What Alessandra Glover likes about Little Donkey:
We had a very pleasant brunch on Saturday. The sangria was refreshing and the tacos and enchilada were delicious. The decor was adequate and the staff couldn't have been nicer. View all feedback.

What Jacinto Carter doesn't like about Little Donkey:
I went with a group for a birthday. It was the worst service any of us had ever experienced. Our waiter only took a couple of drink orders and then left for more than 20 minutes before we checked in to take the rest of the table order. For the food we had to tell him that we had to order. Then he took 4 orders, went away and didn't come back. When we got him to come back after telling several other workers we needed... View all feedback.

Fourth visit to Little Donkey this year, and it gets better every time. Three of us shared 9 dishes and two bottles, and every single thing was perfectly

The reviews for Little Monkey Restaurant in Boston are a mixed bag. Some customers were disappointed with the slow service, mediocre food quality, and high prices. Others raved about the unique dishes, excellent service, and cozy atmosphere. The standout items seem to be the passion fruit margarita, fried cauliflower, cocktails, and impossible burger. It seems like a place worth trying for those looking for a new dining experience, but maybe not for those seeking a consistently exceptional meal.

Kindest and friendliest staff with the tastiest food in Cambridge, and literally the best-shucked oysters in all of Boston!!!
