This is one of the most consistent restaurants in the area. A great place to go if you are looking for a nice shady patio, great cocktail list, and fresh seafood options without having to fight over your booking. They have sadly gotten rid of the oyster happy hour that was a Harvard Square classic, but they are adding new, fun options to their menu like the infused spritzers. Always good, but I do wish they had at least 1-2 kid friendly options.

Super cute spot. Fun atmosphere. Terrific service & very friendly staff. Food was quite average for the price though. Really excellent drinks!! Go for drinks & apps.

Fabulous meal! Will be back! Everything was delicious. Very conveniently located but kind of on a side street so it’s not super loud.

I live this place! Except the Caesar salad with shrimp THREE burned shrimp for 8 dollars and a very small salad … not good and not worth the money. The rest of the food was great. The waitstaff, fabulous A great experience.

We had a wonderful experience for mother's day. Brought my 3-year-old and my parents, and had great service. They were even able to move us inside when the patio (reserved) was a little chilly for my mom. Music was quiet without being silent, and everyone around us was friendly as well. We enjoyed delicious oysters, tacos, ceviche and more. My dad is a coffee snob, and said, "they have GREAT coffee!" Only point off was that the menu wasn't a quite right for lunch. I've been to Red House several times and always had excellent experiences. In the past we've had excellent cocktails, great craft beers, and more. We will go back again for sure.

I return to the Red House often. Beautiful oysters, delicious lobster and a good dry champagne to pair with my lobster roll. The service was excellent. Thank you for looking after me until my supper guests arrived.
