Our Mission

Serving coastal cuisine from organic regenerative land and sea sources with genuine hospitality, embracing care and respect for each other, for our community, and for the future of our global ecosystem.

Senses Restaurant & Raw Bar

… will be a dynamic 171 seat restaurant in the hub of Kendall Square. Located across from the forthcoming 300 seat, “585 Arts” cultural complex and yards away from Broad Canal Walkway. Senses will express the need for impactful change in our food system near the epicenter of the movement. We will be a fully organic regenerative food restaurant, delivering a message of hope with simple and beautiful food from regenerative farms and vertical aquaculture. Our guests will always feel welcomed and included.

Why Organic Regenerative Food

Unsustainable

Scientists estimate we have less than 30 years of fish in the sea and less than 60 more harvests. Our industrial food practices have largely fed the human population while today they threaten the planetary life that sources it.

Regeneration

Eating local organic regenerative food is a way we can all fight back — for the regeneration of the earth, the sea and the global climate — and for the regeneration of healthy human lives. For more on the Regenerative Food movement see Call of the Reed Warbler by Charles Massy, Kiss the Ground by Josh Tickell, and Food Fix by Mark Hyman — see also the Food Fix Campaign.

Local and Fresh

Not only is Organic Regenerative Food good for biodiversity and sustainability of the food system, it also happens to lead to thrilling food. which looks, feels, tastes, smells — and even sounds — delicious. At Senses, we believe that for the future of food to be good for the planet, it will need to be accessible, affordable, and finally so sensorially beautiful, that it is irresistible.
