"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.

    I had not dined at Branch Line for several years, but I recall enjoying it. Parking was a breeze. The restaurant offered a warm ambience on a cold night. The waitress, Alex, was helpful and on the ball. The food was excellent, notably the chicken wing special, the pea tendrils salad, and the piri piri chicken, which I got with truffle fries. The Loire wine was an excellent complement. Overall great experience. We will be back.

    The dinner menu was well-planned and I loved that the communal dining table of the original Herb Lyceum made its way to Puritan & Co.for this special dinner. We selected our own bottle of wine to enjoy with the meal, but i observed that people who went with the wine pairing were happy with that. Chef Andre's courses were creative and each element was thoughtful and surprising, but mostly delicious. Hoping this dinner becomes a regular feature.
