Craigie on Main
Craigie on Main Review
Late in 2008 Chef Tony Maws shuttered the popular Craigie Street Bistrot, reopening in this new eatery a few blocks away in Central Square. Though the premises are larger (with room for a full bar!), the space retains its charm, and Maws's passion for all things fresh, local, and organic hasn't wavered. He is in the kitchen every morning, prepping ingredients that most likely came from the Harvard or Central Square farmers' market or another local purveyor. The menu changes daily, so options can range from a Spanish-style octopus to dayboat black bass to pork done three ways. Sunday is Chef's Whim Night, meaning that after 9 pm you'll eat (and likely love) four to six courses of whatever Maws feels like cooking for a discounted price ($40 to $55). Brunch is served Sunday.
