"FRESH FROM THE FARM AND HONEST TO GOODNESS HOME COOKING"Henrietta’s Table opened its doors to a diverse and adoring public 20 years ago. In that time the restaurant has come to be the dining room of Nobel laureates, celebrities and New England Farmers. The Charles Hotel’s Executive Chef, Sean Lizotte, helms Henrietta’s Table and has designed a menu of "honest to goodness New England cooking."Henrietta's Table has been at the forefront of farm-to-table dining since before it was a trend or a hashtag. Located in the heart of Harvard Square, you don't need a degree to appreciate our simple, homemade flavors - just like you'd find in Grandma's kitchen. The Ritz cracker crusted scrod, Yankee pot roast and warm grain bowl are some of our guests' favorite dishes.

Perfect place to take our family for dinner, after a day in the city. We had 7 people and were able to easily make a reservation online. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, full of flavor and the right amount - not too much or too little. The staff was attentive and friendly and the drinks were delicious and unique. I highly recommend this place. We will visit again!

A pleasant atmosphere, decent and thoughtful service, a few good brews on tap, a satisfactory wine list. The food? Meh. Nothing that you'll remember or recommend. Portions are adequate if a bit bland and unimaginative.
