   We joined a friend for Dine out Boston last night and the menu looked so good- we were very excited. But we left disappointed. The only food we really enjoyed was the bread basket… I felt that the sangria tasted a lot like raisins- too sweet for my taste. My corn chowder had a texture as though it had been unfrozen and reheated- not creamy and a little grainy. My scallops were undercooked and all of us had bread pudding for dessert that was very dense - not like a bread pudding that we are used to, served with a scoop of ice cream that was rock hard, like hard to spoon into. Service was excellent and prompt which is why I gave more stars on that level. We probably should have sent some of the food back for a do over but we’re having fun talking with our friends so didn’t want to interrupt that. Just surprised-this is generally a well reviewed restaurant.

   The food was not very good, especially the appetizers. The burrata starter was too oily and the salad had an overwhelming dressing. The mains were better but I would have expected more for the price. There were only 4 scallops with some uninspired sides. The pork chop was decent. Dessert was ok, but the bread pudding was way too sweet. Overall not worth it.

   The wait staff treated our birthday boy (well man; he turned 75) to a candle and chorus of Happy Birthday.

   We had a delightful time celebrating our best friend's 70th birthday over Sunday brunch. The food was spectacular and the service was excellent. Excellent place to enjoy a scrumptious brunch!

   The food is always top notch, but the kindness and flexibility of the staff makes Henrietta’s Table stand out, and brings us back year after year. We were a large-ish group, with friends coming and going, and you’d never think we caused a bit of bother. We had a birthday in the group, and they followed our requests to a T— come out with a candle, but please don’t sing.

    Another great meal and great service. Our drinks were really good too. The only comment I’d have is this time the vegetables that came with our dishes (pot roast and scallop dishes) were over cooked. We’ll definitely be back.

    I have been dining at Henrietta's Table for almost thirty years and can truly say that I've never had a meal there that was less than great. But breakfast at Henrietta's Table is a new thing for me, and I guess it's no surprise that it's just as good as the other meals. The food was wonderful (those hash browns!), our server was very attentive, and my friend and I had a fine time. I look forward to another breakfast there, very soon.

    Excellent dishes but fewer options than before. My favorite used to be the Chef’s salad which is now no longer offered. The salmon burger, quiche and pot roast are all tasty.

    The good thing about this place is that they have parking in the hotel garage. The food was ok. The sirloin steak was chewy and hard to cut. The salmon was good but I didn’t like the raw fennel that come with it. I should have listened to the server and opted for the chicken and scallops. Next time, maybe.

    Henrietta's is a very reliable dining experience. We tend to go there for most meals when in Cambridge because it is a comfortable , hospitable place to visit with friends. The food is solid American fare, made with good ingredients and the atmosphere is friendly.

    We love Henrietta’s Table. We often go with a group at holiday time or sit at the bar other times. This time was for my wife’s birthday and it did not disappoint. We both had the pot roast and it couldn’t have been better.

    The special Valentine's Dinner menu, which was available this weekend, is outstanding. The cauliflower soup and baked stuffed lobster were delicious. It is clear the chef put a lot of love into both!

    We'd always been curious about Henrietta's Table as it's sort of a "Cambridge Institution." We finally got the chance to try as it was the seemingly best/affordable choice before going to an event nearby. While the service was friendly, it was a little bit of a delay at the host area because they also handle payments at the counter for baked goods I guess? The server was pretty busy but he was friendly and ultimately we got our food quickly enough since we were on a semi-tight schedule. The food tasted good but the most disappointing thing was the portion sizes--not asking for typical-3lbs-of-food-AmericanStyle, but for example the scrod entree was about half the size of what we have had pretty much anywhere else, with a few thinly-sliced potatoes for garnish, so likely not enough to make your average-sized person full. Also the sides were small in portion, kind of surprising being that they were charged at almost-appetizer prices ($8 each). I get that food costs have really gone up, but it's just disappointing to have items that are really about half the size what an average person would expect - wouldn't it make more sense to just charge a little more and provide the expected size, or offer half and full size portions for different prices?

    Excellent food and value. The chicken and duck dishes exceptional. You won’t find better deserts in any Boston or NYC restaurants. Very casual and friendly atmosphere especially sitting at the bar.

    We used to love Henrietta’s Table but sadly, the only good thing left from what we remembered was that delicious cranberry walnut bread from the bread basket (can also purchase a loaf to go!). The service was lackluster and we felt ignored. The food was also not as good as proteins were over cooked and playing was sloppy. We even notified our server that two plates were very over cooked (read: inedible) and the manager looked at us but never came over once to address it as most do. Noise level was moderate. If I were staying at that hotel and felt too hassled to order elsewhere, it may be the only reason to dine there as a last resort but believe UberEats would be a better option for all the many other wonderful places in the area.

    Sadly the pie of the day, a chocolate banana cream was disappointing. The crust was so thick and dried we could not even chop it with knife and fork and the filling was mushy. Other than that, all was delicious

    With Henrietta's Kitchen firing on all cylinders, only the lighting scheme — like a chapel during visiting hours — is holding it back from the best dinner in Harvard Square for value, cheffing, and service with a warm smile.
