Interesting – Service was ok, wine list very good, prices not justified, my lamb $39.00, asked for m/r came m/w, lamb ragu quite pleasant, but when did a rack mean 3 small chops, which looked like they were "in shake and bake" my partners steak was perfect, room was also quite cold. All the staff were excellent apart from the waiter who seemed like it was all to much of a bother.Eat downstairs, where the food is more reasonable, I've been downstairs many times and it has always been perfect.
Stay away from this place!!! – 1) A diner could make much better eggs than this place. 2) The freshness of the ingredients is questionable. 3) The waiter is great with spilling water and coffee but not with listening to a customer's order. 4) Ridiculously overpriced for the quality and service. With the price I am paying, I know that I will get at least good food at comparable restaurants.
last time i was there – For graduation we went there with our 13 year old daughter and i turned ou to be a great disappointment. We got sat late, the waiter left us for 10 minutes, water took for ever, refills had to be asked for, food took long, salad was disgusting, everything is crazy expensive. for us never again. there is a lot of places around that are a lot better than this
Could be great – The food was good and the portions were reasonable. The room is enchanting and the decor is fun. Service was slow and not terribly knowledgeable. Good wine list. Restaurant is superior to most restaurants in Harvard Square but that is not saying much.
GREAT!! – I don't know what these other people are talking about....I had a great experience!! The food, service, and ambiance was amazing! We were not seated right on time, but have a drink at the bar, it's really not that big of a deal! I am wondering if the authors of the other reviews eat out often in Boston- it's really the same everywhere.
Disapointed – Reading all the wonderful reviews we thought we would try Upstairs on the Square on a Saturday night and were very disapointed. We had 8:15 reservations and arrived at about 8:05. We were told it would be about 5 minutes before we were seated, 25 minutes later we were told our table was ready only to go upstairs and waot another 5 minutes. The host asked us what time our reservations were for and when we replyed 8:15 he filpped his head and brought us to our table. While the upstairs is very nice to look at it ... read more
Don't bother – I took my girlfriend for what was supposed to be a nice dinner... Far from it. The menu was impossible to order from and the food we did order was decent, but certainly not worth the money. The over all experience was brutal - topped off by the owner or manager (I'm not sure which) stand at between our table and the table next to us for 20 minutes - While describing the lurid details of a how a friend of his *had the best of luck* after running into a former lover while on vacation in Tuscony with his family a... read more
Go For the Food, Ignore the Decor – Good food. Went for lunch and had a very nice time, especially having sat near the fireplace. The room however, is like Alice in Wonderland meets the Junior League. Too many colors, which is a distraction from the meal.
Fantastic – I don't agree with the other reviews. The restaurant was excellent. Service was impecable and the food was delicious.
