A wonderful experience as always! This is our third time celebrating our wedding anniversary here and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and creatively displayed, an excellent mocktail and cocktail list and stellar hospitality.

Everything is about average. We did the chef table experience. Each dish had too much mixed of ingredients that ended up nothing stand out to make it a wow. Cocktail is also just so so, very watered down by the amount of ice. Would not visit again given there are so much great options in Cambridge Boston area.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at Season To Taste. We appreciated the attention from staff and explanation of each dish and wine pairing for the food tasting menu. We do wish the music was a bit lower, however everything else was a 10/10 experience! We look forward to coming back! Also they're almost fully gluten free so that's great news for anyone with an allergy/sensitivity like myself

The food was delicious, unique, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The noise level was very reasonable, and it was easy to have conversation. This is an excellent place to go for a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. Everything about the meal felt special. Can’t wait to go back.

Accommodated our request for outdoor seating upon arrival! Burrata and Gnocchi were the highlights as we tried most of the vegetarian choices on the menu. Loved the Que Sera, Serrano.

I loved the bread, the gnocchi & the kale salad. My wife wasn’t crazy about the potato soup (WAY too much cream) or her entree. But my pet peeve: we ate at the bar, & the bartender was clearly having health issues of some kind (heavy breathing, perspiring, blank look at times). We don’t go out to dinner to get sick, and sick people shouldn’t be in front of customers. Sorry. Whatever she was dealing with, we shouldn’t have been subjected to it. Don’t mean to be harsh.

Every dish I’ve ordered at Seasons to Taste has been excellent. Most recent: grilled sea bass filet on a bed of roasted asparagus and duchess potatoes. The potatoes looked beautiful but were too compacted- a little more liquid in mashing them would improve the texture. Earl Gray Panna cotta for desert also excellent! Love sitting outdoors for the quiet ( other than the buses and honking horns!)

Well, it’s no secret that we love this place. It’s our “go to” restaurant in Cambridge because they’re so welcoming and the food is always soooo good. Can’t praise the total team at Season to Taste enough.
