I have seen so many reviews regarding the restaurant that I wanted to check it out myself. I went there for lunch with and it seemed that the waiter wasn't very familiar with the menu when I asked questions about the food. The food itself wasn't spectacular but just OK. The food is well below European Michelin-starred restaurants standards. I have invited all my guests and price didn't seem too excessive for lunch (I don't know about the menu for dinner). I have enjoyed the design of the restaurant which is pretty unique in Cambridge and Boston. I guess that I'll try this restaurant again sometime.

One of the best in Harvard Square. An unpretentious and delicious special occasion restaurant!

I heard so much about this establishment. Great location, food on and on.... finally, i stepped one lazy afternoon to have a late lunch. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and asked if they served food at the bar since I was alone, she kindly replied they did and told me to go in have a seat. I did and sat for about 20 minutes and watched several servers go by never acknowledging me. The place was quite mellow and serene so there wasn't anything tragic or dramatic happening. When the hostess saw me at the bar her jaw dropped because she saw I hadn't been helped at all, so that told me someone had messed up royally. She seemed to fetch somebody who might have been in charge but I kindly stated, "I guess I didn't look that hungry" and walked out and over to Sandrines around the corner and was relieved to see that the friendly hostess was followed up by a friendly bartender. So if I were to go back to Upstairs, the friendly hostess there would have to be calling the shots and re-training the waitstaff. The beauty of restaurants in Boston and Cambridge is that their upheavals are a part of city chatter so I will wait to hear about the hostess getting promoted to GM at Upstairs and hopefully get some good material to write something positive about this seemingly charming restaurant.

Four of us came here recently to enjoy dinner and drinks. Unfortunately, the temperature was similar to that in hell. Either this place no quality air conditioning or it broke down. Because of this, none of us enjoyed anything.

The food is just so good. We ordered the chicken and biscuit and the goat cheese ravioli. Both were perfect. The waitress was very helpful. We would definately go back.
