Upstairs on the Square

$$$-$$$$, Continental, Cambridge

User Rating: ***** 4.8

Fodor's Review:

In the middle of Harvard Square, this restaurant strikes just the right balance between funky and urbane, with pink linens and fringes tempering the dining room's old-boy look. The Monday Club Bar offers a more casual, yet still chic, spot to nosh. Entrées aren't too straitlaced either; you might try a crispy skate wing with seared foie gras or a charcoaled lamb sirloin with Japanese eggplant on the side. Finish with an apple custard tart.

Exquisite!

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner at UpStairs on the Square last weekend. First of all, a restaurant's decor is very important to me - it's a huge part of the overall experience. I can honestly say that UpStairs wins the prize as the loveliest dining room in Boston/Cambridge - romantically decadent! Now onto the other important ingredient to the "experience" - the food! The wood-charcoiled lamb was incredible, I am still thinking about it. I would highly recommend UpStairs on the Square to anyone looking for a spot to celebrate a special occassion, or just looking for a great meal!
