Restaurants near Porter Square Station

Alden and Harlow is so reliable and the staff is so gracious - from the hostesses to the servers everyone is so pleasant and it’s always a positive experience.

On an early summer weeknight we discovered the place surprisingly quiet -- on the weekends it can be quite lively and loud! -- but this is the week lots of folks are clearing out of the neighborhood post-graduation. What a treat. We had our server's undivided attention and the food, as always, was delicious and satisfying. Margeaux is such a gem in the neighborhood. I especially recommend it to anyone taking a GLP-1 -- the tasting-size portions here let you try a lot of entree-type dishes without getting overstuffed or having to bring most of it home. Ideal for the way a lot of us are eating now, but who still enjoy gourmet eats.

The food was delicious, unique, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The noise level was very reasonable, and it was easy to have conversation. This is an excellent place to go for a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. Everything about the meal felt special. Can’t wait to go back.

We were recommended Josephine's . Everything was Great - Food, Atmosphere, Service, NO rushing us out. one exception = Cocktails were just OK! Wine was very good Looking forward to going back again

We had been to Harvest in over a decade and decided it was time to go back. To be clear, everything was wonderful - EXCEPT where we were seated. The restaurant was not busy and we could have been seated in the main room- instead, they sat us next to one meeting room with 2 large parties and then us- a 2 top - husband / wife date night . It was SO loud we could not even talk to each other! Service was amazing and the food was delicious.
