For something a little out of the ordinary, this is a great little spot. I loved the intimate atmosphere of the bar area. I felt as though we had traveled outside the country. Gracious service, Nice food.

The food I had was not very special (except especially expensive). It is not a bad place, but for the money I can get better food elsewhere.

Try the cassoulet - a glorious hearty, meat-studded dish from southwestern France. Here, it can be made without pork by request. Probably enough for 2 to share. I was on a low carb diet, so this was off-limits. I ordered the sole - which was very fresh, and served with cauliflower puree that looked like mashed potatoes - but was... More

I enjoyed Chez Henri on a snowy evening. I had the lovely brandade de morue, wiht was accompanied by a salsa which to my palate was a little too bland, and after that a monumental but golloptious bread and butter pudidng; I could eat only half of the portion, but that half was pretty memorably yummy. The server was charming,... More

We love our Zagat's and we know good food. This place is not it. Maybe it was good before, but it was mediocre when we were there last week. We had, as did seemingly everyone around us, the ceviche mixta as an appertizer to share. It wasn't bad, but it was in a gaudy martini glass over a bowl of... More

warm and lively atmosphere, can't beat the Cubano sandwich and mojito at the bar, dinners are lovely, dining room is fun, not for folks looking for a quiet night out, more of a family,neighborhood feel. Food is flavorful,fresh with seasonal menu changes...not to be missed when visiting Cambridge.......

All of the food here is great. I happen to like their steak as my first choice. The bar menu is very good and they make a great Cubano sandwich.

I really wanted to love the place after hearing some friends that about it but I was a little disappointed. I was amazed at the noise level as soon as I walked in the door. It sounded like a spoirts bar during a game. Our waiter was very good and checked with the kitchen to confirm ingredients due to a... More
