Great food and variety, especially for the price. Large menu! Great sports watching and TVs all over the restaurant. Bar is fun too. Michael the manager is amazing with great service and special care to his customers. Fun, overall great value in this location! read more

A good place to come to with friends and family or even by yourself enjoy watching the game and eat some great food. And the burgers here are amazing the drinks are pretty decent and decently priced. What makes this place so great is the Staff that works here.. Very pleasant individuals always with a smile and bring your food promptly. I have to give this place 4 stars not only for location but for greatness in customer service, but the drinks are a tad overpriced due to what they are. Our server Anthony was a great server and made it even more pleasant. read more

Smells old stale beer when you walk in. Food is uninteresting and not appetizing at all and it tasted like there was nothing fresh. In a word Kraft. I was there June 28th. Have you tasted the mac & cheese lately Michael? read more

Come on now. I ordered soft pretzel sticks. Why did I receive pizza crust sticks? $17 no less. Picture speaks for itself. Ate them because I was hungry. Service was great, comfortable seating, and fun night. Wish I had just stuck to drinks. read more

Hadn't been here in ages but it appealed to my friend and me especially since I wanted to keep track of the football games. Yet another cocktail and beer menu with no prices. WTF, why is this a thing now? Annoying. Negroni and pineapple cocktail were good (about $12), apps of fried pickles and Buffalo cauliflower tasty. My bowl of corn bacon potato chowder was tasty ($11) and filling and my friend's southwestern salad with steak was good if a little pricey. Great service at the bar, def a good choice for a cold Sun holiday night. read more

I've seen a lot of tiktoks about this place and I wanted to try it out while my friend was in town visiting. We went for lunch on Saturday. You can order off the brunch menu or the all day menu. I had gotten the pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was pretty good. Our server was very short with and seemed annoyed that we didn't get drinks with brunch. The whole experience was pretty average. read more

This salad was delicious and good! I will recommend it to my friends and family! Fresh beets in the salad and the quinoa were excellent. This is a must-have read more

I respect this business a lot for persevering through the pandemic and providing frontline workers with free meals and supporting them in other ways! I think the food here is amazing! I especially love the chicken sandy and the truffle tots! While I consider myself a loyal customer to HG, I primarily go there when there is some kind of promotion because the food is otherwise too pricey for me to justify on a regular basis. I wouldn't expect them to get everything in your order exactly right. We usually have something come out incorrect whether it be forgetting to include ranch or giving us the wrong fries, but the sandy is so good that this doesn't deter us! I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you're in the beacon hill area, I'd give it a try! They also make eating there a fun experience with unique promotions! At the start of quarantine, everyone got a free roll of toilet paper with their purchase! Hilarious and well needed! Sometimes they include $10 gift cards with your purchase or other freebies! read more

Came in for brunch this past Sunday after having run by it countless times. Around 1, the place was pretty empty and we were sat right away. We got the chicken and waffles and the smoked salmon Benedict. The waffles were a bit bland but the chicken was nicely crisped and well seasoned. Wish the syrup and sauce were served on the side! The smoked salmon was pretty tasty - they were generous with the amount of salmon and I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of tomato and spinach underneath the salmon layer. The potatoes served as the side were nicely seasoned and fried and had a nice sprinkle of cheese on top. read more

OH MY GODDDDDDD such delicious food. I came in with two friends on a friday night for drinks and apps. I had two vodka sodas that were mixed perfectly. The 3 of us shared the fried pickles, sliders, truffle tots, and the white pizza with fig and arugula. Each one was more amazing than the last. I highly recommend Harvard Gardens! read more

First time at Harvard garden, and it did not disappoint. We came with a large crowd to watch the World Cup and they were able to accommodate us. We got the loaded mimosas, which were really tasty. A Stella promoter also got us all free pints of Stella. Service was friendly and fast. I got the meat lovers omelet, which was good. Nothing special but it did it's job! Home fries were good as well. read more

This is a small, hole in the wall place in Beacon Hill, you could walk right past it if you weren't looking for it. I got the Cesar Salad and wow it hit the spot! we got mimosas and the breakfast tots to share which is a brunch need for anyone! read more

This is a great spot for group brunch! It has enough variety for whatever you're feeling. It has loaded breakfast potato tots, breakfast burritos, a few different eggs Benedict's, omelettes, huevos rancheros, multiple sweet options, etc. I got the breakfast burrito with home fries, which was great! It had plenty of steak. The atmosphere is a comfortable yet lively sports bar. I have been many times with large groups and the staff has always been friendly and attentive. The prices are also very reasonable for brunch. Highly recommend! read more

