"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.

Finding the way in and out of the correct elevator to the parking lot and then out of the parking lot via the attendant was a true challenge.

I brought 2 friends for Sunday brunch buffet (all-you-can-eat for $80). The food and service quality were good, but overpriced by at least $20 each. Skip the cost and dine a la carte elsewhere.

Henrietta's Table may be past its prime. I've always loved this restaurant, but my meal last night was below the standards I've come to expect. The crab-corn chowder was green and had a pea soup=like taste to it, and the Yankee Pot Roast was over salted - I couldn't eat it (and I LOVE salt.) The service was excellent, but I'm not likely to return here.

Delightful restaurant in the Charles Hotel in Cambridge. The service was friendly and impeccable. The food was delicious - romaine salad and veggie burgers for two of us and lamb for the third. The signature chocolate bread pudding was beyond belief yummy! Can’t wait to go back!

My friend ordered a pumpkin bread, and for her main of two eggs, rye bread, that came with hash browns and applewood smoked bacon. I ordered the berries hot-stack and sausages on the side. An oat latte and a cappuccino for drinks. Everything was excellent and delicious but we definitely had leftovers for next day’s breakfast, which was completely fine since we weren’t able to do another breakfast out while visiting the city. A fantastic way to start a Harvard tour day.

Our waiter was very pleasant but seemed to lack experience in some ways. He brought the large appetizer salad (to share) without extra dishes or serving implements. On the other hand, he custom-made a cocktail for one of our party. He explained menu items clearly.

We always love returning to Henrietta's where we unfailingly are treated with a warm welcome from all who recognize us as frequent guests. The food was exceptionally fine this last visit and the service was attentive, without being intrusive. My salmon was perfect and my fellow diners enjoyed theor chicke ( a fave of mine as well) and the reliably fabulous pot roast. We enjoy being taken care of by your staff of waiters and hosts: Ben is especially sweet, as is your wonderful chef!

The food continues to be just amazing and the ambiance is both lovely and welcoming. Proximity to/shared space with The Charles Hotel makes for an elegant experience in an ideal location within the square. Our server Lucas was particularly helpful, smart, and wonderful.

We had eaten at Henrietta’s table in the past and it seemed very different - maybe the pandemic era has taken its toll, or maybe it was just a slow Saturday before students return. The servers were all nice but perhaps a little bummed out by the lack of diners. We were seated at a table that was getting a steady breeze from the AC, and asked to be and promptly were re-seated, without judgement, at a booth near the wall. Appetizers (salads and chowder) came out very quickly after we ordered, which is always a little suspicious, and then dinners a while later. We had the Bay of Fundy Salmon and the Yankee Pot Roast. Salads were very lightly dressed, which one spouse appreciated and the other did not. The Salmon was just OK. The Pot Roast was very bland. Even the sauce was bland. It seemed like none of the dishes managed to be more than the sum of the parts of their menu descriptions. Overall a defeated, depressing vibe, which again might have been due to the near-empty restaurant on a Saturday night.

We went during Dine Out Boston because they were one of the few restaurants that actually had an interesting menu. The service was excellent and most of the dishes were very good. Our favorites were the Buratta and eggplant spread appetizer and the lamb shank entree. Very pleasant experience.

I feel like this restaurant has seen its heydays. I'm coming back after several years and the food was lackluster and bland. The service was good, which in a way, made up for the really bland food. Also, on a Wednesday night, the place was a ghost town an our table was the biggest party.

The service was excellent. The menu choices were good. Ambiance was lovely. Nice place to celebrate our anniversary. They were willing to work with my food allergies very nicely. My only complaint was that the pork chop was too tough for me to eat the whole thing. I would’ve preferred it to be soft and tender. I also would love if they had a dessert option that was gluten free and vegan.

I was looking forward to dinner, as I had eaten here several times in the past, but had to wait for more than 5 minutes before anybody cared to notice there was a guest waiting at the door, in spite of numerous employees running around and not doing anything that struck me as taking care of dinner guests. After being seated, the famous pot roast arrived within minutes after ordering, but it was obviously pre-prepared and not even hot. It was good, but reminiscent of take-out from a decent fast food place. I am staying for several more days at the Charles Hotel, but this restaurant will never see me again.

Salmon arrived stone cold. Sent back and it arrived a few minutes later luke warm. Started eating and it tasted, in my opinion, like it was days old and low quality, opposite of the promised “fresh caught.” After a few bites, stopped eating and filled up on bread.
