"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. Our menus rotate daily based on availability from our local farmers and artisans, pushing our chefs to constantly create mouthwatering dishes that let the ingredients shine.

    This was my first time at brunch in many years. We were meeting a new student we are hosting for the first time. She had a number of food issues, and our server and the kitchen did a great job of accommodating her with information and perfect results! My wife is also a heavy consumer of hot tea and our server did a wonderful job of keeping her supplied. I especially enjoyed my freshly squeezed lemonade. I prefer the regular lunch menu, so I'll probably not be coming back for brunch for a while. There was an event on the patio, so we didn't get to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.

    We loved the Harvard House Fries, Steak and Frites and bouglanese. Our waitress, Autumn, was so good. Very nice, personable and attentive with great recommendations. Location is perfect and we sat outdoors, which was just lovely on a nice fall night. Highly recommend!

    One of the few places in the Square quiet enough to have a conversation. Fresh oysters too, outstanding service.
