Russell House Tavern

Editorial Review

The team behind Harvard favorites like Temple Bar, Grafton Street and Redline hits the center of the square. Crew of heavy hitters from Sel de la Terre and Drink round out a management team looking to inject a little casual class to the student-heavy area. Chef Michael Scelfo of Temple Bar brings a local ingredients focus and worldly menu outlook. Two-level layout makes for ample space here, both intimate and busy.
