The "genuine, warm, and alive" Harvard Square newcomer Beat Hôtel receives one and a half of four stars from the Globe's Devra First. Dishes like swordfish tortillas, lamb nachos, and spare ribs are "crowd pleasers," but inconsistent cooking (a burger ordered medium "arrives a tick past raw," but skirt steak is "overcooked") hurts the critic's overall rating.
