Editorial fromIts unobtrusive side street location in Harvard Square makes Sandrine's a true find, if you are lucky enough to come across it. Outside, the restaurant resembles an Art Nouveau-era Paris Metro station, while its interior mixes mosaics of…

Poor service and 18% gratuity for party of 2 – This was my second time at Sandrine's - shame on me. When paying $30 for an entree, I expect certain basic service principles such as being allowed to finish our appetizers before having our entrees served. The waitor's excuse was "we're really busy tonight, so we prepared the entrees as the orders came in." I looked around and noticed maybe 10% of the tables were empty. This is a "busy" night? I wonder what the service would be like when this place is booked!!! Another thing I ... read more
Specializes in delightful cuisine from the Alsace region of France – This beautiful glass-enclosed restaurant nestled on Holyoke Street offers a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of busy Harvard Square. Sandrine's specializes in delightful cuisine from the Alsace region of France, a vineyard area on the border of Germany's Black Forest. Their signature dish is the irresistible tarte flambee (flammekueche), a light pizza-like baked flatbread filled with savory toppings like smoky bacon or salmon, with caramelized onion... read more
Extremely Disappointing – Beginning with the hostess's cold greeting our experience never rebounded. If you like to pay for pretention then this is the place for you. The filet mignon was inedible as it was overcooked: requested medium it was served well-done and charred. The management responded with an offer for complimentary dessert, a short offer considering the whole dining experience was uncomfortable and drawn-out; in the end they did recognize that they were at fault. In general the food rested on its appearance wher... read more
should have been better – We were able to get a table at the last minute on a weekend night during Restaurant Week. The hostess rather icily informed us that they were fully booked and reservations were required. However, the proprietress, who was standing nearby, overheard and interceded. She was very welcoming, found space and we were looking forward to a terrific evening. Fifteen minutes after being seated, our waitress finally stopped by. She was abrupt, clearly not happy about something (Restaurant Week perhaps?) and ab... read more
Chef Raymond Ost sets a new bar for Boston-area French restaurants, sporting authentic Alsatian plates like flammekueche and baked escargot. – Sandrine's evokes an auberge you might find outside Strasbourg--particularly for the giant hearth oven that cooks the rich, pizza-like flammekueche. Chef Ost manages to juggle a large menu with grace, emphasizing the hearty Franco-Germanic fare of his native Alsace with some broader French influences. Making choucroute always struck us as magic, akin to spinning straw into gold, and S... read more
THE FINEST FOR ALL OCCASIONS – Outstanding food and service. Very interesting menu and appetizers and entrees served as elegantly as one could ask for. The ambiance of the dining room was measured by its classic elegance, and the environment clean and refined. The quality of the food was superb, and there was a broad enough selection for palates of all tastes. Desserts were tasty and a thing of beauty to see. The service was impeccable and the servers not overbearing. This is a great place to celebrate any special occasion;g... read more
Pleasantly romantic. – My wife and I suddenly found ourselve able to make a quick dinner plan when our child was off for an evening at a friend's house. Sandrine's was the closest place with an available reservation on short notice. A rainy night, we parked in the underground lot just next door. The room was warm and romantic; the service friendly and efficient. While the food was just a shade better than "ok" and the prices a notch too high, it was still such a nice experience that we would be pleased to return if atmospher... read more
Sandrine's so-so – The restaurant was very accommodating when it came to seating our large group. My grilled romaine lettuce salad was pretty good, but my duck entree was just so-so: it was lukewarm and the best part was the mushroom risotto underneath. For dessert I had the chocolate cake with caramel center: it was a bit heavy but delicious.
first visit to Sandrines very enjoyable – Looking to try something new, we recently dined at Sandrine's restaurant in Harvard Square. I don't speak French, and we were all both new to Alsatian cuisine, so the menu was a little confusing at first. Our waitress patiently explained everything from flammekueche (alsatian flatbread) to choucroute (sauerkraut). Our food was wonderful, we shared a proscuitto and pear flammekeuche and mussels to start, then a rack of lamb and choucroute. We forwent a bottle of wine and instead sampl... read more