I found out that they had some Shark Week items on their menu and decided to check them out. We got here very late, but the good news is that they have a late night menu. Although limited, it suited my needs. They didn't have any Shark Week meals, so I went for the Harvard Gardens burger instead and ordered the Blood in the Waters drink. The burger was good at first, but I think it may be how they grilled the burger, but tasted salty around some of the bites. I may come back here during the day to try their other items. read more

This place is located across from mass General. The decor is cute and welcoming. There were inflatables near the door for shark week. We were seated right away and given menus. I knew I wanted the truffle Mac and my husband had the French onion soup. The truffle Mac was hot and creamy with chicken and pancetta. The soup was loaded with cheese and my husband scraped the bowl. I also ordered a blue berry lemonade, which was made by our waiter and it was amazing. I would try this place again. read more

My friends and I came here after work for drinks and some food. It was pretty empty on a Sunday night so went to the high tables. I got the pandemic punch which was so so good. Just what I needed after a long shift. We got the dumplings, parmesan truffle fries, and the pretzel for appetizers. It was all delicious. I got the Margherita pizza too which was really good. Will definitely come back after a shift again to unwind. read more

I stopped by here after a long overseas flight and I was HUNGRY! It was open late night and had decent food and drink menus. My friends and I were seated immediately and ordered the pork dumplings ($11) and a meatball pizza to share ($14). The pizza wasn't huge, but it was loaded up with meat and tasted great! The dumplings were pretty good too but I don't think I'd order them again. For a drink I ordered the Fleur de Lemon which was really refreshing. The staff was really kind and attentive here and it seems like a good place to meet locals. Nice dark bar with live music and a trendy crowd. I'd return. read more

I went there for the first time for lunch today. Ordered 3 salads all with steak tips for the price of $68. When I got back to work and handed out the salads, myself and the 2 other people were extremely disappointed to see that we paid roughly $22 each to only be given THREE small steak tips (one of us got lucky with 4). HUH?? Was not worth the money read more

Great Food, especially the buffalo chicken stuffed pretzel, and friendly staff. I come here all the time and have a great time every time

I was pleasantly surprised! My general experiences of dining in Boston have been underwhelming, so I think my expectations have dropped slightly??... But with that said, I liked what I ordered, albeit they were just sides (and one, the garlic green beans they didn't have): Broccolini Roasted potatoes We lucked up on parking. Street parking can be cruel in that area. The place was busy, but we were sat immediately. Staff was friendly. Menu was touchless, although the host didn't inform us so we sat there awhile waiting on "paper" menus. But once we got that figured out, the menu had a decent selection of items. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area again during a meal time. Kinda random - I also ordered hot tea. Green tea to be exact. And it was great! Green tea can be excessively strong, bitter, intense and overpowering. But this cup was not. Very pleasant taste. The food came relatively quickly. Although, as previously stated, we didn't order much. Bathrooms were tight, but decent. Not scary. ... now that i think of it, I MUST return to order an entree to truly confirm my review. As it stands though - Harvard Gardens is solid. read more

I've been coming here recently as my father is at Mass General across the street. I remember coming here with friends about 15 years ago after excursions at the Liberty Hotel. This place is really cool. The service is always great and there is always seating available. The Cobb Salad here is great and quite large. The Tuna Tartar is also really good with a combination of Seaweed Salad and Avocado. read more

Stopped in with a couple of folks who have been here at least twice before. It was just after noon time and there were a fair number of booths occupied. We were seated by the hostess and our waitress came over in quick time. After our drinks arrived at the table (in good time), we ordered fish & chips (for the 3rd time, so I'd say it's good) fish tacos and a reuben. The fish tacos have a nice amount of spice and heat. There is a cabbage slaw that is a little sweet and nicely compliments the spice. The flour tortilla is not heated before being filled but is sturdy and held up well to the slaw dressing. Two lime wedges were on the plate but sadly they were mostly dry - I got a few drops of juice out of them, but would have like a nice citrus squirt. The side salad I ordered is a bowl of lettuce. I won't do that again. The reuben was not 'the best' but certainly good. Sandwiches comes with house made chips but the fries were substituted. They are fresh and very tasty. A side of ketchup was included on the plate. The fish and chips portion is generous and is served with coleslaw and fries. All the ingredients seem to be good quality here. I ordered a coffee after lunch and boy was this coffee strong! It was good, but not particularly hot and got cold before I finished the mug. Still, it hit the spot and was good. The atmosphere is laid back. Mostly booth seating, some high tops and a bar along the window wall. Ceiling and walls are painted black giving it a dark atmosphere with plenty of pendant lights. Seating is comfortable. The ladies room has two stalls and is a small space they made the most of. It's clean and in good shape. The baby changing station is in the ladies - none in the men's. Our waitress was good and checked in a number of times. We had some time on our hands after lunch and decided adult beverages were in order. The French martini is delightful. If you haven't tried one, give it a go. It's a bit sweet. There is a full bar and a variety of beers as well as coffee, teas and soft drinks. read more

