    Been a long while since I had the pleasure of coming back here to dine on their amazing little roof top. Service was very friendly all around, the food was as good as I remember, and the vibe is just cozy and nice.

    Daedalus is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Harvard Square. I've come here many times and am always impressed with the quality of the food and service. I love their rooftop deck which is beautiful in warmer weather. They have a nice array of cocktails as well as some mocktails if you want something non-alcoholic to drink besides soda and juice. This week, I came here with a friend for dinner on a weekday evening and we sat outside on the upstairs deck which was really pleasant. They had some oldies playing on a sound system which created a mellow ambiance without being too loud to hear people. I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca which was incredibly tasty. The chicken was tender, juicy and wrapped in prosciutto and served with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. My friend ordered the Steak Frites which came with shoestring fries. We both got the Bee Knees to drink (I got the virgin version and she got the alcoholic option). Both of us were very satisfied with our meals and the service was excellent! I will be back again soon!

    Definitely on the fence for 5 v. 4 stars. It a great space with lots of interesting decor, and the upper floor has a great vibe ...get up there if possible. Service was good; expected for a slow evening. Vibe is nice...not too much TV or music pervading, yet not lacking in some liveliness either...nice touch. Host was great and re-seated to better spot (chairs not stools) was easy. The standard menu (no specials that night) had scallops which were super! Cooked perfectly with the broc rabe also perfect on the side. The risotto, possibly from another school of risotto-thought, was not so. Just OK and seeming under cooked a bit and underwhelming... some umami or like influence would be good/needed. Duck dish was nice...but, they asked if medium rare is OK which it is! and should be. It was a precut set portion of tiny fillets which is great ( tho Im a fan of on the bone or "whole" fillet). What came up was nearly raw in the middle...yes, I definitely could have sent it back, but i"m lazy I guess and wanted to start eating together. Note to chef: a thin/medium size line of pink is good but a big old bunch is not. Note I eat rare /medium rare everything including lamb and port, but this was 'too much'...again my fault for not sending back, but.... Asparagus side was done very well...not under/over cooked. I'll be back!

    I loved the ambience of the elevated patio/roof area. It was super cute and I had great food drinks. No complaints from me
