    Had a lovely meal and experience last night at The Hourly. Tasty oysters, creamy rich lobster bisque, wonderful brussels, etc. And the prices aren't terrible for Cambridge. We've recommended to others.

    Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.

    Visited The Banks with colleagues for a work dinner and was pleased with the full experience - from host stand all the way through meal service. Host was accommodating our group asking to not be seated near the door on a cold night, server was attentive (albeit busy with many tables), and food runners were prompt and accurate. Food was delicious across the board - from soups to appetizers to mains - but the portion sizes were a little light relative to the cost. Not unreasonable for a special occasion or work event. Would gladly recommend and visit again.
