The Charles Hotel’s Executive Chef, Sean Lizotte, helms Henrietta’s Table and has designed a menu of "honest to goodness New England cooking."Henrietta's Table has been at the forefront of farm-to-table dining since before it was a trend or a hashtag.

    When we called to move up our reservation due to the weather, they did not hesitate to look for an alternative time. Our waitress was so nice and helpful when we had questions! Highly recommend the tuna tartare as well as the salmon!

    We had an excellent experience. We came early and were seated at a corner table, so the noise level was comfortable, and we could hear each other talk. The food was excellent - we had several fish dishes and salads. The scrod, salmon, and spinach salad were particularly good. Our waiter was outstanding. We had theatre tickets, and so were time contained. He was attentive and helpful, even with several special requests we needed to make. All around, an excellent experience. Thank you.
