Vincent's,

233 Cardinal Medeiros Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02141

"I thought it was a very nice place. The service was good even though they were short staffed. The food was interesting and tasty. I really liked the butternut squash main, it stood out to me. The veggies dishes were good. I tried the Texas rabbit and duck dish. It seemed a bit all over the place concept wise. It was tasty but I probably wouldn't order it again for myself. I will go back and try more. I really want to try the brunch and a few things once their fryer is back up and running."

"This was our second visit, and we have had a great experience both times. For our most recent visit we sat at the bar and Matthew took great care of us. If you enjoy cocktails this place, and their sister restaurant State Park, are great options. Definitely will be back!"

"Stopped here for dinner after walking past a few times recently. The food was delicious- The duck breast in my entree was melt-in-your-mouth, and my husband said the sausage that came with his cassoulet was the best he’s had since he lived in Germany several years ago. The cocktails and the service were truly exceptional. Fantastic atmosphere inside as well. We definitely plan to come back when it’s a bit warmer to take advantage of the patio seating too."

"A simple menu with bright flavors. I got the Vincent’s board with a nice soft cheese, rhubarb sauce (I think it’s a sauce?), crostini. I really liked the cheese. It was easily spreadable and not super strong like brie is. The rhubarb sauce was surprisingly tangy, not sweet like I expected. The crostini was a bit burnt, though. The other item is pate, but I’m vegetarian, so I didn’t eat it (my roommate did, though, so it didn’t go to waste!) For my main, I got the tamale. I expected a bit more food than a single tamale given the price. It was a bit basic and didn’t have a lot of taste. The star of the show was the passion fruit tart, though. Super flavorful and creamy. There aren’t a lot of vegetarian options, so keep that in mind. The prices were a bit high, especially given how little food there was. But the passion fruit tart was worth the cost. The atmosphere felt very intimate with low lighting and close seating. The server was very kind and kept checking in with us. And I think it’s interesting they have a 20% service fee that is distributed to all employees (servers, bartenders, back of house staff, etc)."

"Vincent’s is a small new restaurant near the Kendall Square Cinema where I went for brunch and got three excellent breakfast tacos. I’m used to getting three tacos generally for a meal, but if you get anything beyond the basic, but delicious B.E.C. taco you really only need to get two because they are quite large. I think this place would make a good date spot because of the ambiance and the small cozy bar tucked away near the front of the dining room. Update: Recently just had dinner here and enjoyed the flavors of all the dishes. I will say the Chicken Two Ways was well worth the price, but I felt the Mussels + John Dory and the Breads and Spreads were smaller portions than anticipated so keep that in mind."
