Meh.
I give it three stars because we ended up staying here after Pricelining a room in Boston and got it for an unbelievably cheap rate. That said - I'd be pretty upset had I payed full freight to stay in a room of this size an quality.
Awkward room lay out, out-dated bathroom and an old TV - extremely surprising for a place with this much (assumed) prestige that is owned and operated by Starwood (Westin, Shearaton, etc.).
On the up-side, the location of this place is great, the service was excellent and the common areas are of extremely high quality.
I wouldn't go back willingly, but if Priceline came through for us again, it wouldn't be so bad.

Weary to Yelp about this place only because I want to keep it a secret!
This place pretty much has everything you would want in a north end place:
-Great Food
-Great Wine
-Great Service
-Hanover St. Location
-More Than Reasonable Prices
-Nice Atmosphere in a Small Room
and best of all - they are on OpenTable - a key point to consider during Boston's colder months when waiting in long lines outside (looking at you Giacomo's!) isn't the best idea.

Hmmmm.
You know, I'm really not sure. I wanted to like it a lot more than I actually did. The novelty of it is great - drinking great beers, outside, in Harvard Square.
But I guess it ends there.

I dig it.
And honestly, I'm pretty suprised about all of the "middle of the road" reviews out there. Its obvious that they have standardized the menus a bit, which has likely let them focus on the quality of their meals.
I got the Steak Frites, and the hangar steak was not only a high quality cut, but cooked perfectly. The combo of red wine demi, melted herbed butter and the juices from the steak made for a perfect dipper for the frites - no ketchup needed. My girlfriend got the Paella, and while an unlikely choice, she loved it (a high compliment from someone with a Portuguese background).
Service was great - though I prefer mine a bit on the colder side - efficient and pleasant, but in no way interfering with the meal.
Grafton St. was a solid place to get a good dinner at a not too steep price (2 entrees and 2 drinks for around $50). Highly recommended for those looking to get a bit off the beaten path of Harvard Square.

Good haircuts, good price, but the wait times can get out of control. Make sure you call ahead.

Best meal I've had in Boston in a long time.
Went here for father's day brunch and was greeted with nothing but great service and excellent food. My family and I opted to get the $23 3 course prix fix brunch (an exclusive for this SDLT location) which offered a great value, as well as excellent food.
We started with the goat cheese and pear stuffed brioche, which was accompanied by a side of apricot jam. This stuff was better than the french toast that they had sadly ran out of.
Course #2 was an amazing combination of a Fried Egg, pork tenderloin and frites. The bloody mary was a perfect accompaniment to this dish.
Finally, for desert, we had the cream cheese sponge cake, which had a presentation that rivaled the taste - which was impeccable.
All in all, this location is a class act, and served as the perfect location for any celebratory brunch. I can't wait to go back soon.

Went here a few weeks ago. The same menu as their sister restaurant Chardonnays, which I like better because of the location and atmosphere.
Big points for the fireplace, service, and delicious meatloaf.

Was taken here by my girlfriend for my birthday (in September). Have to say one of the best steaks I've ever had - I ordered the special for that day - the Carpetbagger steak, which is a Filet stuffed with oysters. It may sound odd at first, but give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
The decor is awesome, and be sure to go here in the warm weather, where the open up the whole front of the building - giving you a nice view of Boylston while still being able to take in the steak house atmosphere.
