22 Best American Restaurants near Harvard

“The grounds offer breath taking views of New England beauty proportions. You have a lot here in small spaces for time to explore and wander or nibble and sip. Affordable day trip to explore, and learn. The hosts in every museum house are incredibly knowledgeable and with a love for what they do that is like a warm hug. The little shop is full of beautiful things and affordable art pieces to purchase. All in all, a lovely piece of New England for the day trip adventurer that enjoys indoor-outdoor simple pleasures. And from what I hear, a bucolic setting for a wedding, anniversary, birthday or other events.“

“Gibbet Hill is by far my favorite restaurant. The crab dip appetizer is loaded with crab, I think the salads are picked out back on the day they are served, and the steaks are second to none. The atmosphere is so friendly, cozy, and just the right amount of upscale. Even if you don't eat, sit at the bar and try their signature cocktails. Last but no least the Pot de Creme desert is not to be missed. The only problem is they have ruined me for all other steak restaurants as I always find myself comparing it to Gibbet Hill Grill steak.“

“We just ate here the other day as our daughter has moved to Clinton. We were so thrilled with our entire meal, starting with the warm bread with oil/parmesan brought to the table. The clam chowder was the best I have ever had, many more clams than potatoes. The New Zealand mussels were so tender and the broth so dippable! We have told our daughter we will be visiting her much more often just so we can go here again. (I'm not sure she was thrilled with that news until we told her we would definitely take her out to a meal here!)Parking: Got a spot right in front of the restaurant for a Saturday lunch visit.“

“We’ve tried several local home meal delivery companies and Weco is by far superior. They use quality ingredients and recipes that my whole family (even a picky toddler!) enjoys. As a busy mom of one, soon to be two, it is really a time saver!“

“Folks, With St. Patrick's Day upon us, I was so sad that my go-to Irish Dinner place folded over the past couple of years. Out of desperation I simply asked a friend where he and his wife go in the Metrowest area for their corn beef and cabbage Irish Dinner. Without missing a beat he said Bullfinch's in Sudbury on Rt.20. Well I'm writing to tell you, OMG, Bullfinch's makes a delicious classic Irish dinner, served with a very nice side Dijon cream and the best bread rolls ever !!! If you don't already have an over the top place get your Irish dinner this year, run don't walk to Bullfinch's in Sudbury. You won't be disappointed. It may be a few buck more than your used to paying but as usual the quality of the food is well worth it. Bon Goile Domenick D.“

“An incredible dining experience! The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! The staff was amazing and attentive! Outdoor cocktails and appetizers overlooking a beautiful landscape and warmed by a fire...just perfect! A special thank you to Derek who was extremely helpful and attentive!..“

“We had the Sunday brunch which was very good. I had the French toast special which included bacon, eggs, sausage, potato, lettuce, French toast and a small amount of fruit. Other people had the shrimp and grits -- apparently the best grits that my wife had tasted outside of New Orleans. The Cobb salad was huge.The disappointment was the creme brulee cheesecake which was uninspired.“

“Great breakfast food and service. Seating is limited by small size of restaurant. Clean rest room. Veggie omelet was very large. Comes with toast and home fries. Coffee was hot and never had to find someone for a refill.Vegetarian options: Lots of add on. Veggies, beans, rice, toast , pancakes etc.“

“While looking for a place for dinner, we happened upon Markoh's quite by accident and are happy we did! My husband and I shared 2 small plates -- the Little Shorty, the Brussels Sprouts and the Mother Earth salad. Here it is, 2 weeks later, and we're still raving about this little hole in the wall bar/restaurant that we almost passed by. Great food, great bartender/server, great ambience. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Give this place a try.“

“This is four stars based on their great burgers. We drive 40 minutes for their burgers, past innumerable burger places. Particularly their black and blue burger, which offers real bleu cheese not just salad dressing, and a half pound of meat. Other food is pretty good; the burgers are awesome.“

“We enjoyed our monthly girls night here. The staff were super friendly. Our server was very good. The menu had some good options burgers, pizza, and full dinners. I had the salmon burger with sweet potato fries. It was tasty. The haddock dinner was well liked by a few of my friends. The room had a rustic tavern vibe. Would definitely recommend. Prices were very reasonable.“

“We used Stevie's for catering the meal after funeral services. They made the entire process extremely smooth and were so accommodating. We couldn't be more thankful to have found Steve. The service was great, pricing was great and the food was awesome. Highly recommend Stevie's. We couldn't be happier!“

“Raw seafood prices are a bit high but the cooked items are delicious and priced well. Grilled salmon sandwich - 5/5 very good. Came with a thick piece of salmon filet. Ask for lettuce, tomato and onion when ordering. Fisherman's platter - 4/5 everything on the platter tasted juicy and fresh. I especially liked the whole belly clams and shrimp. The fries were alright and tasted frozen. Onions rings - 4.5/5. I don't think these are made jn house but they were perfectly fried and tasted great. Service - 5/5 the owner was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to coming back again.“

“I've only been in twice, and each time I've ordered the exact same thing - the buffalo chicken flatbread, the buffalo tatertots (loaded), and lavender lemonade. The flatbread and tots are delicious. Honestly, my life will never be the same. So good. And the bartenders always make super tasty drinks, of course! 10/10 recommend!“

“Great spot to pop in to sit at the bar for a drink and app/food but always busy. Great friendly bar tenders. Diverse menu with something for everyone.Parking: There is street parking but limited. Also, behind the building are a few big free parking lots. Walking there is safe and well lit.“

“We only had French fries- which were excellent! But being a beer drinker - IPAs - there were lots of delightful and local options and the conversation with proprietor about the lineup was pleasant and interesting. The vibe ranks high. Enjoy!“

“Great night, really good food, excellent cocktails and a very nice wine. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. The birthday cookie and candle on the dessert was a nice touch. Just a really nice evening. Monday is a good night to go to F&V. Other nights can be a bit noisy and cramped feeling but the food and drinks are still excellent.“

“Incredibly delicious ice cream! Our favorite spot around! They always have a great selection and occasionally roll out new flavors. The employees are always super kind and patient, and will let you try a flavor if you’re unsure or haven’t had it before.They sell other drink and food items, which I have yet to try!Outdoor and indoor seating available.Dietary restrictions: Their flavor board clearly marks which ones are dairy free, contains nuts, alcohol, etc.“

“We want to thank your team at the Portuguese Club for putting on such a great event for our 80th Birthday event! We were extremely impressed with the beautiful venue, food, and decorations! The Portuguese Club has an absolute gem of a facility and staff that made us feel welcome on this special day. Again, a million thanks to everyone for putting on a very successful event!“

“This is an old school diner! Not a 50s or 60s styled place, but a booth and bar, coffee and eggs, family run place. Food is great, prepared perfectly by genuinely kind people. Been a patron for years. It's so nice to see a family working together, learning and growing. Treat yourselves and your heart will be as full as your tummy!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful evening at the phoenix. Our server BB was wonderful and attentative. I had the nachos. The chili on them were mildly spiced, but I had mine without jalapeños. The portion was huge and could easily be split by two for a full meal. My husband had the burger and was happy with it. My husband had a beer on tap, nothing special. I got a mudslide and it was excellent. For two drinks and all that it was $50. The resteraunt atmosphere was charming. Kinda bummed they didn't have any gluten-free rolls, but one can not expect that. We will be back.“
