Parsnip offers excellent food and cocktails in an elegant setting right in the middle of Harvard Square. It occupies the former space of Upstairs On the Square. I have been to Parsnip once before, some time ago, and remember not having any specific expectations before the dinner and being pleasantly surprised. This time around I have to say it was even better. The dining toom is elegant and feels upscale. The food is modernistic and borrows from various cuisines - French, Italian, Asian. The service is relaxed. The cocktails are on point. The star of the dinner was the roasted carrots dish. It was a larger portion, so we opted to share it. It was a fantastic dish with various textures, and complex, balanced flavors that complemented each other well - earthiness, sweetness, acidity. Really delicious. Other dishes we had: - The Eggplant Agedashi, a pleasant surprise: wonderful dashi broth with coconut rice and a nori chip. Tender eggplant and again - complex and balanced flavors. - The hand rolled Capunti pasta was super comforting - the braised guinea hen ragout was outstanding, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the shaved truffles on top were a nice bonus. - The Farm Egg dish was tasty as well - there was this wonderful acidity that cut through the richness of the dish. - For main courses we tried the Rohan Duck and the Smoked Gnocchi. Both were outstanding as well - everything was perfectly cooked with great flavors. Desserts were alright - not very impressive, considering the level of the savory part of the dinner. We tried the S'mores and the Red Wine Poached Pear. Nothing really wrong with the desserts, just ordinary and better sounding on paper than in reality. Cocktails were delicious and the service was friendly. I think Parsnip definitely has the potential for brilliance. I can't wait to go back.

Starting with coat room the staff is so friendly, accommodating and helpful. We attended a company holiday event in the beautiful lounge. The food was lovely to look at and even better to eat.

Best service in the Boston area. Order the Venison and the pound cake- request Styles as your server and you will not be disappointed. The bone marrow dish is also out of the world. Visit this restaurant as soon as you can. Treat yourself!
