos. We've got to go back to comment on more food items. THANK YOU for making us so happy and providing a level of hospitality that many places in Boston do not understand.

This place is one of my all-time favorites, and I have been coming here for years. Their wine dinners are a must for anyone who loves food and wine. The pairings are always spectacular; the team works diligently to choose excellent wines that perfectly complement the dishes they prepare. They go the extra mile by educating guests about the wines and the regions they come from. Additionally, attendees have the opportunity to purchase some of the featured wines during the event, which is a great bonus. I rarely write reviews, but last night was such an exceptional experience that I felt compelled to share it. The whole team at Catalyst did a tremendous job making us all feel special.

Great place to have a quick bite and connect with friends
