While I recently raved about the long-lasting literarily-linked legend that is Harvard Square’s Grendel’s, I am just as excited to go back to the Square to check out its new sibling site, the Sea Hag.
Named for another character in the Olde English classic, this just-as-cozy and satisfying spot offers comfort food faves like fried pickles and calamari and Grendel’s legendary French dip along with scallop ceviche, a “messy” cobb salad topped with a fried egg, a grass-fed steak (available as a dinner or in a sub), and creative takes on arancini, Caesar salad, and other items that are sure to keep you coming back.
While the broad but uniformly-delicious menu may make it difficult to decide among the many mouthwatering dishes, it may be even more difficult to pick between the sweet and savory sisters. That being said, as its name might imply, the Sea Hag seems to lend a bit toward fish and there are plans afoot for live music and other offerings that may help you decide, at least on some days.
From morning coffee and homemade muffins and scones to late-night snacks and all the vibe that Grendel’s has been delivering for decades, The Sea Hag is surely a great addition to the Harvard Square scene and one that will remind you of its glory days of yore.
Don’t hwaet to go!
