Great tapas and great service! Located in Cambridge which was a quick Uber for us from Burlington and Boston. Stopped by on a week night for dinner and there was no wait. We walked in and were quickly seated. It is very dim and intimate here. Perfect for a date night. Love that you can see the kitchen working in the back. Our server Melissa was super helpful and friendly helping us order the right amount since it was our first time. Our food came out super quick. The dishes here are tapas style so you order 2 3 per person and share. Corn fritter super crispy and good! The corn was so sweet! I liked that it was not overly oily. Grilled ribs loved the sweet sticky sauce! The ribs were not dry...

Food was not very flavorful but was full of oil. Meat inside of empanada is runny. Manti was super oily. Noodles were very oily and more sprouts than noodles. We ordered all but one type of oyster they offered. They came on a pizza stand? They were all already dislodged from the shell and all extremely watery and salty. Service from runners and bussers was very efficient and polite. We had our small plates changed three times lol. However our actual waiter was not very attentive and did not check on us after our food was delivered to see if we needed anything. Again, polite but inattentive and not proactively helpful. Drinks were just alright. Host has great style. Music and ambiance was goo...

I gotta tell you, my recent visit to the Little Monkey Restaurant in Boston was a total hit! As soon as I stepped inside, I could feel the cozy vibes. The menu? Oh, it's a food lover's dream – plenty of choices to suit everyone's taste buds. Now, the food itself? Let's just say it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. But here's the best part – the service was top-notch. The staff was super friendly, knew their stuff, and made us feel right at home. Whether you're planning a chill date night or a fun meal with pals, you've gotta check out the Little Monkey Restaurant. Trust me; it's a real hidden gem in Boston!

Flavors 3/5 Textures 3.5/5 Presentation 3/5 Value for Money 2/5 Must try: burger Would return? No Initially came to try the burger because it is on every best Burger in Boston list. Is it though? The burger is actually pretty nice, loved the flavor combo and textural contrast of the foie gras and ships, but very few bites provided the full experience. It 's also slider size and $17. The tuna and salmon tartar left a lot to be desired the crispy rice was barely crispy and the tartar underseasoned. This might be controversial but I did not enjoy their cacio e pepe ramen at all. The noodles were perfectly cooked but just seemed like a bowl of noodles drowned in butter. Nothing to complaint abou... Book a table now

Go here for little bites and grear service. The waittress was top notch!! She really made us feel at home here and chose best selection for us. The bites were very unique range of food. Lots of vegeterian options are served here. The roasted cauliflower was roastwd perfectly. My favorite bite was crispy chicken sandwhich with slaw. It was delivious and juicy. The cookie dough was very sweet. It was sweet indulgence. My coworker shared her raspberry sorbert with me. It was really light and refreshing.

Love their internationally inspired small plates. Been for brunch and dinner twice. For dinner, we were plenty full when we got 2 dishes per person. I recommend the kowloon fried cauliflower and pupusa. Also enjoyed the Bangkok street noodles and fried chicken sandwich (spicy! really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. For brunch, I went during the Brick Street Bagels pop up and had a delicious mortadella bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was a little disappointing but Little Donkey's toppings elevated it a lot.

Little Doneky is a great spot! I've been there a handful of times, only for drinks, but I've heard the food is pretty good. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Painkiller, which had a nice flavor and was actually a very large drink. I was able to nurse it for about 2 hours with no issue! I recall having the sangria on another occasion and it was also decent. Location wise, it's super convenient, right in the middle of Central Square. I'd recommend sitting at the bar if you're looking for more of a casual vibe.

I've visited this spot countless times and have always loved their cocktails. This time, I tried the fried rice, which they kindly made vegan upon request. It was delicious, though I wished it had a bit more uniqueness. Still, I'd definitely order it again! As always, the service was fantastic--friendly and attentive. We went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing evening. Plus, they've opened their window for the summer season, adding a great vibe to the place! Book a table now
