At the moment, there's no online availability within 2.5 hours of your request. Do you have another time in mind?

About the restaurant
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)

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.

Thank you for a wonderful 2024 season. The Outer Bar is closed for the season and will reopen mid-May of 2025!

Our dinner menu consists of elevated comfort food along hearty New England fare, killer burgers and sandwiches. We also feature a lunch menu during the weekdays and a weekend brunch program.

Cityside is a the best tavern in the Boston college area - but that is not saying much. Best option around for sure, but service is a bit slow. Food is good and well priced. Drinks a bit expensive for the area, but typical for boston.
