Sandrine'sMother's DaytWe went for the Mother's Day menu which featured a few choices from the Alsace area in France. We would have liked to try the Flammenkueche, but it wasn't on the menu this day. It's usually available though.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSandrine's Bistro in CambridgeSandrine's is a lovely Alsacian Bistro in the heart of Harvard Square. A comfortable room with a bistro ambience.

Outstanding and I compare them to the best "moules" in Paris. The Sancerre was a full pour and added to the dinner.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMBrilliance with a comfort home feelThe chicken was wonderful. The lobster cocktail salad was brilliance. And the Frites...the French fries. It is worth the trip alone. Chef Raymond Ost is superb. Alex was our waiter. He was perfect. Charming, patience, attentive and a dear.

A bit pricey, but we felt it was worth it.
Two in our party ordered rack of lamb, which was cooked to perfection.
We will definitely be back at Sandrines soon!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem in Harvard Square...We had our Easter dinner at Sandrine's and, as always, the food and service were five star.
From the mussels and escargot appetizers, to the lamb and chicken entrees, everything was delicious. Not only is the food exceptional, but the presentation is first class.
We had the Chocolate Kougelhopf for dessert, which is a must for chocolate lovers.
The staff is exceptional. The hostess, Winnie, who warmly greeted us at our arrival and
our server, Sherman, made us feel special before we even ordered. Amy, the general manager, was very helpful with assisting us in picking out the appropriate wine to have with our entrees.
We highly recommend Sandrine's for a romantic dinner as well as a mid-week lunch with friends. You won't be dissapoin3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional Dining ExperienceI usually don't dine at French restaurants due to their notorious small portion sizes and being overpriced, however, Sandrine's was an absolute gem! The portion sizes were generous and it wasn't overpriced. The food was exceptional as was the service. Couldn't have asked for a better dining experience and I definitely plan on returned sometime soon.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Veal T-Bone was a surprisingThe Veal T-Bone was a surprising gem, and the waiter was extremely helpful in pairing a wine.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe staff was very attentive,The staff was very attentive, professional and kind.

The meal was excellent, the wait staff was attentive and friendly. The whole experience was just superb. I will recommend Sandrines to all of our family and friends(and we plan on dining there in the future).3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMAhh, Sandrine's. It's likeAhh, Sandrine's. It's like visiting an old friend. An old friend who is an amazing cook. You won't find any foams or gels or unfamiliar greens on this menu, but you will find delicious, perfectly prepared classics. The charcuterie plate was delicious and generous, but a bit subtle: I would have enjoyed something with more garlic, or more pepper, or more smoke on the plate for variety. Salad with blue cheese and apple was refreshing and just the right size to complement my meal. The filet was perfect, and the sauce with it was rich but not heavy. The Chocolate Kougelhopf was about the best take on the molten chocolate cake I've encountered, and I appreciate that the menu avoided the cliché description. "Kougelhopf" is more fun to say!3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMI went here with two friendsI went here with two friends for lunch during Boston Restaurant Week. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. The food came quickly and was delicious. The orange creme brulee was particularly good.

The service is always good. The menu is good (but not great for us because we do not eat red meat). Seafood options are very good though. And the deserts are among the best we've found anywhere. We loved the restaurant week prefix menu.

The food, however, was mediocre.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMRestaurant WeekI went to Sandrine's for lunch during restaurant week with a coworker. I am a vegetarian and I do not eat eggs. I didn't realize until I arrived that the veg. entree option was a Frittata. I had asked the waiter if there were any other options or if I could just do the 2-course pairing as an appetizer and dessert. He did not think either were possible and double checked; unfortunately they originally said I could not substitute what was on the menu, but our waiter checked again without my asking and they were able to make an exception. I ended up getting a mushroom ravioli dish for my entree, the apple salad for my starter, and a chocolate mousse for desert. I was so grateful they were able to make the exception; everything was delicious!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food, wonderfulExcellent food, wonderful service.

Thought the food was fresh, well prepared and of excellent quality. I did not find he menu overall to be all that tempting and there were only a couple of items that interested me. Salmon preparation was not especially unusual. Not sure how often I'd go back due to the limited menu, but the service was quite good and our experience was positive.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLunch is always a pleasureLunch is always a pleasure at our favorite restaurant for Saturday lunch.

The food was very fresh, delicately prepared but full of flavor. The waiter was very courteous and made great wine suggestions to go with our meals.

It was a warm, inviting place– there was a gentle buzz of people in the background but I could easily hear my boyfriend.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
