    Fantastic food, impeccable service, and well worth the visit! What a fantastic experience at Saltie Girl! We started with the oysters, followed by the warm lobster roll for my main course, and both were absolutely delicious. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the service was equally impeccable. A word of caution though… make a reservation! This place is incredibly popular, with queues literally stretching out the door. Without a reservation, you could find yourself waiting quite some time. Thankfully, we booked through OpenTable and were seated almost immediately. And whatever you do, save a little room for dessert! The chocolate chip cookie is an absolute must and the perfect way to finish an already fantastic meal. Great food, excellent service, and clearly a restaurant that deserves its popularity. We’ll definitely be back!

    With it's limited but well-prepared offering and café ambiance, Café St. Germaine creates a little bit of Paris in a busy corner of Somerville/Cambridge. It's a neighborhood gem.

    Food was fabulous and service was great. Noise level was quite high, and would have liked a few more veggie options on the menu, but overall highly recommended.

    One of my favorite eating places. Delicious food. The grilled corn is the best ever. The table side guacamole is great. The churros were delicious too. Our server Simi suggested we try the fajitas. They were excellent. I make it a point to eat here every time I am in Boston.
