My wife and I really enjoy this location
The service is top notch and the staff is polite and friendly.
The house beer is tasty.
I feel like it could use some music or white noise of some sort to drown out the conversations.

Calamari was overcooked. Sent it back and the second order was also overcooked. Manager removed from bill. Server was very nice.

My fiancé and I came here for our anniversary and were really looking forward to it. The service was good and the manager was very kind, but unfortunately the food missed the mark.
I ordered a medium-rare steak and it came well done. Because we were heading to a movie, I didn’t have time to wait for it to be remade and ate it anyway. I was offered a free appetizer card, but I woke up the next morning with food poisoning and won’t be returning. For a $40 steak, I expected it to be done correctly the first time.
My fiancé’s bison burger also had a poor burger-to-bun ratio, which made it less enjoyable. Overall, very disappointing for what was meant to be a special occasion, although I did appreciate the anniversary cake they brought out for us at the end, that was enjoyable. Once again the service was good and manager was very nice. Definitely just a food issue.

I very much enjoy State and Main in Cambridge and have become a loyal regular. This location has ample parking and is located conveniently in the same parking lot as the Cambridge Mall.
It is always a pleasure to see the waitresses Jacqueline and Victoria.
They both give terrific service and are always friendly and welcoming.
I appreciate them very much for always making a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience.
The food is very good. Here are a few dishes I would highly recommend.
To start I would go with the tasty Bang Bang Shrimp with the sriracha aioli & unagi sauce. It comes with a big portion to share or take home and have later.
If it is cold outside you should have the bacon tomato soup. It comes with a bunch of little garlic cheese breads.
For a main you will not be disappointed with the pistachio crusted salmon. I sub my mashed potatoes and asparagus with double vegetables and it is my favourite.
I look forward to dining here again soon!
