Best Gastro Pubs in Medford

Great value for such a prime Boston location and the food was excellent. Late brunch on weekends a huge plus! Could have been better about allergens

My husband and I had a terrific dinner at Alden and Harlow. We shared bluefin crudo--superb, cauliflower Caesar--delicious, focaccia--totally worth getting and very plentiful, the corn pancakes, which would actually make a fine dessert (so be aware that the a savory aspect of these is more in the background). Then, we finished our shared "mains" with the braised beef, which was absolutely exceptional--moist, fork tender, and lean!! I'm craving it right now! For dessert we shared the smoked chocolate bread pudding. We thoroughly enjoyed it, but felt it could have benefitted from either a drizzle of bittersweet chocolate sauce, as it was just a bit dry in places. I'd get it again though! The entire menu is intriguing and I hope we'll be able to visit Cambridge again before too long and try more things!

Excellent creative appetizers which made for a perfect dinner. We will be back for more!

We enjoyed Russel House. We sat in the outdoor heated area and it was just perfect. We enjoyed the cocktails and the food. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was excellent as well as the hake, salmon and pappardelle. The service was wonderful. Great location near Harvard. We would go back.

It's a great re-incarnation of an old neighborhood haunt. We liked the new ambience and music, there was a good selection in the menu, appropriately priced and the Saturday crowd was energetic, as expected. The margarita was not on par with Rudy's but that can be improved upon. We'll be coming back frequently!
