About The Abbey

What would we do without our neighborhood restaurants? They might not have famous chefs or national profiles, but they get our repeat business, week in and week out. They keep us comfortable and feed us when we don’t feel like feeding ourselves. And... More

The Abbey has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge—especially for solo dining or spontaneous celebrations with close friends. This might be my sixth visit. I really like the atmosphere here. The lighting is dim, creating a sense of privacy and relaxation, and the dark green glow from the bar adds a slightly mysterious, cozy feeling. I also love how casual and welcoming the seating is—they usually let people sit whatever they like (you can also walk in and grab a seat) , which truly makes it feel like home. I’ve noticed many regulars here as well. This was my first time visiting on a Friday night, and it felt lively and vibrant. I had lovely chat with other solo diners and watched skiing from their TV together. I had the salmon risotto this time. The salmon was seared perfe

Great atmosphere and food; prices weren't cheap by any means but weren't unreasonable. The service was simply spectacular though, enough that even if the food wasn't as good as it is, I would have still given 5 stars.

Cozy, local bar with great appetizers and kind servers. Never had a bad time here. Cocktails were alright, but if you stick with the classics (like an Irish Coffee) or a beer, you’ll be good.

Went to The Abbey for a few drinks. Nice tavern atmosphere. Theres a main floor restaurant/bar area, and a downstairs pub that was a fun night out! Next time I gotta come back to tru the food

Here’s a revieWe had a decent meal at The Abby. The food itself was good, but we had a small issue with the salad. I had asked to substitute the fries for a salad, and while I appreciated the option, it came already dressed. I personally liked the dressing, but I usually prefer my salads without it, and would have appreciated being asked. Unfortunately, my partner didn’t like the dressing at all and ended up not eating her salad. A small thing, but it would’ve made a difference if they had checked with us first.
