Typically, that would be a big turn-off for me since I prefer not to eat outside and I'm not a fan of takeout. However, it happened to be my birthday, and the weather was perfect for outdoor dining on that lovely day. The area is nicely set up—far more than just a parking lot; it has an ambiance similar to a beachside resort. They even have plans to build a more permanent establishment in the future. On a side note, I was off work due to a foot injury and was on crutches, while my wife uses a cane, and we had our toddler to manage as well. The setup is self-serve, but since it was after the lunch rush, the cashier spent quite a bit of time seated. I felt she could have been more attentive and accommodating, given our situation.

The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is unmatched in Somerville. read more The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is unmatched in Somerville.
