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.

It’ll be hard to find a restaurant as welcoming and lovely as Celeste. The Union Square spot feels like a party hosted by your very cool artsy friends, who just happen to make the best ceviche in town. Every dish here is tantalizing—throw in pisco-heavy drinks and a psychedelic cumbia playlist, and you’re in for the very best of Andean culture.Recently included in The New York Times Best restaurants in Boston, Chef JuanMa and co-owner Maria Rondeau have been nominated for James Beard Best New Restaurant Semi-Finalist, Esquire's Best Restaurants in America, and Eater's Best Restaurant in Boston.

    One of our favorite restaurants. Ceviche is a must-order item. But really can’t go wrong. Fresh ingredients always and very consistent, delicious meals across the multiple times we’ve been here.

    This is my new go to restaurant. I have been for both dinner and brunch - all excellent. The “collection” concept allows one to taste a variety of dishes - fantastic idea. For the brunch, one can order a “mini” Bloody Mary” along with one egg Benedict. At dinner recently shared the arugula fig salad, halibut & had the 1/2 portion of the lamb lollipops. My friend had the 1/2 portion of rib eye. All excellent and the wait staff is incredible! Since I did not want 2 glasses of wine, they offer a 2 ounce glass which was perfect.
