East Coast Grill & Raw Bar

If you're willing to make the trek to Inman (c'mon, just leave the Square, it's not that hard!), East Coast Grill and Raw Bar offers a nice change of pace and excellent food. This tropical-urban grill, with its Southern and Asian stylings, is a favorite spot for BBQ and seafood lovers. Start with something delectable from the raw bar (half-dozen oysters $10.50), then dig into extremely fresh fish ($20-$24) or barbecued meat ($9-20). Great list of beer, wine, sangria, and creative mixed drinks. To fend off that hangover, stop by the Su Latin Brunch and go crazy at the Make-Your-Own Bloody Mary bar. Entrees $10-25. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. Sky-blue walls and playful fixtures contribute to the charming environment filled with an upbeat clientele. Many patrons opt to forgo a table in one of the dining areas for a couple of stools at the casual bar, the better to enjoy awesome mango puree margaritas and other quasi-tropical concoctions. Friendly service matches the ambience; laid-back without being indifferent. Parking costs $5 in the lot that's directly across the street at the Cambridge Nissan shop.
