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.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and supper, along with an award-winning Saturday and Sunday brunch. Dine al fresco with us in the large outdoor patio during spring and summer.

Henrietta’s Table prides itself on “Fresh from the Farm and Honest to Goodness Home Cooking.” Chef Sean Lizotte and his staff are committed to finding the best regional and organically grown produce, not only to support the local farmers and community, but to bring award-winning dishes to our guests

    Excellent service levels, first and foremost— staff are really great. Food, however, was just okay and, relative to the straightforward cuisine, was quite expensive. Just know, as well, if you bring in a cake for celebrating a special event, you won’t be able to cut and serve it yourself. $28 cutting fee includes a scoop of vanilla ice cream, along with cutting and plating your cake.

    We have eaten at Henrietta's Table many times over the past 20 years. As always, the omelets were superb. Really well prepared with excellent fillings. Just perfect. I find the coffee bitter but others do not. The service was good but the table and chairs were not clean and we had to switch tables in an attempt to find a clean spot. This was troublesome.

    I asked for my salmon rare. It came over cooked. The server was nice enough to take it off the bill. After we finished dinner, I had to get up to ask for our bill. On a positive note the Cosmopolitan cocktail was definitely the best we have had in Boston

    We had a lovely time. We have been going to Henrietta’s Table since it opened. Through iOS & downs & COVID. The food was excellent. Some very nice updates to traditional recipes that did not destroy the recipe. Especially in the vegetable sides. The pot roast was especially good.

    We met a friend for a lovely weekday lunch at Henrietta's Table. Service was excellent, and our food came amazingly quickly once we had ordered. My friend had a chopped salad, my husband a grain bowl, and I had a special -- an asparagus, mushroom, leek, and goat cheese quiche, served with a side salad of leafy greens. We all agreed that our lunches were delicious. The bread basket, which arrived without request or charge, was much enjoyed as well. Although the restaurant was quite busy and nearly full, the noise level was such that three diners of a certain age could hear each other across the table. Although I don't get into Cambridge much, and it's probably been decades since I've eaten at Henrietta's Table, there are multiple reasons the restaurant continues to be a popular mainstay in Harvard Square.

    The atmosphere was lively; the food was tasty; and the service was fine. But I was shocked to discover that two of the wine glasses cost $25.00 each! My guests ordered Zinfandel, I believe, and I guess they were asked which size they wanted, maybe a 9 oz. And I suppose they said yes. But I feel that the price needed to be mentioned since it is so exorbitant. I believe I am owed some money back since no one knew that asking for a 9 oz. glass would add $8.00 each to already overpriced glasses of wine at $17.00. That's too much. It ruined the experience for me. Thanks, Frances Restuccia

    I ordered the salmon burger, no bun, and the daily sorbet which was sangria flavored. The salmon burger was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The greens that came on the side were fresh and nicely dressed. My only change would be to add a bit more tartar sauce on the side for the burger but I'm sure I could have also asked for more. The sangria sorbet was refreshing and reminiscent of cinnamon flavored apple sauce (in a good way). met a family friend but noticed what seemed to be many groups of colleagues. Great spot for a casual yet upscale meal!

    We have enjoyed the restaurant in the past. Last night was the anthesis. Service was unusually random, wrong orders randomly left at table, 2 meals arriving well after the others and neither shank or pork were up to previous standards and left uneaten for the most part. A disappointment all around.

    I rarely write reviews but Henrietta’s table was just wonderful. The food was amazing and while not inexpensive it was high value for the price. The burrata was incredible and the fish just perfect. I’m not a big dessert fan but the pie of the day and cheesecake were phenomenal. BThe wait staff was excellent - timely, knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was bubbly - just the right amount of noise. Plus the “mascot” Henrietta the big is adorable.

    My friend and I had a get-together and returned to Henrietta's Table on this lovely spring afternoon. We ate on the patio, which wasn't very busy. The service was superb, and our food arrived in perfect shape and very quickly. Because they were not busy, we felt comfortable chatting long after paying the bill. I could not have imagined a more delightful meal and dining experience.

    Service was abysmal. After sitting ignored for about 20 min we had to signal the waiter for drinks. We put our order in right away but after waiting an hour and still no food we had to chase the waiter and manager down to inquire. We were told our food was being plated but it was a lie because 15 minutes later our dinners still had not arrived. The two tables adjacent to us were seated after us yet received their dinners before us. There obviously was some type of mistake made with our order such that the kitchen did not receive it but no one owned up to it or leveled with us. Apologies were prolific but no real explanation given, other than "we are short-staffed". Unfortunate because this used to be one of our go to restaurants but I don't think we'll be going there anytime soon!

    The food is superior. The value is very good, but we felt that $40 for the leg of lamb dinner was a bit steep. Perhaps the $36 price charged at the brunch should be carried over to the dinner. We love this dish, and Henrietta’s cooks it perfectly, but it could have been a bit less pricey. The garlic mashed were delicious as was the asparagus.. I also had a romaine salad for an appetizer that was amazing, original and very filling. Dave raved over his appetizer of beef barley soup. We were pleased with the service. The noise level received a low rating as there was a couple that were coughing their heads off a couple tables over.. But our overall experience was very good on all fronts, and we will always go back.

    We went on Holy Saturday for the brunch to avoid the Easter crowds but the brunch menu is very limited. The food was good, my steak was cooked medium rare and was supposed to be medium well. I brought it home to recook it. The crab and corn chowder was different, I think I was expecting more of a clam chowder with crab and corn. But it was more of a corn and crab stew, no milk or cream. I would return but I would much prefer the supper menu. The staff was friendly and helpful, the appetizers were served quickly but the main courses took a while..

    Loved this restaurant years ago but sadly the food is really terrible now. service was fine but food quality just really sub par. salad was overdressed, greens were butter, pot roast was over cooked and dry, chowder was a little gluey :(. not a single person in our group of 5 enjoyed their entree. hope they can bring back the quality!
