Tucked in a converted greenhouse, Daedalus is a casual restaurant that serves New American cuisine and drinks in spacious surrounds. The restaurant's menu changes to reflect the season. Diners rave about the crab cake sandwich, the buffalo tenders and the Daedalus burger.

A neighborhood favorite, Daedalus boasts a roof deck that delivers a lovely view of Harvard square. It also hosts two bars (one located on each floor)

I’ve been there twice ordered something different each time and both were delicious. I have such a hard time deciding because everything looks amazing. Service great. It’s my favorite place.

A very nice evening. Excellent server, Joe. A nice chat with the owner (?) Brendan. Very good, healthy food, well-presented. Comfortable dining room (and a lovely deck in the summer). Had to ask for bread; smaller side salads not on the menu, though we were accommodated. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Daedalus, and will come back again.

Everything was excellent, as always! Food, service all outstanding. Joe was a delight. And when I was almost home, Brendan called to tell me that a brooch I was wearing had been found in our booth. Such thoughtful and kind service. Daedalus is a special place.
