La Voile
La Voile, "the sail" in French, is a small authentic French brasserie and an import from the South of France.

The Cuisine is evidently French and authentic, with some "Meridional" dishes like the "Soupe de Poisson" or the Loup de Mer imported fresh from the Mediterranean. These dishes will surely conjure up memories of your last trip to the South of France or inspire you to discover this wonderful region called the French Riviera.

Legal Sea Foods, Charles Square
Mere steps from the luxurious Charles Hotel and Harvard University's hallowed grounds, this restaurant is favored for its relaxing mood and umbrella-shaded patio tables. The neighborhood-style bar and dining space evokes the humble elements and simple style of the original Legal Sea Foods in nearby Inman Square. Low ceilings create a mellow tavern feel, accented by stone, brick, dark oak, stucco, and copper light fixtures. It's a great escape from the edgy hustle and bustle of "the Square."

UpStairs on the Square
We founded our first restaurant UpStairs at the Pudding in 1982 because we loved giving dinner parties, and we've never stopped thinking of our restaurant as an excuse to host a wonderful soiree every night. Our hospitality--dispensed liberally and happily--is meant to foster a sense of gaeity, of festivity, of well-being--for guest and staff alink. You know--just like at a fabulous dinner party!
