"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.

I was extremely disappointed with the entire dinning experience. Our table of 10 was seated in Avery right spot. The staff had to squeeze behind our table to go into the kitchen an we were so close to the table next to us that it was difficult to get up from our seats to go to the buffet. It was difficult for the staff to clear our plates. The room was loud and lacked ambience. The food was less than impressive. Definitely it worth the price.

Paid $125 pp for thanksgiving and had what can only be described as a high school cafeteria experience. Plain wood tables, no flowers, candles nothing special. The food displays weren’t maintained so they looked sloppy and unappetizing. The food itself was okay but jeez. Expected for it to feel a LITTLE special and it didn’t in any way

I’ve been to Henrietta’s a few times. First time doing a buffet for a holiday and wasn’t sure what to expect from a buffet at $125 a head +gratuity. The place was very busy and rather loud. Most of the food was quite good but I’d prefer a fixed menu with lesser options and a more relaxed setting rather than the ‘all you can eat’ lure for $125 a head.

A gem of a hotel restaurant packed into Harvard Square. Bright, open, concept with enough room between tables that it is easy to talk. Nice menu. Good food, and good service. Was surprised that the ‘roasted Brussel Sprouts’ were uncooked, because everything else was good.

I've been here several times, and sometimes it misses the mark. However, when it hits it really hits, as it did on this night. Appetizeer special was Scallops, which were placed on a bed of the most divine creamy garlic chard creamed corn mash I've ever tasted. The pork chop was perfect, and the pumpkin (ALWAYS order the pie of the day here) pie was the perfect ending.

A cozy place. The food was tasty but cold and dry. For the price, I’ve been to a lot better buffets. We will not be coming back.
