A few years ago, right after Michael Scelfo left Russell House, my husband and I went and ordered burgers. They came out in under five minutes, at the same time as our wine. The burgers were dry and overcooked and not enjoyable. It seemed like they were precooked. We decided to cross the place off of our list. A few months ago, we wanted to go to brunch in Harvard Sq. and I suggested we give it a try. Well, we had a delicious brunch and very good service and have been back a couple of times with similar results. (Very good hollandaise, excellent croissant breakfast sandwich, delicious chorizo breakfast pizza, good coffee.) We haven’t been for dinner, though.
We also like the patty melt at Park. We had a lovely brunch at The Hourly shortly after it opened. I’m not sure why we haven’t been back but will do so at some point.
