Editorial Review for West Side Lounge – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Academics and professionals congregate for a drink, then stay for the food in this warm room with a mirrored back wall and oversized paintings of fruits and vegetables. Solo diners are a common sight, and women often gather with their pals. Sophisticated dishes include saffron risotto, topped with roasted cherry tomatoes and rainbow chard, and sea scallops with toasted pasta and earthy baby artichokes. If available, order the homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.

This place is such a gem. Great atmosphere, drinks, prices and the food is fantastic. I just tried the new asian dolma apps and I have never tasted anything so good. They melt in your mouth. I think it's also one of the friendliest places in Cambridge. Keep up the great work. I'll be back soon!

We went to the West Side last night. I had to write a review, not only to let people know how great it really is, but especially after reading the negative reviews on cs. We started with a warm yellow beet salad..the beets were so delicate in a light dressing with pine nuts and toasted garlic - definitely order this! We had a bottle of Viogner which went perfectly with the salad and our entrees - great and only 33 bucks. Upon our servers suggestion we both went with the black cod entree. This was a beautiful piece of fish, with brocoli rabe and cauliflower in a delicious light sauce. We finished with warm chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!! yum yum. A wonderful experience, bolstered by the restaurant's funky and comfortable vibe. They always have great music playing that you can hear well and still hold a conversation easily. Still the greatest spot in Cambridge for dinner and drinks...
