::Nice place to go for a drink and/or grab a bite. Tonight there was good live music too, awesome singer!

::This place never gets old. The atmosphere is what will bring you in. But the food will make you stay. Their unique approach to wine service guarantees an enormous by the glass selection with zero freshness concerns. They serve directly from barrels, which means the wine is never exposed to the air. The location is also a plus. The heart of Harvard Square and much the cooler for it.

::I broke Easter Tradition and took the family to Cambridge for a brunch and some Jazz. We called The Beehive in Boston and they were booked, so they suggested Beat Brasserie. I'm assuming it's the same owner. We made reservations for five on Easter Sunday at 11. They had a set, three course brunch menu for $45. The evening prior, we called BB and asked if we could squeeze two more people in on our reservation and they said they were booked and unfortunately could not accommodate two more. We showed up at 11 and were seated at a table with eight seats. Why they said they could not take more than the five of us, does not make sense. My wife even asked if other people were sitting with us, and they said no. Not to mention, the entire time we were there, we saw at least 40 open seats. I'm not going to get into the all the specifics of the meal, but of the three courses, one of them was scones and bread that we shared. The other two were appetizers and entrees, where you picked one of each as your meal. Just to show how ridiculously over prices this was, I got a small bowl, in fact it was half of a small bowl of a curry carrot soup. It was good, but nothing to write home about. My entree was eggs Benedict with Ham, which was below par. The ham tasted like any cured ham you'd buy at a Market Basket. The eggs, well they were poached and tasted like eggs; nothing special. I could have made this exact meal at home for about $5. It is true, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and there was live music. The music was a 3 piece Jazz band they took a 20 minute break right in the middle of our meal. Also, our seat were so far away that we had a hard time seeing and hearing them. Two of the five of us had our backs to the band. The drinks were expensive and the bill came to a little under $400. The waitress was wonderful. I tipped her over 20% and never complained to her. I waited on tables while in college and know what it's like. It wasn't her fault and she looked like she was having a good day, which was great. I have to say I feel ripped off. I eat out all the time and frankly, I have never felt as disappointed about a restaurant as I did this place. I really hope they can take their food up a notch as well as their drinks.

::My husband and I go here every chance we get. Live music most night, incredible drink menu, wine on tap, fantastic ambiance, and that buffalo cauliflower! Great vegetarian options, and meat options.

::The coffee cake is amazing. Do it as an appetizer before your meal. I'm not usually a brunch person but I had a good time here. The eggs Benedict eggs were a bit overcooked, which honestly I didn't notice or care about but I thought I'd mention it in the review since I saw a few people complaining. They still tasted great which is my criteria for a good breakfast.
