Abigail's - Cambridge

One of my favorite places when I use to live in Boston. It was a very nice evening while visiting the city for the weekend. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. Drinks were average in reality to how they were described on the menu. So wish they’d have kept the habanero wings on the menu. Garlic spinach was so good we’re attempting to make at home tonight.

They claimed we did not have a reservation, but seated us anyway. Shabby, ugly, noisy, but good food.

This is my second visit to Abigail’s, and unfortunately, it has been a significant disappointment once again. The quality of the food is at best mediocre. Yesterday, a group of us ordered the salad with grilled chicken for lunch, and the chicken was nearly inedible—it's hard to tell if it was undercooked or something else. The lettuce was difficult to cut and chew as well. To make matters worse, the waiter presented the check without inquiring whether we wanted coffee or dessert. Given that this was a business lunch, it was rather embarrassing regarding the quality of the food.

The atmosphere and service were nice. The food was delicious and well-prepared. The only downside was the limited selection on the lunch menu.

The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere in the lively Kendall Square was fantastic. The bar area is outstanding. For some reason, I find their hamburgers completely irresistible. They also know how to craft a great Hendricks martini. I can't wait to return. Since my wife works in Kendall, you can bet we'll be back soon!
