Mothership is a familiar neighborhood hang. Mothership is a place where you can gather with your co-workers after a long day or skip the cooking at home and bring the whole family in. Shareable appetizers for the table, healthy and allergen-friendly options, or a homestyle classic. All are paired with good vibes + beverage options that suit everyone. Whether you're coming with the crew or watching the game at the bar by yourself, we’re your second living room; a place to hang.

Free parking is available to all Mothership guests at 140 Cambridgepark Drive. Take the first left after Mothership, and you will see a parking garage on the left. Simply press the intercom button, and let them know you are a guest of Mothership for entrance!

Went there for the first time last night on Valentine’s Day. This is one of the new restaurants that has opened up in the alewife area now that there’s a lot of housing. They have nice friendly staff, but the service is a bit slow because they seemed understaffed with waiters. They have a bar shuffleboard table that’s kinda nice. Wasn’t crazy about the cocktail choices. Place seems to mostly cater to youger couples and our families with kids who live in the area. Food is average in my opinion, but not overpriced as the most expensive entrée is $31 and most are in the mid 20s. Also if you’re vegan or vegetarian, there aregood options here. The empanadas were very tasty. The dumplings are really thick on the dough and chewy and then my wife, and I agreed that the vegetarian filling was a bit dry so you really needed to have with the spicy dipping sauce. The Bolognese was massively overcooked, and while the flavor of the sauce was good the pasta was an absolute mush. That dish was the biggest disappointment for me. The shaved brussels sprouts salad was quite tasty though with halloumi. I probably won’t go back as it’s not my scene and I prefer a higher level of dining.

As always, the food is excellent value for money, and the service is equally good. We were there on Trivia Night, and the place was packed. Since we are not trivia aficionados we sat, as did others, in the room off to the side, a good setting for a cozy conversation with friends.

I enjoy trivia on Wednesday nights. Staff greets me by name and seats my group at our usual table. It feels like home. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The trivia contest is so fun even if we don’t know the answers. Give it a try…you’ll love it too.

We went to their gluten free night and have been there before with their regular menu. The food is delicious and interesting - not what you find at every restaurant. There are super allergy/food restriction aware and take great care of us! Go!

I always enjoy my Mothership experience. The Wednesday trivia allows our group an occasion to gather in a fun setting. The service is always personal and attentive. Staff even remembers my name and puts us at our special table. The food is great. I love the haute hot dogs on the shareable menu. A friend raved about her halibut dish tonight. I’ll be back often. Try it…you’ll love it too.
