Even though they did not have the gluten free buns left, we had the option to have them made with a lettuce wrap. I have not been here in many years, and their sunrise burger tastes better than I remember. Tasty Burger also tastes 100% better than Lotta Burgers down south/southwest.

It is very busy at noon on weekdays, but there is no shortage of seats. It feels like everyone is enjoying their leisure time amidst the noise. The food is delicious, there is a gluten friendly menu, there is no vegan food (you can adjust it yourself without adding anything), and you can't just make egg white.

Life Alive is a great place for healthy satisfying food in a calm atmosphere a short walk from Harvard Yard. The gluten free and vegan options are excellent. Portions are good. Service is friendly and most importantly seating is well-spaced and easy to find. A much better option that Tatte - healthier and without the smell of bacon fat

We sat at the bar - We didn't think we'd need a reservation on a Monday night! The bartender was amazingly knowledgeable and explained details on both food and drinks. I have to be gluten free so I had a salmon dish that was great. My friends had 2 different pasta dishes which they both loved.

Great atmosphere, plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. Many fun and tasty cocktails and mocktails. Service was quick and very friendly. Two of our dishes could've used a bit more salt, which felt weird cause we never cook with much salt ourselves but it just lacked a bit of a punch. That's not a bad problem to have, although some salt and pepper shakers on the table could be nice to add.
