Recently underwent a major renovation and their prices reflect the upscale interior, unfortunately. The portions are small; drinks are good. I recommend it with some reservation when you factor $$$

Davis only has two Indian places and this is the better of the two. Service is so-so, but food is good and the lunch buffet is good deal.

This is a pretty new addition to the Square and it has some high quality Mexian food. The prices (for Davis) are reasonable. There's no table service, but there are tables or you can do take out. It's not typical tex-mex, but rather closer to authentic Mexican street food.

McCabe's on Mass (CLOSED)

Good for families during the day as they have a small bowling alley (this was the original use of the building). Food is all locally sourced ingredients. Check out the bar made from the old bowling lanes and the chairs made from the old benches.

Better for take-away, not eat in. Has imported italian foods and is run by a guy from Naples. The food they make on-site is very good.

Dave's makes their own pasta in various forms and flavors! They also sell imported meats and cheeses as well as making amazing sandwiches! They have a wine selection but it's a bit pricey.

The ice cream is just "ok" but the plaza in front is a good place to hang out on a warm night. Lots of people watching to be done.

Drinks & Nightlife
I, personally, do not like this place but so many people rave about it. I do, however, recommend the bar for a beer as they have a long beer list and it's it's very casual.

This is actually a restaurant and bar but the bar is much more fun and interesting. They do tequila flights if you want to try different brands. They also serve brunch.

Entertainment & Activities
The Somerville Theater is a fun place to hang out. They actually serve beer during the shows and the occassionally have concerts. The movies aren't always the latest, but they're usually popular and the fee is less than a normal theater. Be sure to check out the Meseum of Bad Art in the basement ... it's pretty.... bad. :-)
