Gragoyles has some amazing food. Everything is very unique, mixes you would never think of, but are absolutely delicious. The only negative was that it was pretty dark, I actually wasn't sure what part of my dish was.

This little place in Powderhouse square is a gem of a place. The people who are dissapointed go there with wrong expectations. If you want Tacos, Burritos or Quesedias at a cheap price, go to Anna's Taqueria in Davis Square. If you want just a drink go to other bars in Davis. I have enjoyed every meal there. Only one appetizer dissappointed, the crepe with the fungus that grows on corn. The boraccha is great and so is shredde pork and the stuffed cactus paddle. The Sangria is tangy and the wait staff are pleasant.
Pros: Authentic Mexican food(I guess) Tasty
Cons: No Margeritas

Diesel Cafe has a great menu. They have a lot of unique drinks that the other local coffee shops don't serve, such as my favorite the chocolate chai. I have not eaten there, but their food also always looks good. They offer a lot of healthy options and some vegetarian options. All of the employees are very friendly and happy to thelp you out.
I usually find the atmosphere to be too busy to do any work. Lots of people coming in and out and some boisterous patrons. Last time I was there they had some pool tables set up with fairly inexpensive rates. It can be a nice alternative at night to some of the local bars.

I often go to the Kebab Factory for lunch with colleagues. Its guaranteed to impress out of town clients, and new customers. However, I find that the spices are often bland (compared to other Indian restaurants) and the buffet menu does not change often. Still, if there is a place in Cambridge/Somerville that will definitely fill my appetite, this is it!
Pros: atmosphere, reliable food, friendly service
Cons: buffet does not change

Brunch at Johnny D's goes from 9-2:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is busier by far and you should come before 10:30am if you don't want to be waiting in a packed bar for an hour. The pancakes, poached eggs, catfish, and especially the oatmeal (o the oatmeal!) are all excellent. For those who used to come here and hate the coffee, it's recently improved and is now very good. There's half price dinner Tuesday-Friday from 4:30-6:30pm and it is a great deal - high end salmon plate for $7? Excellent. The spinach pear salad is bigger than your head. The desserts are dangerous. If you come here for dinner and linger after 8pm the staff will ask if you're staying for the show - if not, get ready to be out of there by 9, or pay a cover to stay. Kitchen is closed on Monday but there's free pizza and trivia in the bar. Oh yeah, good shows too. Junior Brown, Sleepy Labeef, the Weepies, Beatlejuice - quality acts.

I have frequented Orleans bar and restaurant on many occasions for food and beer and have yet to be disappointed. Last night was no different. We arrived in a party of six and we were promptly seated by the very friendly hostess were greeted at our table by our server and had our drinks in no time. The DJ had his music at just the right decibel to create a good vibe and buzz to put us in our mood for our night out.The food was very tasty and well presented and our drinks were always full. As the kitchen closed our server finished and the cocktail waitress took us over.She never once passed our table without checking our drinks and as our party grew to 8 people she accommodated us very well.Her personality and prompt service was all around fantastic. I would highly recommend Orleans to anyone with all the local near by locations for entertainment and it is just steps from the train.
Pros: Great Food,service and atmosphere

The Burren. There are 364 days a year when this locale is just another great Irish bar. Then there is St Patrick's Day. The day and the place are synonymus.
The Gaelic sound, the souls of angels mix with the ancient tribal gang feelings. Green here is a metaphor for all that borders on the wild and the magical. The Burren defines Davis Square, though many people pass it and never enter. It is really a haunt for the ancient youthful chalice of hope that rises to the top of the last great mug of memories you gulped. The Burren stands for the place where you ready yourself with bravery. No one knows you there but yet you are well understood.

I have been to Salon Femia a few times and have always been very happy with my haircuts. I have seen two different stylists and they both knew the current trends and gave me very modern and stylish cuts. They also recommended different things that I could do with my hair to make it look better and they were right!
The prices were average for the type of salon. About $30 for a regular wash, cut, and style. I would highly recommend this salon.

I was smitten with R.F. O'Sullivan & Son from the first time I eyed the 20+ burger list. The only drawback is that the burgers take 20 minutes to grace the table. For distraction, I dive tortilla chips into the Tangy Chili topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. My pick is the Black & Blue Burger, a 1/2 pound of Sirloin, encrusted thick with black pepper, and smothered in sharp Blue Cheese. Wedge-fries and thick onion rings are a bonus. Luckily, a few beer selections are sized to match the burgers.
