"Date night at Russell House Tavern @russellhousetav in Cambridge 🍽️✨ This spot is seriously underrated — the vibes were a 10/10 across the board. Cozy, romantic, and right in the heart of Harvard Square. Overall, I’d give the food a 9/10. The pasta was a bit chewy, but honestly I still appreciated the homemade quality and flavor. Everything else was spot-on and so delicious. If you go, you have to try: 🐟 The tuna appetizer 🔥 The half-roasted chicken 🍝 Their homemade bucatini pasta 🍫 And definitely end the night with their chocolatey brownie dessert 😍 Such a warm, delicious night out — can’t wait to go back!"

"Russell House Tavern is perfectly situated right in the middle of Harvard Square. The vibe here is great, with a nice two-story layout that feels welcoming and lively. My friend and I sat at the bar and found it to be the perfect spot for a casual meal and drinks. We were greeted nicely and seated right away. Service was very fast—our menus and drinks came almost immediately. The food menu might be small, but it's well-curated and perfect. We ordered a burger and a pizza; both were cooked nicely, delicious, and had great flavors. We even managed to snag a table by the window, which was lovely for people-watching the busy city go by. I definitely recommend this place if you're visiting Cambridge and want to stop for a quality bite."

"What an amazing extension of Grafton Grill. Had the fortunate pleasure of dining there.The last few weeks and it was hands down an amazing experience.And I suggested to anyone in the harvard square area! Broad menu, fairly priced, amazing ambiance and friendly service and great food! I got the salmon and potatoes and my friend got the roasted chicken and potatoes"

"My husband and I had such a wonderful experience at Russell House Tavern! We sat outside and really enjoyed the atmosphere—it was lively but still cozy. Our waiter was incredibly nice, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the calamari and the Mushroom & Leek pizza, and both were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Cambridge. Highly recommend!"

"Stopped by this restaurant in Harvard Square on a Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was lively with a great vibe, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Despite it being busy and us not having a reservation, we were seated right away with no wait. Service was friendly and quick throughout our visit. The food was delicious — especially the calamari, burger, and pizza. The steak was just average, but overall this place is a solid option if you’re in Harvard Square and looking for good food in a fun setting."
