"Ask enough people, and you’ll start to realize this colorful Winter Hill Mediterranean spot is everyone’s favorite restaurant in Boston. This is one of the longest menus in town, but you only need a few plates like lentil nachos and harissa BBQ duck to fill you up. Even though this place is behind the high school in Somerville, it’s extremely hard to get a table. If you don’t have a reservation, get there early and try to grab seats at the bar, where you can watch the prep station and ask the bartenders to whip up whatever they feel like making." - tanya edwards
