    Bergamot was great! The 7 course tasting menu with the wine pairing were perfect!! The staff is friendly and they had a special event with a cool band at 10:00pm. Would definitely go back

    Eat dinner at the bar. They have a great bar menu that is cheaper, but you can still order from the regular dinner menu. Plus, the bartenders are so nice and they know their stuff.

    If you're looking for a good prix fixe meal, Bergamot is the way to go: every dish I had (pea salad, scallops & baklava) was creative and delicious

    Try the Charcuterie Board - The "Goy Boy Board", a selection of Jewish favorites. Brilliant charcuterie as always at Bergamot. (via @Foodspotting)

    The most deliciously decadent turkey burger that I've ever had was here, at the bar. The Barkeep, Paul was fabulous. So was his cocktail, the Martinez.

    A good place to go for drinks/apps (I suggest splitting two apps if you are a dining pair), but a splurge for dinner. Save this place for a special occasion.

    Looking for a place to take guests from out of the country? Look no further! Cozy yet formal atmosphere & fantastical blends of flavors epitomize everything haute American cuisine has to offer!

    This 69-seat restaurant opened in 2010 and has helped pave the way for a new era of Somerville dining. The critics have praised Bergamot's synthesis of relaxed attitude and serious skill

    Chef Keith Pooler regularly dishes up gorgeous seasonal and local American cuisine. If you're looking to save a few bucks, order the daily changing blackboard menu and get three courses for $39. Read more

    The blackout cake is really good but I'll come back for the Pineapple upside down cake - a very creative take on an old and familiar dessert.

    The Butter-Poached Oysters appetizer is possibly the best dish I've ever had. I could have eat 5 of that course alone.

    The baby scallops stood out for me. Sweet with a nice mild spicy kick.

    What a joke. The dishes in the 3-course have "artistic" titles: the "beet salad" had 4 arugula leaves, the "cheesecake" had 3 teaspoons of cream cheese and crumbled crust. WORST DINNER EVER.

    From Devra First's review: "Pork tenderloin merges Asian, Mexican, and South American flavors. It comes with sweet-and-sour eggplant, glazed with ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and more." 3.5 stars. Read more

    The Chocolate Pave with Ice Cream Stout is extremely rich and beautifully put together. I recommend sharing it. It's small, but a few bites go a long way in the deliciousness department.

    Eating at the bar is a must. Paul & Kai are stellar - they offer great service & are VERY knowledgable about food & bevies.

    That Somerville is now a hot dining destination is due, in large part, to Keith Pooler. In his kitchen at Bergamot, the chef takes the ubiquitous farm-to-table theme and runs with it. Read more

    Our critic gave Bergamot 4 stars for its asparagus panna cotta, egg-battered halibut, pan-seared scallops, and monkfish. Service is strong, and dishes are visually stunning. Read more

    Very very good food, service was a bit slow at times. Drinks would take 10-15 minutes to prepare.

    No reservation? No problem. Sit at the bar and be sure to try the goat cheese cake and a tipple of old rum for dessert.

    The the Negroni cocktail was very good and rice pudding was nice. The rest was very disappointing. No vegan options at all, neither appetisers, nor entrees.

    Amy is an awesome bartender. Ask for her recommendations on wines ( she might even give you a taste between two)

    So sad! We thought we found our new favorite place and the second time was so disappointing ... overcooked salmon and raw meat and nothing impressive in the 7 course tasting menu :(
