Atmosphere was great, food was great, and server (Isabella) was the best. Very knowledgeable about the menu and the four of us ordered four of her five recommendations. We were all very happy with the quality and portion size of the entrees and the service was excellent.

Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.

Had a lovely meal and experience last night at The Hourly. Tasty oysters, creamy rich lobster bisque, wonderful brussels, etc. And the prices aren't terrible for Cambridge. We've recommended to others.
