The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar

My friend had her birthday party there! There were about 40 people there and the bartender was great! My drink, a gin mule, was excellent and I was drinking them all night. They provided great food and the atmosphere all around was really fun. I think this will become a common Friday night place for my friends and I!

The most amazing place ever! I rented it out for my birthday, and I can’t stop raving about it. Food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were so amazing. Definitely my new favorite spot!

We LOVED this place. The food is exquisite (try the mushroom and black olive arancini!!) and the whole place is friendly and warm. Have been wishing for a local pub to fall in love with and we think this is it!

Really like the atmosphere of this restaurant. Went on a Wednesday night so it was fairly empty and quiet, which I didn’t mind. Attended during Boston/restaurant week. Most of the food was great. The scallops with mushroom risotto and the vanilla crème brûlée, my favorite dishes of the night. Buffalo cauliflower and fish taco were also good. Steak was a little tough but that was the only miss. Both drinks were well made, “blackberry smash” and “bow and arrow cocktail”. There’s a street with parking meters nearby but otherwise you might have to search. Glad I decided to try this place, good prices and food was worth it.

It is a nice restaurant, with decent food

The haddock is good, although very heavy in spice. Good sauce, comes handy for the bread they serve it with.

The scallops are very tasty (only 5 though), but unfortunately the same cannot be said of the risotto they are served on: it lacks depth, the mushrooms are barely noticable, no traces of white wine or anything like that, everything is floating in major over abundance of melted cheese (honestly, tasting a bit like supermarket Gouda, pardon my French).

The Prince Caspian oysters I had at lunch today were not fresh tasting and had an off taste as if they were going bad. This was my first experience in Boston with bad oysters. I let the bartender know but he didn’t act concerned. Said he would tell the kitchen. I will not go back to the Sea Hag.

We absolutely loved this place! Came in on a rainy Wednesday night before a show - the place was nearly empty, which gave us a little pause, but we were hungry and had a deadline and we were seated immediately so that was great. I’m sure their attendance was t helped by the weather nor the construction right outside their back door.The server (only one there at the time) was lovely and personable, and while she told us she’d just started there she went out of her way to get whatever information we needed and was prompt and attentive throughout;m. The first thing that really surprised us was when my daughter ordered lemonade, which was met without a blink, and when our server brought the lemonade she said “I hope it’s ok, we don’t have lemonade so I made it for you.” We ended up all trying it and it was so good that four of the six of us end up ordering it!The next surprise was a nice little courtesy, when my wife and I ordered a Guinness to split and they brought it already in two small glasses - nice touch.The biggest nice surprise was the food, which we all agreed was very good… but the fish and chips was legitimately some of the best I’ve ever had - big chunks of fish with a light but flavorful batter, not the thick bready coating that sometimes masks lower-quality fish (we later learned that the owner gets all of his fish fresh every day from a local guy in Gloucester). It was also served both with a lovely tartar sauce and a curry sauce that my wife could not stay away from. And unlike one of the other reviewers we all found their fries to be fantastic (to the point where I got to eat fewer of mine than I wanted because the vultures kept swooping in).The final surprise was the manager coming out to show and describe some of the artisanal sodas they have to one of our folks. We had a lovely conversation with him in which he told us that they had only really been in business for a few months and were just getting their feet under them. They all seemed very lovely and appreciative of our patronage… while the level of service and attention might not be scalable in a full-house situation, everything was good enough that we will absolutely go back and encourage all our friends to do the same. This is a great new, local-owned establishment that is trying to honor the history of Harvard Square and its businesses and keep it from becoming entirely dominated by chains. Absolutely recommend!!

We had a private event here recently and it was so cozy! It’s the perfect size for a group of 20 or so with a nice long bar and plenty of nooks for quieter conversation. They have a full bar and our bartender made some excellent mocktails for our NA guests. Highly recommended for a medium-sized, casual, private party.

My friends and I spent Christmas Eve at The Sea Hag and had a lovely time! Did you know that they host private events? Come and experience homegrown hospitality in the near-heart of Harvard Square! Highly recommended!
