About Chef Tony Maws | Our Community Partners
 

Don’t just eat right with us... feel right about us.

We hope that when you dine with us, you’ll feel that you’ve partaken of more than just a meal. We hope we’ve managed to also convey and commitment to you, our guests, as well as to our community, purveyors, and employees. Here’s why we hope you’ll feel right about us...

Feel right about our food and wine:

  • It’s almost always organic or biodynamic.
  • It’s quality without compromise – the menu changes every day so we can serve ONLY what’s best in the market.
  • It’s bought from small independents farms and growers.
  • Everything we serve can be traced back to the farmer who grew it.
  • We make everything from scratch, including ice cream, charcuterie, desserts, pickles and more.

Feel right about our commitment to the environment:

  • We purchase everything as locally as possible to reduce food miles.
  • We recycle all menus and other paper.
  • We invite biodiesel users to use our left-over cooking oil.
  • We promote alternate transportation – telecommuting, secure parking for bikes.
  • We monitor our energy use and constantly try to reduce it.
  • We use earth-friendly cleaning products whenever possible.

Feel right about our family business:

  • It is 100% family owned and operated.
  • Every member of our immediate family works here full- or part-time.
  • The bistrot decor includes many items that have been handed down through generations of our family.
  • A photo of Hannah Bluestein, our culinary muse, will always be on display here.

Feel right about our staff:

  • Everyone has gone through intensive training.
  • Everyone who works here supports our values.
  • Our staff eats here too, at management’s expense.
  • Everyone reviews written customer feedback in detail.

Feel right about our community involvement:

  • We encourage requests from charitable organizations whose mission involves hunger, sustainable agriculture, and Cambridge community – we will help you in any way that we can.

Feel right at home when you eat in our dining room:

  • Our values extend to how we treat our guests as well. You can expect to feel comfortable, relaxed, satisfied, and happy -- like you are at a dinner party at home with close friends and family.
