Henrietta's Table Restaurant Review

Restaurant Review – This lovely restaurant, located in the Charles Hotel, is a leader in the local farming movement. Named after hotel owner Dick Friedman’s 1,000-pound pig, Henrietta's Table is New England rustic meets upscale chic. A statue of the happy hog stands at the entrance, which is a small farmers market selling jellies, herbs, seeds and flowers. Once inside, the bright and airy 138-seat dining room is modeled after an ultra-modern country kitchen. It features sparkling oak wood floors, high ceilings, and pristine contemporary versions of Cape Cod style cupboards, pantries and mission chairs. Chef Peter Davis features locally farmed, often organic ingredients grown using sustainable agriculture methods. He is known for actually sharing his local produce, fish and game suppliers with diners after a meal. The focus here is on healthy home-cooked New England classics. Delightful appetizers include the Maine Rock Crab and Corn Chowder with smoked bacon; or the House Smoked Pastrami Salmon with field greens and lemon creme fraiche. For superb main courses, sample the down-home Yankee Pot Roast with mashed potatoes and gravy; or the Grilled Smoked Pork Chop with roasted apples. Excellent sides include local wilted greens, Brussels sprouts and organic broccoli. And don’t forget the homemade desserts like their Boston Cream Pie with stone ground, organic chocolate. They also have a fantastic Sunday brunch, beautiful outdoor patio and bar area for solo diners. For one of Cambridge’s most distinctive – and healthy – dining experiences, a visit to Henrietta's Table is a must.
Henrietta's Table, the Charles Hotel, One Bennett St., Cambridge, 617-661-5005.
