New American meals, cocktails, and popular roof deck in pub setting
"You’re almost certainly going to want a baked Alaska, which means you’ll need to pre-order it. " - Atlas Obscura
"This 20-year-old Harvard Square mainstay attracts professors, students, and visitors to dine on its serene perch dotted with umbrellas. The food isn’t remarkable, but it’s satisfying and has something for everyone — from veggie pasta to burgers and seafood risotto." - Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
"For most of the year, Daedalus in Harvard Square is the type of quiet pub where you might see someone reading Shakespeare while eating a burger at the bar. During the summer, it’s the type of place where you might see someone reading Shakespeare while eating a burger surrounded by flower boxes, shade umbrellas, and sunshine. Man, summer’s the freaking best." - joel ang, dan secatore
"In a city where winter drags on like the Oscar’s, it’s important to remember to at least try to get outside between December and April, lest you forget what the sky looks like. You can do that at Daedalus on Mt. Auburn, which has a heated rooftop that stays open year-round (technically speaking, there will be a roof over your head in the winter, but it’ll feel like you’re outside). Of course in the summer, you don’t need to remember what being outside is like, you just need to embrace it. And with picnic tables, planters, cocktails, and a bar menu that kicks things up with things like summer squash gnocchi, you’ll be able to do just that here." - dan secatore
"Known for its roof deck in Harvard Square, Daedalus announced on November 22 that it would hibernate ‘until further notice’ and looked forward to being an outdoor dining destination in 2021 with reopening updates posted on its website and social channels." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
