Very confused

The first thing that stood out in my mind was the tropical interior. Set in a semi-dark tropical world you feel quite intimate even in the usually full dining rooms. Now comes the bad part. I was real...

Excellent Brunch

The East Coast Grill serves the most excellent Sunday Brunch in the Cambridge area between noon and 2:30pm each weekend. Serving Bar-b-q favorites like shredded pork, this is the perfect cure for any ...

Fresh fish, poor service

I live quite close to the ECG and pop in there at least once a week - especially when I get a hankering for fresh oysters and deliciously prepared fish. At dinner, you can count on reasonably good service; but...

4.0 of 5 stars. Down with chains! Up with great local places like this! Can be loud, noisy, crowded, so go on an off night or go early.

Average Food and Crowded

The wait was long, and the food was average. I heard this restaurant was incredible, but I left feeling unfulfilled. The service was good though even though it was very busy.

Yelp.com Review - by Anna S.

3.0 of 5 stars. I wasn't so thrilled with this place. This could be fore one of two reasons, or both. 1. Because I got chicken here, and it is known for it's seafood 2. Because The atmosphere too "chic."
