About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Innovative
Good for groups

In Central Square, Althea serves grill-driven American comfort alongside a raw bar and natural wines. Chefs Greg Reeves and Shauna Reyburn transformed the former Dial space into a lively patio restaurant that feels fresh, welcoming, and built for a great neighborhood dinner.

They squeezed us in between two big private parties. Thanks goodness because I would have missed the best pork belly I have ever eaten. Perfection! Thank you!

A gem of a restuarant. Excellent food, delicious wine all presented by excellent servers. My one tweek would be to turn up the lights just a little bit. I really appreciate the cozy feeling but a little more light would be a good thing!

Service and atmosphere on the patio were lovely. Having the band playing was really great. Almost all of the multiple dishes we had were really delicious, but for some reason the Caesar salad was flavorless and the banana bread dessert was terribly dry and practically inedible. For a kitchen that obviously knows good food I was so surprised they even sent out that dessert. Overall a very nice dinner!

We sat in the outdoor courtyard area and everything was wonderful except that the live music was just too loud to enjoy a conversation without having to strain to hear or talk too loud to be heard. I love live music on a good patio…I just wish they would realize it’s not a concert in that setting. People are there to talk to each other, not just listen to your music in silence : )

Excellent place to eat before the show. But check the menu because it’s quite limited.

Overall we really enjoyed our meal. The salmon crudo was particularly good! The dishes are meant to be shared, and there’s not really a distinction between starters and mains.

Our waiter made the experience. Drinks were good but I would not go back for the food. The bar and outdoor area are beautiful.
