Fallow Kin

Loved our meal here! We had a great experience at the chef's counter - fun to watch the kitchen and have one of the head chefs plate and describe a 7-course meal right in front of us. The food was fantastic across the board. Interesting flavor combos. Seasonal veggie forward, but still plenty of protein and a satisfying meal. Plus everyone was so friendly and the space is beautiful. We'll be back again!

Amazing service and a farm to table style food. Unique take on using seasonal ingredients and elevating flavors and textures. Cocktails here were also classy and not overly complicated or dressed up. They use carefully selected ingredients to craft a well-balanced drink. Double check the spirit type so that you get something you like. While I didn't ask to custom make a drink I think they have the talent and ingredients to do so. This location has a special place in my heart (Craige on Main) and the new owners are doing it justice by having excellent service and specialized menu.

Beautiful new restaurant in Central Square, grand and beautifully furnished. Food concept is farm to table, nothing new, but certainly a popular approach. Small plates, family style, which is always welcome. Of course you are paying Cambridge prices 😁 Duck fat brioche, enough said. Pumpkin, sugar pumpkin with pickled mustard seeds, very delicious. Parsnips was delicious with interesting textures, but lacking salt and could be more flavorful. Beef tartare was definitely the favorite. Not slimy, but clean and refreshing. The shiso leaves and sesame oil worked so well. Bass Crudo was also delicious, clean and refreshing with lots of flavor. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for food is that they could dial up the salt a bit more. Desserts however, were amazing all around. Churro was hot and fresh, pairing with the cheddar ice cream, custard and apples, it was an absolute perfection. Sweet potato cake, which can't really taste the sweet potato, just the chocolatey goodness throughout, was also the highlight tonight. Our server, Linnea (such an elegant and unique name) was wonderful. Friendly, warm, and so fun to have, and definitely knew her food. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

A must try: Fallow Kin is Cambridge’s newest gem. We were walk-ins at the bar and immediately struck by how warm and friendly the team was - special shoutout to our server, who we believe is named Raya, for the amazing service. The food is all about thoughtful flavor combinations, especially the veggie dishes. We loved the cabbage with seaweed dashi and crispy chicken skin bits, the roasted carrots. The pumpkin with hazelnut was a star dish, but it is seasonal so run, don't walk, to try it soon! The steak was fantastic - crispy on the outside, and tender inside - and the lemony clam spaghetti was fresh and bright. Everything is designed to be shareable, which makes it perfect for date night or a small group that wants to try a bit of everything. We also loved the zero-waste concept woven into the menus. Already planning our next visit to try the duck-fat brioche and hopefully we can save room for dessert.

Fallow Kin is truly exceptional — the kind of restaurant that makes you fall in love with food all over again. Every dish, from the a la carte menu to the full tasting experience, is perfection — innovative, exciting, and absolutely delicious. Each plate feels both thoughtful and adventurous, with flavor combinations that surprise you in the best way possible. The cocktails are just as impressive — beautifully balanced, creative, and crafted with the same level of care as the food. You can tell there’s real artistry behind every element of the menu. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of warm, modern, and inviting — elevated without ever feeling pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for the night and just enjoy. If you love discovering restaurants that push boundaries while still feeling deeply welcoming, Fallow Kin will be your new favorite spot. I may be biased, as I’m married to one of the chef/owners Marcos, but there’s a reason I married him.

Had to check this out as it’s related to Talulla and we really liked that one. Mixed feelings on Fallow Kin though Some dishes are on the smaller size (beef tartare only 4 micro pieces) Beets were considered boring by my dining partners but I liked them For me the cabbage was the most disappointing and the crispy potato and the brioche bread the biggest hit But I hate it if you have to fill up with bread and potato I felt is

This place is a GEM! My husband and I are very picky about our food and service at restaurants. We’ve been to all the good places in the Boston area multiple times, so lately we’ve been going to NYC for better dining experiences. We visited Fallow Kin last week on their opening day and were pleasantly surprised. The non-alcoholic drinks and food were absolutely delicious. My husband (who isn’t a big vegetable eater) couldn’t stop eating their roasted parsnips dish, and I still cannot get over my chicken dish- it was so tender and juicy! Today we tried the tasting menu, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The food was Michelin star level and the service was warm and attentive. We definitely recommend Fallow Kin to anyone who wants to get a great experience. Certainly will be back!

We had a 5:15pm reservation and called ahead to say we would be a few minutes late (arrived at 5:20).. The first course came around 5:45, which was oddly 4 dishes (although we were two people, and we told them we are sharing everything), but fine.. the next one (which was also 4 dishes: halibut, steak, parsnip, potato) didn’t arrive until 6:40pm.. almost an hour (ok 55min to be precise) between courses!! We had planned to leave by 7 (which we mentioned) because we assumed that we would have plenty of time for a two-course dinner.. Unfortunately, we had to take the mains to go and skip dessert.. not great when the bill is around $130 per person. The team was apologetic though.. they offered a free sorbet (which we declined) and took the drinks off the bill ($42).. Still, the pacing really threw off the experience.. The food itself was good with interesting flavors.. the space has a nice atmosphere with a cool open kitchen setup.. I just wish the timing and course pairing were better thought out.. (I only took photos of the first course because I was pretty bored by the time the 2nd arrived)
