Best Restaurants for People Watching in West Cambridge

Was a big fan of this retuarant group's Temple Bar which closed much to my disappointment a while back making a visit to Russell House very much anticipated. This restarant didnt disapoint. I arrived early and enjoyed a few drinks at the bar. The bar had an exccellent selection of cocktails, craft beers and high end liquors not found everywhere (Pappy Van Winckle). The bar is upstairs and once we finished and hit our reservation time slot we went downstairs for dinner. The menu was creative, the portions modest and the food very good. We had a few appetizers then our main course. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was vibrant but not excessively loud. I very much enjoyed the experience and look forward to a return.

Daniel and his team have the best pizza in town. Our family loves Source - this visit was to celebrate my husband's birthday - and the meal did not disappoint. There are always fresh ingredients, attentive service, and leave room for the fresh baked cookies for dessert. Thanks Source team for making us feel so welcome every time.

Alden & Harlow has remained consistent with beautiful presentation and delicious offerings. Always a pleasure to return with the expectation of quality. Attentive friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to come here - it’s my go to place in Harvard Square - I’ve been coming here for years- a very pleasant experience every time

We had a great time with a yamm food before going to hockey game.
