"The ideal restaurant. A place to feel comfortable eating outstanding food and drink. Great well informed service, relaxed atmosphere. The food lives up to the hype and the prices are sensible. Serendipity brought my wife and me to A H. We went to the Fogg Museum in the afternoon and then wandered Harvard Square thinking about dinner. I joked that we should check out A H, even though I had no idea where it was. I looked up and there it was across the street from us clearly a sign from the culinary gods. We decided to see if we could spontaneously grab a drink and an appetizer at the bar. We walked in and immediately found seats at the bar with no reservations (a little bit after 5PM. A couple of hours later we stumbled out of there happily fed by the raw pumpkin salad, the secret secret burger, pork belly parpadelle and some exquisite drinks. What really made it special was the bartender who in a very relaxed and informed way answered my wife's barrage of question about every dish and drink. Oh and we struck up a conversation with our neighbor at the bar who was drinking alone, waiting for his two girlfriends. It turns out he worked at the restaurant in the past and now works as a beer and cheese expert at a local store nearby. He is the one who informed us of the secret secret burger. All in all a great culinary experience."
