Daedalus Restaurant
Located just a short walk from Harvard Yard, Daedalus has been serving delicious food and quality spirits since opening our doors in 2001. Our eclectic modern American menu offers a little something for all tastes, and our bartenders are waiting to build you a signature cocktail or pour you one of our rotating draughts.

Whether you're dining with friends in a cozy booth or enjoying a craft beer on our beautiful outdoor roof deck, we've got a spot for you. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.

Good cocktails, good location. Some of the sitting areas are superb and provide good lighting etc. Some food is great like the flatbread while the brussel sprouts are too saucy.

Daedalus is a go-to in Harvard Square. Great cocktails, food, and service. In the warmer seasons the rooftop area is made available — a really enjoyable experience. The staff is very kind and service is fast. A great place to grab a drink, meet friends, or just enjoy something to eat.

Definitely one of the very best outdoor dining spots in Cambridge. Food is always delicious. I love the rooftop. The ambience is great and the gorgeous flowers are such a nice touch. Nestled in a really cute historic area right by Harvard. Excellent!

The scallops were quite fine, though the chef forgot the risotto until we asked for it. The hot cider was excellent. Overall a very good experience, though the prices are slightly high.

Fabulous! Said all of the members of my family including the kids. Our wait person was super attentive without being intrusive, he was patient and we got our drinks, app, meals super fast. The food was soooo good. The rooftop does not have much views but was really nice to sit out there. Our 1st visit to Daedalus was awesome!

It's not very often that a restaurant in Boston impresses but we were completely amazed with every aspect of the Daedalus. Stopped by to check out the rooftop and grab drinks. The place looks incredible and the drinks and service were great. Our waiter, Ricky was really personable and considerate. Ended up sticking around for dinner and it was phenomenal, too. Couldn't have found a better place. Will definitely recommend.

Nice place with a cute lil rooftop bar. Needs prior reservation especially for the rooftop setting. Went here for drinks and dessert. They have some really nice drinks that taste amazing. We were told the menu also changes everyday depending upon ingredients in the kitchen. The only thing I wish is the drinks were more alcoholic than juicy, since no drinks are below 14$. We also had the flat bread for appetizer which was good. Loved their Tiramisu. Our server was really friendly who made the experience even better.
Would definitely go again and try out their dinner menu. Seemed really great with

Gorgeous roof deck very well designed and well staffed by a great service staff. And the street patio may be even better. Call early to make your reservation only way your getting in here. Great food to go with the wonderful ambience as well

Everything was great, the food, the drinks, the rooftop view. The only thing to be wary of is the price. The salmon burger and salmon tacos were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Definitely get a salmon dish if you plan on going here!
