Cambridge/Somerville Restaurant Help
 
Need to eventually get to Davis Square and looking for a dinner place ahead of time. Doesn't have to be in Davis Square - just someplace that would be a short commute on the T, walking or quick cab/uber.

Thinking possibly of TW Food, Bergamot or Alden & Harlow (ate here once and did not love but always willing to give a place another try). Would welcome your thoughts on these places or any others in the general vicinity. Thanks!!

We had a good meal at A&H recently. I think you're either into their style of food or you're not. Although I think it works better if you're with a group and can order a variety of plates.

I personally found the food to be really heavy at A&H but know that it really has its fans so thought we might have had an off night.

Maybe we're thinking of different places, since A&H specializes in small tapas-like plates.

http://aldenharlow.com/ - I assume we are talking about the same place.

IN Davis Square, there is Orleans, Out of the Blue, Foundry on Elm, and the ever popular Redbones barbecue, among others. Sarma is closer to Union Square. Casa B in Union Square. La Brasa is one of the newest, nearest Sullivan Square.

The I guess we disagree on what "heavy" food means.

I think I'm going to try it again on Thursday and will report back. Maybe I ordered poorly last time? People seem pretty excited about the vegetables.

Samba - thanks for the suggestions.

Ended up at Spoke in Davis Sq. It was fantastic! Better than A&H (but I've only been to A&H once). Full report to follow!
