"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.

An excellent meal at Henrietta's. Happy to see that it's still a good, reliable dining place in a district where so many of my old stand-bys have disappeared and so much mediocrity and pretense has crept in to the restaurant world.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our first time having lunch there and hope to return to try some different choices from the varied menu. Henrietta’s Table was full of good vibes, pleasant decor, and amiable servers, along with delicious food. Hope to come back soon!

Service was slow and rude. Food was mediocre at best- reheated. Used to be my favorite spot in Harvard Square. It’s gone downhill for the past couple of years.

A perpetual favorite, outstanding in every way...except for the recent spike in prices. Consider at the very least, removing the veal chop from the menu—nothing against veal chops per se, but the price for this item suggests that Henrietta's plans to rise from the superb, accessible neighborhood restaurant category into nosebleed territory.

Once a local, I try to return to Henrietta’s whenever I’m in town. Warm ambiance, wonderful service, and a delicious, fresh menu for every meal. Their cookbook is a gem & makes a great gift for locals or visitors!