Dave the bartender is a rockstar!!! Always a pleasant conversation and great service!! Tonight, on a super busy night, I watched him search for 30 minutes to help another customer find a lost credit card. And he did it with a smile on his face the whole time! Well done Dave!!! read more

The prosciutto pizza was fantastic, but a strange thing about their menu is there are no prices on the cocktails or wine and yet, all the beer is priced. The server had no idea why. Maybe a mistake printing the menus, but it seems a little questionable. read more

A good selection of local beers. Our waitress didn't know her beers, but she knew her food. The hot mess burger and the sweet potato fries were awesome. The Wagyu dogs were also good. The liquor prices are a little high, but the selection of beers and liquor were fabulous. A sports vibe with a mix of kids and parents and college students. 10+ sports screens. A little loud, but not overwhelming. read more

Harvard Gardens might as well be called Massachusetts General Hospital Gardens. It is located on Cambridge Street at the bottom of Beacon Hill across from Massachusetts General Hospital and 4.8 miles east of Harvard. Harvard Gardens also sits across the street from the Beacon Hill Wyndham, the hotel where we stayed this past week. It is fitting that Harvard Gardens would be the leading meal of our Boston vacation. Harvard Gardens reminds me of a hybrid pub and modern restaurant. It is a combination bar and restaurant. They serve all the great Americana food that bar restaurants are known for. I'd order the Reuben with fries, a Coke, then a cup of coffee. In hindsight the Reuben and fries were decent and nothing to yelp home about. The Americana meal that I would have later in the night at the Pointe was far better. I left with the impression that the servers need to step up the service. We would rarely see our waiter. When we waved him to the table to refill our beverages he'd refill my brother's and forget to check on my refill. When we left, it was an effort to pay for the meal. If we were dishonest, it would have been easy to walk out minus paying. When it came to the Yelp check-in offer that discounts 15% off the bill, I was temporarily separated from my phone at the time the waiter borrowed it to check with his boss on the check-in offer. Fortunately his boss was nearby and nothing happened to my phone in the hands of the waiter. More fortunately they accepted the Yelp check-in offer. The upshot is that Harvard Gardens served decent food with erratic attention to service. This would be my most ordinary meal in Boston which says a lot for the restaurants in this city considering that I rate it three stars. read more

This is a restaurant I would want to have in my neighborhood if I lived in the city. The brunch was delicious. I had the avocado toast and had the eggs poached vs fried and it was awesome. It was sprinkled with bacon corn black beans onion tomato and salsa. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly. The home fries were great also with a nice rosemary taste. My friend had the crab Benedict and she loved that. I had a few bites and no complaints from me but thought my avocado toast was much better. The price of the food was economical for the area and the service was outstanding. They also seem to cater to the area having social events like a meet and greet for the neighbors as well as reggae on fridays and clam bake on Saturday. I wish I lived closer! read more

This was one of the first places I went to when I moved to Beacon Hill. They have a diverse menu, it was hard to pick! I cant stop thinking about the salad I got and I cant wait to go back and get it again. This bar has a lot of history and even thought it's been around for a while it's pretty trendy. I haven't been there for breakfast but I definitely want to try it. read more

Varied menu. Their Beacon Hill burger was excellent. Side salad had a delicious dressing. My husband had shepherd's pie which did not meet his definition of the dish. It was just ground meat with mash potatoes on top. No vegetables in sight. Service was good on a busy day. read more

This effectively a dive bar for Beacon Hill. There are plenty of health care professionals since Mgh is right next door. It seems to have a relatively decent social atmosphere but the cleanliness leaves something to be desired. The kitchen opens up by the bathroom and you can clearly see the trash and grime that is begging to be cleaned up. The prices are fair and reasonable so that is a benefit. The food isnt great but it is bar food so dont expect much. Low stars only because I had to deal with very rude staff multiple times. read more

Great place to go around Beacon Hill. The staff is lovely, especially the bartender Karen. She has treated me with kindness, making me feel at home. The food is great. They have classic bar food and classic cocktails. This place is significant for people who work in the medical field, as MGH is down the street. Many nurses, doctors, PA/NP, and admin people drink after a shift (usually after 7 PM). Great place to meet up. read more
