   Drink: Sage Advice 5/5 Food: Lobster Cacio e Pepe 4.5/5 Hickory Smoked Shrimp 7/5 (have an appetizer if you're hungry) Food was great. I had the lobster cacio e pepe. Noodles were cooked well unlike last time I was here in April. Waypoint a great in & out spot. You can tell the goal is to turnaround tables quickly. Wouldn't recommend for lounging after a meal due to noise level. $1 oysters makes the bar quite busy but seats seemed to move fast. Requested a booth and was placed near the kitchen, I personally didn't mind but beware of the clanking plates and silverware in your ear if you do sit on that side.

   We’ve had lovely times at Waypoint before but our experience tonight left something to be desired. Multiple items on the menu were out of stock and our drink and food orders were forgotten or delayed. Staff were friendly and responsive and the food was delicious.

   The food was delicious. Service was lacking. It was Monday night so not particularly busy but the staff was absent.

   Came with my sister who was visiting Boston and had never been to Cambridge. The ambiance is elegant and modern and the cocktails & food were very good. Service was super friendly and helpful as well. HIGHLY recommend the lobster caccio e Pepe. Will return!!

   We love Alden & Harlow and had high hopes. But the parking in the area is bleak, no one answers the phone like by design - no way to connect with a person or have leave a message, the service was inept, the stager guy was even more so … plus an arrogant a—. We were seated and waited ten minutes for the inept waitress to introduce herself. Two other parties seated behind us were served drinks before we were given a hello. When we asked what’s good she read the whole menu giving no new detail. Service wise the delay between a second course hickory shrimp and the final course of lobster Caccio e Pepe was thirty minutes and no one apologized even though we had to follow up twice to finally be served food that was nearly cold. There were just two small pieces of lobster including half a small claw meat for $38. To add insult to injury they don’t know how to make a manhattan. They used dry vermouth and they used the wrong ratios. The small coupe glass was only half full for twenty dollars. We will not be back and do not recommend anyone visit this place. In many years of using OpenTable this is my most negative review I’ve ever had the occasion to write. Absolutely awful experience.

    Went last night for dinner, I looked for best $1 oysters in Boston and this restaurant came up. It really deserves the title. We were 4 for dinner. Had a really cute booth up front. We were the first ones there at a few minutes before 5(they open at 5) but they seated us anyway. My kids ordered burgers , my husband and I had the oysters and the kids tried them too. It was really good and fresh! Amazing. We ordered a plain tomato fresh mozzarella pizza for appetizers and it was so good my husband changed his entree order to another pizza pie. I had the hiramasa. Crudo. It was good but small portion. It was appetizer sized. I would definitely order something different next time. Fresh donuts and budino (pudding) wrapped up the dinner and it was amazing. Fresh made donuts is on another planet. I definitely recommend it. Btw my husband is from Italy and very picky about his pizza. He said it was the best pizza he had had in USA. Bravo!
