This is a very Cambridge type of place - casual and informal, and delivering great value, but with a serious commitment to creative, well prepared food. Located in what can only be called a funky street in the heart of Central Square, owner Steve Johnson and his crew have not lost a beat over the years. The kitchen still turns... More

I had dinner here and really enjoyed the food. They used great quality ingredients and the sauces and ingredients were really well paired. I had the scallops for appetizer, skate fish for entree, and pear crostada for dessert. LOVED the scallops - it had a wonderful salsa verde on top of the scallops! This was my first time having skate... More

Dined at Rendezvous before a Central Square Theater performance, and another terrific meal! A tasty charcuterie plate preceded my grilled swordfish, braised artichoke and potato entree. Mrs. Gyr was delighted with a "Bollito misto" of winter vegetables over polenta, and the Bosc pear crostada dessert was the perfect coda. The chef made a personal visit to several tables, a very...

We've been going to Rendezvous since chef Steve Johnson converted a woeful Burger King into this Central Square hot spot. But it's probably been a year since we had been there and we were drawn in by their "Not Restaurant Week" prix fixe offer. It was just like visiting an old friend. Rather than cheaping out like most places doing... More

I have eaten here 20 or 30 times. The food is consistently good. Gets busy early and stays busy. Nice atmosphere with a mix of young and older sophisticated crowd. I love sitting at the bar. The scallops are excellent, the duck is great, and if you get the right bartender the mixed drinks are excellent as well.

Very expensive for an average food. The place is nice but we were disappointed by the food. The portions are not really generous

My husband and I stumbled into the restaurant while waiting for my daughter to perform down the street. We were able to sit at the bar after a short wait on a Friday night. Our food was awesome! We chose to eat some small plates off the appetizer menu. They had a great variety---with many non meat choices for a... More

Rendezvous deserves its really high ranking on Tripadvisor. The staff are friendly but unobtrusive, the decor (former Burger King premises tastefully renovated) is solid but not dour, and the food is just very, very, very good. My wife and I love to go to Rendezvous anytime we really want to treat ourselves. It's nice to go there just to sit... More

Stopped in to this restaurant without reservations and two of us were able to get seated fairly quickly at the bar. The bartender quickly took our order for drinks and delivered quite well-made cocktails - my moscow mule was delightful. On advice from the bartender, we ordered the duck three ways and the skatewing. Both were good, but neither a... More
