   There are several rooms but the one small one we were in was loud to the point of being unplewsant.

   Got very sick the next day after eating here. Contacted the restaurant and no answer. Would love my money back—the food wasn’t even worth getting sick over!

   We ate on the porch under warm heaters and clear plastic siding. It was lovely to feel the outside inside. The waitstaff was excellent as usual, and while I ordered what I always order and enjoy, my spouse tried the short ribs and loved the plate. The Red House is becoming our new "local."

   Had an excellent experience. First timers. Server Holly was top notch, from drinks to food recommendations. Living with a gluten sensitivity, I especially appreciated her ability to steer me in the right direction for gluten-free options. Shared a dozen abundant Duxbury oysters, a delicious and flavorful roasted kale salad, and we each got the seafood fra diavolo: mine over gluten free gnocchi. The gnocchi was the best GF gnocchi I've ever had, and the sauce had just the right amount of spiciness. My husband also got an appetizer of the seafood empanadas, and said he would come back for those alone! As a tequila fan, I enjoyed the Mezcal and Walnut: perfect winter sipping drink. Dined in the bar room, and I would choose that room again. It was a weekday lunch, and there was only one other party in that quaint room, full of character. We will return!

    They were very accommodating to a gluten-free, no garlic, no onion diet and gave me a delicious lunch. Service was excellent. Setting was pleasant and they have a great "outdoor" option that was not too cold even on a 35 degree day.

    Met up with an old friend from law school. Food was good, the drinks were very good and the server was a real pleasure to deal with. If I lived in Cambridge I would be a regular.

    First time back to The Red House in more than five years and oh my how it has changed. While the food was pretty good, and the service efficient and friendly, the décor was not what we recalled - at all - and the ambience has changed significantly. Not the chintzy little New England restaurant in the pretty little lane, more the vibrant pink walled cocktail bar with bench seating and very basic amenities. Could not have been more disappointed, but that's not the restaurants fault; time moves on and Covid took it's toll everywhere. Probably does quite well with the student crowd, we would guess - but really not for us.

    Food quality very poor. Ordered swordfish, but was smelly and I left 75% of the food. My friend’s Tuna was the same. I felt NE calm chowders was good. I felt embarrassed for taking my friend who was visiting from Philly. Not worth for the price. I would rename this as “Redhouse burger shop”.

    Between the ambiance & the menu, The Red House has no rivals. Imagine an upscale fare at the pre-pandemic prices in a restaurant where you could actually hold a conversation, and you’ve got it all!

    Appetizers and wine were excellent. I had the beef stroganoff. The meat was wildly overcooked and the noodles were inch wide, eight inch long globs of gluten all stuck together. Just incompetent. Someone asked how it was, we told them, and that was that. Full price for everything. Harvard square has lots of options. This is not a very good one at the moment.

    It has been more than 20 years since I lived in Cambridge, attending grad school. So much has been added to Harvard Square. I decided to take myself out to The Red House. I ordered the lobster chowder, followed by the crab gnocchi. That gave me a wonderful fix of New England seafood cuisine. I had been doing research all afternoon and my body and brains needed some nutrition. This hit the spot. I went to an overrated restaurant the day before and it was uneventful. The Red House was understated and over performed. The server was polite, attentive and I enjoyed overhearing the staff’s choices of Christmas songs and why one of them loves “The Princess and The Frog.” Thank you for an enjoyable final night in Cambridge!

    Visiting from Indiana and thoroughly enjoyed all the seafood! We had oysters on the half shell, ceviche, and the classic lobster roll. For cocktails we loved the M4 and the Rosemary Tonic. I recommend it all. The service was excellent and we really loved the ambiance. So happy with our experience!

    They were very welcoming and accommodating to move us from the indoor seating outside. The drinks and food were great in terms of both quality and quantity. Maybe just one of the pastas we ordered was a bit dry but they offered us extra sauce. It’s one of my happy places honestly.

    Was a great meal up until my wife found a hair in her pasta dish. Nice apologies from the team and they took her meal off the bill, as they should have. Offered another meal to replace but hard to say yes to after an experience like that. Often wonder if a restaurant offered even more as an apology if it would change my view of the experience - didn’t find out this time.
