Russell House Tavern

"Came here for drinks while shopping at Harvard Square. My partner got the winter spritz while I got the proclamation winter warmer. Also ordered the tuna tartar. The tuna was pretty bland and needed some spice or something. The drinks were both good. The atmosphere was really nice and warm."

"Amazing good and great prices for the quality of the food you get. I am definitively coming back. Everywhere I looked at the food on the tables looked amazing. Worth your money for sure. The risotto was heaven on earth"

"Updated review: Went for lunch and our salad, omelet, and fish & chips entrées were all very good. Brussels sprouts and french fries were both a tad overcooked. I entered a note on our reservation to wish one of my friends a happy birthday, and the waitress nicely brought out a piece of cake with candles. I was a bit surprised to see it on my bill because they never asked in advance and didn't even give her the opportunity to pick the dessert she wanted. Those are usually on the house. I’m also not a big fan of their 3% kitchen fee. I don’t see why they can’t just pay their staff a living wage. Prior review: Definitely one of the nicest places in Harvard Square. All of our dishes were excellent. Don’t know why but we decided to start with french fries as an appetizer. They were hot and fresh and tasty. Having both ketchup and aïoli as sides is a nice touch. I had the faro bowl with salmon and it was a very generous portion. The salmon was a bit rare, so if you don’t want a little bit of sushi in your bowl, be sure to tell them. Hillary, our server, was excellent and attentive. We didn’t feel rushed and we were never wanting for anything. Will definitely go back."

"Good food and sumptuous cocktails. The pizza was amazing! We’re just a little late to get to brunch so we had to wait it out and eventually had to get food off of the dinner menu. Not complaining but yes, check timings before you head in. Their espresso martini is on point! Absolutely perfect! Would certainly recommend a visit!"
