The Abbey

My wife and I dined here on impulse and we're glad we did. The salmon and cod (picture) were perfectly prepared, the wait staff were personable and professional and the alfresco atmosphere was divine. A memorable experience for our visit to Cambridge.

Black pepper gnocchi was really good, just a tad too salty. But I could tell it was really nicely made, good ingredients and lots of flavour. I would definitely recommend (if they would tone down the saltiness by a bit). The fries were really nice, crispy, salted well, and savoury. The presentation of the food was great, no complaints and the food looked delicious. The service was great too: food came on time, server always checked up on us, even though they didn’t have sparkling lemonade on the menu, they still made it for us when we asked. Dessert was a warm cookie with ice cream and that was delicious, we ate it all before I even got to take a photo. A little bit on the pricier side here, but it’s Cambridge/Boston, so pretty typical. Would I come here again? Food-wise, yes. If I’m paying for the meal, no. It’s expensive.

Phenomenal dinner with my wife. Cod was perfectly done and melted in my mouth like butter. Rye cocktail paired well with it.
We also enjoyed the brie and pretzel apps. Service was very friendly. We loved the artwork decor and change to 70s rock later in the evening.

Beautiful atmosphere and deliciously gourmet. Staff was very personable, professional and friendly.

Tried the Beef Poutine (first time), very good. Couple of cocktails later (Smokey Robinson and Purple Haze) topped off the experience.

Went there to eat. All the food that it group ordered was excellent. Beet salad with added Salmon was the best! Burgers, fries, deserts were awesome as well. Appetizers we're fresh and hot. Service was great and friendly. Easy parking during the week.

The place looks good, a casual place to enjoy a meal and good conversation. The staff was very attentive and nice. The food was pretty good, and they have a big selection of beers. Prices are good. I would go back to this place.

I was in town for a concert and was looking for a late night menu that didn't serve only snacks or junk food. This place was a great discovery! Full menu available until 1:30 am and the food was amazing! Melissa was our waitress tonight and did a wonderful job. We ordered a steak and fries (we subbed our fries for their side of cauliflower and capers) and deviled eggs. I am definitely going back when I am back!

Bartender was so knowledgeable and had awesome recs. Cocktails were top notch

I had these egg rolls with sausage and veggies ...was awesome..crispy and delicious and it was quite late when I got there unlike the rest of boston totally shuts down after like 8 p.m. u can't even get a cup of coffee anywhere supposedly due to labor shortage?? Millions of service workers around from border areas and still everybody but this place shuts down real early...food delicious by the way and they probably showing a profit unlike 99 percent of so called restaurants around Boston

The food was to die for!! The service by Matthew and Matthew was phenomenal. We had a group of 14- very demanding, yet every request was met with grace. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. We are from NY and cannot wait to go back to Boston!

I went there for drink with a friend. We also ordered some appetizers. The service was pretty good. We sat outside and the server was very attentive and came to check on us to make sure we are good on our drinks. I thought the overall experience was pleasant. It definitely has a local pub vibe and it would be a place I come with friends regularly if I live in the neighborhood.

Food was delicious and quick, the bartender lady super nice and even helped me pick another drink to go with my dinner. Overall good experience, decent place for dinner with friends I’d say.

Delicious shrimp tacos with truffle fries! Friendly service, great neighborhood restaurant! 🍤🌮🌟 And warm cookie in a skillet with scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and caramel sauce! 😋

Absolutely love their grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch (before 4pm) and their baked brie and caprese options for dinner! Baked brie, tomato bisque & grilled cheese, and arugula salad with pear pictured below.

Only a couple of tables for outdoor seating, but unless it's summertime, expect to eat indoors. Nice decor inside.

Came here as part of an event that was unfortunately timed to occur the same weekend as the Boston Marathon. This was the only place that could do events during this time, and though the area was smaller, the service was great and the atmosphere was even better.

The Abbey is one of those places you can order anything on the menu and be blown away. The Chef clearly has a skill for building a menu; they have the classics done extraordinary to rope you in and build that trust, and then you can go for the more adventurous stuff knowing that if its on this menu, its fricking good.

Love this place. Open late night with great food and drinks. The rotating menu always offers something new.

I love this place, food, atmosphere and staff. One request though, BRING BACK THE BIG MAC EGG ROLLS!!!! Please of course.

First rate and very friendly service at the bar and table. Excellent food and drink. Deservedly popular and there may be a wait.
