Words can barely describe the food at Dali's. The tapas (small appetizer portions of dishes) that are served here are miniature works of art (fitting name)!
They serve a big basket of bread with your meal, so you can dip it in all the wonderful sauces that come with the tapas. There are about 30-40 tapas to choose from, including many choices for vegetarians.The place gets very crowded so get there early or expect to wait. They do have a great bar with a great wine selection.

My friends keep coming back to Orleans for its fabulous mojitos which have a fruity kick to them. I come back for a cold glass of chardonnay and a window seat after work, or for an outdoor appetizer (they commandeer Comcast's parking lot after hours, and it's not as bad as you'd think) in summer. The place gets really hopping at night and is packed on weekends. The food is usually good and the Sox game, for better or for worse, shows on big screens all over the place. It gets loud in here so prepare to scream after sundown. Also a decent brunch goes until 3 or 4 and is never crowded, although the atmosphere is awfully sterile.

OK.. the food is gross and it's quite dirty behind the serving line. Try another Anna's or Boca Grande. You'd be better off, trust me.

Tacos Lupita is the only place in som/cambridge where you can get some authentic food. It's very tasty. Mind you this is a taco joint - in & out. However, I don't think the owners are that pre-occupied with hygine and cleanliness. I guess it's part of the charm that gives off that "authentic feel", but still....

Yoshi's is a sweet little place in Powderhouse Square, Somerville (a short walk from Davis). They have an excellent lunch box which I think is the best value for lunch in the area. For $7.00 or so you get: an entree (tofu, tempura, salmon, beef, etc.), dumplings, salad, maki, seaweed salad, lettuce salad, miso soup, etc. Can be done all veg as well! Always fresh and tasty, clean decor, very pleasant service. Great neighborhood place.

The Rosebud has been around in Davis forever. They do a good job with classic diner fare, and I definitely prefer it for brunch on the weekends, though that's when most everybody else goes too. Their dinner menu is decent, and the classic standbys are good here... but stick to the burgers and fries and items like that. Their salads aren't very fresh at all. The service can be up or down, but dining in a true old diner car is a fun experience anyway!

More
Yoshi's is across the street from my old house, so of course this was the primary place that I would get Japanese food. It's an affordable, convenient and pleasant enough little place, and their non-sushi food is fine. Especially some of the noodle soups are pretty good.
However, the primary fare of a sushi place is sushi, and they're somewhat lacking in freshness there and serve sushi at the wrong temperature. We completely stopped ordering their sushi after we were served a spider roll that tasted plain spoiled.
Go there for dumplings, soup or a bento box, but I wouldn't do a la carte.

I love Diesel, they serve some of my favorite tea blends -- but my only complaint is that it is SO crowded. Anytime I try to meet a friend it's nearly impossible to get a seat. Students show up and take over an entire booth (that could seat 4) just for themself and their laptop. They camp out for HOURS. I wish there was a place designated for studying - and then the rest of the place for regular customers.

If you are looking for a place to eat where you can meet a real crossection of the Union Square neighborhood, this is certainly the place to go! The best time to go is brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Try to get there somewhat early (before 10:00 am should be fine)... be prepared to wait for a table. It is a wonderful place to "people watch". The portion sizes are large and the price is usually very reasonable... the food is great too! We usually can get out for $8 or less per person.
This is really the place that reminds me of a nice summer morning in Union Square... lots of good food and fun memories!
Enjoy!

I love everything about this cafe, but the scones are absolutely amazing. Try the cinnamon raisin. I promise, I wouldn't rave if they were run-of-the-mill.
The staff are friendly, never condescending, and they almost always play good music. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are terrific, too.
