Upscale American comfort food with rooftop views and cocktails
"From the team behind Cambridge stalwart Puritan & Company, the Lexington — several restaurants under one roof — includes an upper-level greenhouse-like bar and restaurant that spills out onto a roof deck. Whether you’re indoors or outdoors on the upper level, you can order from a comfort food-filled menu that includes dishes like a French onion grilled cheese sandwich, beer-battered fish tacos, and more." - Tanya Edwards
"I really love the Lexington and I love going to support Will. I think the food is pretty rad. My favorite dish the last time I was there was probably steak tartare. So clean, delicious. I find a lot of people are making steak tartare that is not the right temperature for me. I want my steak tartare, like, fucking ice cold. — Jamie Bissonnette" - Tanya Edwards
"You might have caught wind of this East Cambridge spot when it opened last summer because it offers a rare roof deck. And while sipping a Manhattan indoors in February is kind of the opposite of al fresco drinking, you’ll still get an airy feel in The Lexington’s glass-lined dining room, which has greenhouse vibes on sunny winter days. Comfort food dishes like jalapeno-bacon croquettes and steak frites are just right for a Manhattan, although we can’t think of a better match than the Angel’s Envy-based cocktail alongside peanut butter pie." - Molly McDonough
"The Lexington, along with two of its sibling restaurants, Cafe Beatrice and Geppetto — is located at the Cambridge Crossing development near the Lechmere MBTA stop. (Big sibling Puritan & Co. is over in Inman Square.) The upper-floor outdoor patio is a great place to watch the trains go by, grab a wonderfully balanced cocktail, and have a warm bowl of ricotta gnocchi with braised short rib and melted leeks." - Karen Wilber
"Lamplighter CX, a 7,000-square-foot taproom and production space located alongside restaurants the Lexington, Geppetto, and Café Beatrice in a building called the Shed." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
