Chef Mark Romano, who built a loyal following and quite a name for himself at Cambridge’s Green Street Grill, branches out on his own opening Highland Kitchen and it’s struck quite a chord with its Somervilian clientele. The eclectic menu, full of re-worked old favorites (including his famous spicy coconut curried goat stew) paired with a crack team of bartenders and an outstanding juke box rotation have helped the restaurant earn favorite neighborhood joint status in record time. Check it out for yourself and see why you might want to make this a regular haunt, even if don’t live in Somerville.
